A PROCLAMATION

San Antonio, June 20.-A proclamation urging all Mexicans in his Jurisdiction to commit no act that may lead to race troubles between Mexicans and Ameri- cans, was issued today by T. R. Beltran, Mexican consul general here. The ap- peal is to be distributed over Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. It recommends that refugee Mexicans maintain serene and unprejudiced department to avoid con- plicating the situation and urges them ito abstain from taking part in heated to retire early to their homes and, above all, avoid the malevolent influence of political agtators whose persuasive words sometimes sway the masses to commit criminal acts"

 ba arously taken and the murderers have neither been apprehended nor brought to Justice It would be difficult to ma In the annals of the history Of Mexico con ditions more deplorable than those which have existed there during these recent years of civil war
 It would be tedious to recount in- stance after instance. outrage after out rage, atrocity after atrocity, to illus trate the true nature and extent or the widespread conditions of lawlessness and violence which have prevailed. During the past nine months in particular the frontier of the United States along the lower Rio Grande has been thrown into a state of constant apprehension and turmoil because of frequent and sudden incursions into American territory ana depredations and murders on American soil by Mexican bandits who have taken the lives and destroyed the property or American citizens, sometimes carrying American citizens across the interna- tional boundary with the booty seized. American garrisons have been attacked by night, American soldiers killed and their equipment and horses stolen; American ranches have been raided, property stolen and destroyed. and Amer ican trains wrecked and plundered. The attacks on Brownsville, Red House Ferry, Progreso postoffice and Las Pela- das, all occurring during September last, are typical
 CARRANZIsTAS PARTICIPATE
 "ln these attacks on American terri tory Carranzista adherents and even Carranzista soldiers took part in the footing, burning and killing. Not only were these murders characterized by ruthless brutality, but uncivilized acts of mutilation were perpetrated. Representa- tions were made to General Carranza, and he was emphatically requested to stop those reprehensble acts in a sec- ton which he has long claimed to be under the complete domination of his authority. Notwithstanding these repre- sentations and the promise of General Nafarette to prevent attacks along the international boundary, in the following month of October a passenger train was wrecked by bandits and several persons killed seven miles north of Brownsville, and an attack was made upon United States troops at the same place several days later. Since these attacks leaders of the bandits well known both to Mex ican civil and military authorities, as well as to American officers, have been enjoying with impunity the liberty of the towns of northern Mexico. So far the indifference of the de facto government to the atrocities has gone, that some of the leaders. as I am advised, have received not only the protection of that government. but encouragement and aid as we'll
 "Depredations upon American persons and property within Mexican jurisdiction have been still more numerous. This government has repeatedly requested in the strongest terms that the de facto government safeguard the lives and homes of American citizens and furnish the protection which international obli- gation imposes to American interests in

A SEPARATE DIVISION

Washington, June 20.-A committee of the Military Training Camps association told President Wilson today that the citizen soldiers at the Plattsburg camp would organize a separate division for Mexican service if there was a call for volunteers They urged an immediate ap propriation for training camps, declaring thousands had been prevented from talk ing camp training because no appropria- ton was available for expenses. The President promised to give the request careful consideration.

PRECAUTIONS TAKEN

Del Rio, Tex, June 20.--Although noth- ing reliable had been learned here to- day concerning the reported movement of Mexican troops toward this city, the uneasiness apparent at Las Vegar, the Mexican town opposite here, has caused officers to believe that the attack was actually imminent. Precautions have been taken accordingly. Major Jarvis with three companies of the Third in fantry arrived here today from Eagle Pass.

CHARGES U. S. INsINCERE


 Your government intimates. if it does not openly charge. that the atti- tude of the United States is one of in sincerity, and distrust, and suspicion toward the de facto government of Mexico and that the intention of tue United States in sending it's troops in- to Mexico is to extend its sovereignty ever Mexican territory and not mercy for the purpose of pursuing marauders and preventing future raids across tne border. . The government of the United States, if it had any designs up- on the territory of Mexico. would have had no difficulty in finding during this period of revolution and disorder many plausible arguments for intervention ln
 'In spite of increasing discourage ments; in spite of repeated provocations to exercise force in the restoration of order in the northern regions of Mex leo, where American interests have suffered most seriously from lawless- ness, the government of the United States has refrained from aggressive action and sought by appeals and mod ern though explicit demands to impreas upon the de facto government the se- riousness of the situation and to arouse it to it's duty to perform it's interna- tional obligations towards citizens of the United States who had entered the territory or Mex1co, or who had vested interests within its boundaries.
 Gan that government doubt that months ago when the war between the revolutionary factions was in progress. a much better opportunity than the present was afforded for American in- tervention if such has been the pur : pose of the United States as the ds facto government now insinuates?
 CARBON OF TROOPS NECESSARY
 T have. of course. given considera- ton to your argument that the respon- sibility for the present situation rests largely upon this government. In the first place you state that even the American forces along the border whose

MANY SEEKING COMMISSIONS

One of the features of today's develop ments was the fact that hundreds of applications were made for commissions. Similar requests were made yesterday young men and old men seeking appoint ments of rank in the National Guard However, none of the applications were granted. Many officers were reinsta ted, but no new men were commissioned.
 Among those seeking commissions have been men prominent in every walk oi live. Lawyers known throughout the state, prominent public men, bankers and business men have been among those asking for commissions.
 The large demand for commissions is believed to be due largely to the fact that the National Guard organizA- tions of the several states probably will be federalized on July 1, under the n ew National Guard bill, approved June ?, 1916. Under the provisions of this fed eral act. the National Guard organize. tions hereafter will be known as the National Guard of the United States, upon the taking of the federal oath of enlistment.
 Section 70 of this act. making further and more effectua1 provisions for the national defense, and fos other pur- poses, reads as follows:

attention is undivided by other mili-


 tary operations, find themselves phys ically unable to protect effectively the frontier on the American side. Obvi- ously, if there is no means of reaching bands rowing on Mexican territory and making sudden dashes at night into American territory. 1t is impossible to prevent such invasions unless the from tier is protected by cordon of troops. . The most effective method of preventing raids of this nature, as past experience has fully demonstrated, is to visit punishment or destruction on the raiders. It is protection to American lives and property. about which the United States is solicitous, and not the methods or ways in which protection should be accomplised.
 If the Mexican government is unwill- ing or unable to give this protection by preventing it's territory from being the rendezvous and refuge of murderers and plunderers that does not relieve this government from its duty to take all the steps necessary to safeguard Ameri- can citizens on American soil. The United States government cannot and will not allow bands of lawless men to establish themselves upon it's borders with liberty to invade and plunder American territory with impunity, and when pursued to seek safety across the Rio Grande, relying upon the plea of their government that the integrity of the soil of the Mexican republic must not be violated.
 ''The Mexican government further pro- tests that it has made every effort on it's part to protect the frontier, and and that it is doing all possible to avoid a recurrence of such acts
 "* If it is doing all possible this is rot sufficient to prevent border raids and there is every reason, therefore. why this government must take such preventive measures as it deems suf- ficient
 Tt is suggested that injuries suffered on account of bandit raids are a mat ter of 'pecuniary reparation.' but never the cause for American forces to in- wade Mexican soil
 GOVERNMENTS FIRST DUTY "* It has grown to be almost a custom not to settle depredations of bandits by payment of money alone, but to quell such disorders, and to prevent such crimes by swift and sure punish- ment. The de facto government finally argues that If the frontier were duly protected from incursions from Mexico there would be no reason for the exist ing difficulty Thus the de facto gov
 ernment attempts to absolve itself from

in excess of the minimum prescribed by

mander, alone having had about 30 re- cruits since Sunday night. The three in-
 fsntry companies here each have had nearly an equal number of recruits. GEN. BRICKEN IN MONTGOMERY
 General Charles R. Bricken of Luverne, brigadief-general Alabama National Guard, is here prepared to take command Of the troops as soon as they go into camp at Vandiver park General Bricken ing, but returned to Luverne last night. de was back in the Capital City early this morning prepared to enter actively upon his duties as commander of the Ala bama brigade.
 The troops probably will not go into camp before Friday or Saturday, it was learned today. While practically every company in Alabama has recruited up to its minimum strength the details of mobilization have not yet been completed, although the troops are now in readiness to go into encampment at a moments notice.
 No additional news has been heard from Washington since Sunday night, accord ing to the military department, and It is not expected that there will be any new developments for several days. But new developments are anxiously awaited. Every member of the guard is enthusias- tic over the prospects of entering the countrys service and every member of the guard, from the enlisted men to the highest officers are eagerly awaiting marching orders
