MOBILIZE ARMY
OF UNITED STATES
WAR DEPARTMENT HAS CALLED
UPON POST COMMANDERS TO
BE READY.
TO GUARD MEXICAN BORDER
The Troops Will Be Ready Within
Week to Answer the Hurried Call
to the New Duty That Has Been
Planned For Them.

Washington. - The War Depart
ment's action in calling upon the post
commanders throughout the country
to have their men in state OF prep
aration for immediate service was
result of representations made by the
State Department when the Mexican
situation seemed critical.
Unless the situation becomes Sc
rious. however. and non-combatant
Americans in Mexico afe endangered,
probably only one regiment OF infan-
try with a troop Of cavalry and
battalion OF field artillery will be sent
to join the troops already in the de-
partment Of Texas.
The plans of the general stan Tor
a campaign in Mexico were prepared
long ago and have been in a state
of constant revision. Generally they
contemplate the employment of about
100000 men, 10000 OF whom would
be regulars gathered from all OF the
military departments. Suplementing
these would be $4,000 militiamen.
while the regular troops would be
ready for service within three days
or a week at the outside. II is esti'
mated that thirty days would be re-
quired to assemble and equip the
militia
The official account OF the quelling
of the mutiny at Juarez by General
orozco contained the added informa-
ton that Colonel Estrada was again
relieved of the command of the troops
and placed under arrest. No expiana-
ton was offered as to why the officer,
who was supposed to have been loyal
to Madero, had fallen under Orozcos
displeasure.

Will Get Blu, a Small Share.

Washington.-It was learned here
from a source believed to be entirely
trustworthy, that because of the
wave of economy which has spread
over congress this years river and
harbor bill may be held down to the
old projects and that no new ones
of any kind will be had. This would
probably save the country something
like SlO,00O.000, after the senate
amendments have been added. Much
work now under way would stop,
There does not seem to be any doubt
that even II the cut Is carried to this
extent, the bill will he so small that
many new projects will not be con-
sidered. 1t is impossible to tell yet
what will happen.
