BRIG.GEN. TASkER H. BLISS OR DERED TO WACO TO PROTECT
 AMERICAN INTERESTS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-Pres Wilson, af- ter a brief discussion with his cabi- net, Tuesday directed Secretary Gar rison to order sufficient troops to Ma that might arise Tn connection with the firing across the American border from Mexican territory.
 Secretary Garrison later announced that he had ordered Brig. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss to start for Naco with three batteries Of field artillery and await further orders"
 This action followed the exchange of telegrams between the federal govern ment and Governor Hunt of Arizona, in which the latter described the fir ing from the Mexican factions across the line as a serious menace to resi- dents of Arizona.
 It is said President Wilson directed Secretary Bryan to transmit warn ing through American consuls to both boundary that firing into American territory must be discontinued.
 The forces of Gen. Benjamin Hill, loyal to Carranza, are ranged clore to the line, while those of Governq Y l. torena, supposed to be a folif 5f General Villa, but often repofted as independent Of his authority, c0nsti- ute. the attacking forces.
 Repeated warnings have been given to he two generals to so conduct their operations as to prevent bullets from falling on American territory.
 The sending of General Bliss to take charge of the situation is regard ed here as denoting the anticipation of a delicate and critical situation.
 While General Bliss would not dis cuss the situation, officers at Fort Sam Houston thoroughly familiar with con ditions along the border, declare the situation never looked more desperate for American intervention or Amer1- can invasion.

Washington.-The issues of nation be placed squarely before the House of Representatives as result of ac- tion taken by the House Rules Com mittee Committee when it decided to report special rules for the consider ation of constitutional amendments on both subjects. Incidentally the committee puts an end to all hope of an extended holiday recess.
 Representative Henry, chairman Of the Rules Committee, asserted the rule on the Hobson prohibition reso- lution will be presented and pressed to vote December 22. The suffrage resolution, he said, will follow imme- diately.
 It is believed Democratic leaders plan to limit the Christmas holidays to two or three days.
 Prohibition and suffrage supporters immediately began to line up their forces
 Representative Henry declared he WOuto fOlc UOIll Ol Ll0 pIO- posed amendments.
 It is predicted the suffrage amend ment will be unable to secure the nec- essary two-thirds vote in the house, and opponents of the prohibition measure expressed confidence that it will be defeated.
 AS framed by Representative Hob son, the prohibition bill would pro- hibit the sale, manufacture or importa- tion and eXportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes in the United States and all territory sub- ject to the jurisdiction thereof for ever"
 The suffrage amendment would de- clare that the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be de- nied or abridged on account of sex.
