the national guard army officials said,
they would be used merely for service
On this side OF the border, while the
regulars are dispatched into Mexico.
Most of the mobile army in the Unit
ed States Is already in or near Mexico.
In addition, the government has the
coast artillery, the army in the Phil
fppines and Alaska and several thous-
and marines of the navy to call upon
in a real emergency.
The protocol between the state de-
partment and Carranza for use OF
Mexican railways as supply routes
was practically arranged today. 1t
awaited only the approval OF General
Carranza.
Whether the protocol will be OF real
service in sending supplies to General
Pershing was rendered dubious today
by the reported attitude of the Car
ranzistas at Juarez. If General Gavira
should revolt against Carranza or re-
fuse to recognize the protocol, it
would be practically a nultity.
Secretary Baker declared he had not
a word of confirmation of the reported
Herrera detection. No messages had
come to his desk from the front. Fun
ston's report was transmitted as re-

Ell Paso Fears Raid by Native Mexicans or an
Attack From Juarez, Just Across
theeline.

ION the verge Of revolt resulted in
strong guard being thrown along the
border. Mayor Presto, of Juarez, and
Commandant Gavira were understood
to have severed relations following
wordy quarrel over the presence or
American troops on Mexican soil. A
combined attack on Ell Paso from the
Juarez garrison and by the large
local Mexican colony has long been
the city's bugaboo.
Reports of General Herrera's defec-
tion we're circumstantial. With his
1000 well armed and mounted follow
ers, he was said to be marching south
ward. Until few days ago he was in
command at Chihuahua City but when
deposed by General Carranza for
drunkenness, it was reported Herrera
took his personnel with him. No dis
orders or fighting In the vicinity OF
Chihuahua City have been reported. A
small garrison remained in the city.
General credence was given the re-
rorts that practically the entire 5000
former Villistas have renounced Car
rama and were on their way to Join
the outlaw in southern Chihuahua.
With these seasoned fighters Villa was
expected to make stand against the
American forces pursuing him. During
his retreat southwark he Informed
Mexicans he was saving his bullets for
the "gringoes."
He is reported to have sent re-
cruiting officers throughout southern
chihuahua spreading the false report
of 300 Mexicans cremated in FL Paso.
Hundreds answered the appeal, 1t IS
believed. Villa has armed his troops
with guns and ammunition he had
cached in his mountain hiding places.

ended in Cano, the commander Of the

Louis. New York and Chicago boys
should march to death to clear their
title and they don't understand. In
fact most Of them are as ready to
saddle and go to battle as they are to
send others.
A notch down are the merchants,
hotel keepers, business to whom un-
interrupted traffic spells good living.
They fatten as the men higher up
prosper. 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. FL
Paso, with her $1,000 people. has a
large per cent Of Mexican. Across the
border are $1,000 more Mexicans at
Juarez with only the shallow waters
OF the Rio Grande which General
Funston could wade.
Carranza soldiers sit at the other
end of the international bridge taking
toll. But beyond all. the appeal of
gold. land and cattle is another reason.
The border has suffered: American
cattle have been stolen, American
mines and ranches have been plumber
ed: American women have been raw
ished and their babes at breast slain.
Every town, every hamlet along the
border has the proof in gravestones
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 poll
tics, business, craftsmanship with the
great east and central states, but with
the border 1t 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 well consider
that at the start
