Washington, June 16.-There
can be no misunderstanding be-
tween the governments of the
United States and Mexico regard
ing the movement of troops
across the border at Ell Paso, Sec
retary Baker said to-day. The
sole purpose, he said. was protec-

border. and there is a distinct un-
derstanding between the govern
ments for such action.
Mr.. Baker issued this formal
statement:
There is no possibility of
misunderstanding between the re-
public of Mexico and the United
States with regard to the protec-
tion of life on the American side.
In many instances previously it
has been necessary for the
American forces very briefly to
cross the border to disperse
bandit forces. The sole purpose
of the American soldiers is to pro-
tect life on the American side"
