This situation is due, according to wild
reports here, to o activities of an
"Army of liberation for Mexicans In
Texas," composed of Mexicans from
across the border, former soldiers in the
Carranza and Villa armies, dissatisfied
Texas Mexicans rind hundreds of adven
turers of all nationalities.
According to tne reports, the "army" la
committed, to the audacious scheme of
forming a' new and Independent republic
from territory preempted from Mexico
and torn from Texas. Already the army
has set in operation .its scheme to drive
.out all Americans and set up a govern
ment by Mexicans, Negroes, Chinese, Jap
anese and others.
The oiganlzatlon Is committed to the
"Plan of San Plcgo." which contemplates
dealing death to all American males more
than IS years of age that refuse to quit
the country selected for tho new republic.
" As a result of tho wider territory
through which this "army" Is working,
Governor Ferguson has naked President
Wilson for more border troops.
LIKE-FRONTIER DATS.
Citizens of border counties are all
armed. Tho country has all tho spirit
and appearance of the old frontier days.
Rifles are ready in virtually every

are on guard here, .

there was-comparative quiet.
Throughout the sectloK there is an in

troops. Cpngrtsaman Garner announced
today he would add his appeal to the
Governor's'lp seeking Wilson's aid.
Soldiers are keeping the closest watch
