General Roy t. Vaudercook of the
Michigan National Guard was hastily
summoned to Washington yesterday,
and left on the first train after the re-
ceipt of his telegram from General
Mills in charge OF the national guard
division of the war department.
only one construction can be placed
upon this action of the war depart
ment by local military men, That is
that General Mills wants to know just
what condition the Michigan National
Guard is in relative TO a quick move
mcnt. and ne wants to know first hand.
They are rather expecting, therefore,
that within the next two or three days
the order may come for a movement of
Michiga ntroops.
Before he left for Washington, Major
Vandercook and Brigadier General
John p. Kirk chief of staff held a con-
ference. Major Nandercool announced

manders of the various companies
throughout the state have been advis-
ed to begin quiet recruiting in prepar-
alton to meet "a call to arms.

MARCH ON THE MEXICAN CAPITAL
WOULD Be THE NEXT j. s. STEP

A large army would have to be landed
at Vera Cruz, which would have To be
converted into a vast military base and
supply depot.
An army having been assembled, the
2O0-mile march to Huertas capital
would begin along the railway. De-
tachments would have to be dropped
every few miles to guard the tracks
which would become the army's lane of
communication with its base. So that
the actual lighting force would dwin-
die as IL moved, and if Gen. Leonard
Wood reached the Mexican capital
with 10000 fighters he would do well.
Meanwhile Admiral Fletcher is taxi
ing the usual military precautions to
hold Vera Cruz safely. Reports that
parties of marines are marching In
land merely means that he is occupy
ing the roads and approaches to the
seaport with strong outposts to guard
against a surprise.
Gen. Mas is Is miles to the south
west astrde the railway with 500 men
and IL is not likely he will attempt to
recapture the city under the guns of a
powerful fleet which could decimate
his force at seven miles range even
II he were reinforced by Huerta' which
is unlikely.

SIX WARSH|PS
ARE HELD UP;
men LACKING
Startling Conditions Revealed.
$500 Sailors Are Needed

Milwaukee, April 2S.-That six more
United States warships that should
have been sent to Mexico are being
held up on the Pacific coast by lack
of men, and that the navy needs at
least $500 more sailors for immediate
service. was the startling declaration
of Franklin b. Roosevelt, assistant
secretary of the navy, who passed
through Milwaukee on his way home
from the Pacific coast.
incidentally Mr.. Roosevelt, although
a high administration official, did not
try to conceal the fact that he empha-
tically differs from President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan as to the ques-
tion of peace or war.
II do not want war, but | do not see
how We can avoid it," he said, thus
summing up what is said to be the
prevailing opinion in Washington.
Preparations on Coast.
During the ten minutes that the
"Olympian," the through train from
Seattle to Chicago, stopped at the Union
station Mr.. Roosevelt talked war from
the observation car platform, while
Mrs, Roosevelt who has been his
companion i'm the west paced the sta
ton platform.
sWe need more men i'm the navy"

he explained ito complete preparations

I'VE have already sent several war
ships into southern waters, but we
have six more ready To go as soon as
we can get the men to sail them. We

BelIigerent Spirit Sessions.
The strongly belligerent spirit, man.
ifest among "a considerable group in
congress, headed by some of the more
prominent Democrats, has been tom
ed for the time being, by the media
tion negotiations for the solution Of
the Mexican problem undertaken by
the three South American govern
ments.
Leaders Of this element had not
hesitated TO say among themselves
that at least 100 members had ex-
pressed themselves in favor of moro
aggressive action toward Mexico by
the administration.
Even some of the members Of the
foreign affairs committee privately
subscribed to the idea that the govern
ment could not long withhold either
an onward march To Mexico City. for
the protection of the American citizens
represented be imperiled, or to make
straight cut declaration or war.
Among some of the house members,
too. there was a disposition to criti-
cize the president for not consulting
with the real leaders of congress.
Officials now realize that even
though the first efforts of the South
American envoys may not be sue
cessful the means Of communication
which it opens for the discussion OF
peace at any future time will be in
valuable
