NATIONAL RIVALRY
 IN NAVAL GROWTH DISCUSSION IN THE HOUSE OF
 COMMONS 1t Cannot Be Stopped By a Single
 Nation

London, March 1i.-Sir Edward Grey. foreign secretary. leading In the house of commons tonight, in Premier Asquith's absence, made an important pronouncement regarding the governments naval policy. Regi- nald McKenna, first Lord Admiralty in defense of the estimates, explained that in 1914. Great Britain would have 90, and Germany 2l dreadnaughts- not, he said, an unreasonable margin The size Of the British navy would probably be governed by that of Ger many.
 Secretary Grey, affirming MT Me Kenna's statements emphasized the cordiaIity of the relations between Great Britain and the United States. His honest desire was that nothing should disturb these friendships es- pecially with Germany. He pointed out that it was the most civilized nations that spent the most for arm aments, asserting that unless mischief was brought home to mems feeling as well as to their minds the growth of armaments must, in the long run, break civilization down.
 Some thought, the secretary con tinued, that it would end in war. He thought more likely it would end in an international revolution. Any way, the rivalry would not be stopped by any single nation dropping out of the race Although Great Britain had strong navy, her army was small, and the agreement with Germany needed careful handling. He was hopeful, however, that something might be done Any real limitations of arma- ments. he declared, must depend upon nations learning. like individuals, to resort to law instead of arms. He referred to President Tafts arbitra- ton speech as bold and courageous and pregnant with consequences. and said such d statement ought not to go without response. We should be q, lighted to have such a proposal made to us We should feel it was something of so mOmentous and far reg ching possibilities that it would requir.' not only the signature of both governments. but the deliberate, de- cided sanction of parliament. This, I believe, would be given"
 Sir Edwards speech was loudly cheered.

J JUAREz MENACED AGAIN
His Course Through North ern Mexico Was Marked By Blazing Bridges-No- where Was He Interrupt ed By Federal Forces

Fl Paso, March 13-Captain Oscar G. Creighton. a Harvard graduate. with a band of insUrrectos, and many Amer jeans. tonight are camped fifteen miles south of JUareZ. No fear is felt that they are planning to attack the city. but their proximity is looked upon as an effort tO induce General Navarro's 2,000 men to take the field.
 CreightOn's men came within ten miles of Juarez during the last twenty four hours and the shock of the explo- sion when they blew up a railroad bridge was felt in this city Creighton reached the vicinity of Juarez after a march from the south of about loo miles along the Mexican National rail way leaving in his wake a trail of burned bridges. 4 destruction of bridge on the mesa a few miles south has tied up the railroad. which for time has been open to Candelaria. and also put an end to the hope of sending relief to the city of Chihuahua.
 Coming upon twenty-five American mine prospectors at Gallego about 100 miles south on the Mexican National railway, Creighton informed them that he intended to destroy wha, remained of the railroad and if they wished to reach F. Paso he would allow them to precede him on two handcars. The handcars were put in action. but the Americans. fearing a possible attack. preferred to remain under CreightOn's protection.
 When the party reached a point near Juarez. Creighton told the mining to proceed on foot and in case they were mistaken by the Mexican federal troops for insurrectos and fired. upon. he would return the fire. D. B. Smith. W. T Swoyer and Marshall Cassidy. who led the mining party, reached Fl Paso to- day and told the story of their trip.
 Citizens of the United States are rapidly put forward as leaders of small bands of inSurrectOs. according to re ports from the interior received by the junta here. Those not experienced tO take commands are grouped in com mandS under their own cOuntrymen. Scores of Americans are appearing for enlistmen at the insurrecto junta de- spite the threats of the Diaz govern ment to punish by death anyone par. ticipating even in a slight degree. with the revolutionary movement. What disposition is made of the applicants is not given out by the junta, but it is known that the men do not remain long in Fl Paso.
 Much fear is expressed as to the fate of the fifteen Americans taken prison CT by federal troops at Casas Grandes. Whether the men are confined in the little sun -scOrched adobe jail or have been more severely dealt with is caus- ing conjecture.
 The story of Creighton's campaign through the heart of northern Mexico without being opposed by federal troops created a sensation in Fl Paso- It was said that throughout his entire march not a shot was fired at him According to reports received by the junta tonight. six federal soldiers were killed today at SaragOssa, on the bor- der twelve miles east of hefe. The federals were being driven toward Juarez when a mine which they at tempted to lay under the road to be fol- lowed by the insurrectOs was prema- turely exploded.

THE NAVAL PROGRAM
As Senor Limantour Had Understood it Was Dis turbing and Caused a Pro- test-Will Probably be no Need of Intervention

New York, Mar 13.-The Mexican ister of finance received assurances from Washington tonight which con- vinccd them of the sincere co-opera- ton of the administrations of Prcsi- dents Taft and DiaZ. It was not pro fessed that all the tension would be relieved. while the American troops remain in force on the Mexican bor- der. but it is admitted that some tension will continue.
 The first in importance was a long telegram to Ambassador De La Barra from the state department annuunc- ing that the American warships as signed to patrol duty on the Pacific and gulf coasts of Mexico had been ordered to call at Mexican ports only for coal. and withdraw promptly. This action was rcassuring to Senor Limantour
 In a recent interview he said he could consider the presence of Am erican men of war in Mexican waters SO far distant they were from their base at Galveston, only as a part of an unnecessary effort to impress on Mexico the power of the United States. His personal protest was promptly followed by official repre- sentations and tonight he expressed himself as very much gratified that the requests for the removal of the vessels had been so promptly grant ed"
 Of all the important financial vis- itors to Senor Limantour not. one has vet had single word to say. Weight is attached to a statement issued tonight from the offices of Lodenburg. Thalmann and Co, fiscal agents here for the Mexican govern ment.
 After careful investigation, we can say on the best of authority that the Mexican government feels abso- lutely able to handle its internal dis turbances." the statement says in part. and steps arc being taken not only to dispose of this situation. but the intention exists to carry through cer- tain administrative reforms which should mean much for restoring satis- factory conditions in the interior
