DOUGLAS. June 30.-Immigration officials today refused the applica- tions for readmission to the United States of large number of Mexicans who recently left Arizona with the avowed intention of taking up arms in behalf of Mexico
 The officials hold they were mad Eiissibie because American ciyIl and military authorities had given guaran- tees of safety to all law-abiding Mex jeans. Their departure in the face of these guarantees were held by the immigration inspectors to indicate ',ersonal hostility to the United States.
 Hundreds of Mexicans who hurried ly left Douglas during the last week were said to be making their way back toward the border The Sonora food situation is becoming acute. it was reported today. as the entire state is dependent upon imports from this country for food.

, WASHINGTON, June 30. An amendment under which Congress is expected to authorize federal bond issue to meet the extraordinary ex- penses of the Mexican emergency was reached today by administration leaders.

 What form the bonds would take should an issue be found necessary has not been determined Some lead DTS favor issuance of some of the Panama canal threes of which a bal ance of $240 56O.000 remains in the treasury. and others believe sDe- cial emergency bond should be put out.

President Dwells At Length On Mexican Crisis In a Speech Before Press Club At New York City
EVERY ALTERNATIVE
 TO BE TRIED FIRST
War Can Always Be Made; Difficulty Is To Stay Out; But Honor And Life Shall Be Protected, He Says
fsy Review Leased Wire.

NEW YORK, June S0.-President Wilson made it plain in his speech at the New York Press Club banquet to- night that he will not corntenance a war with Mexico until there is other alternative for settling the Border troubles.
 Again he declared that he was ready to sacrifice his own political interests in order to carry out his convictions as to what would be the just course to pursue in the situation.
 The Presidents audience. composed of newspaper men. state and muni- cipal political leaders. and other prominent in public life. signified their endorsement of his position by repeated outbursts of applause. When he asked if the glory of America would be enhanced by war of con quest in Mexico. shouts of no came from all parts of the banquet hall. A similar response was made to his query whether. Americas duty Is to carry self defense to the point of die tation into the affairs of another peo- ple." The President dwelt also on his efforts to serve the whole people, thousands of whom he said are ap- pealing to him to maintain peace as long as possible.
 No Servant to Greed.
 'I have constantly to remind my self" he said. !" that l am not the servant of those who wish to en- nance the value of their Mexican in- vestments but that I am a servant of the rank and file of the people of the United States"
 Bainbridge Colby, who placed Theo- dore Roosevelt in nomination for the presidency at the Progressive con vention paid President Wilson high tribute but did not declare unquali- fedly that he would support him in the coming campaign. as it was re ported he would do. President VII son arose in his seat and shook hands with NIT. Colby as he finished speak ing.
 Mayor John P. Mitchell. Ralph Put itzner and Irwin s. Cobb were in the party that included Mir. Wilson. President Wilson did not begin to speak until almost II o'clock.
 Brief of Speech.
 In his address before the New York Press Club tonight President Wilson said;
 "I realize that I have done very thing. l have come to address this thoughtful group of men any preparations whatever. If I could have written as witty speech as MT. Pulitzer. l would have written it. If could have written as clear an enuciatiOn of the fundamental ideas of American patriotism as the mayor I should have attempted. If l have been as appealing person and of as feeling heart as Mir. Cobb. I would have felt safe. If could have been as generous and interesting and genuine as MT. Colby. I should have felt that could let myself go with out any preparation. But gentlemen. as a matter of fact. l have been absorbed by the responsibilities which have been freauently referred here to- night and that pre-occupation has made it impossible for me to forecast even what you would like to hear me talk about
