new AID TO FIVE
MILLION MOVEMENT
Uni:cd Effort ~ Nation Wide Leaders
10 Secure Prohibition Plank In
Republican and Demo-
cratic Platforms.

The nation wide movement for Ma
tional Prohibition furthered by the
effort to secure Five Million voters
who shall pledge themselves to vote
only for such party and candidates as
stand committed by State and Ma
tional platform declaration TO the
overthrow on the liquor traffic is be-
ginning in it's sweep throughout thhe
country. Not only is this movement,
which was inaugurated by the Flying
Squadron, being aided by the coop
Grafton of various Prohibition COM
mittees, the Christian Endeavor So
ciety and various state organizations
of the w. c. T. U. and Temperance
Federations, but 1t now has a new al
ly In the Committee of Sixty.
The Committee of Sixty composed
of officials and policists OF all parties,
scientists, economics, educators, rep
representatives. of labor organizations
and business men has Just made pub
lie It's purpose to induce all parties,
including the Republican and Demo-
cratic to adopt Prohibition plank in
their National platforms this year.
The Committee, which was not
formed in the interest of any parti-
cular party movement, has secured
much active support and cooperation
among the reform and social leaders
in all parts Of the country and claims
to have the promise Of important
backing among leading politicians at
coming conventions. They expect to
enroll voters upon the Five Million
pledge, contributing their co-opera-
ton to this movement in an effort to
swell the Five Million enlistment.
However, they will use this enroll
ment in a direct manner to force the
issue of National Prohibition upon the
old line parties.
That the parties are bound to Sc
riously consider this movement is in
dictated by the political declaration of
the Committee, which announces that
whenever politicians or parties pre-
fer the liquor traffic above health,
efficiency, and morals, such men must
be set aside and such parties aban-
doned." Nearly all the members Of
the Committee of Sixty are either
Democrats or Republicans.

braces men and women from all parts
of the country.

URGES SPEED ON LEGISLATION
Senate Warned Villa May Unite Mex
leo Against Punitive Army.

Washington, March 14.-Danger of
grave complications growing out of
the sending of American troops into
Mexico to hunt down Villa and his
bandits was urged in the Senate by
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the
military committee, and Senator Bo
rah, Republican, in advocating laying
aside temporarily all other legisla-
tion in order to dispose promptly Of
preparedness measures. Their state
ments precipitated general discus
sion in which Senators Vardaman and
Simmons deprecated suggestions that
the United States was not prepared
to deal with any situation that might
arise in its relations with Mexico.
While the Senate debate was in
progress, Speaker Clark and Majority
Leader Kitchin were reporting to
their colleagues of the House on a
conference with President Wilson,
who urged them to speed up the leg
islative program with view to action
on all important measures in time for
adjournment in June.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 14.-Maj. Gen
Funston last night declared the action
OF Gen. Carranza in refusing to per
init American troops to enter Mexico
unless Mexican troops were allowed
to enter the United States in search
OF bandits, would have no effect ON
the dispatch of the expedition. Thai
news came from San Antonio last
night. simultaneously Gen. Per4hing
named field commander of the expe
dition, went to Columbus, New, Mex
where sixteen Americans were killed
many wounded and the town fired
and assumed active control of twelve
thousand troops and, forty-eight bat
teries of artillery.
While the United States has grant
ed permission for Mexican troops to
cross the border, it is qualified, and it
is not known whether this will be ac.
ceptable to Carranza.
The United States, in its note to
Carranza, limited the entrance of
Mexican troops into American states
to occasions when bandits from the
American side make raids into Mex.
leo and return. This has not hap,
pened since the Indian wars of many
years ago. While it is technically re.
ciprocal' rights for Carranza it is not
at all certain that the permission Civ.

Villa has taken sudden twist to
the eastward, according to a report
received by Gen. Gavira at Juarez.
This move apparently takes him
away from the territory where it had
been supposed he would seek refuge,
north of which the American troops
concentration has been heaviest. Mill.
tary men, both American and Mexican,
had believed Villa was making for IL
great mountain chain of the Sierra
Madres.
Gen. Bertani, heading off Villa to
the west, had said he believed Villa
was trying to get into Sinaloa, which
has enjoyed comparative peace and is
filled with prosperous ranches. But,
apparently, finding his way blocked
at Casas Grandes, the bandit gave up
his announced intention of massacring
the Mormons, and took the easiest
way out.
Although he is heading eastward,
Villa has by no means an easy pros
pect of escape from Carranza troops
about. him or from the Americans on
the border. If he continues east in
