Most of the opposition came from those who desired severe terms ln posed on the enemy The chamber of deputies also rat

BIG FORCE ON BORDER
U. S. TROOPS PREPARED TO STOP
MEXICAN RAIDERS.
Cavalry, Infantry, Artillery and Three
Aviation Units Ready for Any
Emergency.

Washington, June with condi-
tons in Mexico growing more disturb
ing and with apprehension increasing
along the border because of the threat
ening aspect of affairs, the United
States government is prepared for
emergencies that might arise.
On the Mexican border today the
United States has more than 1880
troops within striking distance in case
of trouble with Mexico OF raids by
Mexicans across the line. This force
is divided into cavalry, 5000; infantry,
$500, and artillery, 1000. Besides
these there are three aviation units.
Word has been sent to Washington
through confidential channels by Fee
lipe Angeles, recently proclaimed pro-
visional president Of Mexico by the
Villista forces, stating that the OBJ
jects Of his revolution are simply to
restore the constitution of 1857 and to
protect the lives and property of Mexi-
cans and foreigners alike from
ispoliation at the hands Of President
Carranza and other forces, working for
the downfall of the Mexican people"
General Angeles says that he hopes
this communication will be placed in
the hands Of the officials of the Unit
led States, from whom he asks no ia
vors at present. He expresses the hope
that the time will come when Mexico
will be restored to the confidence of
the people of the United States at
which time he will formally ask this
government for recognition.
The town of Esperanto, located 525
ikilometers south Of Nogales on the
main line of the Southern Pacific de
Mexico, was attacked by Yaqui In
dams, according to telegraphic infor-
mation received here. Details are
meager, but several Mexicans and one
American are said to have been killed.

Washington, May 29.-Internal reve-

Big Po,cer Lay
IN Patents Control

Another similar strategic advan-
tage lay in the control by Beer,
Sondheimer & Co. of the patents for
minerals separation,' the process
by which the metals are removed
from the worthless material in which
they are found in the ore. These
patents were taken out as late as
1914, and a syndicate was formed
for their exploitation which was ex-
tremely profitable, because of the
great saving they permitted as
against the old processes. Beer,
Sondheimer & Co. became exclusive
agents for these in the United
States, as we'll as having a heavy
interest in the syndicate. Thus
there was another moose around the
neck Of American business.
A third strategic move is seen in
the heavy investments in Mexico.
There are two advantages to be
gained there. The first is that all
Mexican property is cheap at pres
ent, and by going in under Amer
lean names the German capital will
have the chance to realize heavily
when the time comes for the United
States to adjust it's claims in Mex
leo, while if this government does
not do this the interests could be
retransferred to Germans and the
German power invoked.
The second advantage, Of course,
is the concealing Of the German
wealth, to keep it out of reach of
the Allies when the demand for
indemnities is presented. Thus,
Germany on this continent is pur-
suing the same course in chaotic
Mexico that she is following in Boil
shevik Russia-buying cheaply to
get secure foothold on the coun-
try for future exploitation, and
counting on the use Of force to
make the speculation good.

H''" c<er""e".
Kept Close Touch

The close touch which the Ger
man government kept on these con-
Germs is illustrated in the case Of
Vogelstein, the company being for
some time in financial troubles In
the early years of the war. Hugo
Schmidt, the German commercial
agent in America, promptly took
hold and threw the power Of the
Deutsche Bank behind the concern.
He supplied credit, arranged for
shipments and finally helped to get
the assets concealed when war with
America became unavoidable.
The American Metal Company
figures in another way. When the
lack Of German potash drove Amer
ica to the development Of her own
resources it became very much to
Germany's interests to make sure
that the American developments
could be crushed when the time
came. Won Bernstorff, accordingly,
started scheme to have the Amer
lean Metal Company made the sell
ing agent, "in Germany and Amer
ica," for the American potash. He
reported to his government as late
as February G, 1917, just a few
days before relations were broken
off, that the prospects Of this were
good after the war. Who would
be in doubt Of the fate Of American
potash in such hands?
Since America entered the war.
official reports show, there has been
no misbehavior by the American
Metal Company. AS much cannot
be said for some Of its subsidiaries,
especially in Mexico, whore officials
have been most active in the anti
American propaganda on which /
Germany counted for a diversion.
