Five Thousand Across Border
From U. s. Troops.
Serious Clashes Expected With
Federals Along Line.

Ell Paso, Texas April 23.-With five
thousand Mexican troops entrenched
along the border opposite the Texas
Big Bend district, and a smaller force
opposite Fabens. Texas, east of here,
tension in the border country was ex-
pected today to result soon in serious
clashes between Mexican federals and
United States troops.
American military authorities were
reported amply prepared to cope with
the situation.
Enticc q. S. Cavalry.
The underlying cause of recent
border raids into American territory
as observers here saw it, has been to
ertice American cavalry border patrols
into following raiders across to the
Mexican side, where it is believed the
recent threats of the Mexican authori-
ties to resist invasion" by Americans
will be carried out.
This was believed here to explain
the raid Sunday on the White ranch
and other recent forays into American
territory.
Arrivals from Chihuahua City de-
clared hand bills, showing a cartoon
of Uncle Sam kicking a Mexican peon
have been widely circulated in the
northern border states, and an appeal
for Mexicans to resist is appended
They also reported various other anti
American propaganda, believed the

HOW is YOUR BABY?

In a recently completed survey,
tho death rate of infants in one
section of an American city was
I'll to the 1000, while in another
il was only fifty-yet that city
owes the same duty to one baby
as another.
Tho average deaths in one city
are 1874. In another they are
only eighty-four.
A single ward in a certain city
has been able to reduce it's infant
mortality to thirty-nine deaths to
the thousand birth. Most of the
conditions responsible for this low
death rate could be reproduced in
other wards if the parents took

Great Britain is under consideration
by the treasury. This would tend to
lessen Great Britain's obligations to
the United States and decrease the de-
mands of other allies on her. Before
completing the plan Secretary McAdoo
will consult with Oscar T. Crosby, the
treasury's representative on the inter-
distribution of loans and other econo-
mic dealings between the allies. Mr..
Crosby has just been called home for
conference.

The principal difficulty in arrang

accounting and in determining what
share of purchases are ultimately in

allied purchasing commission is max

chasing system built up before the

Aggressive Campaign Soon?
Some naval officials recently pre-
dicted that real aggressive action
against Ostend and zeebrugge. per-
tempted before July /. Today's raid
taken in connection with the recent
taking of German trawlers in the
Cattegat, indicated to authorities that
the allies are stirring themselves on
the seas to forestall a German naval
offensive and to aid, in a measure,
the land operations.
Shore Batteries Heavy.
The allied plan of campaign in
which the American naval forces were
given an important part, is under
stood to have contemplated both Of
fensive and defensive activity. While
submarine chasers, destroyers and
fast cruisers endeavored to locate and
annihilate the U-boats which put to
sea, other means were to be taken to
prevent the egress of submarines from
their bases. No details have been
published of the plan to bottle up the
submarines in their bases. Counter
mining and extensive systems OF nets
have been discussed and it is known
to have been employed largely. The
proposal that strong force of naval
ships be sent to watch each harbor
mouth to prevent the exit of sweepers
and of fast auxiliaries acting as con-
vows for the. submersibles also have
been discussed.
The measure of courage necessary
for this operation is evident from the
fact that the shore batteries in these
Belgian ports are known to be among
the most powerful in the world and
the ships to have accomplished the
desired blockade, must have been sunk

Only Auxiliary Vessels.
The British forces. the admiralty
said, consisted only of Auxiliary YES

fleet, in addition to the covering
ships These latters, however, may
have been armored or battle cruisers,
with heavy armament, as they per-
formed the same role as the artillery
in an infantry advance. Lying well
off-shore, they undoubtedly laid down
a "barrage'' with their big guns while
the lighter craft crept under the very
noses of the harbor defenses to insure
the success of the blockading process.
Geddes has thus figuratively struck
Won Capelle twice in the face with his
glove within little more than a week,
without drawing a response.
All indications point toward DELHI
crate attempt by the British navy to
goad the Germans into a sea fight of
more or less major proportions in
which the enemy high seas fleet would
be opposed by combined British and
American squadron
The peculiar formation of the Bel
gian coast has acted as an unsur-
mountable obstacle to any major al
lied naval offensive on the submarine
bases. The gradually shelving beach
prevents the approach of any but the
lightest draft vessels.
