Agents of Kaiser
Are Blamed For
Border Troubles

Concentration of Mexican Federal
forces along the border, but especial
ly in the Jjinaga, Jaurez section, is
believed BY officials to be the result
of agitation by German agents in
Mexico. However War Department
advices do not indicate that immedi-
ate trouble may be feared.
There has been more or less border
sniping for several months all along
the border, and there have been sew
eral outbreaks in the Tampieo oil dis
trict, but they have not been of any
organized character, officials say.
They have been due chiefly to the dis
turbed economic situation confront
ing Mexico, and the failure Of Presi-
dent Carranza to reach an agreement
with the United States which would
allow the lifting Of the embargo on
goods from this country into Mexico.
