TO MOBILIZE U. 5. INDUSTRIES
in House Creates National Council
for Purpose.

Washington, May a4.-Creation of a
national council to mobilize the indus
trial resources of the country for use
in time of war is proposed in a bill
approved by President Wilson and in
troduced today in the House by Chair
man Hay of the military affairs COM
mittee.
The measure would provide for a
council to consist of seven members
of the cabinet with the power to NOM
mate for the approval of the President
an advisory commission of seven men,
bers specially qualified to aid in max
ing a survey of the industries of the
country and to create relations that
will make possible in time of need
the immediate concentration and util
ization of all the industrial resources
of the nation"
Among the duties of advisory COM
missioners would be to investigate and
recommend to the President the loca-
ton of railroads in reference to con-
centration of troops and the mobiliza-
ton of resources in time of war; to
increase the domestic production of
articles and materials essential to the
support of armies and the people dur
give information to manufacturers re
garding the class of supplies needed
by the government, and to develop
seagoing transportation. None of the
men engaged in the work would draw
a salary, only his actual expenses be-
ing paid. An initial appropriation of
100000 is asked for the work of the
survey during the first year
g.
been widespread since the beginning
of the European war. The depend
ence of the United States on other
countries for it's dyestuffs and nitrates
has been urged particularly as demon
strating the need for action. Wit
nesses before various committees also
have urged that almost every indus
try in the United States would be will
ing to assist the country in preparing
for defense, if work they could do was
outlined.

REPUBLICANS TO BE NOISY
More Than 100 Bands and so Glee
Clubs Will Attend the National
Convention.

Chicago, May 23.-Indications are
that the Republican national conven-
ton of 1916 will be one of the noisiest
and most exciting in the history of the
party
With sixteen candidates for presi-
dent in the field and with the result in
doubt until the last ballot has been
taken, there is likely to be an unusual
amount of noise and enthusiasm every
day the convention is in session.
Fred w. Upham, chairman of the
local committee on arrangements, was
informed today that plans have been
made to bring more than 100 bands
and fifty glee and marching clubs to
Chicago during convention week.
Every state that has a favorite son
candidate for president will bring
from five to ten bands with innumer-
able marching clubs and glee clubs.

TO RETAIN MISSIONARY BOARD
Methodists Take Decisive Action in
General Conference-Further Steps
Taken to Unite Church

Saratoga Springs, N Y, May 2S-
Action of widespread Importance to
Methodism was taken today by the
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church which by an over
whelming majority voted against aDol-
ishing the missionary episcopacy and
later decisiveIy Endorsed plans that
NAV lead to the unification of the
Methodist church in the north and
south before the next Quadrennial ses-
sion.
Lively debate marked the proposal
to advance all missionary bishops to
the grade of bishops, with full powers,
and to elect no more bishops whose
episcopal authority is limited to the
foreign mission field. 1t was defeated.
The board of bishops was given the
power to decide if the present confer
ence shall meet again in 1918 to con-
slider the plan for Methodist unity.
Otherwise the proposal will not reach
the northern church officially until
1920 when the next general conference
meets.
Almost the only obstacle to the pro-
posaI was Immediately removed by the
action of Bishops Earl Cranston, John
W. Hamilton and Joseph S. HartZell,
who are to be retired at the end of
this session. If the session were pro-
longed until 1918, they could not be
legally retired until that time.
The three bishops in turn appeared
before the delegates and asserted that
if the movement for the union of
Methodism would thereby be ad-
vanced they would willingly ask to be
retired at once. The conference re-
ceived the announcement with great
enthusiasm.

But the War Department Re-
fuses to Send the Coast
Artillery South.
ASKS FOR MORE MILITIA, TOO
movement of Mexican Forces Towards
North Causes American Com
nander to File Request

San Antonio, Tex, May 25--Gen-
@aral FunSton's request for more coast
artillery, it is understood here, has
been refused by the War Department
The additional units of the regular
army and the militia of the three Dor
der states have enabled him to
strengthen materially the patrols
along the long border, but even with
that added force there remain many
weak points, it is said, and it was to
protect them that ne asked for more
companies of coast artillery. General
Funston refused to confirm the re-
port but it was indicated at his head
quarters that he had replied to the
departments refusal by request
that more militia be sent to him.
Militia to Stations.
The militia now in camp here will
start moving towards the border to-
morrow. The first regiment to go will
he the Second Texas, with headquar-
tiers at Brownsville. This will be fol-
lowed by a regiment moving Saturday
10 Eagle Pass and two days later an
other regiment will enter the Browns
vile district. Brig. Gen. John A. HUI
len of the Texas militia will be sta
sfioned at Brownsville.
Reports from General Pershing to-
day indicated no sharp developments,
but reports from him and from other
sources reflected the activity of Mexi-
can troops. In strong numbers the
Mexicans were reported moving to
stations nearer the frontier, but there
was nothing to indicate that the mo
tive was other than to establish over
Northern Mexico an effective police
force. General Funston and his staff
have kept themselves closely inform
ed, however, of the Mexican move
mentS.
Funston Request Stands.
Late tonight it was stated at head
quarters that General Funston origi-
nally asked the War Department for
the national guard regiments of Ari-
IONA, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Oklahoma. Later the
request was renewed and the militia
of the three border states was or
&5ered. 1t is understood the request
still stands for the other troops. 1t
is considered possible they will be
modified. at least part of them, to
serve on the border in lieu of coast
artillery, which could not be allowed.
