The concentration OF Germans south OF
the Rio Grande and q general exodus Of
subjects and former subjects Of Kaiser
Wilhelm from the United States toward
Mexico Is being critically scrutinized by
the United States government.
There is considerable apprehension in
administration circles that the purpose Of
this exodus Is not alone the seeking Of
asylum and the avoidance of internment
in the United States. but a concrete mill
tary movement with a possible attack
from the south on the border States In
the event of hostilities with Germany
The Bureau OF the Census has reported
to the Department of Justice that there
are 100000 German subjects in the
United States and that the naturalized
Germans here number 100000. The
menace of an inimIcal attitude toward the
United States government II permitted

is being given serious study by the ad-

steps to minimize the danger from below
