but that is exactly what the
stay of the national guardsmen
at the border is rapidly making out of
the Lone Star State. Hundreds of the

for their summers when there is no
war there or who usually turn to the
seaside resorts or the mountains are
now on the border.

name, by the way-waiting for word

t1onal boundary and go after Villa-or
Carranza or Zapata or anybody else.
The passenger agents on all the rail
roads coming into Texas got together
and fled with the interstate commerce
commission at Washington an applica-
ton to have cheap round trip railroad
rates made effective to Texas points
this summer. Low rates were sought
for the benefit of the many people de-
string to visit relatives and friends
who are numbered among the 100000
mllitiamen engaged in border patrol
duty.

the First cavalry a wager Of 5 to 1
was offered that the guard would not
remain until Christmas, but there were
no takers.
Making full allowance for legitimate
desire of the men to return home il
they are not here to serve the burmese
for which they enlisted. it is pointed
out by observers that the national
guard has been planked down in the
nest which to a large extent it pre-
pared for itself.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.-Prospects for passage of a government ship pur- chase bill are believed to be bright by administration leaders, who saw in conferences President Wilson had today with democrats who opposed such measure last year indications that united support for the revised proposal eventually would be won
 The president continued during the Gay to urge leading members of con- eress to hasten action on important legislation. He discussed the ship bill particularly with Majority Leader kitchin of the house and Senator Clarke of Arkansas. Later, Repre- sentative Kitchin said the bill, if pre- sented as outlined to him, would re- ceive his support Senator Clarke would not discuss it. but some of his friends said they believed the meas ure could be submitted in form to meet his approval.

 Previously the corporation commits sion had made a great fight to secure data concerning expenses, in order that it might put into effect the j. cent rate. This rate could not be or dered until the commission possessed data from all roads operating in the state. The Arizona Eastern was the only road that steadfastly refused oI neglected to furnish the required figures, and the story of it's con- bats with the commission on this point has been related from time tC time in state papers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Arrival at
 New York today of the Italian Steam CT America, armed like the liner Ve- two guns mounted aft, may hasten the decision of the United States government on the question of whether there shall be a change in policy regarding the clearance from Ameri- can ports of merchant vessels, armed for defensive purposes. Before news of the Americas ap- pearance reached here in press dis patches, Baron Zwiedinek, the Austro- Hungarian charge, had called at the state department to ask what the United States intended to do in the case of the Verona
 A similar inquiry was made by the charge recently before the Italian steamship Giuseppe Verdi sailed from New York carrying guns mounted l like those of these two ships. The Verdi was cleared after the Italian government had given assurances that | her arms would be used for defense only. Baron ZWiedinek communicated | this fact to Vienna. It is understood l that he had not yet received addi- | tional instructions but there have l been intimations that Austria is pre- pairing to inform the United States l that inasmuch as a submarine could not approach a vessel carrying such
 weapons for the purpose of exercising 1 the right of visit and search, enemy
 merchantmen mounting guns for any ] purpose would be considered armed
 and would be subject to attack with l out warning.
 The official report on the case of | the Verona has just reached the state department. It was suggested during the day that the procedure followed in
 regard to the Verdi probably would be
 adopted in this case. After the news of the Americas arrival was re-
 ceived officials would not indicate what effect that might have on the
 departments deliberations

She soon became water logged. Her boats tore away and were lost and for four days and nights she widowed in the trough of the sea with her crew on deck before the Avalon came along and rescued them.
 The Repeat was a three masted wooden schooner of 456 gross tons register. She was built in 1897 at Coos Bay. oregon and was owned by Levers and Cooke of Honolulu.
 The arrival of the Avalon bringing the crew of the Repeat served to re- move fears for the safety of the French bark Bayard which had been reported today wrecked and abandoned off the oregon coast. The bar tug Oneonta had sent a wireless message to Astoria saying that it was the Bayard's crew that the Avalon had rescued. It was apparent tonight that an error had been made in giving the name of the abandoned vessel.
 The Bayard while she suffered somewhat in yesterdays storm. was reported as darkness fell tonight just south of Cape Lookout, proceeding on her course.
