By Representative S. H. Dent of
Alabama:
Judging from the facts which 1 have
before me, 1 do not think the troops
should be withdrawn.
By Representative Julius Kahn of
California:
I think that any withdrawal of our
troops under threats of Obregcn and
Carranza would be an indication that
we are towards. 1t would make our
position infinitely worse than as if we
held our ground.
As Others See It.
Officials and army officers believing
wilson intends to withdraw the troops
describe the Mexican situation today
as follows
First-The furore and the publicity
attending the calling out of the nation
al guard and the rushing of troops to
the border were designed for political
effect. 1t was believed by the admin
tration that the popular and congress
s1onal demand for action could be con-
trolled.
Second-That President Wilson did
not mean to fight was demonstrated
to army and navy officers when Amer
lean caValrymen were ambushed and
massacred at Carrizal and the United
States army was not ordered to avenge
that barbarity.
Third-High army officers at the
border and in Mexico have written to
their wives in Washington and other
parts of the country assuring them
that they did not believe President
Wilson means business.
Fourth-Neither the army nor the
navy has a scrap of paper to indicate
that either must be ready to do GER
tain thing at a certain time even in the
event of an emergency
Fifth-The most powerful lieutenant
of CarranZa, Gen. Alvaro Obregon, is
now an outspoken pacifist He has
assured the Mexican populace that
there will be no war.
Sixth-The influence of William
Jennings Bryan again dominates the
administration and the president has
returned to the Mexican policy of his
former secretary of state.
SeVenth-Great Britain opposes war
between the United States and Mexico,
believing it would stop the flow of oil
from the Tampico and Tuxpam fields
to the allies. 1t is believed here that
# the United States should muddle
the Mexican situation any worse than
it is at present England would inter-
even in the Tampico-Tuxpam region
to protect the vast oil interests of her
nations.
1t was declared today that the

The offers come from persons in
all walks of life; native and natural
lied citizens, white men, black men
and red men.
If war comes, Theodore Roosevelt
will offer his services, together with
a full division of volunteer troops,
totaling $4,000. During the past
two or three weeks the colonel has
been in communication with friends
in many parts of the United States,
asking each to get together a squad
of twenty-five men. The result is
that he now stands ready to offer the
government two brigades of cavalry,
one brigade of infantry, and one bri-
gade of field artillery.
Representative ]. @. Tilson of Con-
necticut was the first member of con-
gress to join the colors. He is now
at the Mexican border.
Senator Edwin s. Johnson of South
Dakota has asked the war depart
ment if it could use from 500 to
1000 Sioux Indians from the Green
wood, Rosebud, Pine Ridge, Chey-
enne, Lower Brule and Standing
Rock agencies. He told Secretary
Baker that the Sioux Indians would
make capital soldiers in the Mexican
country and that they are very eager
to so. Secretary Baker has not given
Senator johnson a definite answer.
