Gen. H. J. Slocum. who stated that
ne had been in tne united states
army for 47 years and went to the
Mexican border where he has been.
off and on since was the first wit-
ness today. The general stated that
he was last stationed on the border
in January. 1918 and that after that
time rangers gave him satisfactory
service in assisting suppression of
neutrality law violations which arose
irom an classes on ootn siaes oi tne
Rio Grande. He also said that custom
laws had been violated "ever since the
river had flowed to the gulf."
Says Ra: ers Xeeded.
There was considerable anti-American
propaganda along the border ac-
cording to Gen. Slocum. and he de
pended upon the ranger force a great
deal in suppressing and watcntng it.

rangers were needed on the King
ranch and that be had approved a
request for stationing regular troops

cans would slip across the river to
steal any food they could Tind. The

misconduct by rangers and that he
had seen no drunkenness or gambling
by any person in Brownsville. On

knew nothing of conditions in
Brownsville during 1916 and 1S17. i
rtAn slocum was of the opinion
that the ranger force was of the same
class of men that It bad always been
and that "You can't have too many
officers on the border. If you want to
stop rascality." He also gave a favor-
able opinion as to the conduct of
several Individual rangers.
