The Mexican Situation
Growing More Critical
The relations between the
United States anil Mexico, which
have been, for many months grow-
ing worse, have just about come
to a culmination, so far as diplo-
matic relations are concerned.
American consuls have already
been ordered out of that war-thirsty
country and from the appearance
of things, intervention in Mexico
is inevitable.
Wires were kept busy on Sun-
day afternoon when President |
Wilson informed the governors ot
those states which have not already
been sent to the Mexican border to
have their national guards in read-
iness.
This call was sudden but not at
fill unexpected, because of the fact
that the border conditions have
not been bettered by requests by
our government to the Mexican
government. The call has been
gladly received from all quarters
and the members of the different
companies seem realy and eager to
go and protect American lives and
property. They consider it their
duty and are entering into this
task with a firm and deter-
mined mind and purpose.
The Norman Camp, Company
A., Engineers, is now recruiting,
and it will take only a short time
to have the required number of
men. This company is headed by
Captain I Tucker, who is now
in Oklahoma City receiving and
giving orders. Ot course the hoys
hate to leave Noiman, their friends
and loved ones but the time has
come when hostilities to Americans
on the border must stop.
Regardless of the fact that the
relations are all but severed be-
tween the two countries, there is
still hope for a peaceful arrange-
ment of governmental affair.-
