Laredo, Texns.r--German propagan-
dls,s In northern Mexico and along
the border ar- actively engnged In In
stil,ing fright into Mexicans with
view to preventing their crossing to
the American side and accepting EN-
r,oyment as laborers on farms. rail-
roads, etc. One canard that has been
given considerable publicity by the
propa enndists is that the Americans
are contemplating drafting all Mexi'
can men between the ages OF eighteen
and forty-five lnto the army. while NIL
Mexican women will also be forced In
to service and 'tnkcn to France. where
they will b. used as washerwomen for
the American soldiers and the allies
generally"
These kind Of reports have reached
the American consular service on the
border md they are exerting their ut
most efforts to act the Mexirans right
by assuring them that none but Ameri.
~nn citizens win he subject to the Sc
lsctivs draft while. a. for women.

when they have had time TO formulate
plan that looks feasible and
thoroughgoing. they should say to their

"Here! You put this through along

America for the man who shouts
