msnt of justice in Corpus Christi yes
terday reported that hundreds of men
who crossed the border at the begin
ming of hostilities and later are re-
turning to this country, with little or
no property or household effects.

crossed the border carried much of
their property with them," said one
official yesterday land today. these
same men are returning, practically
penniless, and with nothing but the
clothes they wear on their backs, but
apparently unmindful, so eager are
they to get back into this country"
This official estimated that ap-
proximately | 100 men, the great ma
jority Of them of Mexican parentage,
crossed the border from the south
Texas counties, between Brownsville
and Laredo. A great many of these
have returned and others are cross
ing the line daily to give themselves
up TO the government officials.
According TO this official, the army
officials on the border take charge Of
the men who reside in that immediate
section and put them to work for
thirty days at 81 per day. AT the end
of the thirty days they are released
and permitted to resume their normal
life rs citizens Of the United States.
Many things are considered in ex-
tending this leniency to these men
who refused to respond to their
adopted country's call, according to
the official, who returned from the
border district yesterday.
The men who entered pleas of
guilty to the charge Of violation OF
the draft act, and who were bound
over to the next term of the United
