.'Mr. CARA. Mexican consul, has
been informed of the incident and
advised that Maj. Anderson has sent
an officer to Progreso to arrest the
three officers concerned. He has
gone to Matamoras to inform the

ask that immediate search be made

side were not in uniform
The American soldiers, il was
pointed out, had no business on Mex
ican soil and the Mexican officers
were acting within their rights il
they placed them under arrest. 1t
is recalled that similar incident
has occurred before. On one occas-
ion more than a dozen American sol
diers who strayed across the border
near Ell Paso were arrested by Car
rama officials at JuareZ, but they
were subsequently released when 1t
was ascertained that the crossing
was accidental.
III Mexican civilians and not
Carranza soldiers took the two Amer

will probably ask the Carranza COM

of their safety. Carranza troops
will be held responsible for their
safety. II reports that the Americans
crossed into Mexico prove true IL Is
expected that the Carranza COM
mander will protest to General Funs-
ton and an exchange of apologies
will close the incident.

NEW YORK, Jan. President

added that it was not a case of
knock down and drag out, but
case of putting forth the best rea-
sons why our own ideas should sur

In pronouncing his new doctrine
as to peace and belligerency the pres
ident obviously attempted to elimi
nate further discussion of the too

resulted in great criticism. both in
this country and in Europe.

wish that the best argument and
right purpose prevail. Peace has for
its foundation justice without ag
Igression."
He declared that this would con-
tinue to be his attitude toward for
eign nations and toward our unfor-
tunate neighbor TO the south"
In pronouncing the new doctrine
intended to dispose of the idea that
he was too proud to fight. the pres
ident said: "Virells has said some
where: the child beats its nurse

Cruel and thanks God nobody beats
him.
