be ignored, but it was admitted that
Carranza had the power TO end the
treaty at any time and that the pro-
vision was not unusual in international
law Any new Mexican policy, il was
asserted, would only apply to future
concessions and investments in Mex
leo, and would not apply at all to the
claims already filed for settlement
when peace is restored.
War Department officials were much
relieved by General Funston's report
on the border raid near Fort Hancock
last night. There was no military sig
nificance in il, it was declared, the in
cident being merely cattle rustling,
such as has been common on the Dor
der for fifty years or more and which
il has been almost impossible to stamp

The fact that Mexican troops CO.
operated in the chase of the bandits
and captured three of them is taken as
evidence of increasing good will be-
tween Carranza's forces and the Amer

officials asserted that the First Chief
was eager to encourage foreign conf
dence in Mexican security and was
doing everything in his power to cause
the opening of mines and industries
controlled by Americans. The State
Department, however, when approached
by prospective investors in Mexico, has
never given its assurance that condi-
tions across the border were safe.
Unofficial word has been received. it
was admitted to-day, that Carranza
has declared that foreigners are no
longer to have privileged positions in
Mexico, but must be subject to the
same laws as Mexican citizens. This
is contrary TO the treaty Of lS4S, which
makes the Mexican government re-
sponsible for damage to foreign prop

MEN WILL ENLIST
Petition for Organization To Be
Forwarded to Governor In
Next Few Days.

The organization of new 22d In
fantry, National Guard of New York, is
urged in n petition now being formu-
lated for consideration by Governor
Whitman by the Defendant Association
to which about 5000 veterans Of the
old 22d Regiment belong. The reor-
ganization of the 22d Engineers, now
at the border, as regiment Of six
companies, to be known as the LIST
Engineers, threatens the loss of the old
numerals, and the veterans want the
name of their regiment retained.
Colonel George f. Potter, chairman
of the committee having the petition in
charge, said yesterday interest in the
movement was so great that he hoped
to be able to forward the request to the
Governor in a few days.
To Wage Vigorous Campaign.
Colonel J. r. Silliman, president of
the Defendant Association; General
George w. Wingate and Henry Clews
are also interested in the movement.
1t was the bitter fight put up by the
veterans of the regiment which resulted
in the retaining # the numerals "22'
when the old regiment was disbanded,
about two years ago, and an equally
vigorous campaign is TO be waged now.
In asking for the authority to form
the new regiment the association says
out Of the thousands of veterans of the
god many men within the age limit,
enough to exceed the number required
for home service, will quickly enlist.
Can Furnish Experienced Men.
Declaring that it would be an act OF
justice to permit the large majority If
members Of the 22d who were dis
charged or retired at the time of dis
banding again to serve the nation, the
petition continues:
"Thc organization of the 22d Regi-
ment Of Infantry would best serve the
interests of the state and country, as 1t
would provide a regiment largely com
posed Of experienced, efficient and well
drilled men.
at is further respectfully submitted
that the only way the famous esprit d.
corps, so significant Of the 22d Regi-
ment, can be maintained and made
available is through the organization
from the veterans of the 22d of regi-
ment. Competent, experienced officers
now on the reserve list and ex-oficers
can be furnished"

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 1.-General

Gus National Guard camps Of news

false accounts of conditions in the
camps. He referred to such men AS

as long as he purposed to.
An order has been sent to all district
commanders along the border covering
sending out dispatches which may be
cassed as untruthful. In each instance
the offender will be tried by a special
court of militia officers from his state.
If found guilty he will be ordered from
camp.
