WashingtOn.-Pres Wilson Sun
day called out virtually the entire Ma
tional Guard of the country, number
ing 1885, 600 officers and men, for serv-
ice in defense of the Mexican border.
The Presidents action followed the
receipt of reports from General Funs-
ton showing that the present force on
the border would have to be greatly in
creased to protect it against raids.
The calling out of the militia will
also enable more of the regulars along
the border to be sent into Mexico in
any emergency, either in pursuit of
bandits or for the reinforcement of the
expedition commanded by General
Pershing if attacked by the de facto
government.
The announcement that the National
Guard had been called into the fed
eral service was made by Secretary
Baker at $50 O'Clock Sunday afternoon
following a day of feverish activity in
the War Department.
Immediately thereafter Secretary
Baker sent a telegram to every COVER
nor, calling all or part of the militia
of that State into the service of the
United States forthwith"
These kilograms indicated what
proportion of the militia of each State
was wanted. The governors were
asked to have the militia assembled at
the mobilization points already desig
mated for each State.

Brownsville was most alarming. Gen
eral Funston's dispatches were not
made public, but they are understood
to have emphasized the necessity for
reinforcements to the present border
guard without delay. The administra-
ton has plainly become uneasy over
General Trevino's threat to attack Gen
eraI Pershing's troops if they moved in
any other than a northerly direction.
Forces Must Be Recruited.
General Mills, chief of the militia
division, informed militia heads in the
various States that infantry companies
must be recruited to a minimum of 65
men, cavalry troops to 65 men, com
panies of engineer to 65 men and com
panies of the artillery to 1876 men.
Mobilization War Department head
said, would be speedy. In many States,
including New York, Illinois, Massa-
chusetts, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and others recruited to full
strength, troops will be moving to their
mobilization points within few hours.
The minimum militia strength of Inc
United States is 145, 600.
Tension More Acute
General Frederick Funston, COM
manding the border forces, will desig-
nate the time and place for movements
of Guardsmen to the international line
as the occasion shall require.
In announcing the orders, Secretary
Baker said the State forces would be
employed only to guard the border and
that no additional troop movements
into Mexico were contemplated except
in pursuit of raiders.
simultaneously with the National
Guard call, Secretary Daniels, of the
Navy Department, ordered additional
war vessels to Mexican waters on both
coasts to safeguard American lives.
At the War, Navy and State Depart
ments it was stated that no new ad-
vices as to the situation in Mexico had
come to percipitate the new orders.
Within the last two weeks, however,
tension has been increasing steadily.
The crisis presented by General Car
ranza's note demanding the recall of
General Pershing's expeditionary force
has been followed by a virtual ulti-
matum served on the American officer
by General Trevino, the Mexican COM
mander in Chihuahua To this was
added the possibility that American
and Mexican troops had clashed across
the border from San Benito, Texas.

Secretary Baker Explains.

Here is the text of Secretary Bakers
announcement of the call for militia:
"ln view of the disturbed conditions
on the Mexican border, and in order to
insure complete order and protection
for all Americans, the President has
called out substantially all State
militia, and will send them to the bor-
der wherever and as fully as General
Funston determines them to be needed
for the purpose stated.
"If all are not needed an effort will
be made to relieve those on duty there
from time to time, so as to distribute
the duty.
"This call for militia is wholly I'M
related to General Pershing's expedi-
ton. and contemplates no additional
entry into Mexico except as may be
necessary to pursue bandits who at
tempt outrages on American soil.
"The militia are being called out so
as to leave some troops in the several
States They will be modified at
their stations where necessary recruit
ing can be done"

The Profit On Bonds Bought Last Year.
~ JOHN N. oskisoN

There was a time during the sum

sold at a low price. tempting to in
vestors. In one or more OF my ar.
ticles In this series pointed out
the opportunity TO make exceptional
profits In q very safe and legitimate
speculation.
AT the end Of 1915 bond records
showed that a great many investors
took advantage OF the opportunity.
From the low midsummer prices
bonds rose until they stood fairly
close to the best high record. For
instance:
The standard p. Il U. convertible
four and one-half per cent bonds had
gained IS points during the year.
That Is. on each $3.50 or thereabouts
invested In these securities at the
low point, the buyer would have had
six months profit OF $3.50 In addi-
tion TO an interest return OF $3.50.
on New York Central debenture
SIS the rise was ~ l-2 points; on
Southern Pacific convertible 5s the
rise was 13 IA points, and on West
ern Maryland Is the gain was 22
points.

a 81, 900 bond OF these standard Is
sues at the low prices OF the sum
mer would have required from s77O
to $3.50. The return to the buyer
who sold on the high market OF the
year would have varied from $50 10
$3.50. This would mean return on
the investment In six months of
from nine per. cent TO Is per cent,
or at the rate OF Is per cent 10 80
per cent year.
II We believe that the country Is
on the road TO new high levels OF
prosperity, IL Is worth while calling
attention TO the fact that certain
standard investment bonds are now
from three TO 10 points below the
