CROSSING OF BORDER
DEFENDED IN HOUSE
Americans Still in Peril in
Mexico, Says Representative
Hudspeth.


WAsHINoToN, June 1s.-United States
troops, which occupied Ciudad Juarez
last Monday and killed or captured a
number of villistas. should have re-
manned there and should still be there.
Representative Hudspeth (Texas) told
the House to-day in the course of a
speech commending the Secretary Of
War for sending the troops across the
international line.
THE life of every American in Mexico
Is In peril at this time" he said. You
have friends there. Possibly every man
In this House has friends in Mexico
pursuing their business, and I say to
you that l believe the only mistake
made was in withdrawing the troops be-
fore the last moment of danger was
past We ought to keep them there"
Mr.. Hudspeth opened UP with criti-
cism OF Representative Gould On ",
who on Tuesday questioned the wisdom
OF permitting American troops to pur sue
Villa beyond the point where their an
nounced object ito stop firing into Ell
Paso' had been accomplished. Mr.
Hudspeth claimed that an agreement ex-
listed between the United States and
Mexico to permit such expeditions, and
that a similar agreement had existed at
the time of the Pershing expedition. This
agreement, however. neither then nor
since proceeded beyond the stage OF dis
cussion. as Carranza insisted as a con-
dition that his troops be permitted the
privilege Of pursuing bandits into Amer
lean territory.

,Rosenblum, according to Mr.. De

that he did not approve false tax re-

POSTAL CUTS RATES
ON PACIFIC CABLES
Reduces Charge to Manila
From 81 to soc. a Word.

reduction in cable rates from San
Francisco to the Philippines. China ard
japan was announced yesterday by
clarence II. Mackay. president OF the
commercial Cable-Postal Telegraph
system. These reductions will 20 into
effect September 1.
The rate from San Francisco to Manila
VIII be reduced from 81 a word to so
cents word. and the rate from San
francisco to China will be reduced from
N.10 to SS cents a word and the rate
from San Francisco to Japan from Sl21
to 50 cents word. The last two re-
auctions. however. will be contingent on
proportionste reduction in the terminal
charges by the Chinese and Japanese
Governments. concerning which no OBJ
lection Is anticipated. Mr.. Mackay said
1T is the policy of our system TO re-
duce rates whenever possible. Prior to
the laying of our cable across the Pa
cihc Ocean the rate from San Francisco
to Manila was S2.47 a word. 1t will now
be 80 cents word. Likewise the rates
from San Francisco to China and japan
were respectively 81 ~ and S1.sS a word
These rates will .now be So cents a
word.
In view Of the fact that the Pacific
cable is long and costly cable to main
tain and operate. we think the public
will appreciate these liberal pedrctions.
These reduced rates will not yield more
than reasonable return, especially
when the trafflc gets back to normal
conditions. We believe that trade be-
tween America and the Far East will
develop sufficiently to Justify these re-
ductions. Delays on the Pacific cable
have been heavy. but not as heavy as
the delays on lines between Europe and
the Far East which, In consequence OF
Interruptions and COMPOSITIONS and the
closing Of telegraph routes via Germany
and Russia, cause delays often amount
ing TO from two weeks to a month.
We are confident that the delays on
our Pacific cable will disappear upon the
return of normal conditions. II 1t turns
out that the traffic warrants a second
cable we shall promptly lay it."

Such move on the part OF the
President would be quite consistent with
his Mexican policy to date" remarked
Representative Gould IN. ". "It
would utterly disregard the rights and
future OF Americans and their interests,
would surrender to other nations the
commerce which our business men have
striven through years to build up with
Mexico and would wash his hands OF a
problem which he created and which he
cannot solve without undoing every
