We Sell For Less LONDON, April 1C Declaring that only American administration of Mexi can affairs can prevent a reign of nn archy nnd clmos there, tho newspapers! of London today are practically a unit In urging that United Status troops cross the. Rio Grande, nnd military experts are quoted at length In the opinion that President Toft will be forced by events to order the Invasion, The British foreign office Is plainly excited by the Mexican situation. It professes Ignorance of the reported land ing of British bluejackets with a Maxim from the gunboat Shearwater at Hair Qulntln, Mex but In the absence of con firmation or absolute denial, none of tho officials will be quoted. Military experts generally aro discuss ing the Mexican situation with great In terest, and little else Is spoken of In the army and navy clubs. Tho consensus of opinion Is that tho Mexican rebels want intervention ns tho American patrol on the border Is believed to havo already cut off their supplies. Referring to President Taft'n warning to President Dlax and the rebel chief tains, the Mall says teday: "President Toft was Justified. If America Intervenes It In because tho Mexican government makes tho action necessary- If Dlaa cannot establish pence he has no reason to complain If tho United States steps In to spcure Amer ican rights." The Globe says: "America must police tho South and Central American republics or other gov ernments will bo compelled to Interfero to protect their own subjects and prop erty, regardless of the Monroe doctrine. There Ih no reason to suppose, that America contemplates the annexation of Mexico or anything but tho restoration of order. President Taft realizes that hesitation might entail for-reaclilnjr con sequences, as unquestionably Gormnny looks with longing eyes on more than oire of the South American republics and would be glad to possess them.
