REPUBLICS CONDEMN WAR
IN AMERICAN WATERS

Washington. Dec. 10.-Twenty
nations OF the Western Hemisphere
to-day expressed their disapproval
of the effects of the operation of the
European bolligercnts In the waters
OF the two Americas and appointed
n commission OF diplomats TO form
ulate practical steps contemplating
a more vigorous assertion OF :"
rights of neutrals.
Gathered around n table in the
Pan-American Union Building, the
diplomatic representatives of the
American Republics. most OF them
under specific instructions from
their Governments, urged united ac-
ton by the nations of this hemis-
phere TO restore trade and remove
some of the burdens placed on COM
merce by the European war. Il was
the first international conference OF
neutral nations which had assem-
bled in any part of the globe since
the European war began, and IRE
spectiye OF its possible accomplish
ments during the present conflict,
was regarded as the birth of a new
movement in international law for
the definition of the right of the
neutral as opposed To the right of
the belligerent.

sentence. finishing just as the clock
doomed out the hour of noon.
The sentence of Frank to-day
makes the third time he has been
condemned to die for the murder of
Mary Phagan, and each time the
sentence has been pronounced in a
different courtroom.
The Governor and the Prison
Commission are all that stand now
between Frank and death, unless his
counsel can get the case before the
United States Supreme Court again.
1t is considered very likely that
Governor Slaton will grant respite
in case the contemplated move in
Washington fails, as the refusal of
such a request Is almost without
precedent. The case will be argued
at length before the Prison Commits
sion. This body can recommend
that the sentence of Frank be com
muted to life Imprisonment, or it
can recommend the infection of the
death penalty and advise the Gov
ernor not to interfere.
Franks final fate, however. rests
in the hands of the Governor, who
can defer to the recommendations of
the Prison Commission or not. as he
sees fit.

In No State Are Organ

Deficiency Reaches Serious
Proportions, Says Gen.
Mills In Report.
THE SHORTAGE NEARLY 5000

Washington, Dec. In no State
is the prescribed minimum peace
strength of all organizations of the
organized militia maintained and in
many instances the deficiency has
reached such figure as to leave the
corresponding organizations such in
name organizations of no
value as a military asset to the Fed
eral Government. This is the way
Brig. Gen. A. l.. Mills. Chief of the
Division of Militia Affairs of the
War Department, characterizes the
citizen soldiery of the country in
his annual report to-day.
Ben. Mills points out that his
criticism is entirely impersonal and
is made "for the sole purpose OF set
ting forth an accurate statement of
existing conditions with the view
and in the hope Of leading to u
needed reform" One method OF
providing this reform is to be found,
in Gen. Mills opinion, in the pas
sage OF bill for the compensation
of the militia by the Federal Gov
eminent.
Relying upon the returns OF Adj
jutant Generals of the States. rem
dered at the end OF the last calendar
year. Gen. Mills finds that an exam
nation reveals the fact that the
organized militia as whole is de-
ficient in strength and that this de-
ficiency reaches the serious figure of
nearly 10000 men, or an approx
mate equivalent OF the infantry COM
ponent OF a complete infantry aivis-
ion at war strength.
1T will show that more than 60
per cent. of the infantry and engin-
Ger companies. 20 per cent. of the
cavalry troops, so per cent. of the
coast artillery companies and prac-
tically all of the field artillery bat
teries. are below the prescribed
minimum-and in all cases the for
mer and lower prescribed minimum
is referred to-
At the close of the last fiscal year
the militia consisted of 119,251 en-
listed men and S.792 officers. Due
to the operation of the requirements
of the much controverted Circular
No. s" the enlisted men were In
creased by 1879 over the preceding
year, while there was reduction in
officers numbering 33S.
Circular No. s. sustained by the
legal authorities OF the War Depart
ment, called for the reduction OF the
number of Generals and other high
er officers in the militia to a number
more nearly corresponding with the
total enlisted strength. Gen. Mills
reiterates his plea for the creation
of militia reserves. pointing out the
inevitable delay that would hamper
the country in the event of war. In
obtaining recruits unless a trained
reserve exists from which to supply
the needed increase.

Who Denounces Plan Of
United States.
CHIEF TALKS RATHER SASSY
About It-His Answer Is Civ
en- Through Associated
Press.
TREATS THE MATTER LIGHTLY

Vera Cruz, Dec. 12.-'If the
United States employs force to stop
the firing by Mexicans across the in
ternational boundary line at Naco
1t will be considered an unsriendly
act, Notwithstanding the friendly
motives cloaking the act"
In this manner Gen. Carranza
made answer, In a statement to the
Associated Press. to the formal no
tice served by the United States on
both Provisional President Cutter
req and Gen. Carranza that unless
such firing ceased, force would be
employed to protect American terri
tory.
Carranza's reply to the American
note. which is expected to reach
Washington tomorrow, will be in
s. neral u Reputation OF responsible
'ly for any shots that have crossed
the line and clearly sets forth that
intervention at Naco as hostile and
unfriendly act.
At no time since the receipt of
Secretary Bryan's note, in which at
tention was called to the repeated
wounding and killing OF residents of
the town on the northern side of the
line, has Gen. Carranza appeared
perturbed, but he has had long con-
ferences with those close to him,
and in framing his reply. it is said.
he has been careful not to let him
self remain in any uncertain light.
Gen. Hill, who is commanding
the Constituencies forces at Naco,
is on the defensive continued Gen.
Carranza, and since his back was
to the line, it Is difficult to see how
he could be responsible for the fir
ing in question. The fact is that
Maytorena's men have been the at
lacking party, and, therefore. 1t ap-
pears reasonably clear that they, and
only they. could have been to blame
las matter of fact. do not
know that the rights OF American
citizens have been violated. II
seems to me that il would be we'll
for the State Department to investi-
gate this question in order to fix the
responsibility.
II remember similar instances at
Ell Paso when the Maderista forces
were attacking there. In that case
those shot We're for the most part
the imprudent and curious individ-
uals who fiocked to witness the
fighting. as If it had been a spectac-
.ular show staged for their benefit.
AS to the use of force, of which
Mr.. Bryan talks. that is something
the gravity of which fear he does
not fully appreciate. He says II
would not mean an invasion of our
territory nor violation of our ma
tional sovereignty. 1t would And
moreover II would certainly be an
act directly against the Constitu-
tionalists who now hold the town,
and in favor of the villistas. who
would be left free to continue their
operations. 1t would be simply ty-
ing Gen. Hills hands and leaving
Maytorena free.
81 sincerely hope that the good
friendship OF the American people
towards the Mexican people will
prevent the contamination of secre-
tary Bryan's threat"
