thousands of National Guardsmen were
moving over %cCnverging lines today

tiers that these measures were taken
to render more difficult any attempt
that might be made to wreck trains.
Information obtained by the inteili-
gence officers has indicated that such
an attempt might be made.
1t was hoped at General Funston's
headquarters that the greater part OF
the troops now moving would be on
the border by Saturday night and that
early in the coming week such DISPOSE
ton would be effected as to rende
available for prompt action the heaV-
lily reinforced army along the interna-

RELIEVED BY NEW TURN

which had gripped the border since the
CarriZal encounter relaxed perceptibly
today as a result of the safe return to
the American side of the 90 troopers Of
the Tenth cavalry and the American
scout taken prisoner in the engage
ment.
Stories told by the soldiers that they
had suffered no ill-treatment at the

himself as believing that the first step
looking toward a peaceful solution Of
the problem has been taken and that
others would follow shortly.

Chihuahua are being held, it was stated
that it probably viii be several days
before it can be determined whether
any Of the soldiers contracted any OF

WILL NOT
APPOINT COLONEL
Mo Chance For Teddy and
Wood to Win Military Glory
Under Present Ad-
ministration.

Washington. d. c.. July 1.-Colonei
Theodore Roosevelt will not be per-
mitted by President Wilson o. he
present administration to lead as q
major general a division of volunteers
to the defense Of the border, even
though Colonel Roosevelt should Or
ganize such a division.
Neither will Major General Wood,
who ranks the other active major
generals of the army, be sent to COM
mand on the border or to head a divi-
sion into Mexico, should war come.
Political considerations have cut
both of these leaders from the spot
light in n military emergencies that
the country might have to face.
Congress cannot help because the
president alone has the power to APP
point the officers to command the vol
unteer troops that may be called or
taken into h regular service, or to
make details for the regular officers to
important commands Of regular troops
engaged in active service.
Roosevelt Plan Out.
Friends Of Colonel Roosevelt, hoping
to move congress to accept his offer Of
a volunteer division. have discussed
and rejected the possibility of naming
Colonel Roosevelt by special act as
major general in command of his vol
unteer division. Congress tried this
once, but it's action was held invalid.
Both Colonel Roosevelt and General
Wood have become too active ! n con
nection with the Hughes campaign
for President Wilson to allow any
favors to be extended to them by the
democratic administration Colonel
Roosevelt has been q constant critic
of President Wilson, and his recent
letter to the progressives, indorsing
Hughes, did not please the Wilson
people.
Counts Against Wood.
While General Wood has taken no
active part in politics, the admins
tration leaders have several counts
against him. These started with the
generals invitation a year ago to
Colonel Roosevelt to attend the Platts-
burg rookie camp, where General
Wood was in charge.
The colonel made q speech critics.
ing the democratic administration on
that occasion, and General Wood was
brought to book by the then secre-
tary of war, Lindley M. Garrison, for
having permitted the speech.
Since then General Wood has been q

given more or less political significance
caller on Mr.. Hughes, following the
%latter's nomination for the presidency.
1t is known here that Colonel Roose-
Welt has been organizing his volunteer
division for more than two years, ex-
pecting need for it In war with Mexico
He has selected all his officers from the
rank of retired regular army men OF
those who have been permitted to re-
sign by h war department. His men
for the division have been picked with
an eye both to infantry and cavalry
service that they might be more effec-
tive than were the rough riders Of the
