TEXANS AROUSED
BY GERMAN PLOTS
WITH MEXICANS

Washington, April Interest cen
ters in the Mexican situation following
recent revelations of German intrigue
with the OUTLAW chiefs across the Dor.
der.
Resentment among Texans in Wash
ington, and especially those in con.
gress, was keenly aroused by the pro.
posal of the German government to
revive hopes Of Mexicans that by an
alliance with Germany they would be
able to regain the lost provinces" Of
Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, par
ticularly the last. This is included
in the plan Of San Diego" which
proposes to restore to Mexico all ter
ritory between the Rio Grande and
the Nueces. The zimmerman Incl
dent served to make more positive
the opinion of Texans that the general
situation forced by Germany ought to
be vigorously dealt with.
The incident was made the basis of
a speech during the war resolution de.
bate by Representative Blanton of
Texas, in support of the presidents
position. The district now represented
by Mr.. Blanton embraces about four
hundred miles of Mexican border. He
reviewed the arguments of opponents
that the proyocation for Americas
step was confined to the barred zone
OFF the British and French coasts, but
that he realized that the provOcation
existed nearer home.
The exodus Of reservists to Mexico:
the withdrawal Of gold by Germans
from III Paso banks; the revelations
made by Mr.. Miller of Minnesota con.
cerning the hopes for attack upon
Texas soil, all tended to confirm Mr..
Blanton said, the proposals of the
Zimmerman note. After reviewing
the border disturbances and raids
upon Texas soil, Mr.. Blanton ventured
that If they occurred in time of peace.
what could the country expect with
diplomatic relations between the Unit.
ed States and Germany severed
"The people OF my state h2ve had TO
stand the brunt of this situation thus
far" said Mr. Blanton. "They have
been assaulted and murdered, and 1t is
\ reasonable conjecture that the activi.
ties of the German government might
have been responsible In retaliation for
the governments position. The ten.
per of Texans is not too good over
the Zimmerman communication, and
It is time the people residing along
the border may be permitted to con.
tinue that residence without further
fears"

AMERICAN RED CROSS
 ISSUE FIRST NEWSPAPER.
(By Associated Press)

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Sept. 25-So far as known, it has remained for the sixty-third ambulance section of the American Red Cross to be the first to distinguish itself by issuing genuine, regular newspaper. The paper has considerably less than a million a day circulation. but it is a God-send to the members of the 'Soix- ante Trois," which it calls itself.
 The first issue of "Soixante Trois" is strictly handmade and is produced by a manifolding process. Nearly all the section comprises the editorial staff, and about ninety per cent of this staff has deyeoted itself to humorous efforts.
 "The Own Lee" Laundry Company is the most liberal advertiser with a lurid page, invoking everyone to fall in line and follow the example of the cook who washed his face in the dishpan.
 Then there is a tonsorial parlor that invites the readers to "come in and enjoy the show" = which the adver- tisement continues, includes micro scopic animals contributed by our pat. rons."
 There is a git of poetry or two" also a couple of rough sketches, and four pages of reading matter, including Personalities, and Diary of Our Own Samuel Pepys." News as it is ordinarily conceived is conspicuous by it's absence. but the Soixante Trois s ehock full of fun, which is perhaps ust as welcome as news to the mem.i Ders of the section.
