"GET BACK OF WILSON,"
CAUTIONS JOHN BARRETT
Head of Pan-American Union Cites
Dangers of War with
Mexico.

Chicago. Dec. "a billion dollars in
three years; thousands of American lives;
loss of friendship of every Latin-Ameri-
can country, and disaster to the trade
value of the Panama Canal. These were
cited today by John Barrett as conditions
which will result if the United States
tries to conquer Mexico. Mr.. Barrett is
Director General of the Pan-American
Union. He urged that the whole Ameri-
can people get back of wilson in his
waiting policy, and told why any other
attitude may bring disaster in many
ways.
The war experts at Washington tell
me that we cannot go into Mexico for
cent less than $1.O0O.OOO a day" said Mr..
Barrett. This would be $1,O0o, 900 900 in
three years. Armed intervention would
unite every Latin-American country, let
alone every Mexican against us. We
could not be beaten. That is conceded,
but the guerrilla warfare that would go
on for months and even years would
cost as much or more than decisive
battles.
THE American people must support
President Wilson in his policy, or be
ashamed of the consequences ever after.
my intimate association with all Latin
America l can assure the people that it
is practically the only policy which will
not disrupt the friendly relations be-
tween the United States and her sister
republic, which are fast becoming of vast
trade value to ALL"

SENATE TODAY FIXES
HOUR FOR MEETINGS
Resolution of Senator Kern Calls for
Night Sessions Lasting Until
ii O'clock.

1t is likely that the Senate will. vote
today on Senator Kern's resolution fixing
the hour for daily. meeting Of the Senate
at 10 o'clock and providing for night ses-
sions lasting until II o'clock. After the
resolution had been discussed yesterday
until all OF the morning hour had been
consumed and the unfinished business,
the Hetch Hetchy bill. was laid before
the Senate, Senator Gallinger suggested
that vote ought to be taken on the reso-
luton today.
Efforts looking to an agreement for
bate on the currency bill and take a vote
were blocked by disagreement between
the Republicans and the Democrats as to
the date. Democratic Senators were will
ing to agree to take a vote on any date
not later than December q. but the Re
publicans seemed unwilling to agree to
any date before Christmas.
An acrimonious debate on the merits
Of the resolution and on the merits of
the respective currency bills continued
for more than an hour. Senator Gallinger
was the principal speaker for the Repub-
leans He charged the Democratic lead
ers with unfairness in seeking to pre-
vent fair discussion of the bill. Senators
Owen insisted that the Republicans were
working for delay and that but for their
tactics the bill would be law
already.
The Republican leaders disclosed their
plan to force the attendance OF a quorum
At all times when they demanded the
presence Of a quorum twice within fifteen |
minutes.

VILLA LEAVES FOR.
FRONT AT THE HEAD
OF REBEL TROOPS

Juarez. Mex, Dec. S.-Gen. Villa and
his headquarters staff left for the front
at o'clock tonight. The escort consisted
o: 1000 cavalry. Three troop trains, car
rying 900 cavalry, preceded the head
quarters train.
Gen. Villa told the multitude which
gathered to bid him good bye that he
was going directly to Chihuahua and that
he would be- there tomorrow night.
Every one of the loo or more cavalry
horses of his escort on the troop train
was saddled and bridled. and every man
from Villa to the last private was
armed, carried blankets, and food sup
plies for three days, and slept on the
roofs Of the cars carrying the saddled
horses.
1t is believed that Villa expects that
he may be able to overtake and surround
the fleeing federals, most Of whom are on
foot, and that he will leave the railroad
at a point north of Villa Ahumada with
a force of men sufficiently large enough
to Overwhelm the fugitives.

DEMOCRATS IN
SENATE GRILLED
Progressives Have Fun with
Them Over Presidential
Primary Plan.
STARTED BY BRISTOW
Asks that Bills Covering the Matter,
introduced Early in Last Session,
Be Endorsed.

Republican progressives yesterday had
! lot OF fun with Democratic Senator's
when they called up President Wilson's
recommendations for Presidential pref
erence primary and begun to prod them
as to when they would report such a
measure to the Senate. It is no secret
that the plan of the President always
has been unpopular among Democrats Of
the Senate. Any bill even indirectly
pointing in that direction has been
smothered to death and Progressives
keenly enjoyed themselves by putting
these opponents Of the President on the
grill.
Senator Bristow started the discussion
by reading that portion of the annual
message dealing with the subject, and
telling the Senate the idea was copied
from the Kansas State primary law. 81
am fully appreciative of the Presidents
Endorsement of the Kansas law, the first
of its kind to be enacted by any State"
said Senator Bristow.
Then he aroused Senator Martin. of
Virginia, by recalling the fact that he
CBristow) had introduced a bill in the
last Congress providing for a Presi-
dental primary in the District exactly
on the Presidents plan, but that II had
been defeated in committee by the Vir-
ginia Senator.
In Entire Accord.
Senator Martin replied that that bill
was purely local and not general in
character. Tine Democratic party is in
entire accord with the tituIar head and
the actual head of the Democratic
party" retorted Senator Martin with
some warmth.
Senator Bristow. backed up by Sem
ator Cummins, suggested that the best
way OF showing this happy unison Of
purpose would be by indorsing bills in |

fore the Presidents plan had been |

While the Democrats, with the excep- \
ton OF Senator Martin, sat silent under 4,
the prodding OF the Progressives, Sena- |
tors Gallinger and Sherman were the /
1nly ones to speak in opposition to the
plan.
1.-THE primary system" said the New
Senator, gives too great an
advantage to rich men over the poor. 1t
makes bribery too easy a weapon for
hem. As a Progressive conservative, / I
sincerely trust that the Presidents sugges-
ion will not find a Judgment in the hearts
II the legislators of this country, and
hat we shall never be subjected to such

Senator Sherman spoke at length. He
opposed obllterating State lines, either in
primaries or elections. He opposed
in politics. and pro-
,eeded to extend a lot Of advice to his
Democratic colleagues.

MINORITY LEADER
PREDICTS WAR
Representative Mann Sees in
Hay Bill Hostilities with
Mexico.
CITES PARALLEL CASE.
illinois Member Recalls History Of
Events Leading to Spanish
Troubles.
CITES PARALLEL CASE

James R. Mann, the Republican leader
of the House, yesterday declared in the
course of debate that war between the
United States and Mexico is inevitable
and that the President is making ar
rangements accordingly. The fact that
the Democrats allowed this statement to
go unchallenged added to its significance.
Mr.. Mann's prophecy of war with Mex
leo came as a surprise and created deso
impression in the House It added to the
Importance of bill called up by Repre-
sentative James Hay, of Virginia, chair
man of the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, and later passed, authoriz-
ing the President to raise volunteer forces
IN time of actual or threatened war;
Mr.. Mann said solemnly that the Hay
Dill was part Of the plan of the govern
Hlent TO get itself in readiness for war
with Mexico, and, although he repeated
the statement time and again, none of
the Democratic spokesman of the admin
lstrauon made reply. From the moment
met Mr. Mann took part in the debate
interest in the proceedings was enliv-
ened, and the volunteer army" bill was
passed by unanimous vote. Predicting
war with Mexico, Mr.. Mann said:
DO not see any escape from chaos and
anarchy in Mexico under the plan which
We are now pursuing. OF course il that
runs very long it means war"
senate TO Act Early.
The Hay bill. which provides for a
volunteer army to be raised in the dis
erection of the President, now goes to
the Senate. 1t was said that that body
will take immediate action on the
measure.
Mr.. Mann suggested that the appear |
ance of the Hay bill on the day follow |
ing President Wilson's public discussion |
of the Mexican situation in his message |
was significant.
The Hay bill contemplates the organ |
ization of a volunteer army of 5O2 900 men. !
This army,sswith the regular and militia |
forces recruited to the maximum. would |
enable the United States to put SO2. 900 |
men in the field at short notice. 1t also
provides system of training and officer
me volunteer forces. Section Of the
Dill requires Organiza lions of volunteer
units to be the same as corresponding
units Of the regular army.
Chairman Hay will not admit that the
present activities of his committee are
inspired by the administration.
