HOSTILE DEMONSTRATIONS
CONTINUE ALONG BORDER

Washington, June 12.-Anti-Ameri-
a demonstrations in northern Mex
leo continue, according to official adj
vices today, particularly in the states
of Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi and
Nuevo Leon, and, although the mani
festations thu far have been confined
mostly to speechmaking, consular
agents have reported that the temper
of the people appears such that any
e~ventualities might be possible.
Americans are leaving for the border
in steadily increasing numbers. Under
previous instructions, state department
agents in Mexico are giving every pos
sible aid. In addition, border agents
have been instructed to urge those
seeking to return to Mexico to stay on
the American side OF the border for the
present.
Army officials have no fear for the
safety Of the American expedition. 1t
is so closely concentrated as to be fulIv
able to defend itself in any emergency
and also to lend protection to a wide
stretch of the border. No new troop
dispositions We're in progress, Secretary
Baker said, and General Funston's re-
ports have been of a routine character
for several days past.
The spread of the anti-American agi-
tation may delay the sending of a re-
ply to General Carranza's note demand
ing recall of the American troops. Crea-
ton of an international commission to
discuss all difficulties is known to have
been suggested under existing treaties.
and it is understood that the proposal
still is before President Wilson.

New York. June 12.-Higher prices

OFFICIALS FEAR
MEXICAN RIOTS
Washington Receives Word
That Demonstrations Pre-
Seen Along Border
Need Trucks.

Washington. D. c.. June 12.-Admin-
istration officials were uneasy today
over continued reports of ~anti-Ameri-
can demonstrations in northern Mex
leo. Americans fearing serious riots
are making their way to the border in
great numbers and those seeking to
return to Mexico are advised against
such action by border agents, acting
under orders.
Most demonstrations have gone no
further than mass meetings and
speeches by ag%itators, who resent the
presence Of American troops on Next
can soil. Carranza troops nave sought
usually to dispense such gatherings.
Officials fear public opinion may flare
into open rioting directed against
American citizens although no fear Is
felt for the safety of General Pershing's
forces.
In the states of Chihuahua, San Luis
Potosi and Nuevo Leon, anti-American
demonstrations have been particularly
numerous and attacks on American
property were reported from Chihua-
hua and Monterey where there are no
consular agents.
