UNEASINESS ALONG
BORDER is GROWING
Many United States Citizens in Mex
leo on Way Out or Preparing
to Start.
MANY DIsoUIETING STORIES


Ell PASO, Tex, March 17.-Rap-
idly growing uneasiness among
Americans throughout Mexico, espe-
cially in the north and west, was evil
denced today by reports from various
sections that United States citizens
were either on their way to the bor-
der or were preparing TO leave.
At practically every point OF en-
try along the northern and north
western frontier Americans arrived
today from the interior. but in the
majority of instances they said they
were leaving Mexico as a matter OF
precaution and not because OF any
overt acts Of hostility against them.
ssThe most significant report was re-
ceived from Durango. where the Amer
lean vice consul advised that his wife
and child be sent out OF the country.
This followed closely on the arrival last
night on the border OF the American
consul from Torreon with large num-
ber Of Americans
Americans arriving here brought nu-
merous disouieting stories about the at
titude OF the Mexicans in the interior,
especially. in Chihuahua, Durango and
Coahuila. but invariably they told these
stories privately. and when asked 70
make any statement for publication in-
sisted that everything was quiet In the
section from which they came, They ex-
plained the contradiction by saying that
they expected to return TO Mexico when
things before more settled and they did
not wish to say anything which might
arouse resentment Of the Mexicans. An
American who arrived today from the
city Of Chihuahua reported that all was
quiet there yesterday.
The Mexican consulate here received
a telegram today from General Gales,
military governor OF Sonora. saying that
a villista spy. r. PanobiIos. had been
arrested at Dos Cabezas. II is alleged
that this man was In Columbus on the
night OF the raid. When questioned he
said that Villa had fled after the raid
to corralitos. where he murdered sew
eral cowboys and seized a number OF
horses. He then started for Galeana by
way OF Puerto Choco.

Shallenberger Has
Idea for Army; Gun
In Every Home in us,

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE bill."
said Representative shallenberger. demo.
crat OF Nebraska in the debate on the
army increase bill provides In my
opinion as reasonable and efficient an
increase as is demanded to perform every
function demanded of the army in times
OF peace.
Mr.. Shallenberger said history showed
that the fate OF nations always had hung
upon the common soldier the man with
a gun in his hands fighting for his home
and hearth.
III had my way" he added, "I would
place a gun. the finest military fifle. be-
hind the door Of every home. I would
have father and son taught 20 use IL.
and depend on that force to defend the
country"
Representative Kinkaid. republican OF
Nebraska, said he was glad the bill pro
yided for an increased National Guard
rather than a great standing army.
Representative Hull, republican q Iowa
said the National Guard now laekened the
nationwide unity which the Hay bill
would provide. He advocated govern
ment manufacture of aeroplanes. they
could be made at the Rock Island arsenal
for one-tenth OF their present cost OF
construction.

ate Army Bill Provides,Too
Large Force.
EIGHTH OF MILLION IS ENOUGH

WASHINGTON. March 17.-While
the house was debating the army bill
today the final draft of the senate
army bill was favorably reported by
Chairman Chamberlain.
Senator McCumber, republican, OF
North Dakota, made a speech urg-
ing the country not to be swayed
from a middle course between war
hysteria and utter defenselessness.
He contended the United States was
in less danger OF attack than ever
before.
Congress, in its growing servils
ity," he said, has allowed its func-
ton to be usurped by the executive
until it has become the tool to con-
vert presidential programs into law.
Congress should be the judge of She
necessity and of the propriety Of
changing our historical attitude"
Senator Hitchcock. democrat. submitted
a minority report of his own.
Il do not feel justified i'm joining my
cOlieasueS on the recommendation tnat
the standing army be increased IS per
cent" Mr.. Hitchcock stated. even
though that increase be distributed over
five years. In my opinion the increase
is about twice as much as It should be.
1t would give us an army of 2OO,OOO men
when enlisted to fun strength"

doubling the number Of cadets at the
