DISORDER IS SPREADING Reported That Former Carran za Soldiers Have' Cross ed Rio Grande. Organized Gang Endeavoring to Start Revolt Brownsville, Texas, Aug. 11 . Practically every American citi zen in three southernmost counties of Texas Cameron, Hidalgo and Starr is resting under arms to night in fear that the overwhelm ing Mexican population of this section may break out in a racial fight. The Mexican disturbance spread rapidly westward today until ru mors of trouble developed at La redo. 200 miles along the border from here. The disorder is re ported here to be connected with an attempt to turn part of Texas back to Mexican control a wild scheme backed by ignorant Mexi- cnv escaped convicts, fugitives!,, from justice on the American side, and some Mexican soldiers; c Trying to Start Revolt. ;,r The disturbance has been fanned by some of the bitter disputes of border political conditions, which, In some In stances, kept the American; residents of this section from realizing how strong the under current of Mexican feeling was growing. Rangers in Hidalgo county, pursuing some of the gang which killed an Am, . erican trooper near Meredes last night, captured a flag today bearing in Span ish the words: "Army of Liberation of Mexicans in Texas." They took also some literature urging Mexicans to re volt Army and Federal investigators de clared the organizers of the trouble are wprking under the plan of San Diego, which calls for the death of every Am erican male over 16 years of age in communities along the Rio Grande, and also along the border of New Mexico, Arizona and California. It has been re ported to General Funston that more than 30,000 Mexicans are pledged to the organization. Federal officials last winter believed hey nipped an attempt to put this rev olution into effect when they arrestea a llexican on charges of sedition, dis covering in his possession details of the plan, which were published at the time. Authorities here tonight are watching the river at a point ten miles below Erownsville, where It was reported sev eral hundred armed Mexicans had Slith ered on the Mexican side, waiting to cross the Rio Grande under darkness. A Mexican rancher in Hidalgo county, fifty miles up the river from Browns ville, appealed for aid this afternoon, asserting that 80 armed Mexicans were hiding on his ranch. He said they had threatened to kill him if he reported their presence. There were many reports here that officials on the Mexican side of the rlv- er, v.-hich is under Carranza control, are fTorrd for some of the troubles on the American side, either by laxness of 3ifripline or by direct connivance. . However, there is no evidence tnat any high Mexican authority is involved. Officials here have reports that 1,700 former Carranza soldiers have crossed the river along a zone 120 miles wide, from a point below Brownsville . to Rio Opnde City, up the river. At least 3.0 different parties are said to have cross ed.

FIACE FIGHT IS SENT ID "I War Department Asks Infor mation About Facilities. IN CASE OF EMERGENCY Make Particular Reference to What Service Government Could Ex pect Provided Need Should Become Pressing;. Washington, Aug. 11. American manufacturers of war supplies have been asked by the War Department for information concerning their facilities with particular reference to what ser vice the United States government could expect from them in emergency. With virtually every private plant in the country taxed to capacity filling orders from Europe, army officials want to know whether expansion of facilities has kept pace with the de mand. Even in ordinary times the govern ment factories produce only a part of the arms and ammunition for the army. Measures to strengthen the national defense, are. expected to result in vast ly increased demands for supplies, aside from any emergency that may arise. The following statement was issued by the department: -"b " IZTL T" 11 t v adequate- supply of war materials to meet an emergency ; ofjtar, It. has bee n the practice of the government, both in time'of peace as well as In war, to purchase from private establishments a considerable part of the war material currently required. "This policy makes it necessary for the ordnance department to obtain from these establishments from time to time information as to their ability and capacity to produce various classes of such material. i "Such extraordinary changes and un precedented expansion of the facilities of American manufacturers,- have re sulted from the demands for material by the warring nations of Europe, particularly for the production of cer tain classes of ammunition, that it. has been necessary for the ordnance de partment to correspondingly increase its activity to keep in touch with this industrial development. It Is probable that the expansion noted has not ceas ed, but officials believe that a stage has been reached which renders desir able a general inquiry as to the manu facturing facilities now in existence, and with a view to obtaining informa tion on the subject, the ordnance de partment is sending out letters of in quiry to a number of manufacturers, accompanied by forms designed to fa cilitate the making of replies. "The' War Department expressly states that it does not now' contem plate purchasing any of the material manufactured as it has no special funds which may be used for such a purpose. No special inquiry is deemed necessary for the expenditure of limited funds from current appropriations which ar at the bureau's disposal."

MEXICANS CRQSS LINE Reported Carranza Troops Try to Rally Uprising in Southeast Texas. Washington, Aug. 11. Raiding and guerilla fighting along the Mexican border in Texas will be met by the strengthening of the United States forces there, if Major General Funston requests it. Secretary Garrison and other officials insisted today, however, that any such troop movement had no connection with Mexican internal af fairs, and would be only for protec tion of Americans in that district. Department officials could get no sat isfactory information of the character of the raiders. One report said about 1,000 Carranza troops from the Tamau- lipas garrison had been crossing Into Southeastern Texas, in the vicinity of Brownsville, to rally Mexicans in the State to an uprising. Secretary Garrison said he had no official information of that character, and added that if Carranza troops were found in Texas, they would be disarmed and shot if they resisted. Advices from Carranza sources at San Antonio denied that any Carranza troops had crossed the line. Rangers Capture Flag. Texas rangers in Hidalgo county cap tured a flag bearing in Spanish the in scription: "Army of Liberation for Mex icans in Texas," and officers at Browns ville said that for several days 30 or 40 Mexicans had been crossing into Texas each day, some of them having the appearance "of soldiers and carry ing cartridge belts. ... , Requests for more troops came to the War Department from officials along the border, and have been referred to General Funston, upon whom Secretary Garrison depends to report whether he can handle the situation with the force available. Funston has ready on the border and at Texas City about 17,000 troops, in fantry, cavalry and artillery. Secretary Garrison telegraphed him today that the 12.00J) mobile troops re maining at other posts in continental United States would be sent to the bor der, if he asked for them. General Funston reported that the best information ,Jie could gather indi cated that the raids in Cameron, Hidal go and Starr counties were directed by Texans having headquarters in Browns ville, who, after a political feud, sent bandit gangs to rob and attack each other. Secretary Garrison expressed doubt that Mexicans from over the border were responsible for all the disturb ances. Probably Slot All Mexicans. "Conditions on the border," said Mri Garrison, "have no political signifi cance. Lawless people are using this time of excitement to plunder and steal, and we are not sure that all the law breakers are Mexicans." Further strengthening of the border forces will take virtually all available regular troops In the country. Officials today were considering whether it (Continued on Page Eight.)

TO KEEP IT FROM ENEMY It la Stated in Meeting That Had Cot ton Been Declared Contraband a Year Ago, the War Would be Near an End. London, Aug. 11. At the meeting held tonight to impress on the govern ment the necessity of declaring cotton contraband. Sir William Ramsay, the scientist, declared cotton was the only substance required for the manufacture of munitions with which the Germans could not supply themselves. He said no chemical products could take the place of cotton in propulsive ammuni tion. Sir Charles Macara, president of the Master Cotton Spinners' Association of Great Britain, presided at the meeting. An inspired statement published this morning deprecating the agitation to make cotton contraband, and intimating that negotiations with the United States on this subject were proceeding, had the effect of lessening interest in the meeting. Both the presiding offi cer and Secretary William, the chief speaker, were insistent, however, that immediate action should be taken. Sir Charles said he had no doubt that the explosives manufacturers had con sumed a large part of the cotton sur plus created by the war and added: "We must utilize our command of the highways of the sea, both practically and diplomatically, to prevent cotton reaching enemy countries while at the same time acting fairly in the interests of neutral countries." Sir William Ramsay, who seconded a resolution which was passed demanding that cotton be declared contraband, as serted that while substitutes for cot ton could be used in making nitro-cel-lulose, none of them had what was call ed the f ballistic. power" of cotton, and if anything "else were used by" Germany it would necessitate enlarging the chambers of their guns and altering the sights of their rifles, an expedient which not even Germany could be pre pared to adopt in the course of a great war. He declared cotton was going to Germany by devious routes. Sir Wil liam estimated that a thousand tons of cotton is used every day of the war, and he protested that it was grossly unfair to the English soldiers . ana their Allies that Great Britain should continue to supply Germany with this commodity. "Had cotton been stopped at the be ginning of the war," he said, "we might reasonably expect to see the war nearing an end." v A letter from Lord Beresford was read in the meeting, In which he said had cotton been declared contraband last February the war now would be approaching Its final scenes. "We don't wish to hamper the trade ef the great English-speaking nation across the Atlantic. There are diffi culties, but difficulties were created to be faced." The solution proposed by Lord Beres ford is for the British . government to buy up the entire American cotton crop and resell afterwards, even if at a loss. RESERVE BOARD CONSIDERING COTTON RELIEF PROPOSITION. Involves Issue of $500,000,000 In Bank Notes to be Used In South. Washington, Aug. 11. After a talk today with Commissioner Harding, Representative Henry, of Texas, tele graphed Joseph Hurst, of Corpus Chris ti, that the Federal Reserve Board is considering a cotton relief proposition he presented involving the issue of $500,000,000 of Federal Reserve notes for deposit in the sub-treasury nearest the Southern Reserve banks. He proposed that the reserve board advise member banks it will loan these notes to them at 2 per cent annual in terest if the banks will make reasona ble loans to cotton producers at 4 per cent interest for six months periods. Mr. Henry said the amount of interest was the real question at issue. THREE BATTLESHIPS ORDERED TO WATERS OF SOUTH ATLANTIC Secretary Daniels States No Definite Purpose fQr TMs Action. Washington, , Aug. JL1. After two days of uncertainty and wire confer ences between navy officials and Pres ident Wilson, Secretary Daniels an nounced tonight that three battleships of the Atlantic fleet had been or dered "to Southern waters for any duty that may be required." The ships are the Louisiana and Now Hampshire, which sailed from New port, R. I., last night, and the Connec ticut now in Haitien waters. Whether they will be directed by wireless to proceed to Vera Cruz or will be kept in readiness somewhere in the South Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico will depend on developments.

HOPE TO HELP RUSSIA Allies Meeting "With Success in Efforts to Open Dardanelles. London, Aug. 11. While the Rus sians are fighting desperately to ex tricate themselves from the cordon of Austro-German troops steadily press ing them more closely in Poland, their allies are working feverishly and wth considerable success to open the Dar danelles, through which they hope to pour into Russia much needed war mu nitions. Since Saturday night,-when French British forces were landed on Galli poli peninsula, there has been almost continuous fighting on the Krithia road . In these operations the Aus tralians and New Zealanders in the An zac region, a name taken from the in itial letters of the words "Australian New Zealand army corps," co-operated with new forces further north. Follow ing the successes of the troops on the Krithia road and those north of the Anzac zone the Australians and New Zealanders took the offensive yes terday and almost trebled the area formerly held by them. Their com rades on the north who assisted them made no further progress, however. Turkish Guns Disabled. Simultaneously the French battle ship St. Louis attacked the Turkish batteries on the Asiatic side of the straits, which had been bombarding the allied positions on the peninsula, and put five guns out of commission. These actions are believed here to be pre liminary to a much more ambitious attempt planned by the Anglo-French commanders to sweep the Turks before them. - Very, heavy losses have had a discouraging effect on the Turks, ac cording to reports from Greece. On the Eastern front Kovno is tjie danger point in the Russian line. The armies of Grand Duke Nicholas ap parently have arrealed the German of fensive against Riga and Pyiisk, but are being hard pressed on the Kovno front which' the' Germans "are attack ing with guns of all calibres, including the famous 16-inch cannon, which no fortress hitherto has withstood. On the western front little has hap pened beyond the usual artillery en gagements. " German Submarines Active. German submarines have renewed their activity, and in the last three days have sunk 18 vessels, 10 of which were British trawlers and four of whf&h belonged to neutral countries. The Brit ish patrol boat Ramsey also has been sunk by the German auxiliary Meteor in the North sea. The commander cf the Meteor realizing that escape from pursuing British vessels was impossi ble, abandoned his ship and blew her up. There have been frequent reports today of firing heard off Helgoland but no explanation has been forthcom ing. ALLIES INCREASE HOLDINGS. Gain Positions on Gaillpoll, Nearly Trebling Their Area.

Four million dollars, this year's Federal appropria tion to the organized militia, was ap portioned today by Secretary Garrison. Half of the amount is for actual field service and rifle practice, and is divid ed among the states according to Con gressional representation. Of the $2,000,000 for supplies and ammunition $400,000 Is reserved for special emergency allotment, and the remainder goes to the states on the basis of efficiency plans adopted by the War Department. Instead of making the distribution of supplies and ammunition according to paper strength of , the various state organizations as last year, Mr. Garri son took into consideration actual strength at the annual inspection and the number of auxiliary branches. Ev ery man in a field hospital and the am bulance companies was counted twice, and every man in the other branches of the . auxiliary services three times so that these arms should -receive ade quate funds. .

HOKE SMITH SPEAKS Tells New York Importers- That Great Britain's Blockade Is One of Most Flagrant ' and Inexcusable ' Violations. . New York, Aug. 11. After listening to a speech by Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, more than 300 New York im porters today adopted a petition urg ing President Wilson to take prompt and strenuous action to relieve Ameri can importers of the embarrassments of Great Britain's . refusal to allow German and Austrian products to be shipped from neutral ports to the United States. Senator Smith declared that the blockade, as carried .out by Great Britain, was one of the most fla grant and inexcusable violations of neutral rights in naval history. "I have determined the only thing to do," said Senator Smith, "is to tell Great Britain to revoke the blockade order, or she can have no neutral trade with us. .Excuse Don't Make Seizure Lawful. "The excuse that Great Britain seiz ed vessels having cargoes of goods produced in Germany or Austria, or of goods intended for Germany or Aus tria, but consigned to a neutral port, as ; a retaliatory 'measure against Ger many, does not make the seizure law ful. "There is no justification for the sec- Lpna contentibh' that the British were ju,SMfied''in their- action because the United States had violated Great Brit ain's rights during the Civil. War. The United States never committed an act, nor did our courts -ever write a line, that justified the British action." Senator Smith declared that during the Russo-Japanese war Great Britain asserted the rights of India to ship cotton to Japan.. He also pointed out that the British first placed cotton on the list of articles not to be classed as contraband. Discusses Civil War Cases. As a contention that rulings by the United States Supreme Court did not justify Great Britain's action,' Senator Smith discussed the Bermuda and Pe terhof, or Matamoras cases, which arose during the Civil War. In the latter case he noted the ruling of the court which held that although the Pe terhof sailed -from England for Mata moros, Mexico, with contraband, con ditional contraband and non-contraband goods, all intended for shipment to Texas, during the war, only the ac tual contraband could be seized, as a blockade could not extend to a neutral port. Senator Smith said he had been sur prised to -find that the people of the United States "made so little of Great Britain's attack on our commerce," and added that the neutral countries had Great Britain at their mercy. He said: "We can command this: 'Recognize our rights, or what will you eat? The Administration's point of view Is all right, but it has acted slowly."

REPLIES ARE REQUESTED Further Steps Reserved, Pend ing Action of the Dif ferent Factions. Governments Anxious for Peace Without War. New York, Aug. II. Secretary Lan sing, on behalf of the United Statea government and the diplomatic repre sentatives of Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemala, today signed an appeal addressed to the head ers of all factions in Mexico, asking them in the name of humanity and na-: tional- patriotism, to cease their civit strife and assemble a peace confer ence. The action, taken after a two-hourti session, was not of a joint character, but identical. An, informal, but unani-. mous note will be sent expressing the. views of the seven governments that; the condition of chaos in Mexico has injured the prestige of the nation, abroad and supplicating the Mexican; leaders and generals to make" a su preme effort to bring together all elen ments in the creation of a provisional, government that can be given worlds wide recognition. Beyond this step today'a session did not'go, reserving t until a later date consideration of the situation that may be created by refusal of any of the factions to participate in a peace con ference. There .was no discussion, in fact, of eventualities, notwithstanding . that press dispatches reported Carran za's outspoken objections to the Pan American methods of settling Mexico's struggle. The assembled . diplomats took the view tonight ,fchat when their appeal is fully disclosed to General Carranza, he will not misunderstand their purposes or. accuse them, as he has, of attempting to interfere in Mex ico's internal affairs. Feeling of Confidence. When the conference adjourned to night there was a feeling of confidence that a decisive step toward restoring Mexico to her place in the family of nations had been taken. The appeal, which is brief and courteously phrased, calls upon the Mexicans to consider the, injurious effect throughout" the world which the constant turbulence in Mex-. ico has caused. The petition suggests, that a peace conference be held on neu-i tral territory in Mexico far from the roar of cannon. The governments signing it express their willingness to act, if invited, in any practicable way to assist in bringing the factions to gether for the conference. t The communication will be given, widest publicity throughout Mexico., and will be delivered by- the diplomatio and consular agents of the various gov ernments signatory to it. Replies ara definitely asked for, hope being ex-, pressed that these - will- be received within ten days after the communica tion reaches the leaders unless some just cause for delay presents itself. Secretary Lansing, who left for Washington tonight, will show Presi dent Wilson tomorrow the text of the. appeal as finally agreed upon, and a statement will be prepared by Mr. Lan sing explanatory of the purposes of th appeal, which in many quarters hat come to be interpreted as a forerunner of military intervention. Not only had the Latin-American, diplomats here today made it deal that they would object to such a course or any that would impair Mexico's sov ereignty, but President Wilson and. Secretary Lansing are equally anxious that the present peace be accompanied by no physical act. Mr. Lansing took occasion to explain to the diplomats that the warships ordered to Vera Cruz; yesterday were sent for protection oft Americans and foreigners. Many of, the diplomats said that while this as surance was not necessary, for they thoroughly understood the purpose of the United States, it nevertheless was; opportune in removing a possible mlsi understanding abroad of the real moi tives of the American government. Ultimately if all peace plans fail officials of the United States realize that the interests of foreigners may, require more drastic steps, but at pres ent it can be stated authoritatively that the plans under consideration, contemplate restoration of - peace in Mexico by friendly means,' by using the power of recognition to assist a gov ernment into being. Future Steps Not Determined. No steps of definite character in the future have been, finally determined on. Tentatively, however, it has been agreed to await, the result of the peace conference, and. if all the factions do not participate, .the government set yp ' by those elements which do attend will be given recognition provided it gives promise of stability. Immediate ly an embargo on arms would be en forced against all other factions, and an amnesty declared, permitting con tending groups to lay down their arms without fear of punitive measures.
