American Cavalry
May Cross Border

Hachita, N. NJ, Feb. 14.-Ameri-
can cavalry troops may cross the in
ternational line today in an effort to
rescue the three American Mormon
cowboys, A. P. Peterson, Hugh Accord

to be commander in Jose Ynez Sal
azar's Villa force.
Lieutenant Colonel ]. C. Water
mann, commanding squadron of the
Twelfth United States cavalry, has
dispatched two troops of cavalry to
the border from Hachita to search for
the Americans. Asked if he would
follow "a hot trair' across the bor-
der, Lieutenant Waterman said he
would await developments before
acting"
However, it was believed here to-
day that in the event it becomes
known that the Mexicans held the
three Americans prisoners, cavalry
troops would cross the border in an
effort to rescue them.
Eugene Romney, a relative of one
of the missing Mormon cowboys, said
today the Mexican raiders crossed the
border into the United States Mon
day afternoon soon after A Troop of
the Twelfth cavalry had passed on
patrol duty. The raiders rode to the
corner ranch, ordered all Mexicans
employed there to join their baand,
took cattle and horses and then went
in search of the Mormon cowboys
who were out on the ranch.
Romney said he obtained his infor-
nation of the raid from Lem Spills
bury, a Mormon scout, who was with
Pershing in Mexico and who has a
ranch near the corner ranch.

the group of newspaper men, photog-
raphers and moving picture operat-
ors who were permitted to pass the

platform of their car.
The route from the train to the
pier lay between lines of policemen
and detectives and force of $50 in
spectors from the neutral squad OF

the ship, Collector Malone and his
guard lined up behind wooden fence
at the street end of the pier and pre-
vented persons other than passengers
from passing.
To the untoward incidents which
occurred as the ambassador stepped
from the automobile to the pier the
police attach little Importance.
A young man tried to approach the
party and was seized, by detectives
who hurried him to police headquar'
ters. He said he, was Alfred Hop
kins, 19 years old, of New York City
and had been given letter by a man
in that city who instructed him tc
hand it to the ambassador.
The letter was signed Frederick
Hohenzollern," who claimed " be "a
cousin of Prince Frederick Wilhelm.
The writer sought an interview with
the ambassador and asked the latter
''to call upon him to shoulder gun
in the service"

departure of the ship had been de.
ferred two hours or until 4 o'clock
No explanation was offered. The
Frederick VIII encountered eleventh

Count Won Bernstorff does not
believe that ships conveys would
be subject to attack, altho he feels a
great element of danger is attached
to such a procedure. He feels that
many Americans have not always
been strictly neutral. He has told
his friends, however, that he believ-
ed the sentiment in the U. S. was in
huenced by commercial conditions
brought about by the war.
You have shipped your goods to
the allies because they had COM
mand of the SEAS" he said. III the
conditions had been reversed and
the German navy instead of British,
had that command you would have
shipped your goods to US. Naturally
any persons sympathy is where he
does business. You can't blame him
for that.
LET us consider humanity and in
ternational law. There has been q
cry against Germany on the ground
that we have violated the righta OF
the former and principle Of the lat
ter but it is poor rule that does not
work both ways.
