DUTY ON MEXICAN BOUND
AIRY LINE.
CREATING TRAINED RESERVE
Secretary Baker Answers Numerous
Inquiries, Declaring That the Militia
on the Border is "Winning BloodIess
Victories Daily"

Washington.-The National Guard
will be retained on the Mexican border
until 1t can be withdrawn without
again endangering American lives and
property. Secretary Baker so declar-
ed the administration policy in ans
wering a score OF letters from many
parts OF the country explaining that
the state troops were being held in
service after the emergency for which
they were called out apparently had
passd.
In general the complainants alleged
financially on militiamen and hard
ships on their families.
BY its presence on the border. he
wrote to one, the guard is winning
bloodless victories daily" He declar-
ed that Americans resident along the
international line were enjoying a
peace and security they could not
know without the protection of mill
tary forces. He added the presence
of the militia on the Mexican border
has restored order and given a higher
degree of safety and security to the
lives OF our people in that troubled
country than they have had for a long
time.
Referring to the elaborate and ex-
tensive training the militiamen are
receiving under supervision OF regu-
lar army officers. the secretary ex-
pressed the opinion that it would fit
them to act in time OF war or other
emergency as a supporting arm. or
second line for the regular army, fur
nishtng an asset to National prepared
ness that could not have been OBJ
tanned otherwise.
Clearly so soon as restored state
OF order OH the border justifies 1t, the
troops will be returned . to their
homes" he wrote. I'm the meantime.
1t is not possible for the department.
to say how soon such situation will
arise. although the Mexican situation
Is one OF increasing hopefulness."

Secretary Lansing Orders lnvestlaa-
tlon Of Reports Of 10000 Acre Land
Concession Being Sought.
Washington. on.-Investigation of re-
ports from Panama that a 6OOOO-acre
land concession at the Atlantic end OF
the canal is being sought by a Span
lard named Fernandez, presumably
Tor Japanese interests, was ordered
by Secretary Lansing. Mr.. Lansing
refused to discuss the report in detail
but the action was considered signifi-
cant
Rumors of similar nature have
been common ever since the canal
was well under way Several months
ago 1t was commonly believed in dip
lomattc circles that private Japanese
shipping interests were seeking land
through Spanish Intermediates to es.
tablish base for storing coal at low
er rates than could be had from the
American Government MONOPOLY base
SO far as known nothl * definite came
OF that plan.
The present reports are that Fer
nandez is seeking or has already Sc
cured 60,000-acre land concession
through the activity OF Raymon Val
dez, whose recent election to the pres
idency of Panama may possibly be
disputed by the United States because
OF alleged frauds and coercion.

opposition. 1t already had passed the
House.
The shipping bill provides for Gre

Several important amendments
were agreed to just before the final
vote, among them one which would
reduce the salary OF the shipping
board members from $4,000 10 $500
year. Other amendments passed in
clude one which would authorize the
president TO seek adjustment OF foreign
discrimination against American ship
ping through diplomatic negotiations
and TO take retaliatory action il such
negotiations fail. Another would
authorize the treasury to withhold
clearance from masters OF vessels who
deliberately refuse to accept freight
from American citizens without salts

pealed to the railroad officials to aban-
don their insistance on arbitration of
the dispute threatening a nationwide
strike and to accept his plan of settle
ment, arleady agreed to by the EN-
ployes, because in his opinion the rail
roads are contending for a principle
which 1t seemingly is impossible to
apply to the present situation.
In one of the most dramatic scenes
known to the White House in recent
years, the President declared to the
heads of five billion dollars worth OF
properties, assembled at his sum
mons:
"lf a strike comes, the public
will know where the responsible
ity rests. 1t will not be upon me-"
few minutes later he issued a
statement saying. THE public has the
right to expect" acceptance OF his
plan.
Refusing acceptance for the pres
ent, but not gicing a final answer.
Hale Holden. president of the Bur
lington roads, and spokesman for the
33 railroad officials, urged the Presi-
dent to uphold the principle OF ar
bitration, and declared his plan would
place in peril all that has been ac-
complished in the peaceful ADJUST
ment OF labor controversies by meth
ods OF arbitration"

GileH Gets Fat
And Fox Now Seeks
"Anti-thil" Remedy

L. e. GilIett must like his new posi-
ton as travelling salesman for the FL
Paso Overland Auto company. He
dropped into town on Monday morn
ing, pumped orders for 30 Overlands
on the desk of general manager f. NJ.
Banneu and caused some wonder in
the office. When the members of the
staff got chance to look at Mr.. Gill
lett they had to rub their eyes.
Mr.. Gillett has never been known as
n real heavyweight, but his month on
the road makes il evident that he
isn't going to remain long in the light
weight class. He had gained Is pounds
while away and manager Bannel saws
that so long as he brings in the orders
as ne did on his first road trip he can
get as fat as he wants to.
AS soon as business had been at
tended to, Charles r. Fox. one of the
Overlands slender statesmen. was
caught escorting Mr. Gillett into the
privacy of the stockroom. Once there.
Mr.. Fox begged the salesman to tell
him the name of the "anti-thin" rem
edy. Mr.. Gilletts reply was that the
harder he worked the fatter he got.
Now watch Fox set records.
