TEXAS GOVERNOR
FOR INVASION
Endorses Wilson Policy Up
to Present, but Wants
Action Now.

Austin, Tex, May Ex-Governor James
r. Ferguson Of Texas tonight issued a
statement In which he declared that
now was the proper time for American
intervention in Mexico, to restore order
In that country, "if It takes ten or
fifty years" The statement says in
part:
"A temporary protection Of the Dor
der will accomplish nothing. II we
catch and punish one bandit another
takes his place tomorrow. II a ruler
Is put in power to-day he is betrayed
tomorrow. Loyalty TO any leader is
lacking and patriotism is unknown.
The ruthless spilling Of American blood
on American soil now gives US justifi-
cation, and il is now our duty to do
whatever is necessary to permanently
prevent a recurrence of further out
RACES against our people.
"As one who has Endorsed and now
Endorses the policy OF the present Ad-
ministration; as one who has measured
his word and is now mindful OF the
position here announced and its con-
sequences, have come reluctantly TO
the conclusion that it is now the
solemn duty Of the United States to
enter Mexico and assume control OF
that unfortunate country and give to
the Mexican people that stability Of
government which they are now un-
able and helpless 10 establish, whether
it takes ten or fifty years 20 do it. To
do less will be 20 shirk our duty 70 our
national honor and our duty 70 the
Mexican people"

State Troops to Mobilize
at San Antonio, Douglas
and Columbus.
SERVICE EXPECTED
TO LAST MONTHS
Funston Goes to San Antonio to
Settle Disposition of Men
Along Border.

San Antonio, Tex. May s.-General
Funston has designated Fort Sam
Houston, at San Antonio, as the mobu-
ization point for the organized militia
OF Texas; Douglas for the Arizona ma
tional guard and Columbus for the New
Mexico militia.
Officers at headquarters estimated
that the mobilization at all three
points should be completed within
week. II was indicated that the troops
might be held in camp for a short time
before being sent to their border sta
tons. The camp at San Antonio Will
be by far the largest. containing APP
proximately $500 men.
The militiamen will be mustered into
the United States service as fast as
they reach mobilization camps. Major
Orrin r. Wolfe will serve as gener
mastering officer for all three states,
with assistants in each state.
Service for Months.
Members OF the state organizations
will be subject to physical eramina-
tions TO establish their fitness for SER
vice.
That the term Of service probably
will be for months rather than weeks
was indicated at headquarters. One
officer said the militia would be re-
auired for patrol duty along the Dor,
der until the Mexican situation had
been settled.
As soon as the mobilization points
were designated orders were issued for
the preparation of camps, assembling
OF quartermaster stores and other nee
essary steps. The camps will be in
readiness by the time the first OF the
militia arrive.
Disposition Of Militia.
General Funston left FL Paso TO-
night and will reach headquarters here
tomorrow night. He will at once
tackle the problem of disposing Of the
militia to the best advantage along the
border. Tentative plans have been
worked out by Major Malvern hiIi
Barnum, chief of staff, and will be sub
mitted to General Funston.
II is believed that General Funston
gave orders governing the disposition
of incoming regular troops before iea'-
ing Fl Paso.
