Ismael Magma, Mexican consul in
San Antonio, has recommended TO his
government that an educational cam
paign be organized in Mexico and the
citizenship informed that theer is no
work for Mexican laborers at present.
He has urged that placards publish
ing this fact be posted in railway
cars, stations and other public places.
This would he one of the most eff
cacious methods OF handling the prob
lem, Consul Magma believes. and in
this a number of federal officials con-
cur. Due TO the terrain and extent
of the Mexican border, it is practical
ly imaossible to keep out aliens. In
the San Antonio immigration district,
for instance, an alien might cross at
almost any point by merely wading or
swimming the river.
Reports that thousands Of Euro
peans are being struggled into this
country as the result Of smuggling
ring that has reached international
proportions, were branded by Inspec-
tor Hanson as unfounded. During the
past week, on the points along the
Mexican border covered ty this dis
,rict, extending from near FL Paso to
Brownsville, approximately twenty
Europeans were apprehendcd, four OF
these being taken into custody Satur-
day night.
Watch Border Trains.
As result OF the agitation origi-
nally inspired by the transportation
of Mexican laborers to Fort Worth
from San Antonio, Secretary of Labor
Davis has announced that the border
guard will be greatly increased. This
increase in the border guard, it was
lIointed out, will not alone stop the
influx Of aliens into this country.
Trains are being met by immigra-
ton inspectors ut points both close
to the border and some distance from
it, in search of aliens. Prior to the
appointment of Captain Hanson, the
former inspector in charge. Dan ).
Kuykendall, pursued a. backing NJ
policy. by watching the trains where
the roads converge at transportation
centers. This policy is being followed
by Captain Hanson. The two immi-
grafton inspectors who are assigned
to duty in the territory Immediately
adjacent TO San Antonio are watch
ing all trains from Laredo.

War Department was requested to-
night TO send a fleet of bombing
planes here to save Sioux City and

patched Immediately to drop high ex-
plosives on the ice gorge.
All other means of breaking the
dam have failed and the waters,
which have already caused heavy dam
age. show no signs OF subsidins.
The ice dam withstood an aerial
attack by one plane today. when 400
pounds cf dynamite were dropped
from height of 800 feet. The ex-
plosion tore great hoie in the ice,
but failed to release the flood.
The river receded slightly when
