Two Regiments to Go to Border.
Beverly, Mass. Sept. 9. Although
rrcsldent Taft will not Intervene in
Mexico without the fullest deliberation
mi n Htep that would mean war, his
friends declared that Intervention Is
nearer than It hns been since Ihe first
American troops were rushed to the
bolder. eighteen months ago.
It can hi said on the highest author
ity that should the president decide
th:it Intervention Is the only course
open to him he will call congress in
pi lal session and demand of It the
authority to end the American army
across the border. In no clrcum
tnnces. he hnR told his friends, would
hi do an unfriendly act toward Mex
ico without consulting congress.
The president authorized General
LMMOrd Wot.l. chief of staff of the
United Htates army, to dispatch two
more regiments of cavalry to the Tex
as border.
It Is !n the senthern part of Mexico
that the president has learned of In
tolerable condition affecting Amer
icans. There the Madero government.
According to the Washington Informa
tion, is utterly unable to cope with the
revolutionists and there peems to be
little prospectP that the situation will
Improve.
The president within the last few
flays has communicated a demand that
President Mrtdfro he more active In
the protection of Americans. He Is
hopeful that tola reminder, meant for
the ears of the Mexican president and
the Mexican foreign office as well, will
be fruitful of results in both southern
and northern Mexico.
