ROME, April 1.-The latest opinion

a storm of criticism and abuse through

OF ADJUTANTS GENERAL
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

w WASHINGTON, d. c., April L.
M Despite denials from the war
wv department, it became known
tonight that actual prepara-
tions are in progress for the invasion
of Mexico should the revolutionary
army now marching on Mexico City
menace the lives and property of
American citizens.
Members of congress, advised Of the
seriousness of the situation in Mexico,
are endeavoring to put through bill
authorizing the employment of state
militia outside the United States. Rep
resentative !. S. Pepper of Iowa,
member of the house military affairs
commission, introduced an amendment
to the existing law permitting the use
of state militia outside this country
at today's session of the house.
Bill for Volunteers 1
In the senate Senator Henry A. Du-
pont of Delaware, chairman of the
military affairs committee of the up
per branch, has introduced volunteer
bill providing a flexible method for
raising volunteer troops and for pro-
viding officers for such troops. His
bill makes it certain that there will
be no confusion in the raising of the
volunteer troops.
Attorney General Wickersham has
advised the president and the secre-
tary of war that the state militia can
not be used outside the United States
under the existing laws. and 1t was
to remedy this defect that Representa-
tive Pepper introduced his bill today.
Already the secretary of war has
called for reports from the officers of
the various state militia with details
as to how each state would move its
troops to Mexico.
