Obviously, If there is no means of
reaching bands rowing on Mexican
territory and making sudden dashes
at night into American territory
it is impossible to prevent such in

ADMIT AMERICANS
WENT WITHOUT NOTICE.

1t is admitted that American
troops have crossed the information
al boundary lin hot pursuit of the
Columbus raiders and without notice
to or the consent of your govern
ment but the several protestations
on the part of this government by
the president, by this department,
and by other American authorities,
that the object of the expedition was
to capture, destroy, or completely
dispense the Villa bands of outlaws
or to turn this duty over to the
Mexican authorities when assured
that ii would be effectively fulfilled,
have been carried out in perfect good
faith by the United States, it's ef-
forts, however have been obstruct-
ed at every point.
Meantime, conditions of anarchy
in the border states of Mexico were
continually growing worse. In view
of the inactivity of the CarranZa
forces, of the lack of cooperation In
the apprehension of the Villa bands.
and of the known encouragement and
aid given to bandits, it is unreason-
able to expect the United States to
withdraw it's force from Mexico and
to prevent their entry again when
their presence is the only check
upon 1urtner DdnulI anu
the only efficient means of pro-
tecting American lives and homes.
Your government intimates, if 1t
does not openly charge, that the at
titude of the United States is one of
insincerity, distrust and suspicion
toward the de facto government of
Mexico and that the intention of the
United States in sending it's troops
into Mexico was intended to violate
the sovereignty of Mexican terri
tory, and not merely for the pur-
pose of pursuing marauders and
preventing future raids across the
border.
The government of the United
States, If it had had designs upon
the territory of Mexico, would have
had no difficulty in finding during
this period of revolution and dis
order many plausible arguments for
Intervention in Mexican affairs.
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
HAD NO DESIGNS ON MEXICO.
In spite of increasing discourage
ments, in spite of repeated provoca-
tions to exercise force in the resto-
ration of order in the northern re-
gions of Mexico. where American
interests have suffered most seri-
ously from lawlessness the govern
ment of the United States has re-

Mexico there would be no reason for
the existing difficulty" thus the de
facto government attempts to alb
solve itself from the first duty of
any government, namely, the pro-
lection of life and property. The
government of the United States
does not wish to believe that the
de facto government approves these
marauding attacks, yet as they con-
tinue to be made. they show that
the Mexican government is unable
to repress them.
In conclusion, the Mexican gov
eminent invites the United States
to support it's assurance of friend
ship with real ana effective acts"
which "can be no other than the i'm
mediate withdrawal of the Ameri-
can troops"
For the reasons I have herein
fully set forth, this request of the
de facto government cannot now be
entertained. The United States has
not sought the duty which has been
forced upon it of pursuing bandits
who, under fundamental principles
of municipal and international law,
ought to be pursued and arrested
and punished by Mexican authori-
ties

REPETITION
SP ATTACKS.

Notwithstanding these represen-
tations and the promise of General
Nafsrrete TO prevent attacks along
the international boundary, in the
following month Of October a pas
senger train was wrecked BY bandits
and several persons killed seven
miles north Of Brownsville. and an
attack was made upon the United
States troops at the same place
several days later
Since these attacks leaders Of the
bandits well known both TO Mexican
civil and military authorities as
well as 20 American officers have
been enjoying with impunity the
liberty of the towns of northern
Mexico. So far has the indifference
of the de facto government TO these
atrocities gone that some of these
leaders. as I am advised. have re-
ceived nOi only the protection of
that government. but encourage

GRAvEsT CONSEQUENCES
IN APPEAL TO ARMS.

Whenever Mexico will assume and
effectively exercise that RESPONSE
bility the United States, as it has
= many times before publicly de-
clared, will be glad to have this
obligation fulfilled by the de facto
government of Mexico.
If, on the contrary, the de facto
government is pleased to ignore
this obligation and to believe that
'in case of a refusal to retire these
troops there is no further recourse
than to defend its territory by an
appeal to arms" the government of
the United States would surely be
lacking in sincerity and friendship
if it did not frankly impress upon
the de facto government that the
execution of this threat will lead
to the gravest consequences.

PROTECTION ONLY
REASON FOR TROOPS.

REASON FOR TROOPS.
1t is protection to American lives
and property about which the Unit
ed States is solicitous and not the
methods or ways in which that pro-
lection shall be accomplished If
the Mexican government is unwill-
ing or unable to give this protection
by preventing it's territory from be-
ing the rendezvous and refuge of
murderers and plunderers, that does
not relieve this government from
it's duty to take.all the steps neces-
sary to safeguard American citi-
zens on American soil. The Unit
ed States government cannot and
will not allow bands of lawless men
to establish themselves upon it's
borders with liberty to invade and
plumber American territory with
impunity and, when pursued, to
seek refuge across the Rio Grande,
relying upon the plea of their gov
eminent that the integrity of the
soil of the Mexican republic must
not be violated.
The Mexican government further
protests that It has made every
effort on its part to protect the
frontier" and that 1t is doing 'all
possible to avoid a recurrence of
such acts
If it is doing "alI possible" this
is not sufficient to prevent border
raids, and there is every reason,
therefore, why this government
must take such preventive measures
as it deems sufficient.
1t is suggested that injuries suf-
fered on account of bandit raids are
a matter of 'pecuniary reparation."
but never the cause for American
forces to invade Mexican SOIL" 1t
has grown to be almost a custom
not to settle depredations of bandits
by payments of money alone, but
to quell such disorders and to pre-
vent such crimes by swift and sure
punishment.

SUBORDINATE OFFICERS
DON'T CONCEAL HATRED.

Candor compelS me to add that
the unconcealed hostility of the sub
ordinate military commanders of the
de facto government toward the
American troops and the efforts of
the de factor government to compel
their withdrawal from Mexican ter
ritory by threats and show of mill
itary force instead of by aiding in
the capture of the outlaws consti-
tute a menace to the safety of the
American troops and to the peace
of the border AS long rs this
menace continues and there is any
evidence of an intention on the part
of the de facto government or its
military commanders to use force
against the American troops instead
of cooperating with them, the gov
eminent of the United States will
not permit munitions of war or ma
chinery for their manufacture to be
exported from this country to Mex
leo.
AS to the shelter and supplies of
