Washington, April 5.-Over- vigor-
Gus objections by Chairman Chamber
lain of the military committee the
senate voted, 30 to 30, for the Cum
Minis plan TO amend the army reor-
ganization bill by creating a national
guard section Of the general staff.
When recess was taken the chair
man and other members of the com
mittee were fighting hard against a
second amendment championed by
Senator Cummins and Senator Lee OF
Maryland, which would eliminate the
provision for a federal volunteer army.
Senator Chamberlain charged dur
ing the debate that pernicious activity
on the part of officers of both the
national guard and the regular army
threatened TO undot the months of seri-
Gus work done by the committee.
He threatened that unless the army
officers ceased attempting to influence
legislation through personal appeal to
senators he would seek TO have them
disciplined by the war department.

Progressive Leader insists Colonel is
Not Candidate.

Washington, April 5.-Henry j. AL
len, Kansas Progressive leader, who
is here after a visit to Oyster Bay.

up to the Republican party as a threat.

low his name to be used I'm any pri-
mary is the logical expression of the
fact that he is not a candidate. II is
my belief he will not become a candi-

licans to nominate him"

ment That He Is Sending Additional
Guarding Communications.

vices seeming to show that Villa has
definitely been located south of Chi
huahua were received by the state de-
partment and at once turned over to
the war department for transmission
to General Pershing.
General Funston advised the war
department that he was sending more
troops into Mexico from Columbus to
protect the line of communication
with General Pershing. He did not
state whether additional troops had
been sent to the military base.
So far General Funston has not
suggested reinforcements of General
Pershings forces, except to protect
the extended communication lines. and
there Is no confirmation OF border re-
ports that extensive additions to the
fighting column will be required.
Late reports to the war department
say parts of the Fifth and Eleventh
cavalry and the Twentieth and Twen-
ty fourth infantry are stationed at
Columbus. General Funston did not
state whether some of those troops
had been sent across the border, or
whether others had been brought from
nearby stations.
The army censorship veiled the
number and personnel of the addition
al troops which have been sent across
the border. Major General Scott chief
of staff, said the extra troops left
Columbus two days ago, but no word
OF the movement was allowed to leak
out II is believed that the Fifth cav
airy, recently sent from Fort Myer,
Va, Fort Sheridan. H., and Fort
Leavenworth, Kan. were drawn on.
