PLANNING RAIDS To
INJURE WILSON
STARTLING DISCLOSURES
REGARDING BANDIT
OUTRACES.
SAYS CONSPIRACY
is BEING MATCHED
Funston and Pershing Fore
warned and Ready to
Resist.

Washington. Oct. 2S.-Secretary
Baker announces that the war de-
partment has received definite infor
nation that enemies of the govern
ment's policy toward Mexico, in 90
operation with Villa or other ban.
dts, had arranged for a spectacllAl
attack on American troops IN thC
border to be made before the election
to create sentiment against the ad-
ministration.
Full particulars of the plan, the
secretary said, had been forwarded
to Generals Funston and Pofshine
and all the American forces are in
readiness for the attack.
Mr.. Baker issued this statement
"The war department has received
definite information, confirmed from
other sources, that enemies Of the
administration policy towards Mex
leo, in cooperation with Villa or
other bandits in Mexico, have ar
ranged a spectacular attack to be
made either upon some part of the
American forces or upon some
American community on the border
between now and the date of the
election for the purpose of turning
the tide Of sentiment against the
policy which the administration has
adopted for the protection of the
border.
"It is significant in this connec-
ton that both the state and war de.
partments were advised that the
bandit forces operating at the pres
ent tinae Meyiee asa heing paid in
silver coin.
Full particulars have been trans
mitted to General Funston and Gen
eral Pershing. All American forces
are therefore forewarned and in
readiness for such an attack"
Secretary Lansing authorized the
statement that Secretary Baker had
no intention to intimate that Ameri-
can citizens were involved in the BAN
dit attack plot. The secretary Of
state said it had been called to his
attention that an effort would be
made to construe the war depart
ment's statement as political play
and as an assault upon the admins
tration's political opponents. He de-
nounced such construction as abb
solutely false, declaring that politics
were not given thought in connec-
ton with the matter and that it was
inconceivable that any American
would allay himself with Mexicans
to attack his own countrymen.
