Herrera RepOH Denied
In official Dispatches

General Funston during the night or
carly morning. He said that Funston
had not asked for additional troops
since the Fifth Cavalry and Twenty
fourth Infantry were sent to the border
Secretary Baker would not discuss
what steps the department ie taking to
re-enforce General Pershing's Mexican
expedition.
President Gets Reports.
All the reports on Hcrrera's revolt
were laid before President Wilson and
the Cabinet.
The sending OF more troops to re-en-
force Pershlng. as we'll as the border
patrol. and also the protocol being ar
ranged with Carranza for use OF the
northern Mexican railways Is being con-
sldercd.
The state Department awaited Car
rniza's final approval of the protocol
under negotiation. Tho Cabinet was
asreed upon the plan. Delay In Its for
NAL ratification was reported due 10 two
causes, desire Of this Government to
include all possible circumstances which
may arise from the presence OF Ameri-
can troops in Mexico and desire OF Car
rama for concessions which Will pre-
vent popular criticism.

Is Dream Along Border

derstand. In fact. most OF them are
as ready to Haddlc and 30 10 battle as
they are 10 send others.
notcn down are the merchants
hotelkeepers, business men to whom un-
interrupted traffic spells good living.
They fatten az the men higher up pros
per. Their works have the same interest.
Then, too, they believe open war would
mean the end of the menace which has
lasted since the Alamo. El Paso, with
her 5000 people. is 60 per cent Mexi-
can.
Across the border are 1900 more
Mexicans at JuareZ. with only the
shallow Rio Grande, which General
Funston could wade. Carranza soldiers
sit at the other end of the international
bridge taking toll.
But beyond the appeal OF gold, lead.
and cattle Is another reason. The bor-
der has suffered. American cattle have
been stolen, American mines and
ranches have been plundered. American
women have been attacked and their
babes at breast slain.
Every town, every hamlet along the
border. has the proof in gTavestones or
wrecked lives. The average Texan hates
the Mexican tri-color as the crusader
hated the crescent.
War with Mexico may be a matter OF
politics, business or statesmanship with
the great East aud Central States. but
with the border II Is as deep seated as
human hatred.
Right or wrong. wise or foolish, the
border Is for war. The rest OF the
United States might as we'll consider
that at the start.

WHY NOT NOW?

A press dispatch from Berne, Swift
zerland, says: General Willie, com.
mander-in.chief of the Swiss army, q
soldier of the school of Hindenburg
and Jotfre, today expressed the belief
that the time had come for 1.-The two
most powerful forces in the world"
to combine to put an end to the Euro
pean war. These two forces, he said.
We're the president of the United
States and the Pope. In sug-
gesting peace proposal at this time
from President Wilson and Pope
Benedict, General Willie said: "A
united appeal from these two most
powerful influences seconded as it
would be by other neutrals could not
but be needed by all the warning ma
tions." General Willie said he was
not himself a Catholic, but the
powerful influence exerted by the
pope was recognized in Europe with
out regard to religion. Only the
greatest existing forces could speak
with the emphasis commanding at
tention and General Willie said he
was convinced through President
Wilson and Pope Benedict there was
a good prospect of restoring peace if
they would take strong and united
initiative"
Here is the opinion of the com
manderin.c chief of the Swiss army.
He believes that there is good pros
pect of restoring peace if these two
outstanding figures would unite in an
effort to secure it,
