AMERICAN MINE COMPANIES
REOPEN MEXICAN PLANTS
Three Corporations at El Paso Rely
on Continued Presence of the
American Troops. t
Mjieriafr-f Press Retort.)
PASO Texas. April -As an In-
dication of their confidence that serious
trouhle will he avoided between the
I'nited States and Mexico three Ameri
can corporations made preparations to-
day to reopen their plants in Northern
Mexp o. The Alvarado Mining company
ofif r iling near Tarral. the Compania Ag-
rnola. with a plant at La Bocpiilla and
Hie Xatinnal Mmes and Smelting coni-
pany with headquarters at. Magistral
haxr arran&ed to send hi mine operators
into Mexico next Monday. THes'e men
lune been given permission h the rie
lai'to government to carry guns and ain-
uiunitiuti to protect themaelves against
the loving bands of bandits who sdili ill-
s est I'hihuahiia.
The. confidence shown by the mining
comp.inie.s is not. however based entire-
Iv on the piotection w hicli the de fa to
government can give tbem according to
one of their executives. ThiR man said
that he believed that the American troops
are to remain in Mexico until the situa-
tion hceanie normal and that he and his
colieaenes were relying on the expecta-
tion that they could call on I'nited States
soldiers for help in the event of serious
trouble
Al the same time there Is considerable
confidence among an important element
of the people here in General Obrcgon.
The restraint shown by the people of
Northern t'hihualnia over the entry of
the American Hoops into Mexico is be-
lieved to he largely to General I'arranzH's
minister of war It is pointed out that
Gencial Gavira commander at Juarez is
an appointee of General obregon and that
his successful effort to avoid friction
vvilh the I'nited States is nnn.uostionnhly
a reflection of the attitude of his mili-
tary chief.
The coming conference between Gen-
eral ibregnn and General Scott Is be-
lieved here to he fraught with weighty
consequence for the future relations of
the two countries and is awaited with the
keenest interest.

YELLOW PRESS OF

Mr. Wolff asserts that the American
"yellow press" and certain German news-
papers and politicians have disturbed 'h
relations between the two countries hui
that Washington must realize that sohei
discussion still is possible in Germany.
' Whether discussion will achieve tan-
gible Jesuits can not be foreseen." he-
adds "The hope that remains can not
conceal the seriousness of the situation."
Mr. Wolff declares that America's en-
trance into the war would lengthen it.
