be treated as outlaws, disarmed and In
the event Of resistance. shot down by
United States troops. Officials at the
state and war departments made this
clear tonight, although no official advices
had been received that such developments
We're in prospect.
Maior-General Funston, commanding
the American border forces, has fun au-
thority to take any necessary steps to
prevent violation Of American territory
An order to cross the border would have
to come from Washington but If bullets
fall on the American side during any
battle across the line, General Funston
may use his artillery to drive the COM
batants away
In tie event Of battle at Aqua Preta
In which General Funston found it
necessary to use his guns to protect
American lives and property. it is said
that they undoubtedly would be trained
upon the outlaws. not upon the Car
rama forces.
lntimations reached Washington to-day
that Governor Ferguson of Texas might
decide to ask President Wilson for a
wider use of the federal troops In the
vicinity OF Brownsville, where bandit
raids have been frequent. Some off,
cials suggested that the Governor might
himself declare martial law within
restricted zone and ask the aid of the
federal government in rounding up the
bandits and outlaws therein.

THE REASONS WHY
SUB MARINE F-4
SANK At HONOLULU

Washington. Oct GA statement
Issued here tonight by Henry r. Carse
president Of the Electric Boat company
designers of the submarine F-4, at
tributed the loss of the boat with her
crew In Honolulu harbor to the fact that
ballast tank air valves had been left
open. Corrosion of the lead lining of
the batteries and of rivets found by the
naval board of inquiry to have been the
primary cause of the disaster, the state
ment said, indicated lack of care. but
could not have been more than a con-
tributory cause. OF the naval board
criticism OF the diving qualities of the
F4 Mr.. Carse said:
THE propellers were on this boat
during her official acceptance trial and
no evidence of poor diving qualities s
were discovered then nor was any
mention of poor diving qualities ever
made in official reports after com
missioning. 1t Is impossible to see
from a technical point OF view how
such slight variation in propcllers
could affect the diving qualities of the
boat In any way
THE fact that air valves had been
found open on the forward middle and
art main ballast tanks and the auxil-
Larry ballast tank will account for the
loss Of the vessel. When a submarine
IS properly handled these valves are
only open sufficiently long for tho
air to escape from the ballast tank
when the tanks are being filled. I'm
nediately after filling the tanks the
valves must be closed. If they are not
closed 1t is impossible to blow the
ballast from the tanks and allow the
boat to rise to the surface.
I'm the foregoing remarks there Is
no intention OF reflectinG on the un-
fortunate men who lost their lives in
the vessel, but tho fact that these
valves were left open must not be
overlooked"
