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. In view
of these possibilities,
