MILITIA Of THREE
STATES CALLED TO
MEXICAN BORDER

Washington. May 9.--Secretary OF
War Baker today announced that
President Wilson had authorized the
calling out OF the Militia Of the states
OF Arizona, Texas and New Mexico
for service on the Mexican border.
Secretary OF Baker issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"The outbreak In the Big Bend dis
trict so further emphasized the dan
ger Of similar occurrences that the
president called out the militia OF
Texas. Arizona and New Mexico and
directed them 10 report to General
Funston. who will assign them TO
stations along the border.
I'm addition two regiments OF re-
gulars have been directed TO proceed
TO the border and such further ar
rangements will be made as may be
necessary to complete the security OF
the people against raids Of this char
acter."
The following units OF Infantry
have been ordered to the border;
The 30th OF Plattsburg. N. Y:
Third OF oswego. N. Y; 2lst OF Van
couver. Wash. and the l4th OF Fort
Lawton. Wash, The militia OF the
three states totals about 1000 men.
Baker would not say whether the
orders were the result OF General
Scotts message. He declared they
we're based on recommendations from
Scott and General Funston with re-
gard to the Texas raid. Baker would
not deny or affirm that General obre-
gon had demanded the withdrawal OF
American troops on penalty OF q
clash.
Arredondo named I. Villareal as
the principal agitator responsible for
the raid and plots. He said he had
no indication OF a further request
from General Obregon or any Mexi-
can officials that the American troops
be withdrawn. All he knew was that
General Scott and 0bregon were still
comforting. He urged that larger
body OF United States troops be sta
toned to guard the American border
and watch the conspirators who were
among Carranzlstas and infiame bor-
der sentiment. Lansing will take up
the charges Immediately with Secre-
tary OF War Baker.
Funston Is given full powers to
dispose OF the troops az he sees best.
The forces are available for service
In Mexico II needed, The presidents
step does not require action by con-
gress unless the militia should cross
the border, In such event, the ma
tlonal guardsmen will be enrolled as
volunteers, losing their status as
militia.

SEND 1000. MORE
TROOPS TO BORDER

Washington, May 9,---Seven thous-
and fresh .troops--4,ooo militia and
1900 regulars-7were ordered to the
Mexican border today. The things
which II is believed have made this
step necessary was the demand OF
General Alvaro Obregon that q time
limit be e'placed on the American ok
'neditlon,s, stay In Mexico, the refusal
OF the cabinet to accept this and Am
bassador Arredondo's charge that
more raids on United States soil we're
being engineered from the United
States side OF the border. ~
Secretary OF War Baker expected
that the militia Of New Mexico. Ari-
zona and Texas would reach the
boundary line within "a hours.

incident, The status Of German-Am-
erican relations today is as follows:
II Germany is unwilling to abide
by international law in its submarine
operations except in return for sue
cessful United States negotiations
with England, she must say so de-
finitely. BY acceptance Of President
Wilson's note with its declaration
that England's policies do not enter
into settlement of the issue, Germany
can bring the matter to an end.
Pending word from Berlin, the
president assumes that this is Ger
many's intent. Full acceptance Of the
American terms is anticipated by the
administration. Anything less than
that, officials say, is likely to mean
the long threatened break.

play a big part in solving this strange
tangle of human lives. A wife wants
to know what she will do with the big
problem of her life? Another wom-

has borne him one child and is about
to bear him another. The wife has
worked to support the first child. She
is working now to pay for the care
of the other woman while she is
awaiting the birth Of the second
child. What shall she do now? She
wants to know whether the people
think she should step aside and let
the other woman have her husband.
Mrs. Paul Boyke, 3311 N. Hermit
age av., is the wife. When her hus-
band confessed to her the wrong he
had done the other she insisted that
he bring her and the baby to their
home. She went to work to help pay
the support of the household. The
other woman stayed at home and
cared for her baby.

time" the wife said. Anybody

my husbands child must be cared for
as my own, and anybody with even
