I do not | believe it will he necessary to have !, authorization from congress for such 1 & move" i Numbers of the senate committed ! on foreign relations were apprised of l the administrations plans by Senator Shively, acting chairman. and Sen ator Lodge. ranking republican mem- { Der of the committee, who conferred 1 with the president early in the day. The possibilities of the situation were considered, the conclusion being that the United States must enforce Admiral MayO's demand that MeXi- co.'s federal forces salue the flag. no matter what the consequences may De. It was pointed out by members of the committee that the authority of congress to land armed forces in Mexico constitutes a practical dec laration of war and that a. formal declaration of war probably will not be made in any event. because this nation recognizes no formal govern ment in Mexico.
 Some in congress held the view that tht latest view of the United States toward Mexico means actual intervention and that this govern ncnt will proceed, despite reparation for past insults, to blockade ports on both coasts. that the Rio Grande border forces will be augmented by , powerful endorsements, and a cam paign begun to force an end to Huerta and the establishment of q , Mexican government which will com , mand recognition by the United , States.
 Tt is ridiculous for anyone to think" Senator Shively said after q D conference with President Wilson, that the United States in this move , 1 toward Mexico is bluffing The time . for temporihing has ended, and the , patience of this government is ex- f hausted We are for peace, but not , for peace at the sacrific Of the dig n nity of the nation"
 q Few discordant notes were sounded in congress today. Representative n Mendell of Wyoming charged that the il president sought to use the Atlantic II fleet to enforce the mandates of his n personal prejudiees against Huerta if Representative Bartholdt of Mis- ,t souri. asserted that the refusal of Huerta to salute the flag win twen : ty-one guns should not precipitatc 1 sacrifice of American life Senator . Works of California issued state Is ment criticizing the attitude Of the administration.
 , Moro information describing the ar. rest of the American bluejackets al Talnp:co was revealed in the days conferences at the White House. II was learned authoritatively that th, party of blue jackets from the Dol phin went ashore with Assistant Pay master Copp 10 get gasoline and sup. plies.

 The first two of the demands wer
