When a high official was asked the
purpose Of sending these troops, he re.
piled, We'll, they are not going fish.

Two significant facts relating to the
hurry orders are these:
First-That the order for the add.
tional troops followed the C~arranza
statement to Secretary Bryan that any
use Of force by the United States, such
as firing across the border, would be
regarded as a hostile act.
Second-That the troops which are
being hurried to Naco will make the
United States forces equal to combined
forces Of Gen. Maytorena. in command
for Villa and Gen. Hill. within the
town, in command for Gen. Carran2a.
There will be 5000 soldiers on each
side Of the line.
The troops which have been desig,
mated to go to Naco are the following:
The Eleventh, Eighteenth and Twenty
second regiments of infantry now at
Texas City, and Batteries A, B and c,
Of the Fifth Field Artillery, stationed
at Fort Sill, Okla.
Orders went out a little after !
o'clock to Gen. Thomas F. Davis, who
will command the re-enforcements, to
have the troops fully equipped and
with ten days supplies, at least. They
are to carry searchlights and IL ma
chine guns and 1t is noted that bat
teries A and B are commands which
carry howitzers for long.range firing

! marily with the attitude in which he
would be placed If ordered to take de

other side by a vastly superior force
These officers called attention again tc
the statements they made that the
reply Of Gen. Carranza to the State De
partment was very disturbing and that
II Gen. Bliss sent a shell across the Dor
der 1T would mean war According
to these officers, what Carranza means
"by an act Of hostility" is that If the
! president Uses force the effect would
be the same as declaring wal against
Carranza," they think that Gen. Bliss
early learned what Carranza had stat
ed to Secretary Bryan and that this
news spread through Naco and into the
Mexican lines, which are only across
the main street of that town on Its
Mexican side.

SAFETY FIRST CONFERENCE
The University Of Nevada, Reno
Nevada, January 81, 1914.

The University Of Nevada, Reno,
Nevada, January 81, 1914.
To the Editor:-
The first Safety First conference
OF the University of Nevada is the
pioneer work of an educational in
stitution in this field and the Uni
versity feels justly prouA in the
new capacity of serving the people
Of the State in yet another way.
This Safety First idea occurred
first to Mr.. Ralph c. Richards of
the Chicago, Northwestern Rail-
road. Through Mr.. Richards work
as a beginning this magnificent
movement to protect human life
has grown in leaps and bounds.
The Safety First Conference at the
University Of Nevada is growing
larger every day, everyone being
intensely interested in this subject.
Letters are coming in from rail-
way presidents, department heads,
