BORDER COMMANDERS
PLAN COOPERATION
U. S. and Mexican Officers Con-
fer-Americans Invited
Into Sonora

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 11.--without
formal agreement, 1t appeared probable to-
day that the plan of Joint guarding of
the border country proposed by Generals
Funston and Scott during their conferences
at FL Paso might be worked out by OFF,
GERS commanding troops on opposite sides
of the international line.
General Bell at El Paso already has
discussed with General Gonzales plan of
cooperative work, and Captain A. " An
derson, commanding the American troops
at Preside, talked with Colonel Rojas,
commandant of the Mexican garrison at
Ojknaga, opposite Preside, of the best
means of preventing raids.
1t was indicated at General Funston's
headquarters that similar efforts would
be made by all American officers whose
commands face Mexican troops, and It
was regarded here as possible that these
informal conferences would have the ef-
feet of bringing about the joint action
proposed by the Mexican Minister Of War
DOUGLAS, Arlz., July lin a state
ment issued today, General p Elias Gales,
military commander of Sonora, said:
"Advices 1 received today from Mexico
City were so satisfactory and made me feel
so sure there can be no break between
Mexico and the United States that 1 have
ordered the demobilization of my troops
now in the border districts, and their dis
charge from the national service, and or
dered the reopening of arr public offices
along the border
'I have also extended an invitation to
foreigners to return to Sonora and will pro-
tect them and their property.
"All of the volunteers who took up arms
for their country have been ordered 10
their homes TO plant their fields and aid the
Government in bringing about return of
normal conditions.
THE railroads of Sonora will reopen for
public traffic Immediately. have or
dered the bulk Of my troops to proceed TO
the Yaqu! River Valley TO take up the
Indian campaign once more in order that
life and property OF Mexlcans and for

Each of my subordinate commanders

soldier or civilian, who does not extend
every courtesy 10 foreigners"
General Gales sent the same message
to General T. r. Davis, commander of the
Arizona district.
The managers Of several Of the large
mining properties in Sonora held confer
ences with General Gales today by his
request and personally received the invi-
tation Of the Mexican Government to re-
turn to work with their foreign employees.
