Captain B. Anderson, in charge of the

and almost instantly killed. The blow
crushed his skull and death occurred
about five minutes following the acct

er sufficiently to speak word.
According to eye-witnesses a mum.
ber of deck hands and dock workers
were handling the rope which hoisted
and lowered the heavy boom. The
captain was standing directly under
the boom when the rope slipped from
the hands of the loborers and allowed
the boom to crash down upon the can
taln's head before he could move from
his position. His head was not mutil-
ated at all but the force of the blow
crushed his skull.
The body was taken in charge by
Undertaken Edo Miller and embaImed
Immediately after the fatal accident
the body was brought to Brunswick
on the Jekyl Island clubs boat in
charge of Captain j. A. Clark, one of
those who witnessed the accident.
Captain Clark wired the owners of the
ship, Messrs. C. w. Chadwick
and company, of New York
City to notify Captain Ander-
sons family, but at late hour last
night no word had been received and
the body was being held at the Miller

Anderson lived in Brooklyn, N. Y,
and is survived by his wife and sew
eral children. The barge arrived last

More Troops Are Sent.

WASHINGTON, June 13.--Fifteen
hundred additional troops were being
mobilized today for Mexican service
In view OF continued reports OF anti
American demonstrations in Mexico
and bandit raids on Texas territory.
Ten companies OF coast artillery
drawn from Notifications between
Portland, Me. and Sandy Hook. and
battalion of engineers from the
barracks in Washington were under
orders to join General Pershing's
army and assist in guarding against
more border raids in the region near
Laredo.
Assistant Secretary OF War In
graham in the absence of Secretary
Bakers faced situation which Off
cials admitted appeared serious.
They feared not only continuance of
bandit raids. but the effect which the
killing of three of the bandits who
raided the Coleman rancho, near
Laredo, Sunday, might have on the
Mexican people. Equally puzzling to
officials was the question Of what
purpose is the basis for the anti
American demonstrations and the re-
newed border attacks.
Reports persisted that certain Car
rama officers have agreed not to in
terfere with the Mexican general, de
La Rosa, in his threatened attack on
border communities. In this connec.
tiOn was cited the report that one of
the bandits killed after the Sunday
raid had been identified as Lieut.. Col
Vill9real. Carranza officer. Even
civil authorities of Northern Mexican
states are said to be relaxing their
strict allegiance to the Carranza gov
ernment and issuing orders independ-
ent Of the Mexico City officials.

AMERICA MUST
Be FIRST SAYS
THE PRESIDENT
DISCUSSES PREPAREDNESS AND
CAUSES OF THE EUROPEAN
WAR IN AN ADDRESS AT WEST
POINT EXERCISES.

WEST POINT. N. Y, June 49,
/ President Wilson, making his frs
address since the presidential cam
paign began, today discussed pre-
paredness militarism, Americanism
the causes of the European war
peace the Monroe Doctrine. divided
allegiance and the ideals OF America
He declared it is the present impera
tive duty of the United States to be
prepared, adding mankind is going tC
know that when America speaks she
means what she says"
The president said the United States
should not be a clustering nation, a
nation with "a chip on its shoulder ,
but a calm nation which will with
hold its hand as long as possible and
strike only for victory. The presidents
address ran through almost the en-
tire list OF subjects discussed by for.
mer Justice Hughes in his telegram
accepting the Republican nomination
and he declared that the United
States is ready to join with other ma
tions to see that the kind of justice
it believes in is given.
Shaking his finger emphatica;iy the
president told the graduates of the
Military academy and a large audi
ence that nobody who does not put
America first can be tolerated. He
added however that true Americans
should set good example
The president declared the present
war did not come by accident, but
that it had to come. The United States
wants nothing from Europe, he said,
and there is nothing she wants that
she must get by war He sounded a
warning that no man can tell what the
next day will bring forth in the
worlds events.
The word "Americanism" was used
today by the president for the first
time in recent addresses. He con
stantlx referred To the West Point
graduates to whom he was speaking,
but referred more to national and in
ternational problems. He warned the
graduates against militarism The
presidents speech was frequently in
terrupted by applause and he was
cheered as he concluded.
