'PERSH|NC'S men
READY TO STRIKE
| when NECESSARY:
MeXicans Draw Line Parallel
with Americans for $50 Miles
and Clash May Come Any
Moment

Ell Paso, Tex, June 26.-General Per.
shing's punitive expeditionary force in
Mexico is ready for action if action Is
necessary.
Today. according to the best infor-
nation here, his southernmost outpost
is near Ell Vale, less than so miles
from Colonia Dublin, the main base. 1t
is believed that from Ell Valley a large
and mobile force may be pointed east
ward in a strategic position, toward
the Mexican Central Railroad In the
fighting trim compose General Per-
shing's army Reports from the front
indicate the highest morale among the
men.
Equipment has been put in the best
condition. Horses and mules have been
tested until only the fit and strong re-
main. Big motor trains loaded with
the necessary supplies for an advance
are lined up. Every empty truck
which remained at Columbus has been
sent to the front.
With the lines of the Americans and
Mexicans paraleling for at least $50
miles, the rash action of some subordi-
nate commander. it is considered here.
might at any time embroil the main
commands before the exchange be-
tween Washington and Mexico City
are considered.
Fears that events might be thus has
tened prompted border commanders to
redouble their vigilance today.

No orders were received up to
late hour Monday night by Ad-
tjutant General George Mel.
Presson calling for the move
ment of the Second Maine Reg
iment, but the military authori-
ties believe that the necessary
orders will be received Tuesday
or Wednesday and that the
Maine contingent will leave here
Thursday. The equipment for
the regiment recruits is expect
ed to arrive Tuesday from Phil
adelphia and the work of giving
the men the physical examina-
ton is being pushed rapidly in
order to be all in readiness when
=! the instructions arrive for the
troops to entrain. Recruiting
stations have been established
by the adjutant generals de-
partment at Millinocket, Belfast
and Caribou under the charge of
retired officers of the National
Guard. There is doubt in some
quarters that the regiment will
be ready to move as early as
Thursday, but the Maine troops
will 60 forward at the earliest
possible moment, d din g
largely upon the receipt of
equipment.

All Subscribe to Oath

Every man has subscribed to the
oath required by the federal law,
which requires three years service and
three years in reserve unless sooner
discharged, and the physical examina-
tions will be completed in two days. 1t
is feared that one, and possibly two
regimental officers may be rejected on
account Of their eyesight
Orders were issued by Adjutant Cen
eral Presson today that all recruits,
who remained at home stations, should
proceed to Camp Keyes at once. They
were expected here before midnight.

MIR. Hughes Strength

| "Mr. Hughes character and his
whole course Of conduct in public af-
! fairs justify US in the assured convic-
ton that the fact that these men have
for their own purposes supported him
will, in no shape or way, affect his
public actions before or after cleo
ton. His entire public life is guar
antee of this. : * regard Mr..

is guarantee that he will not merely
stand for a program Of cIean-cut
straiehtout Americanism before cleo

faith put it through if elected He is
beyond all comparison better fitted to
be President than Mr.. Wilson. 1t
would be a grave detriment to the
country to re-eIect Mr.. Wilson. | shall,
I we're re. strongly support Mr..
Hughes. " 81 Z
Mr.. Hughes has shown in his ca
reer the instinct of efficiency which
will guarantee that. under him, the
vieor and force. He possesses that
habit Of Straightforward thinking
which means that his words will be
correlated with his deeds and trans
lated into facts. His past career is
the warrant for our belief that he will
be the unfaltering opponent Of that
system Of invisible government which
finds expression in the domination Of
the part boss and the party machine.
His past career is guarantee that
whatever he says before election will
be made good by his acts after cleo
ton. Morally, his public records shows
him to be man Of unbendins intes
rity: intellectually. il shows him to be
man Of original and trained ability.
We have the alternative Of continuing
in office an administration which has
proved IamentabIe failure, or Of put
ting into office an administration
which we have every reason to believe
will function with efficiency for the
interest and honor Of all our people. !

ONE OFFICER AND

CARR|zAL FIGHT

Washington, June 26.-Major Jen-

men from the two troops attacked at
Carrizal who have returned to the

As to Mr.. Wilson

As to Mr.. Wilson
In Mr.. Wilson's case we do not have
to consider his words, but his deeds
His deeds absolutely contradict his
words, and for the matter Of that his
words absolutely contradict one an
other. 1t is folly to pay heed to any
of the promises in the platform on
which he now stands in view Of the
fact that almost every important prom
Use contained in the platform on which
he stood four years ago has since been
broken. We owe all Of our present
trouble with the professional German
American element in the United States
to Mr.. Wilson's tirid and vaciIatins
course during the last two years.
" r x
mr.. Wilson has been tried and
found wanting. His party, because OF
it's devotion to the outworn theory OF
state rights, and because Of its re''-
ance upon purely sectional support,
stands against that spirit Of far sight
ed nationalism which is essential if
we are to deal adequately with our
qravest social and industrial prob
lens. Mr.. Wilson and his party have
in actual practice Iamentaby failed to
safeguard the interest and honor OF
the United States. They have brought
US to impotence abroad and to divi-
sion and weakness at home. They have
accustomed US to see the highest and
most responsible offices Of government
filled by incompetent men appointed
only for reasons Of partisan politics.
They have dulIed the moral sense Of
the people. They have taught us that
peace, the peace Of eowardiee and
dshonor and indifference to the war
fare Of others, is to be put above right
eousness, above the stern and un-
flinehine performance Of duty whether
the duty is pleasant or unpleasant. Vet
In Mexico they have failed even to Sc
cure the peace which they thus
sought; and they have failed in spite

Austrian Successes
The Russians in Bukowina have
made further progress against the
Austro- Hungarians in the region of
kimpolung, but in the operations to
the north of Kuty the Austrians have
Irepulsed the Russian attacks, inflict-
ing heavy casualties on the invaders,
according to Vienna.
A Break in Galicia
In Galicia, the Russians in the re-
gion Of Buczacz have at last broken
the deadlock and have thrown their
Don Cossacks across the Dniester and
occupied the villages of Siekerghine
and Petruve.
Heavy fighting continues in Nolhy
MIA, especially around Sokul north Of
LutSk. Here Vienna says the Germans
have stormed Russian positions over
front of about 5000 metres and held
the captured positions against all
counter attacks. Along the Styr from
kolki to Sohul the Germans still are
vigorously bombarding the Russia
positions while around Linewka. on
the Stockhod river they have launched
repeated infantry attacks in mass
formations, which Petrograd asserts
were all repulsed.

About Verdun
Since Sunday night when the French
recap tured German positions between the
Fumin and Chenois woods, northeast of
Verdun, and repulsed a German attack
west of Thiaumont only artillery ac-
tions have taken place. These have di-
minished in intensity. The British on
their part of the French and Belgian line
have carried out number of successful
attacks against the Germans and also
have bombarded with considerable effect
German positions on various sectors.
In Asiatic Turkey, in the region Of
Trebizond on the right hank of the Eu-
pirates near Mosul and in the vicinity Of
Bagdad. the Turks attempted offensive

we should deal with real political is
