GOVERNOR OF TEXAS
WARNS OF TROUBLE
Mexico's Attitude Requires
Troops to Avert Clash.
To the Editor Of THE SUN

To the Editor Of THE SUN:
AUSTIN, Tex, June 10. - Conditions
along the border are not alarming. My
refusal to permit the Mexican troops TO
be transported through Texas or my sug-
gestion that the Secretary of War rnobil-
ize the Texas cavalry should not be taken
as an indication that imminent danger
exists. The situation on the lower Dor
der ia peaceful and reports are favorable.
Reports, however, from the Chihuahua
district. which lies opposite e Paso, are
quite different and confirm the reports
that villa and Angeles are gaining head
way. II they should be successful in
taking any important places In Chihua-
hua II IL likely that outbreaks will oc-
cur at several border points. II was
my purpose in suggesting that the Texas
cavalry be modified and in refusing
permission to transport Mexican troops
through Texas to lessen all possibility of
a revolutionary movement that would
endanger American lives and property
and create disturbance along the Dor
der.
am firmly convinced that preventing
the passage Of troops through Texas
and mobillzing the Texas cavalry under
direction OF the Secretary OF War. would
have great forcs and effect to the end
OF protecting American citizens and the
American border at the incipiency of a
movement which foreshadows trouble
