ALLIES YIELD WAR
ORDERS TO U. 5.
Will Subordinate Their
Munition Contracts to
Nations Needs.

Washington, June 24.-Representa-
tives of the Entente Allies have signi-
fed to the United tSates government
their willingness to subordinate their
munitions contarcts in this country to
the needs of the United tSates in the
present emergency.
This will make it unnecessary for the
War Department to invoke a section
Of the new army organization act
which empowers it to call upon any
manufacturer for goods on hand or In
process Of manufacture needed for the
army.
In this connection II became known
to-day that Secretary Baker will adopt
a recommendation that a suffacient
number Of mchine guns to meet the
needs of the army be taken over from
the private plants filling European con-
tracts.
Action is necessary because LOTT ma
chine guns, sufficient on the present
basis of FIVE 10 a regiment TO meet
only two-thirds Of the demand for the
regular arm ysnd national guard, rep
resent the entire stock Of such weapons
in the possession of the War Depart
ment.
Though It Is highly desirable that
there should be only one type Of guns
and ammunition in the army. the ord
nance officers point out that by careful
distribution the disadvantages can be
minimized, and, in fact, the same con
dition has existed in every preceding
war.
The rev standards, based on Eu-
ropean practice, contemplate the use Of
twelve machine guns instead Of FIVE TO
a regiment, and if this is followed in
equipping the United States army 1t
will be necessary to obtain large guam
titles of the weapons meant for the Al
lies now in the hands Of tho Ameri-
can manufacturers.

PLAN INCREASE
In ARMY BILL
House to Vote $40, 900, 900
to Cover Equipment
of Troops.

Washington, June 24-House leaders,
concerned over financing military move
ments growing out of the Mexican
emergency, are planning an increase OF
S2O.OOO,OOO in the pending army appro-
priation bill. Representative Hay,
chairman of the Military Committee,
said after a conference with Secretary
Baker and other Administration heads
that the increase would be urged next
week.
The money would be added to appro-
priations of supplies, munitions, equip
ment, movement of troops and other
necessary expenses. It is proposed to
turn over 100000 TO the militia sec
ton of the army for purchase Of avia-
ton equipment and training Of opera
tors. The House already has provided
in the bill for S3,2OO.OOO for aviation
70 be used in the regular army.
+ The Appropriations Committee already
is preparing an urgent deficiency bill
to appropriate approximately $6,OOO,OOO
TO cover the expenses Of the organized
militia up TO the end of the official year,
June 80 This would include militia
paw up TO that time and the expense Of
mobilization and subsistence.
On high authority it was said to-day
that serious consideration has not been
given TO the possibility Of issuing
bonds TO meet the extraordinary condi-
tions of the Mexican situation. Unless
war actually is declared such step
will not be deemed necessary. 1t was
nointed out that there is about $780,
100000 in the Treasury general fund,
and that within the next week the in
como tax will be due, which probably
will add at least S75,00O.000 TO that
amount. and give the Treasury enough
TO carry on the government, even with
unusual OUTLAWS for military expense,
/ for several weeks 10 come.
II war were declared, officials said II
would probably be only matter OF a
fou, hours 10 obtain authorization from
I CONGRESS for q bond issue. Authorize
tion already exists for the issue OF
more than 5000, 600 in Panama Canal
bonds TO replenish the Treasury for the
canals construction cost. Such. an
;ssue. in addition TO the general fund
would give altogether more than S4Oo,-
600. enough TO carry on a war Win
Mexico for several months.
The Sl2IOOOOOO sundry civil appro-
nriation bill passed the House late to-
dav and went TO the Senate. During
to-dav's discussion the House rejected
a proposal FOR a 100000 governmee nj nj
war munitions plant, but added S5O,OOo
10 the appropriation for printing farm
! ers' bulletins.
Representative Heating in offering
( the munitions amendment said 1t pre-
sented a vital problem, and that every
United states arsenal, except that "a, az
Rock Island, H., was geographicailyy
located in violation Of tundamennItal
nrinciples laid down by the Army war
College An attempt to have the 81
100000 carried in the bill for enforce
ment of immigration laws increased by
100000 was lost. Representatives
Humphrey, of Washington, and kaKer:
of California, said there was need OF
an increase TO prevent smuggling Oh
Oriental labor into the United states.

an emergency now exists calling for
the use of troops other than regulars,
instead of leaving that question TO be
determined by the President Service
of guardsmen taken into the Federal
army is limited only to "the period OF
the emergency"
The War Department awaits impa-
tiently the passage of the measure.
chiefly because of its consolidation
provision. 1t furnishes machinery I'M
der which the department could gather
up and send to the front promptly all
guardsmen who qualify for Federal
service, without waiting for incom-
plete companies TO be recruited up to
full strength. Days, perhaps weeks,
of delay in sending General Funston
additional troops would be saved, II
is estimated, under this plan.
Half of the Massachusetts, troops
modified at the birmingham camp are
ready 10 be mustered into the Federal
service. The other half will be mus
tered in soon after, so that the whole
force, numbering more than 5000, will
be ready to move 10 the Mexican bor-
der by tomorrow noon.
Pennsylvania to-day mobilized nine
regiments of infantry and a battalion
of engineers at Camp Brumbaugh,
Mount Gretna. Tonight nearly ten
thousand men, in command of Major
General c. NJ. Clement, are under can
vas. Tomorrow the cavalry, artillery
and other auxiliary troops will arrive.
Captain Wells, U. S. A., assigned to
muster in the Michigan National
Guard. has announced that II will re-
qure ten days to make an inventory of
the National Guard property. Until this
is done the Michigan National Guard
will not be reported ready for transfer
to the border.
More than eleven hundred members
Of the 4th Regiment of the South Da-
kota National Guard are encamped in
Redfeld preparatory to transfer to the
Mexican border.

came of the mastering into Federal ser

plement.
Much of tho detail of the mobiliza-
ton of the guard was transferred from
the War Department by Secretary
Bakers order directing that department
commanders rush the men TO the front
as soon as available. Reports of prog

The effort to speed up mobilization
further through the Hay resolution

VILLA WOUNDED
BY CAVALUYMEN
Americans Under Col. DOdd Scatter
Villas Band and Almost Capture
Bandit-VilIa's Career Ended

lei Paso, Texas, April -Four hun
bred American cavalrymen, under the
command of Colonel George A. Dodd,
galloping down from the granite
slopes of the great continental divide,
have fallen in with the main body of
Francisco Villas band at the San
Geronimo ranch, scattering them in
many directions and driving the ban
dit chief wounded and crippled to

tains. villa was hurried from danger
in carriage. The fight opened at s
O'Clock in the morning of March 20,
and continued for several hours
The news of the exploit was flashed
into Juarez yesterday and sent a thrill
along the border. For seventeen hours
the veteran colonel with his picked
troopers of the Seventh and Tenth
Cavalry. drove down the valley of the
Santa Maria river. At the end of a
| nfty-five mile ride they fell upon the
unsuspecting villa camp, where 500
bandits were celebrating the massacre
of 172 Carranza soldiers two days pre-
vious at Guerrero.
Villa shot through the hip and with
one limb shattered, was hurried from
the scene, barely in time to escape the
onslaught of the Americans. The ban
dts made a brief but hopeless stand
before a charge of Colonel Dodd and
| his troopers. Then they broke and

field, including their commander, Gen.

munition and equipment fell into the
hands of the Americans.
Among the known wounded is Pablo
Lopez, Villas lieutenant in the Column
bus raid The American casualties
were four priyates wounded.
The American soldiers did not lin
ger on the field of victory. For five
hours they drove the enemy before
them into the wilderness of mountain
peak, desert and canyon, where roads
or even trails are unknown and where
misstep means death to horse and
rider. They halted only after the
chase had led them ten miles and the
fugitives were scattered into little
bands of half a dozen men each.
Villas career has ended: his power
has been broken. His death or cap
ture is only a question of days, per-
haps only hours. Such is the inev-
table conclusion reached here as
little by little the details OF "Dodd's
ride" reach the border. 1t seems i'm
possible that the crippled bandit can
remain hidden, even in the mountain
GUS wastes in which he has sought
refuge.
