To Protect Americans

The troops, the 9th and 18th regi-

the request of Senator Sheppard and
Rep. Garner. The latter told the
President there was a large amount
of money in the border banks and
that Americans wanted to be protect
ed against any sudden raid or inva
sion which might result from sensa-
tional developments at any time in the
Mexican situation. Mr. Garner also
said that many cattle had disappeared
recently and border residents believed
Mexicans were responsible. The re-
quest for additional troops was made
Monday; was discussed at the cab
met meeting, and decided upon late
today by the President, who commu-
nicated his approval to the secretary

MOBILIZATION IS UNLIKELY
Possibility Of Union of FederaIs and
Rebels Against United States
Discussed-Thines Pre-
venting 1t.

Washington, April 21.-In the event
that the strained relations existing
between the United States and Mex.
dent and other Huertaist indignities
should force the administration to de-
eide ultimately upon a policy of in
tervention and invasion, what kind
of an army or armies would the Unit
ed States be called upon to face.
Very Pertinent Questions.
What would be the actual strength
Of the forces the Mexican dictator
probably would be able to muster?
What of the possibility of the union
of Federal and Constitutionalists for
the common purpose of repelling the
invaders?
These questions, frequently asked
and variously answered, have taken
on a significance which the present
crisis renders important.
Huerta repeatedly has declared that
he already has 10000 men in the
field and could easily swell the total
to zoe, ZOO within a short time. Villa,
the victorious rebel chieftain, on his
part, has repeatedly boosted that the
constitutionalist forces closely APP
proximated 100,
Forces Far OVerestimated.
Actual estimates of the United
States government, however, reveal
the fact that Huerta at present has a
uniformed force of not more than 40
900 men. while the combined forces
Of all the rebel chieftains now oper-
ating in the w~ar-cursed republic do
not exceed $4,000.
This means that there are in Mex
ico today approximately $4,000 armed
men, almost equally divided between
the rebels and the so-called Huerta
government.
Just what effect actual invasion of

thorities, however, agree that the mo-
bilization of Mexico's maximum fight

adequate, have been materially Grip
pied through the destruction of rail
roads and bridges. The movement of
troops, consequently, would be serious
ly handicapped.
1t also has been pointed out by men
conversant with conditions in the re-
volt-ridden republic that a large part
of the present fighting strength Of
the forces of all factions in Mexico
has been recruited forcibly.
The possibility remains, therefore,
that many of these men would secret
ly, at least, welcome release from en-
forced military service.

ROADS TO LOWER FARES MAY |
TO CONFORM WITH LONG AND
SHORT HAUL LAW.
Only Five Per Cent of Changes viii
Show Increases Rest
Decreases.

Washington, April II. Readjust
ment of passenger rates on all inter-
state railroads in the United States in
conformity with the long and short
haul provision of the law, under or
ders of the interstate commerce COM
mission will become effective on May
J.. The new tariffs filed by the roads
with the commission indicate a mate
rial reduction in fares, particularly
from important terminals and rate
basing points to intermediate points.
1t is estimated by officials of the
commission, after an analysis of the
tariffs, that "95 per cent of the chang
es in fares will be reductions" and
five per cent increases. Such advances
as are made are between terminals
or basing points and in such instances
the increases are made only when the
tariff to intermediate points is so great
as to affect seriously the of
the roads.
Soon after the enactment of the
long and short haul provision, the
commission ordered the carriers to
readjust their passenger fares in con-
formity with that principle. At the
request of the roads the commission
postponed the effective date of it's
order pending a decision in the Min
nesota rate case and in the other
cases involving the right of states to
fix rates had been handed down by
the United States supreme court,
Later the supreme court upheld the
authority of states to make rates and
the commission directed the roads to
readjust their passenger fares by
May /.
Except in such instances as the
commission may grant permission to
the carriers. for ~well-defined reasons.
to exact a higher rate for the shorter
than for the longer haul, the roads
will be required precisely to conform
to the laws provisions.
To what extent the compliance with
the orders may affect the of
the roads the commission has no
means of determining accurately. be-
cause that will depend upon the vol.
ume of traffic, which is a variable
quantity.
