 WILL GUARD TRAINS
 General Funston has made it plain to the war department that his only desire to rse the road is for the transportation of supplies, but he has not concealed the fact that a guard would be placed on every train, and that 1t might become necessary to station guards at different points along the right of way.
 General Pershing has advised Gen. eral Funston that he has found quan- titles of alfalfa for his animals, but that he has experienced difficulty in getting fresh beef.
 The question of occupying cities and towns in Mexico is not worrying those at headquarters.
 Our troops will be too busy to camp in any place long, nor would we con slider it wise, on account of sanitary conditions, to do so," said one of the headquarters officials.
 Whether the troops marched through Galeana or marched around 1t on thelr way south is not known here. General Pershing did not report on that point.

FOREIGN POLICY OF PRESIDENT WILSON
 DEPENDED BY DENT
 IN TELLING SPEECH
,continued from Page One,

Captain McNal1y, who appeared before
 your committee, a man of known dar- ing and a bold leader in those border fights, declares upon oath that no com pensation, however great, could induce him to incur the danger which every of the country between the Rio Grande and Nueces incurs every day, and that he considers his life, as a man

whose business is war, safer than tha. of any inhabitant of that district De- liberately and with full conviction, as this opinion is stated by one who is familiar with that country and all the facts, as a perusal of his evidence wall show, it is fearful in its weight, and should come home to the heart and mind of every American.
 In coming to the manner in which protection can be given, we must state it as the unanimous opinion of all mili- tary men familiar with that border that protection can only be complete if the commanding officer of our troops can. whenever he finds robbers in the act or carrying off their booty, follow them up, even across the river, punish or kill them, and retake the property of our citizens. They are unanimous in stating that merely defensive policy would give imperfect protection, even if a large force were maintained there at great expense
 TRADITIONAL POLICY
 'I might read more of this report, MT. Chairman, because 1t bears upon this situation directly, but mention 1t and call attention to It in conenction with the fact that MT. Wilson's policy is being internationally polite to Mexico, if may so express it, was the policy of President Johnson, it was the policy of President Grant, and it was the policy of President Taft, whom President Wilson succeeded. So that 1t may be said to be a truly American policy.
 But today we stand in a different situation. Today we are confronted with the fact that band of robbers and plum cerers has not only entered the borders of our country from Mexican soil, but has actually attacked a town under the guard of United States soldiers, and has actually had battle with them. I hope, and I believe that every American is with me in this proposition, that this in cident will mean that these border troubles will and must be settled for all time to come" '(Applause)

 British battle cruiser Lion, injured in the Dogger Bank engagement in January, 1915 Tt is the general impression that had it been necessary to tow this vessel very much further it would have been impossible to save her." the letter said.
 Representative Whaley, before the House naval committee, urged the im- provement of Charleston harbor. He quoted Secretary Daniels and Admiral Benson in support of his position that first class navy yard should be estab- lished at Charleston. He declared Charles ton was the deepest port on the South Atlantic coast, had splendid rail and water communication and good fla cilities for coaling and oil. In two wars he said, it's defenses have been attacked but never taken.
 PRESENTS NORFOLK'S CLAIMS
 Representative Holland of Virginia presented Norfolk's claims. He quoted reports and statements of the navy de- partment in support of Norfolk's con- tentions that it was the ideal naval base. Citing Norfolk's proximity to Hamp on Roads and Chesapeake Bay he said establishment of first class naval base there was vital to the scheme of national defense.
 Rear Admiral Benson's testimony last Friday urging a first class naval base at San Francisco instead of at the Bremerton yard in Puget Sound called out a storm of protest from Washington state representatives. A plea for appropriations for a 1700- Moot dry dock, a government armor manufacturing plant and other install lations at the Philadelphia navy yard was made by Representative Ware of Pennsylvania. He said these matters were essential to national defense. Representative Britten of Illinois objected to the committees spending today and tomorrow hearing reports | in Congress on their 'personap' bills for yards in their districts. instead ot proce ceedings speedily with the naval bill for which the House and the country are waiting.

 ''The Neer-Do-We WelP' is a great pie ture. It lacks the sensational appeal of "The Birth of a Nation," and in- cidently the wonderful orchestra that was of such material aid to the great Griffith spectacle, but it tells story of modern life, in a modern way, in which virile acting predominates.
 Rex Beach, one of the foremost of American novelists, wrote "The Ne'er- po.Well." It is one of his best stories, a worthy successor of '"The Spoilers and "The Barrier" Colin Campbell, che of the few great directors in the motion picture industry directed the limitation of '"rhe Ne'er-Do-W and the leading characters were en- trusted in the hands of Wheeler Oak man and Miss Kathryn Williams.
 Throughout the 10 reels of 'The Ne 'er- -Do-WelP' there is not the slight est touch of vulgarity, and the scenes of strong emotional power are handled with the artistry demanded by the novel.
 The operation of a Panama fire de- partment is not the least interesting of the many scenes in and near the Canal zone. In the opening real of '.The er-Do-Well there Is hand to-hand combat that is one of the most realistic ever presented in motion pie lures. They actually fight
 On the whole '"rhe Ne'er-Do-W is unreservedly commended to the general public of the Birmingham dis trict.

The hat and neckwear shown in the
sketch today are copied from the eight
zenith century from an English portrait
of a lady of that time. 1t is one of the
newest explorations of the French mil
liners.
The hat is of gray tulle. puffed to
stand out like an irregular balloon. and
the headband is of silver ribbon. The
ruche is of white silk net, wired and
scalloped.
II is easier to wear this kind of
hat than the high-shaped one made Of
stiff material. The transparency of the
tulle lends softness to the face. The
shape II would seem from present indi-
cations is to be the leading one for the

NEW YORK, March 1s.-We are
reckoning with several and varied pc
RODS of dress this spring of 1916.
We know the new fashions from
Paris have all been shown and that
there is no doubt that the Louis Nv pc
Rod has made the strongest impress on
the whole output. Women, however.
will not follow the fashions of women
in that period to the exclusion of the
fashions of men. The designers have
borrowed the faring satin coats, the
long sleeves with rufies. the elaborate
touches of Chinese embroidery and Chi
nese designs in fabrics that marked the
reign Of the pompadour.
Here and there, there il q touch Of
orientalism. no; 50 much in color a. in
silhouette. and even enc middle ages
offer a vast number of touches. with
their slashed sleeves. waistless frocks
and half-low. round decolletage.
Two well known brides, one of whom
married an English nobleman, exploit
ed the costume of Louis X1 in their
bridal robes. One wore the headgear
called the "hennin." made of gathered
tulle and draped with lace and tulle;
tine Otner wore superb "Hite sdtih'
embroidered robe, that hung from
shoulders to ground and was caught
low on the hips with splendid bits OF
ornamentation that fiattened il into the
figure. This. by the way, is the newest
and most striking of all the wedding
gowns that Paris has sent out for sew
eral years The bride-elect who wants
something new may care to go in FOR
