Armory is Needed.

Keokuk would need an armory. and
while the state may not appropriate
money for the building, it is possible
that the government might buy the
armories after they are built. espec-
tally il they find the citizens are
anxious and willing to help out IN
the matter. The present quarters in
which Company l. is thrilling is en-
tirely inadequate to the needs OF sol
diering. 1t is impossible to drill full
company without dbumping into posts.
In the summer time The street can
be used, but for closes order drilling,
where the discipline SIS taught. 1t

takes in the uncertainelight. while in

THE national guard will be re-
organized and put on an efficient
basis" Sergeant Langenbach told
the local men who met him today.
THE federal government intends to
use the militia instead OF adding to
the regular standing army the suf-
ficient number of men to make ade-
quate defense. The government will
of course demand efficiency and 1t is
to this end that the reorganization
of companies will be directed. Some
$500 men will be added to Iowa's
quota up to $4,000 In the larger
cities, Des Moines, Burlington, Wat
erloo. Fort Madison, Keokuk and
others, a second company will be
asked for in case there is sufficient
interest to maintain the company al

come at the encampment. The trou-

UNLESS ALL MEXICAN
INTERESTS CAN BE CONCTILATED
Mexicans, However, Seem United On
But One Thing. and That Is Hatred
of "GringoeS," and Determination
to Force American Withdrawal.

Washington, July 1S.-The grow
ing strength of the Villa revolution is
creating a new condition that threat
ems to upset all peace plans Of Presl-
dent Wilson and General Carranza
and precipitate a crisis more serious
than any yet faced with Mexico,
With the new revolutionary move
ment menacing CarranZa in Northern
Mexico the situation the United States
faces was outlined in official circles
as follows:
First When the Pershing expedi-
ton was ordered into Mexico to get
Villa" the latter had a force of $50
bandits He Is now reported heading
q force OF 5000 revolurionists, and the
administration faces the necessity
either OF giving up its campaign
against Villa or expanding a bandit
chase into war on a force of revolu-
tionists,
Second II the United States aids
Carranza IN suppressing villa 1t will
be placed In the position of sending
an army into a neighboring state to
aid one faction of Mexicans in SUBJ
DUNG another faction. This not only
might unite the Mexican factions in a
war to drive the Americans out. but
would be contrary to the position
taken by President Wilson in his
Detroit speech when he held Mexico
had a right to fight out it's own bat
ties.
Must Do One of Three Things
The new situation the United States
faces. therefore. that 1t must do one
OF three things. concihate the Villistas
and other revolutionists and invite
them into conference with Carranza
officials to compose Mexican differ
ences; aid CarranZa effectively In put
ting down the revolution; or withdraw
American troops back across the line.
strengthen the border patrol and re-
sume the old watchful waiting policy
maintained when Carranza and villa
previously were fighting for control
along the American border. There
were strongest evidences tonight that
tine last named policy will be adopted.
1t was learned that President Wilson
Is determined not to have war or
further armed clashes between the
American and Mexican forces and the
troops are being withdrawn from
Mexico as rapidly as possible with
out giving the appearance of forced
under pressure.
It was admitted In official circles
today that the action of General Ire
