CAPITAL MARINES
ARE OFF FOR WAR
Eighty-Six Men Entrain for
Philadelphia, Whence They
Will Go to Vera Cruz.

Attired in the regulation khaki, the
eighty-six men of the Marine Corps
making up the detachment ordered
from the Washington navy yard and
barracks to Mexico swung their KNAPP
sacks over their shoulders shortly after
$50 o'clock this morning. and began
the journey to the front.
First Lieutenant Wiegman was In
command of the detachment, which en-
trained at the Union Station for Ehila-
delphia at Z o'clock. The detachment
will embark on the MORO Castle for
Vera Cruz with about 100 other marines,
The men from Washington will form
part of the Twenty-first company OF
the Third marine regiment.
Every man of the party was in the
happiest frame of mind at the thought
of seeing service. There were few
tears shed as the trains drew away
from the station. These were from
three wives or SweetheartS- AS the
cars bearing the troops rolled out OF
the station the marines waved their
hats hilariously and yelled 'Gcod-by,
Washington" in chorus.
The Mexican trouble is the chief sub
ject of gossip at Fort Niger, Washing
ton barracks and other army and navy
stations about the city, and service
orders are being eagerly awaited.

LIKELY TO DELAY
TANP|CO SEIZURE
Iuncture of HuertiStaS and
Rebels Would Mean Peril to
United States Forces.

Tamp:co is likely to prove real hor-
nets nest when American marines or
,ther forces attempt to land there. This
vas learned today from unofficial blu;
reliable authority: 1t is said to explain
Why Admiral Mayo had held off from
seizure Of Tampico as long as he has.
The situation points to the rushing OF
endorsements to Tampico.
No less than 5000 and possibly 500
federal troops, armed with modern az
rillery, are said TO be about Tampico.
TO seize the town, Il movement from
Two directions may be needed
II will require a strong force of ma
rines ard seamen, or of troops, to take
and hold the city and vicinity.
horeover-and this is an ominous
phase from a military viewpoint-there
are several thousand constitut!onalists
with Quick-firing guns within twenty
ave or thirty miles of Tampico.
The tone of the Carr2nza note points
TO the possibility OF a junction between
the federal forces at Tampico and con-
sritJtionalists in the vicinity. This
would mel that any small force of
Americans landing at Tampico. might
find itself cut to pieces.
TESnpico is some miles up the river
frtI the coast, and would not be under
the protection of the guns Of the feet
ss effectively as is Vera Cruz
IL is not at all unlikely, under the cir
,umstances, that the seizure of Tampico
will wait on the arrival, not alone OF
additional marines, but also Of troops
from Galveston.

TWO YEARS
OF WAR IN MEXICO
Rebels and Federals Will Both
Fight, Says Head of Cow
dray Interests.

NEW YORK. April 23.-"The United
States is in for a war with Mexico
that will last two or three years. The
rebels and the federals will both fight
US. They won't get together to do it,
but they'll be after us independently,
the Villa Carranza crowd in the north,
and the followers of Huerta and other
bands in the SOUTH
This is the belief OF John Il. Chamber
lain. who returned from Mexico on
the Ward liner Havana, by way OF
Cuba. For several years he has been
superintendent Of the Aguila OIL Com
pany. which is owned by Lord Cowdray,
of England. and has been reckoncd as
among the most prominent and best in
formed Americans in the troubled coun-
try.
Its no place for a white man now"
he continued, and so / have Gene
home with my family to wait Until
things are Strengthened out"
Mr.. Chamberlain was accompanied
by his wife and two-year-old son.
With the party also were Mrs. Fred
erick de Genahl. wife o ia rich haci-
enda owner living near Tampico. and
her two young sons.
THE Intervention Of the United
States in the affairs of Mexico is abb
solutely necessary. Mr.. Chamberlain
declared. 1t has been too long coming
and it cannot now come too soon. Nc
matter who is in power. any one who
has interests down there bust pay
regular tribute TO one band of rob
bers or another. II doesn't matter
which band of robbers. either They
all prey upon legitimate foreign in,
terests.
The rulers of Mexico are a lot OF
cutthroats. bandits, and murderers, anc
there cannot be any peace I'm the coun.
try until they are cleaned out anC
some stable form of government put
into operation. / think every intelli
gent person, of no matter what nation,
ality, would approve of Intervention by
the United States"

BORAH PREDICTS
UNITED MEXICO
Demands Congress Promise to
Withdraw Troops and Leave
Country Alone.
THE HARBOR.

Before another forty-eight hours VIC
will be at war with united Mexico. :
declared Senator Borah, this afternoon,
in urging an amendment TO the bill APP
propriating S50U,0oJ for the bringing OF
American citizens out of that country.
Borah demanded an amendment which
would promise Mexico that the United
States would withdraw from that coun-
try at once and leave it to regulate its
own affairs.
If our present policy is persisted in.
Borah said, it will eventually lead 10
seizure by the United States OF every
foot o. land from here to the Panama
canal / want the Congress to know
that L would regard this as a nations
disaster, as a national crime. We Will
he in contention with the Mexican
forces for so long that We will lose the
habit of Coming out OF that country.
reitcrate that If the flag goes UP in
Mexico 1t will never come down.
We are practically saying that GER
tain persons shall not be candidates for
the presidency of Mexico. IL We are to
continue to encroach upon the sover-
eighty of that republic. we must expect
TO contend with united Mexico ind not
with divided forces.
is Congress to sit silent while such a
war is carried on?
1T is still said that the United States
Is the most cordially hated country in
the world. Is that surprising when our
relations with Latin-America are con-
sidered? Do the people OF the United
States understand that the only govern
ment in Nicaragua Is the one provided
by the United States forces? DO they
suspect that 50 per cent of the people Of
Nicaragua are definitely opposed TO
the kind of government this country
forces them to accept? Do they realize
that almost the same conditions exist
in Honduras? That is the reason. ]
think, II we engage in this war we will
never stop until our flag floats in sover-
eighty from the Rio Grande to the
Panama canal"

While in Shoshone on jury duty. two
weeks ago, the Recorder editor had the
pleasure of delightful visit at the
nome of H. d. Hest, the county attor-
ney Mr. Heist bought the old Joe
Vernon place southwest of town, 40
acres of rock and apparently irredeem-
able desert, and magtificently planned
out unfinished house. He has put the
dig house in ORDER has cleared much of
the land, set it out to orchard and
shrubbery, is raising hundreds and hun
dreds of blooded chickens, waters the
place. from deep well from which the
water is pumped by electricity, and is
making it one of the show places of the
county. OF course, it is a real home
now, for Mr.. Heist was married last
summer, and he and his wife have de-
voted many weary day to planning
and executing the plans for making it
a home.
The Heist place is especially note
worthy in that is being developed from
rock pile and desert that looked to be
impossible of reclamation. A little
work and little imagination has made
it a fine home.
