Chicago, Dec. s.~-The discovery OF
u revolutionary method of treating
steel by which II is made several times
the strength of the present product
was announced before the National
Academy Of Sciences today by Prof.
A. A. Michaelson. winner two years
ago of the Nobel prize for physical re-
search work. Professor Michaelson
explained the new steel which he said
would revolutionlze warfare by maxi
ing Notifications as well as ammuni-
tion many times stronger than at
present. The new steel would ad-
vance peaceful projects, he said. by
permitting the erection of slSyscrapers
to heights never yet undertaken and
the construction of greater suspension
bridges than have heretofore been
possible.
Demonstrating, Professor Michael
son took bar of the new steel and
twisted it almost to the breaking
point. Two Kilograms of force. he
said, were used in the experiment. He
laid the bar aside and in few minutes
repeated the twisting beyond the for
mer breaking point. Instead of
the bar withstood an appi-
cation of three Kilograms of power,
that the first experiment
and the elapsed time had given the
metal increased resistance. Four
times the experiment was completed
and each time greater application
Of force was withstood. Professor
said the process might be
carried ON until steel tools and appli-
ances might be made that would be
indestructible.

Washington. Dec. S.-prcsidcnt
Wilson after a brief discussion with
his cabinet today. directed Secretary
Garrison to order sufficient troops to
Naco. Ariz., to handle any emergen-
cies that might arise there In connec-
tion with the firing across the Ameri-
can border from Mexican territory.
Secretary Garrison later announced
that he he had ordered Brig. Gen.
Tasker II. Bliss to start for Naco
with three batteries OF field artillery
and await further orders"
No cavalry In addition to that al
ready patrolling the Arizona border
has been ordered to the international
line. according TO MIR. Garrison.
Diplomatic Side Involved.
The secretary declined to discuss
what might be termed the dlplo-
matte side OF the case. referring in
quiries 10 the state department. Sec
retary Bryan had retired when tho
army orders became public. but II Is
known that today's action followed
the exchange of kilograms between
the federal government and Governor
Hunt of Arizona, In which the latter
described the firing across the line as
a serious menace TO residents Of Ari-
zona.
II is understood that when the telc-
grams from Governor Hunt were laid
before the cabinet the president also
directed Secretary Bryan 10 transmit
a warning through American eonsuls
to both Mexican factions fighting near
the boundary that firing into Ameri-
can territory must be discontinued.
Soldiers 10 stand Guard
While the outcome OF such negotia-
tions as will be conducted through the
state department Is awaited. the ar
tillery and cavalry of the American
army Will stand guard ready to carry
out any orders which may develop
from the conference with the Mexi-
can chiefs
The forces of General BENJAMIN
Hin, loyal to Carranza, are ranged
close to the line while those Of Gov
ernor Maytorena, supposed to be a
follower OF General villa but often
reported as Independent of his au-
thority, constitute the attacking force.
In Earnest This Time.
Repeated warnings have been given
to the two generals to so conduct their
operations as to prevent bullets from
falling ON American territory. The
ordering of field artillery to the scene
to cooperate With the Ninth cavalry
already IN position at Naco was gem
orally interpreted as intended to DEM
to the Mexican forces that
serious consequences might follow IL
The firing into American territory is
continued.
The sending Of General Bliss to

was regarded as denoting |

wherein the Washington government !
