J. s. PROBES REPORT
 OF PLANS ID FOIL
 ARMY REGISTRATION

FL PASO, May 26.-Circulars have been received here from Philadelphia and other eastern cities urging the re- cipients to resist conscription and ad- vising them to stay away from the registration places on June 5. These circulars have been turned over to the department of justice agents, who are investigating.
 Mexican Consul Bravo today denied that German agents were responsible for the emigration of large numbers of Mexican laborers from the United States to Mexico. He said improved political and labor conditions were re- sponsible for the present exodus. It was reported here ignorant Mexican laborers were being told by Germans that they were to be impressed into the United States army on June 5. This was being done, according to the report, to cripple mining, agricultural and railroad operations employing Mexican labor.
