CARRANzA Directed
RAIDS ON U. S. BORDER
Witnesses Before Senate Com
mittee Offer Documentary
Evidence of Plotting.

San Antonio, Tex.-President Car
rama and a few of his principal lieu
tenants instigated and directed the
long series of raids on American prop
critics that began along the Rio Grande
early in 1915, according to documen-
tary evidence placed before the senate
subcommittee Investigating the Mexi-
can situation. This was supported by
testimony by John A. Walls, District
Attorney at Brownsville, Texas; l.. K.
Barnes, in charge Of the United States
Army Intelligence work along the bor-
der during the war, and other wit
nesses.
The committee obtained from them
and from documentary evidence in
formation purporting to show that not
only were the highest Mexican officials
cognizant of the program of the raid
ing parties which was carried out un-
der the provisionss of the 'Plan OF
San Diego" but that as late as June,
1915, they were still giving encourage
ment to and aiding those who partici-
pated in those raids in plans inimical
to the United States.
Incidental to the taking Of testi-
mony regarding Mexican government
officials connection with the "Plan of
San Diego further Information was
obtained as to the success encounter
ed by Germans in bidding for the
sympathy and support Of Mexico dur
ing the war and the present alleged
drift toward Bolshevism. T. B. Al
tendorf, a Pole, who was In the In
telligence service Of the American
army during the war, was placed on
the witness stand long enough to
identify Mario Mendez, the director OF
telegraphs in Mexico, as one of those
whom Minister Won Eckhardt kept on
his payroll during the war. Altendorf
said messages from the United States
bearing on military affairs were de-
livered to the German Legation.
Summarized, the plan of San Diego,
a copy Of which was read into the
record, follows:
"The states of Texas, New Mexico,
Colorado, Arizona, and California are
to be invaded simultaneously, with up.
risings of Mexican and negro citizens
on the American side. separate
government is to be established and
remuneration to Mexico requested
Six other states contiguous to this
territory are to be carved out Of the
United States to be formed into a
negro republic under the protection OF
Mexico. This is to be accomplished
in a ruthless manner. All male Amer
leans more than Is years of age are
to be killed"

Be Fair to Our Visitors.

The season is at hand when Vermont
will be entertaining hundreds and thou
sands of visitors. many of whom have no
connection with Vermont by nativity OF
bv kinship with present residents OF the
state. Those who have no direct conhec-
ton with Vermont are coming INTO the
state to gain the recreation when Pc
riod in the splendid environment or the
Green Mountains can give them; they
are. many of them, coming as strangers
to the state and to the people. There
fore. it behooves the residents OF the
state to welcome them gladly and to
treat them most cordially during the
time of their stay in the state. Inns
cordial treatment means good many
things. and one of those things which we
mention with some diffidence because OF
the belief that the warning applies only
to few residents is to be fair in charges
for entertainment wherever the visitors
are paying guests There must be nc
profiteering in Vermont summer enter

or any wear to come. Charge the visitors
fair price for room, board and the
other service which is rendered to them
and the result win be a clear conscience

miserable. Of all the medicines / took
in an effort to get relief, none of them

Hon Thomas A. Crerar, who today en-
tiers upon his 10th year, is one of the
outstanding figures in Canadian politics.
In recent months he has been especially
prominent through his leadership of the
so-called agrarian movement in the Do
minion. Mr.. Crerar was born at NIoles-
worth, Ont, and early in life began to
take an active interest in politics. When
the Cnionst government was formed
during the war he was offered and ae-
eepted the post of minister of agriculture
at Ottawa In 1919, however, he resigned
his place in the cabinet and left the
party in consequence of the budget pro-
tposals of that year. Since then he has
campaigned over a large section of the
Dominion in the work of organizing what
has been styled by its adherents the Ma
tional Progressive party, and of which he
! Is the recognized leader.
