MEN WAITING

Ell PASO, June .l9-Five thous-
and American troops are at Doug
las awaiting eventualities. The
most active preparations are going
on both sides of the border, for
possible hostilities. On the Amer
ican side there are extra .precau-
ttions to prevent the smuggling of
ammunition across the border.
The possibilities that Mexico's
best equipped armies, which are
composed Of men who have been
at war now for several years, might
attempt a much more serious irfva-
sion of American territory than
Villas raid on Columbus, are dis
cussed with good deal of excite
Tnent atlmany' border points. Gen
.eral Funston's forces are watching
! the lengthy border more4 carefully
than ever before. =, /
In view Of the ,smallness of his
forces, considering the length Of
the border and the strength of the
army that might attack should Car
rama make an aggressive move, the
news that President Wilson had
called out the national militia, with
"a view to reinforcing Funston, was
received here with great enthus-
iasm. >
1t is reported that Mexican civil
ians near the border are arming
and training with a view to aiding
the military, claiming fear of an
American inVasion. : Federal and
state officials, Of Sonora are leaving
for Herniosillo, southwards, and
taking with them the government
funds and records, ..
A report from Colonia, near the
City of Mexico, says that the Car,
ranzistas there are arming civilians
for war with the United States.

Lo,oer California
May Be Neutral
If War Comes

SAN DIEGO, June 1o-That
the territory of Lower California
may be deserving Mexico is indicat-
ed by news received here from that
region. The governor of the ter
rltory is reported as declaring that
It will remain neutral, in the ap-
parently inevitable war between
Mexico and the United States.
1t is thought here that in the
event of the war taking place and
Lower California assuming this at
tltude, she will pass forever out of
the control of Mexico.
Lower California is a long strip
of land, reaching far to the south
of the state of California, and sep
arated from Mexico except for a
very small border line at the north,
by the Gulf of California. Its
most important and best known
port is Magdelena bay, which has
been much discussed as an impof-
'tant strategic point, and was at one
time talked of as being coveted by
Japan.

" President Wilson yester-
day called out the national
guardsmen of all the States for
immediate active duty on the
Mexican border, and to relieve
regulars on home duty who may
be needed for service in Mexico.
While in taking this step the
President carefully reafirms his
former statements of no inten-

cept to protect Americans and
chase bandits, the Mexican de
facto government has taken war
like steps, and conditions of war

cut all telegraph lines between that

The seizure of the railway prop

meant that hostilities had broken
out. However, as no news came
from Washington of any declara-
ton of war, it is supposed that
there is still some chance of peace.

WAR WITH MEXICO <.
WONBY AMERICANS
Seventy Years Ago United States
Was Called Upon To Humble
GreaSer Government

Seventy years ago the United States
and Mexico fought their first war, a
conflict which has been .oversh allowed
in great degree by the Civil war; 1t
| ended in the defeat of Mexico and
| the cessOn to the United States of
New Mexico and Upper California, ac,
cording to the Mexican division, but
this territory included the presen ut
states of California, Nevada and Utah
most of New Mexico and Arizona and
portions of Colorado and Wyoming.
Recognition by the United States OF
the independence of Texas in 1887 and
its annexation in lS45 were primary
causes of the war. Moreover, the
United States assumed the claim of
Texas to territory lying between the
Nueces and the Rio Grande. Mexico
naturally disputed this claim on the
part of Texas and the United States
and, it should be added, the indepen-
dence Of Texas never had been recog-
nized by Mexico, and recOnquest was
planned
War Spirit Not General
The United States certainly was not
a unit in the declaration of war or in
its prosecution. That the slave states
wished to secure more slave territory
was the cry of the Wings.
Gen. Zachary Taylor was ordered in
July, lS45, to move into the disputed
territory between the Nueces and the
Rio Grande, and he entered it with
5000 men, establishing his forces at
Corpus Christi, south " 'Nueees bay.
John Slidell was despatched by Presi-
dent Polk to Mexico in November of
MexieO's' claims to Texas, and prob
ably also to try to purchase California;
but he was not received, and returned
to the States in March, 1916.
General Taylor in the meantime had
been ordered to advance, and he de
parted from Corpus Christi March l2
1916. He reached the shores of the
Rio Grande, opposite Matamaros, Mex
leo, March %. Mexico regarded the
advance as an invasion of her territory
and therefore as an net of war.
War Formally Declared
A small reconnoiteTihg force of Am
orleans was attacked and overwhelmed
by larger force of Mexieans north
of the Rio Grande April %,
News Of this disaster, received in
caused President Polk to
send to congress his war message of
May u, 1916 advising it Of the Gin
vasion" of American soil by Mexican
forces.
May -, 1916, Congress declared that
a state of war existed.

TO remain indoors for a day or two as

administration by showing of sympathy
with Russian prisoners working in the

sympathy had led to donations of food
supplies additional to the rations al
