The country is facing one of the

said Doyle. THE state fire marshals
department of Illinois have united
with the state fire marshals of Ken

out the band of fifteen men at the

head of the fire bug trust is in Kan

"The fire bug problem is one of
me most important which confronts
the country even without the cases
of arson. The fire losses of the
country are appalling. The fire loss
in this country amounts to about
5000 a minute. In Chicago the

According 10 the London reports,
Lloyds was asked TO insure the child

half of this premium, or ten shillings
per cent. should cover any ransom in
case of kidnapping UP to $4,000.
In the proposition it is set forth that
the child be always guarded by three
men when he went out for exercise.

able to summon Mrs. Ford. When
Mrs Ford reached her she was in a

recovered from the nausea and at

First Brigade of Troops to
Start Practice March to
Leon Springs.
(American News Service)

San Antonio, Tex, March 21.-Or-
ders were issued today for the SOL
diers now in tie maneuver camp to
hike on a practice march to Leon
Springs, 26 miles distant. The first
move will be the brigade of Gen. F..
A. Smith. Practice marches for others
will be outlined in few days Smiths
brigade will leave tomorrow morning.
These orders confirm the Washington
dispatches that the soldiers are here
for maneuvers and not with a hostile
purpose in view.
The first brigade to take the field
will consist of the Eleventh, Fifteenth
and Eighteenth regiments Of infantry,
but some significance is attached to
the refusal of Gen. Carter to allow
detachments of cavalry to participate e
in the brigade maneuvers at Leon
Springs. More mobile troops were de-
sired in order that the lesson might
be more effective, but Gen. Carter de-
clined the request on the ground that
he wished to keep the units of his di-
vision intact. To some officers the re-
fusal indicates that division depart
ments are expected to make it mad
visable to break up the cavalry and ar
tillery units.
Machine gun platoons will accom-
pany the infantry. The will remain
on the reservation and shoot at tar
gets while the infantry does tactical
problems.

request of the local chamber of com

Washington, March 21.-There will

the armed forces of the United States
of the semi-official statement issuing
from a source very near the president
is to be relied on. The source, it is

of the heavy financial interests of
Morgan in Mexico, it is presumed
Norton speaks with some authority

mind of the president, not what I,e
thought a few weeks ago while on his
way to Augusta, when he explained to
press representatives the possibilities
that might grow out of the mobiltza-
ton. At that time he made it clear
that it might become necessary to in
tervene to protect American and 9th
er foreign investments in Mexico and
to preserve the Monroe doctrine.

lean border boundary will not leave

DlAZ MADE APPEAL?

New York, March 21.-That Presi-
dent Taft mobilized twenty thousand
United States troops in Texas in re-
sponse to a plea from President Diaz
was the direct charge made here to-
day by Augustus Madero, brother of
the insurrecto leader. He declared
Diaz is tottering to his fall and Gen.
Madero with fifteen thousand men,
was now restraining his forces only to
permit peace negotiations and prevent
further bloodshed. He predicted the
revolution would be settled in three
months or sooner. A truce may be de-
clared April 2, when the Mexican SEN
ate meets. The only proposition the
revolutionists would agree to would
be the retirement of Diaz, A. Madero
said.
