government and defeating whatever
 armies they can muster. The war will
 not be a long one. in my opinion, sr
 far as the real heavy fighting Is con
 cerned, although it will probably take
 sometime to bring about the subjec-
 tion of many of the bands of maraud-
 CTS and bandits who will seek refuge
 in the mountains and other places diff
 ficult to reach.
 'As for being prepared, the United
 States has unlimited quantities of all
 kinds of artillery. munitions, guns--in
 fact, everything that is needed for the
 war As to the men. in addition to tn.
 regular army we have 160, ,000 militia men who are being recruited under the new army bill. Of course, our navy will be able to effectually cut off all supplies of every kind from Mexico and since they have no facilities worth ,, mentioning for making their own muni- tions, that will operate against them heavily. Of course. the Mexican situ- ation is a serious problem, but the outlook for it's proper and definite so- lution in the near future is most en-
 couraging."
 LITTLE POLITICAL TALK Senator Underwood stated that there had been very little political discus sion in Washington during the past week or more. the turn taken by the | Mexican situation having completely superseded politics in the mind and at- tention of public officials

TO CARE FOR s5,ooo MEN

San Antonio, Tex, June 27-Prepara- | tion for the placing and maintenance of the National Guard untis were being 1 made all along the border today. While the quartermasters department was working out details for caring for more
 than S5,000 additional men, General Funston and his staff were engaged in revising and fixing the long list of troop stations to make possible the starting of a big sweeping army across the border and at the same time leave adequate protection for the border | towns and ranches on the American side | of the boundary line.
 Reports from General Pershing's column and from the forces along the border reached headquarters more fre- quently than on other days but almost all these had to do with the routine of a big army and carried no news of clashes with Mexicans. either bandits or troops of the de facto government
 Army officers were eager for news | from Washington and Mexico City that would determine the character of the army's action Their own reports told of continued concentration of Mexican forces within striking distance of the border but there appeared no indication that Carranza was planning anything but defensive movement. The strong est Mexican border garrison is at Piedras Negras, opposite Fl Paso Tex. although a few men still are held at other points.
 The reported intention of the Sonora commanders to send force of some 1900 men through Naco to Bisbee, pre- sumably to raid the copper plants there, appeared today to have been abandoned. 1 if such was the object of the movement | of troops to Naco.

Details of the National Guard mobilization now are ir General Funston's hands, His officers are better able to say what has been accomplished and how many men are en- trained for the border than any other army officials The departments reports are incomplete It was Secretary Baker s purpose to cut out all delay through reference to the department when he is- sued his recent order to speed up en- training of the troops.
 CONGRESS IN DEADLOCK
 Congress struck a deadlock today over
 
 dent to draft members of the National Guard into the federal service. The Sen ate yesterday struck out a provision creating a fund of $1,oO0.000 for the re- lief of the families of men called to the colors. When the resolution went to con- ference today the House conferees stood by their original plan and a disagree ment was reported. Both houses prob ably will consider the matter further to- morrow.
 Army officers were not greatly inter- ested in any portion of the resolution except that authorizing consolidation of incomplete units. They feel that with out such authority the work of getting the guardsmen to the border is being delayed. So far as the draft provision is concerned there is no great urgency. as it is intended for the present to use the guardsmen only on the border.
 The House failed to reach today the $26,0O00OO urgent deficiency bill founded on war department estimates of what is needed for pay transportation and equip ment of guardsmen. This is only a pre- liminary measure to cover immediate needs and additional appropriations will have to follow it, if hostilities come.

CARRANZA MUST ACCEDE OR WAR WILL BE RESULT,
 THINKS MIR. UNDERWOOD
Senator Says Nation Is Splendy Prepared and Believes War Will Be Short-Discussion of Mexican Situation Has
 Thrown Politics Entirely In Background

War with Mexico seems imminent, part of Carranza to the demands of the President can avert even temporarily an early declaration of hostilities by the United States. in the opinion of Senator Oscar w. Underwood, who reached Birmingham yesterday after noon.
 Regarding the national campaign, the senator expressed the opinion that the issues between the two parties and their presidential candidates would not be clearly defined until each wrote his letter accepting the nomination.
 War with Mexico seems imminent" |" said Senator Underwood. "The Mexi- cans must accept at once and without parleying all the terms of the latest note from the President to avert hos tilities even for a time and they must also bring about law and order in their country along our border. Up to the present time. none of the leaders of the various factions and forces in the southern country has been able to do this and it hardly seems reasonable to hope that Carranza can do it either. Without this definite and immediate re storation of law and order. war or in tervention must come.
 FOR ORDER ALONG BORDER
 This war is made necessary not so much by the happenings in which Americans in Mexico have been mis- treated and their property confiscated as Dy the lar icy that the United States cannot longer tolerate along her borders a state of anarchy, which is constantly interfer- Ing With the peace and safety of her own citizens within the bounds of the United States The situation in Next co is continual menace to the peace and safety of American territory and American citizens. and in my opinion, Will not be longer tolerated
 If the President asks Congress to declare war and take the necessary steps to make the declaration effective there can belno doubt that he will re- celve the wholehearted and almost unanimous support of both houses of Congress. Any solution of the present situation he offers will be backed up by Congress without serious opposition. There is general feeling in Washing ton among officials that the time is now at hand when the President is going to call TOT war and bring to bear all the resources of the nation in an immediate effort to bring about law and order and remove the menace which has threat ened our border for sometime
