OFFICERS CHOSEN
TO SEE WAR GAME
District List Will Be Submit
ted Monday or
Tuesday.

According 20 Lieut.. Col. s f. Smiley.
Adjutant General of the District Ma
tional Guard, the regimental command
Crs will report to him either today or
Monday the names of the officers they
desire to have sent to the Mexican Dor
der to observe the maneuvers" of the
regular army.
As soon as they are received Colonel
Smiley and Gen. George II. Harries will
canvass the list and determine whether
they desire TO make any amendments
either by Withdrawing or adding some
names. The list decided upon will be
sent TO the War Department with the
approval Of these officers.
1t was explained by Colonel Smiley
this morning that no action had been
taken sooner because none of the Off
GERS will go before inspection. The in
spections of the guard will Last from
April to Il. Colonel Smiley said it
was possible that some captains In the
guard will be detailed TO service there.
We do not expect to send any officer
for less Than two weeks actual service
in Texas" said the Colonel That
means an absence Of at least nineteen
days from the city, and we have given
the regimental commanders this much
time TO present their recommendations
in order that the officers could find out
whether they could secure leaves of alb
senCe from their regular work for that
Long a time"

TROOPS HELD READY
FOR FIELD SERVICE
Recruits at San Antonio
Drilling Long Hours
Daily.

SAN ANTONIO. Texas. March 1s.-Or-
ders were issued today to brigade and
regimental commanders to prepare the
division for instant field service under
actual war conditions.
The first maneuver division came to
San Antonio on less than a peace foot
ing. scarcely 5000 trained men arriving
with the regimental organization. Re
Cruits have been rushed into the ranks
until today the division numbers 12,0O0.
These 1900 recruits are absolutely un-
trained. They do not yet know how to
handle rife. But they have been put
through the most rigid course of in
struction recruits ever encountered,
spending from six to eight hours daily
learning the rudiments Of drill.
Major General Carter today instructed
regimental commanders to send their
recruits to the rife range at Leon
Springs, Tex, twenty-five miles away,
for rife practice and instruction in work
ing and caring for the Springfields. This
is never done in peace times.

Diaz Will Refuse to
Treat With Maderists,
Is De La Barra'S Belief

The Diaz administration will not sub
NIT to a reelection, neither will its Off
cials treat in any way with the Made
rist party, which is back of the revolu-
ton in that country. This is the only
inference that can be drawn from a
statement made today by Ambassador
de la Barra when asked the question
point blank.
Il cannot be quoted either as denying
or affirming that the Diaz administra
tion will treat in any way with the sedi-
tious party" said Senior de la Barra- Il

ternational relations with the United
States. This affair is purely internal
However, the election of General Dia8
to the presidency was conducted regu-
larly and according to the articles Of
the Mexican constitution. Since General
Diaz was elected under these conditions,
il is the will of the people that he
should be their president, and there is
no need for another election. The goT-
ernment will soon have the situation in
hand and will restore peace.
The suggestion of another election
vas made again today I'm another state
ment issued by DR.. VasQuez Gomez, as
the Washington representative OF Gen.
Francisco Madero, provisional president
of Mexico.

Students Protest Thai
Ad Pictures Demora1ize

CHICAGO. March 1S.-Is the printing
Of a cigarette advertisement in the
Daily Northwestern demoraliziRg to
male students of university?
II so, is the printing of a picture of a
mans bare leg incased in a patented
garter equally demoralizing to the girl
students7
Yes, is the emphatic answer to this
latter question by 200 signers of a pc
tition recently circulated. Both ques-
hons are being discussed by the student
body of Northwestern University at
Evanston.
The removal OF the cigarette adver-
tisement meant $3.50 less income to the
Daily Northwestern. Business Manager
Hav1land said the paper could not be
printed unless the S150 was taken in.
7 The second petition was signed by 125
girls.

Pope's Reply to Alfonso
Kills Compromise Hopes

MADRID. March ls.-Hope of a COM
promise in the dispute between the
Spanish government and the Vatican
was dispelled today by King Alfonso $
receipt of a positive refusal of. the Pope
to renew friendly relations unless all
measures affecting the Catholic church
in Spain are first submitted to the Vati-
can for approval.
The reply was submitted to Premier
Canalejas, who urged that a rigid anti

fope, be begun at once. Alfonso, how
ever, is reluctant to abandon the efforts

QUESTIONS WISDOM
OF ARMYMOVEMEN
Capt J. A. T. Hull Scouts Japan War Talk, and Hints
Financiers Inspired Show of Force on the
Mexican Border.

Hull saw hard service in the civil war
and was wounded in the charge al
Black river bridge In the Vicksburg
campaign Of 1863. He speaks as a man
having practical knowledge Of military
operations in addition to the compre-
hensive acquaintance with the army he
gained as chairman Of the Military At
fairs Committee.
Il am inclined to think that II our
troops cross the Mexican border" said
he, both the Diaz followers and fhe
insurrectos will turn against U.S. We
VIII have them both to fight. And the
Mexicans have improved in recent years.
Conditions will not be the same as n
1876. I doubt II 5000 OF our troops could
whip 5000 of theirs. as was the case
when Taylor and Scott campaigned
against them. It would be a long and
costly experience"
Captain Hull is extremely skeptical
about this country being justified ir
crossing the border and Intervening
merely because financial interests may
find their property endangered. He
thinks only a very grave condition Of
things would justify action on this ac-
count. Nor is he enthusiastic about in
tervention because foreign nations may
be alarmed about the property Of their
subjects.
Debt Collectors.
He says il we are going to construe
the Monroe doctrine as meaning that
we must be the debt collectors for the
rest of the world outside OF Latin Amer
lea, then we will be saddled with end
less trouble and expense.
"Can President Taft move the troops
into Mexico without action by Con-
gress?"
The President" replied Captain Hull.
cannot declare war but he can start
war. II he believes the gravity of
conditions warrants II, he can order our
troops across the borders That will
mean war, though II will not be a dec
laration OF war He can then put the
matter up TO Congress afterwards.'
The mobilization of troops will mean
that the President will have to ask a
deficiency appropriation Of Congress, in
Captain Hulls opinion. He says there
will be no escape from It. He point ed
out that, while in theory II costs no more
to support troops in Texas than some
where else vet as a matter OF fact "
would be found to cost more. Trans
portation Of men, freight on supplies
and the like will swell the expense. he
says.
The mobilization was well carried out.
in Captain Hulrs opinion. He SAYS the
chief dra awback so far as he can judge
was lack Of prompt transportation.
CAPTAIN Hull said the National Guard
could be called into service only in case
Of war.
The Washington times., 1911-03-18

That the sudden mobilization Of 10000
troops in Texas, in close proximity to
| the Mexican border, is a serious busi-
ness, is the>opinion expressed by former
Representative John A. r. Hull Of Iowa,
long chairman OF the House Committee
on Military Affairs, and one of the best
Informed men in Washington on all
matters pertaining to the army and Its
relations to Congress.
Mr. Hull says he knows nothing as to
the reasons for the movement of troops,
nor does he criticise that movement
He believes that II President Taft can
show Congress that conditions existed
which warranted the mobilization order,
then Congress and the country will
stand by him. At the same time, he
thinks the country wants no war, and
will be critical of any ENHANCEMENT un-
less II is convinced there Is sound reason
for it.
The idea that this is a demonstration
in any way related to Japan Is not
taken with much seriousness by Cap
tain Hull.
Not Alarmed at Japan.
"I do not believe this movement Is
aimed at Japan" said he. II believe
that when we concluded the treaty with
Japan one large cause Of possible trou-
BILE was removed for a good while to
come. 1t ioccurs to me, too. that with
Russia moving troops in the direction of
the Chinese border, Japan will be occu-
pied watching things in that direction.
She Is much more concerned over the
course Russia takes in that territory
than she is over the United States.
81 do not believe trouble Is at al.
imminent between US and Japan. Fur
thermore, the mobilization Of a small
body of troops like. this would mean
nothing If it in any way related to
Japan. II We are to have trouble with
Japan, which 1 do not expect. II will
come before we finish the Panama canal.
Moreover, the preparations for the
movement on Japan's part will be
secret, and the blow will fall suddenly.
japan can land troops at number Of
places in California II she wants to.
Ard against the force that, Japan could
land 20 OOO troops would be only a skir-
miSh line. Japan does not need TO select
Mexico as a base Of operations against
the United States. And for that reason,
I am not inclined TO lay much stress on
the talk that Japan has anything TO
do with the movement"
Has Significance.
But a movement OF American troops
into Mexico is not to be taken lightly,
in Captain HulIs opinion. 1t may be
said in this connection that Captain
