 Federal officers are at many of the border towns, and they are keeping close watch on all suspected persons particularly Germans whom they be- lieve are in the clique who have been smuggling arms and ammunition to the Mexicans.
 A feeling of terror reigns at numbers of the smaller communities where small squads of U. s. troops are sta- toned, in fear that Villstas in over towering numbers may swoop down on them.

 FL PASO, TEN. May 30.-Villa is contemplating another raid across the border according to advices received here. and judging by the number of districts that are reporting evidences of activity on the part of Villas fol- lowers across the line there is reason to believe that these grave fears are well founded.
 A report that reached here from Douglas Arizona stated that small band of Mexican outlaws had raided number of ranches near there and made good their escape, taking with them several horses.
 The raid was made m the night, and early this morning the detachment that took up their trail found where they had crossed the line and a guard was stationed there to prevent repe- tition of the occurance.
 Farther west near Mexicala it is re- ported that a number of whites are with the Mexicans and it is thought that these are a batch of German ad-

Mevicans in New York agree that It
would be a serious blunder for Mexico
TO heed the German proposal for an
alliance with Japan against the United
States.
Or. +. Carturegli head Of The fnan-
cial agency OF the Mexican govern
ment, not only expressed the opinion
that Mexico would never become in
volved in an alliance with another
power against the United States. but
added that Mexico might become part
Of continental alliance TO repulse at
tack from a European or Asatic power.

nation about the alleged instructions

riously.

is quite natural, however, for the enc

Says Germany Armed
Mexico to Attack "Gringo'

A n-Mexican-J japanese project
for concerted action against the United
States was preached by representatives
of the German government to the au-
thorities of Mexico as long ago as 1912,
when the ill-starred Madero was Pres
dent, according to Emeterio dc la
Cara. author. lecturer and former
member of the Mexican Congress.
German agents thronged into Mexico
with the beginning of the Madero rev
olution and offered arms and financial
support TO the revolutionists in their
efforts TO "drive the Gringo out OF the
country"
students Of Mexican revolutionary
history and the revolutionary leaders
themselves have realized for years that
the hope Of their cause rested upon an
alliance with Germany and Japan. said
Mr. de la Cara yesterday. The TREND
" interest and active support OF Ger
many were sought and secured by Car
rama. and the Teuton influence IN Mex
leo has grown TO dangerous proportions
under his administration.
"Since the beginning Of the Madero

aged Mexico. German officers instruct
ed Madero's troops and the regulation
German goose step was taught TO the

uniforms.
German agents hourished in the
arms supply trade. and German com
mercial institutions in Mexico had
privileges accold ed to no others. II

nations was not more definitely pro

Cermanys Scheme Is Called
Incredible by Japanese in City

Beautifully Characteristic of the
psychology Of Germany" was the
phrase used yesterday by Professor X.
Asakawa. Of Yale. historian. TO de
scribe Berln's attempted intrigue
with Japan through Mexico The
scheme was absurdly futile. he as
serted.
Professor Asakawa said: You viii
notice that Germany did not propose
directly to Japan TO form an alliance
against the United States. Germany
could not do it. for Japan is IN state
of war with her. She therefore asked
Mexico to propose 10 Japan on her
own initiative. Can Germany have
imagined that Japan would seriously
consider a proposal from the unstable
Mexican government 10 throw over
her friends and allies and join her
destiny with CarranZa and Wilhelm?

chology Of Germany. So far as Japan
was concerned. Germany seems to
