Washington, March 29-Protection
to Americans at Brownsville, Tex, oc-
cupied the war department today. 1t
is realized that fighting between the
Villistas and Carranzistas at Mata-
moras may draw closer to the border
if either force retreats. General Bill.
at San Antonio, by order of General

Blockson, commanding Brownsville

ing the border if Villa, defeated in
the preliminary battle, brings up the
artillery, as this would further en-
danger American lives.

many machine guns, while the Car
ranzistas have Y or Is field pieces
and 30 machine guns. The United
States Third cavalry machine gun
squad and battery of field artillery
is on duty along the border. Villa
is urged to attack from the west, to
protect Brownsville from artillery.
Wounded Mexicans will not be al
lowed to cross the border unless hu-
manity compels action.

dispatches confirmed the
repulse of Villa in the first Mata-
moras fighting, with loss of 200

Industrial entity was not built from
the sky downward, but from the earth
upward.
"Many great American irrigation
systems have been built by the fed
eral government and the colonists
have been invited when the system
was completed. But the Imperial Val
ley system has been built by the
colonists themselves and the govern
ment invited.
'From the first we have had the

compelling and constructive factor.
has been the pioneer, who, in the fl
nality, has been forced to finance all
work, and who, for lack of other can
ital, capitalized his Drawn and his
lndomitabe courage into these ca
nails.
"Just as they did of old in Chal-
daea and Egypt, nomadic families
nave settled here, have established the
institutions of civilization and have
grown into an empire.
"lnterwoven with the romance of
the deserts reclamation has been one
of the greatest of the worlds trage-
dies in engineering, and when the
question of our needs our our ability
to solve our problems arises we are
confronted by two great political ac-
cldents which warrant us in turning
to higher power.
"ln an arid country the rivers are
the foundation Of empire, and the
foundation should be indivisible. Here
we have made the egre@ious blunder
of taking as the boundary line be-
tween states the one American river
that carries the greatest potential
riches, thereby not simply dividing
authority, but utterly destroying the
possibility of concerted legal action
in the development of dormant resour-
ces by the people and the land in in
terest, and forcing us to look to the
federal government for action, be-
cause it alone has jurisdiction over
the river.
"And the second accident is that
this great valley has been cleft in
twain by an international line that
does violence to every concept of po-
litical and economic righteousness.
Before us still lies one great task
that of finally and for all time
bringing the Colorado river under sub
lection.
"The State of California has con-
tributed three millions of dollars to
the reclamation service for work in
other states, where that money has
been loaned without interest. This
valley and the adjacent affected ter
ritory have paid to the national gov
ernment more than a million dollars
for land that will be worthless unless
the river is controlled.
"The control of the Colorado river
awaits financial solution and in some
way that financial problem must be
solved. We believe it is not asking too
much that the federal government
shall assist in the task. Whether It
be that the government loan to this
valley sufficient for this work, with
out interest, from the three millions
of credit California has in the recla-
nation fund, or in some other man
ner, we do believe that we are justi-
fled in asking cooperation for per-
manent work, as we have heretofore
had it in temporary work and we are
pleased by the thought that this work
is in that department of the govern
ment over which Secretary Lane pre-
