INTERVENTION URGENT,
DECLARES SHERMAN
Senator Says There Is Mon Reason
to Go Into Mexico Than here
Was In Cuba. y

Senator Sherman, Of Illinois has issued
a statement in which he declared
that II CarranZa refused to cooperate in
Funston's hunt for Villa the United
States should intervene in Mexico forth
with. There is much more reason" he
said, ito intervene in Mexico than there
was to intervene in Cuba" Senator
Sherman's statement follows:
1T is idle to say that the murders of
Americans in northern Mexico and else
where and across the border in the Unit
ed States is merely an incident of civil
discord there, and the outbreaks Of band
its which have as yet not been brought
under the control of Carranza's govern
ment- The absence Of any government
adequate to protect life and property has
become chrouic.
ut is the constant pillage Of whole
communities and murder OF inofensive
people, among whom are many Ameri-
cans, that characterizes conditions in
Mexico The conditions of the northern
provinces of Mexico bordering on the
United States are q menace to the life
and public safety of Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona and Southern California.
Watchful waiting is a bloody trag-
edy applied to our Mexican border.
Nothing remains but to clean up Mex
leo. CarranZa ought first to be re-
QuesIed 10 join with US In doing so.
We ought II possible become an auxII-
larry acting through him or with his
government. when order is restored
We ought to withdraw as we did in
Cuba.
IF Carranza does not consent we
ought to intervene anyhow. He has
demonstrated that he cannot pacify
his own country, and especially the
northern provinces of Mexico so as
to protect our border states from
murder and arson and general destruc-
tion OF property at the pleasure of
lawless bands who commit their
crimes and then escape into Mexico"

IMMEDIATE INCREASE
in ARMY ADVOCATED
Executive Council of Army League
Adopts Resolution Calling on Con-
gress to Take Action at Once.

A resolution urging Congress to lay
aside all other business and act on the
Chamberlain bill to increase the standing
army of the country so that the President
can deal with the Mexican situation"
was adopted by the executive council of
the Army League at a special meeting
here Saturday night. The resolution
reads:
ITO give the President an adequate
military force to deal with the Mexican
situation. Congress should lay aside all
other business and pass the Chamberlain
bill as 1t is now pending before the Sen
ate Committee on Military Affairs. No
important amendment is needed to make
this bill the basis of a sound military
policy as far as the regular army is con-
cerned. At the same time, the bill au-
thorizes the President Immediately to in
crease the regular army TO a peace
strength OF 17S,OOO and war strength of
AS,OO0. 1t reorganizes the army as recon-
mended by the General Staff into a fight
ing machine ready to take the field.
IF the bill is to be passed immedi-
ately it will require at least six months
to equip, train, and enlist the new regi-
ments provided for in the bill. In the
event that the President should be forced
to pacify all of Mexico, ii would be
necessary to have at least &c, 900 regu-
lars and 5000 volunteers According to
the military authorities this is the small
est force with which 1t would be safe
to undertake the occupation of such a
vast country as Mexico. 1t is generally
believed that the present small army
could defeat the armed forces of Mexico,
but this Is the smallest part of the prob
lem which the President may be called
upon to solve"

pretty little French woman who sits at

For some time she has noticed upon

the penciled inscription:
"BonJour, madame-Henri."
She has wrinkled her pretty brow In an
effort to determine who Henri might be.
There was something family familiar
about the writing. The other day she

New York, March IA lot of magazine
illustrators-or maybe 1t would be better
to call them manufacturers-are going to
have to set down to hard pan shortly
or go to work. They are being eIbowed
OTt If tNcir Jobs by the movie actors.
The illustrations for the principal Sc
ridI no.. .unning in a big weekly maya
zine were posed by movie actors, and IL
Is said that many more are not only to
follow in this magazine, but many others.
New York art editors have long COM
planned that illustrators do not attend
to the detail of their work and are Slip
shod. II the girl In the story is a small,
dark person with a piquantIy tip-tilted
nose, the illustrator shows a big blond.
II she wears a sweater and totes a dog
she is shown in an evening gown, and II
she is supposed to be sitting on a rustic
bench the illustrator will show her talk
ing to the leader of an orchestra. And so
1t goes down the line.
Now movie actors are hired and the
best picture on the film Is enlarged, the
background improved and illustrations
made from It.

PRESS PROBES
into BOYCOTT
BY ENGLAND

WASHINGTON. July 27.-Three
distinct inquiries into the general
assault planned upon American trade
by the European belligerents were
being pressed today.
The state department was complet-
ing It's information regarding the ex-
tent OF the British boycott and the
manner OF its planned enforcement.
1t also was examining treaty appli-
cations and preparing its contention
that the domicile OF corporation In.
stead Of where its stock is controlled,
Is its hme.
The senate foreign relations COM
mttee was inquiring broadly into
the British blacklist, the agreement
feached at the recent entente con-
ference In Paris. a reported CONNER
cial agreement OF the Teutonic pow
ers and the Russo-Japanese alliance
in the Far East. The White House
was investigating all OF the boycott
facts preparatory to cooperating with
the state department in general
protest.
Situation Complicated.
The international situation, instead
OF clearing was becoming more and
more complicated. Officials realize
fully that upon the action to be taken
by the administration may hinge
Germany's adherence to the promises
previously made in the submarine
situation.
IL Is well known here that German
agents have charged that this govern
ment has recently permitted Great
Britain and her allies to force certain
changes In its international policy.
The advocates of a return to unre-
stricted submarine warfare in Ger
many are using this as an argument
for their suggestion in Germany and
as proof that the United States has
one policy for Germany and another
for her enemies.
All the confidential information
reaching here from Germany is to the
effect that these arguments are hav-
ing strong effect on that section of
the Geman press which heretofore
has been advocating retaining friend
ly relations with the United States,
and 1t is pointed out that whether
there shall be a complete change in
sentiment throughout Germany will
largely depend upon what the United
States does in handling the British
boycott.
