PRESIDENT WILSON WANTS PREPAREDNESS
 ARMY BILL PASSED
Night Sessions May Be Necessary-If Presidents Programme Is Carried Through No Adjourn ment Until December

Washington, March 13.-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 to- day by Senator Chamberlain, chair man of the military committee, and Senator Borah, republican, in advo- eating laying aside temporarily all other legislation in order to dispose promptly of preparedness measures. Their statements precipitated Igeneral discussion, in which Senators NVardaman and Simmons deprecated Suggestions that the United States Twas not prepared to deal with any Dsituation that might arise in it's rela- |tions with Mexico, while Senator Hoke Smith urged that the military com Imittee should bring in immediately Ia bill to double the enlisted strength Iof the army as an emergency meas lure, leaving the general reorganlza- Etion bill to mature consideration.
 While the Senate debate was in prog
 Iress, Speaker Clark and Majority Leader
 Kitchin were reporting to colleagues of the House on conference early in the day with President Wilson. who urged them to speed up the legislative pro- syl azndne. with asview to action on all ifa-
 portant measures in time for adjourn Iment in June.. The House leaders agreed Ethat it would be impossible to accomplish 1.-the task ahead in so short a time, all though steps will be taken to hurry on
 with the work as rapidly as possible. WANT IMMEDIATE ACTION N Demands for immediate action on the preparedness bills were made in the Sem late, when the matter of taking up the |public lands, water power and rural |credit legislation was preached Senator |Chamb erlain declared he would not be Surprised if as a result of the punitive |expedition into Mexico, General Villa |were proclaimed a national hero and |bo,OOe Mexican troops rallied to his stand lard to resist American troops.
 H Senator Borah, who has been one of |khe most persistent critics of the admin |istration's Mexican policy up to this |time, gave complete indorsement to the Presidents action, but warned Congress |to prepare for war, declaring that no |l.an knew what consequences might fol- How the invasion Of Mexico even on a |punitive expedition.

Secretary Lansing made public the text of note accepting General Car iranza's proposal for reciprocal agreement between the two govern Iments and announcing that the United States held this arrangement to be now in force and binding upon both parties. General Funston will carry out his task under this agreement. ! Official announcement was awaited tonight that the American force had crossed the border. Plans for the troops movements have gone ahead without regard to the diplomatic ex- changes.
 MT. Lansing also made public a statement issued in the name of Presi- dent Wilson reiterating that every !step being taken by the administra- tion was based on the deliberate in tention to preclude the possibility of armed intervention in Mexico. The statement follows:
 LANSlNGS STATEMENT
 Tn order to remove any misapprehen- sion that may exist either in the United States or in Mexico the President has authorized me to give in his name the public assurance that the military opera tions now in contemplation by this gov-. ernment will be scrupulously confined to the object already announced and that in no circumstances will they be sui fered to infringe in any degree upon the sovereignty of Mexico or develop into in- tervention of any kind in the internal af- fairs of our sister republic.
 "On the contrary what is now being done is deliberately intended to preclude the possibility of intervenrIon.''
 The note to Carranza defines the terms of the agreement beyond the possibility of misconstruction. It provides that where conditions arise on the American side of the border similar to those at Columbus, which led to the orders to General Funston to enter Mexico, the same privilege will be accorded to the Mexican de facto government without the necessity of a further exchange of views. It is clearly stated, however, that
 
 soil by Mexican troops must nave come from the American side, committed depre- dations on the Mexican side and fled back again to United States territory. There is no such instance on record in recent years.
 The note follows:
 NOTE TO CARRANZA
 The government of the United States has received the courteous note of Senor Acuna and has read with satisfaction his suggestion for reciprocal privileges to the American and Mexican authorities in the pursuit and apprehension of outlaws who infest their respective territories lying along the international boundary and who are constant menace to the lives and property of residents of that region.
 "The government of the United States, in view of the unusual state of affairs which has existed for sometime along the International boundary, and earnestly desiring to cooperate with the de facto government of Mexico to suppress this state of lawlessness, of which the recent attack on Columbus, N. M., is a deplor- able example. and to insure peace and order in the region contiguous to the boundary between the two republics read- fly grants permission for military forces of the de facto government of Mexico to cross the international boundary in

The general said that only the com pletion of plans for backing up the expeditionary forces now was needed. He was noncommittal, however, as to the time needed to accomplish this
 General Funston said that reports that American troops already had been ordered to cross the border were untrue.
 Reiterating previous statements that the expeditionary force will be Ia strong one,- General Funston de- clared that when the expedition was fully organized there will be only six or ieght regiments, other than those on the border, left in the United States. This did not take into ac- count troops in the canal zone and the Philippines.
 General Funston declined to discuss troop movements, other than to announce that the Twenty third infantry stationed at Galveston had been ordered to leave for the west; that part of the First cav airy had left San Francisco for the east and would pick up the rest of the detail at San Diego and that the second squad ron of the Twelfth cavalry at Fort Rob- inson Neb., had been ordered to start, but was being delayed by lack of rolling stock
 General Funston's announcement that Brigadier General Pershing would com nsand the punitive expedition into Mexico was the first official statement that Gen eral Pershing would draw the assign nent.
 To General Pershing will be left the final disposition of the expeditionary force. orders will be issued for the for ward movement by General Funston at Fort Sam Houston. but the hour when the orders will be executed will be de- cided by the general in the field.
