There is much complaint among the
people anent the lack of proper CO.
operation on the old Mexican side In
the bandit war. Among the old-timers
you hear regretful allusions to the
good old days Of Porf1rio Diaz. The
outlaws are universally supposed to be
operating under the command of two
principal leaders Diaz, they say, would
have made one of these men a captain
Of mounted police and sent him out to
round up the other chief. Then, If the
newly appointed captain did not behave
properly, he would be called to the
capital to receive decoration for
valor and be quietly put out of the way.
A committee of nineteen of the most
prominent citizens Of the district has
dropped all private affairs and gone to
San Antonio and Austin to confer with
Gov. Ferguson and Gen. Funston, who
is in command of the army on the bor-

down the distur bances A better spirit
seems to be manifesting itself on the
Mexican side of the river, more strin-

conditions seem to be improving daily

for, without resort to martial law.

Grande valley is recomn ended to tour
lists looking for life of stirring va

Grounds for Complaint. ~.asn. We. q

neral of three soldiers held in Browns
vile certain Mexicans did not uncover
as the colors went by. Before the next
funeral, some one. nobody knows who.
made quiet preparations. This time
when the coffin with It's flags was car
rfed through the streets, such Mexi-
cans as did not remove their hats found
them suddenly removed by other hands.
A few were unwise enough to pick up
their hats and put them on again.
They did not do this twice.
On their side the Mexicans claim sew
eral grounds for complaint. After the
fight at Las Norias. when four bandits
were killed and five Americans wound
ed. some one snapped picture showing
three cowboys with the ropes from
their saddles about the bodies Of the
dead. The group was merely posed as
a curiosity, but 1T was widely circu-
lated and CAV" the Mexicans the i'm
preston that the Americans were drag
ging the corpses Even though they
were the corpses of bandits. the Mexi-
cans resented the incident.
They say. too, that at the bottom of
all the trouble is an element forced
upon the country by the disturbances
in Mexico. and with which they have
no concern. When Carranza troops
drove the Hueristas from Matamoros
hundreds Of the latter fled across the
border, introducing a savage and law
less element That these men are
among the bandits seems proba BILE from
the fact that they fight with some dis
regular warfare. Villas unsuccessful
assaults ON Matamoros have also sent
old Mexican Ruerrillas into the district.

The other night there was band
concert on the parade ground at
Brownsville. Soldiers and civilians.
Americans and Mexicans, strolled and
spooned and smoked as they listened
to the music.
Suddenly some one shouted an alarm.
The bandits were out, and call for
re-enforcements had been flashed to
Fort Brown from an outpost Of troops.
The gathering was scattered like a
puddle hit with a brick The Mexicans
were first to go. With amazing single
mindedness they took the low wall Of
the parade ground in a running high
Jump. and melted into the night. They
knew that when bandits were around
all Mexicans looked a good deal alike.
Meanwhile soldiers were loaded into
every available automobile and rushed
to the scene Of the fighting. As the
cars roared through the streets, they
met crowds of troopers running to the
fort from the town. Except for the
big, buzzing cars, it was just like an
Indian alarm in frontier days. The
fighting In this case turned out to be a
mere skirmish. but in Brownsville

The position Of the peaceful Texas

Border people are agreed that under
ordinary circumstances the lower-class
Mexican Is a particularly docile and
inoffensive neighbor. He outnumbers
the American in this district about two

In the general state Of uncertainty
