CONGRESS VOTES
ARMY INCREASE
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING RE-
CRUlTiNG UP TO 100000 MEN
is SPEEDILY ADOPTED.
MORE TROOPS ARE ASKED
Senator Sherman Would Withdraw
Regulars From Philippines for
Duty in Mexico-One Mega
tive Vote in House.

Washington, D. c., March 16. =
The senate Wednesday afternoon
adopted the Hay-Chamberlain resolu-
ton for immediate increase in the
regular army to 100000 men.
The only fight on the measure was
by Hoke Smith, who proposed an
amendment that the men be enlisted
for two years, instead of the usual
four. He announced himself as op-
posed to long term enlistments, and
said in the present instance he was
sure men could be obtained more cas-
lily if they could be assured they
would not be taken from civil life too
long.
Senator Sherman of Illinois intro
duced a resolution to withdraw the
II, 1891 regulars from the Philippines
for service on the Mexican border.
Sherman said the Philippine troops,
acclimated to tropical temperature
and trained to guerilla warfare, would
be ideal forces to repel attacks by
"bands of murderers and bandits" He
would leave the 5,755 native scouts as
the whole Philippine garrison.
The resolution was passed in the
house late on Tuesday, without OBJ
lection or debate, and with only one
dissenting vote.

TENSION Is RELIEVED
BY CARRANzA ATTITUDE
Cooperation in Villa Expedition Re-
assures President and Members
of Administration.

Washington, d c., March IS -
With American troops across the
Mexican border Wednesday night
seeking Villa and his bandits, Presi-
dent Wilson and officials of the war
department resigned themselves to
wait, possibly many days, for news of
development in the chase.
Information that forces of the de
facto Mexican government were CO.
operating with the expedition from
the United States served to relieve
tense anxiety that had been appar-
ent on all sides over the possibility
of Carranza troops revolving against
their commanders and attempting to
oppose the entry of the Americans.
Reports told of Gen. Obregon, Car
ranza's new secretary of war and
chief military leader ordering Gen.
Gavira, commander of the Juarez gar
rison to cooperate in every way with
the United States forces. This was &C
cepted as convincing proof of the at
titude of the Carranza government.
While apparently there has been no
formal discussion of what shall be
done with Villa, if he is captured, it
is regarded as probable that if taken
alive the bandit leader will be turned
over to the de facto government for
DromDt execution.
