APPREHENSION FOR
PEOPLE AT TAMPICO
Reported in Washington That Villa
Being Financed by Followers of
Huerta and the SO.Called
Church Party.

Washington, March 23.-It was adj
mitted at the state department to-
night that there is grave apprehen-
sion" for the safety of Americans and
other foreigners in the Tampico dis
trict.
No dispatches have come from there
since Tuesday. Until that time, daily
reports had been received by wireless
from the United States gunboat Ma
chias.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels said
tonight that the battleship Kentucky
will reach Tampico tomorrow. He
has ordered the commander to send
daily reports on the situation.
Congressional circles were much
interested today in report that Villa
is being financed by followers of HUI
erta, through whom he has obtained
considerable supply of ammunition
and arms. This information, it is
said, is in the possession of the ad-
ministration. 1t is also charged that
the so-called church party is giving
him substantial aid.
Among individual senators, these
reports were held to mean that the
president and his advisers realize now
that the pursuit of Villa is but the
beginning of the final settlement of
the Mexican question.
Unless Carranza makes new pro-
posals, there will be no further delay
in reaching an agreement that will
provide for joint military action and
the use of railroads by the American
troops.

Paris, March 23.-The crown prince
gave his infantry rest today at
Verduns but all last night and since
early morning every German cannon
apparently has been laundering on
both sides of the Mouse.
This tremendous and sustained
bombardment is taken as indicating
that the Germans are preparing for
another infantry drive or are masking
an extension of the battle front.
1t would cause no surprise to mill
tary men to see a continuous en-
gagement from Zaquois, in the Ar
gonne, to Eparges, in the Woevre
At the same time, the Germans prob
ably would make attacks elsewhere
in order to prevent the French from
massing reserves to the Verdun front
The French admit withdrawal
from Haucourt hill, in the Melincourt
region west of lie Mort Homme dead

victory attained by a frightful cost to
the Teutons.
Az unofficial estimate places the
German losses in the Melincourt at
tacks at 10000. Three divisions were
employed.

House Goes on Record as
Being Squarely Behind
President Wilson.
ACT MAKES 1924, 100
SOLDIERS AVAILABLE
Measure Also Gives President and
Secretary Of War Authority to Meh'-
i!ize Industrial Resources in
Time OF War.

Washington, March 23.--The Hay
army reorganization bill, the first Of
the administration preparedness
measures. was passed by the house
late today, by vote of 402 to 2. The
vote placed the house on record
squarely behind the president III his
program for increased national de-
Tense.
AS it passed the house, the Hay bill
provides:
First. a regular army of 100000
men, an increase of 10000 over the
present authorized strength.
Second, g federalized militia of 420,-
600 men, under the control Of the
federal government.
Third, a system of reserves. re-
cruited from retiring members of both
the regular army and the militia.
Fourth, a reserve officers corps Of
50,G09, recruited from graduates of
military schools under federal super
vision
Fifth, federal pay for officers and
enlisted men of the national guard.
Sixth authority for the president
and secretary Of war to make Yians
for the mobilization of the industrial
| resources of the country in time Of
/, war.
Socialist aud Republican Oppose.
The two men who voted against
the Hay bill in its final form we're
Representatives Britten of Illinois
and Meyer London, the New York
Socialist. Britten declared that the
Hay bill did not constitute sufficient
provision fer land defense, and as
serted that he would not vote for a
"ridiculous" measure. The Socialist
said he was opposed to any increase
in the standing army.
Representative Gardner of Massa-
chusetts succeeded in forcing into
the bill a provision which practically
provides a one-year enlistment term
for the army. His amendment, which
was tentatively adopted yesterday
provides that while the regular en-
listment shall be for seven years, the
secretary of war may issue furlongh
to any enlisted man who has served
one year, and whose superior officer
certifies he is proficient and, suffi-
GENTLY trained.
The house allowed to remain in the
bill clause authorizing the secre-
tary of war to maintain camps for
the instruction of civilians in military
affairs, and to employ the officers
and enlisted men of the army, and
equipment, for such camps.
1,324.79O Available.
Chairman Hay declared that the en-.
actment of the measure would make
available for the national defenses
1924 100 trained men.
The Hay bill will go to the senate
tomorrow and administration leaders
there will make an effort to secure
a report from the military affairs
committee, which will bring the meas
ure before the upper body by the be-
ginning Of next week.

the star and sensation OF the 1915 foot.
ball season. He is regarded by foot
ball experts as one OF the greatest
PLAYERS IN the game. 1t was Pol
lard's great playing that made pos
sible the triumph of Brown over Har-
ward AMI Yale. He has been the back
bone of Browns great hammering at
tack which brought that team through
season with only one defeat.
When he is not playing football or

cago, is manipulating the flatiron He
is working his way through college

not learn of Poilard's great football
ability until the latter part of last
season when lie sauntered onto the
field one day and asked to be allowed
to don a uniform.
On being questioned by the coaches
Pollard said that he had played some
football at high school in Chicago.
BY the time he had played in practise
a few times the coaches decided there

WATCH ALL.STAR
team new YEARS
National Guard to Meet Pick Of
Army at Post; Game Should
Prove to Be Real Battle

One Of the biggest football cards
of the year VIII be staged on New
Years Day at Schofield when the Ma
tional Guard team. champion or Ha-
wall, meets a team picked from the
army. Lieuts Smith, Arnold. Cohen
and Jones are lining up the best men
of the list and 32nd Infantry teams
and it is certain that the squad will
be strong one.
With Tuschynske and Steger on the
team in the backfield the squad will
have two good men to hit the line and
run the ends. There are number Of
excellent players on the two elevens.
and with strong coaching staff the
team from Schofield should give the
guard players q great game. The
guard will have two sets Of backs to
work in this game, while II Is expected
that the Schofield squad will also
make arrangements for two sets OF
backfield men.
The two teams will be as evenly
matched as Il Is possible for two
squads TO be. according to the Scho-
field fans, and there is certain to be
a record crowd out to the game.
Schofield has been anxious TO see the
National Guard team In action and
without doubt more than 5000 VIII be
present when the whistle blows.
Schofield has always turned out
big crowd for football and II Is ex-
pected that number of guard fans
will motor out to the game to cheer
the team on In their battle with the
All-Stars. The 32nd Infantry has
number of stars, as was shown ID the
game Christmas Day, and with the
leading players OF the 1st Infantry
added, the spectators are due for a
good match on New Years.

SUGGESTS SPORT
CARNIVAL in 1918

Honolulu should begin active work
on the plan to stage big athletic
carnival here" said Amos Elliott. ath-
letie director OF Stockton high school.
Monday. 1t is plan that cannot help
but succeed We raised the funds to
bring team here. and dfi II at a
time of the year when things were
not exactly ripe for tour.
There are very few high school
boys in America today who would not
be pleased To make a trip to Hawaii.
There is something of the romantic
about it that appeals to them. aud we
had many candidates for the trip.
The money was raised by giving
shows, entertainments and subscrip-
tions, and | am sure that other
schools could do what we have &C
complishsd.
IF track meet was staged II would
give the Students so much more to
work for. They would have IN oppor-
tunfty OF competing with other stu
dents from one end OF the United
States to the, other. 1t would be a
real education, as well as bringing the
teams together in a real school spirit.
If the students of the school were
given one years time to raise the
funds, I am sure that Honolulu would
be able to welcome 200 athletic teams
Stockton will be in the field 1T all
times to send a team.
I'VE would be pleased to have one
of the local teams come to Stockton in
1917, and viii gladly entertain them.
II Honolulu stages big athletic car
'nival in 1913, we will do everything
in our mower to boost the plan We
have had most enjoyable stay in
Honolulu. and know that Hawai-: will
welcome big delegation In The right
way"
The Stockton students left Honolu-
lu Tuesday On the Great North
ern, and despite their defeats here
were pleased with their visit. The
boys have been popular. and made
many friends during their short so
journ in Hawaii. Honolulu students
are anxious to make the trip to Stock
ton at the invitation of the visiting
athletes.

Many Athletic
Fans hdorse
Olympiod Plan

Zone of the greatest plans to bring
Hawaii to the fore in the athletic
world" said Frank Midlxiff of Puma
hou in speaking of the project to
bring over 200 or 800 teams from
the mainland to an Olympiad meet in
Honolulu in 1918. 1T is possible, aft
er what Stockton has done. and would
be big boon for the sport"
The plan to invite 400 high schools
and preparatory schools in America
to come to Honolulu in 1918 has met
the approval of all lovers of athletics
and boosters for Hawaii. Inasmuch
as there are more than 400 schools on
the mainland with a larger student
body than Stockton high school it is
certain that at least half that many
can do as well as Stockton.
Expense Same
Stockton sent IL students here
without any aid from Hawaii" said a
prominent booster for athletics today.
They planned the campaign and
made good. 1t is certain that with a
committee working in Honolulu they
could have done better. The expense
|of sending IL students from Stockton
high school to Honolulu would be
about equal to sending six students
from Portland, Maine or Key West,
Florida That would give every high
school in America an opportunity to
send at least six students. This
comes down to the question as to
whether the other schools would be
as live as Stockton.
''Coneeding that only half the
schools. all larger than Stockton, are
as filled with interest for Hawaii and
imbued with the idea of athletics ana
education, it would give Hawaii 1900
students for competition 1t would
make up the biggest track meet ever
held in America, as the Pennsy games
only drew 1000.
Another thing that must be consid-
cred which would make the plan cas-
Ter for the schools is the bigness of it
all. Newspapers throughout the main
land would carry stories of the meet,
and interest would be aroused univer-
sally. Then with 1900 students COM
ing here the rates would be much
cheaper than for only party of II.
All that 1t would cost Hawaii in the
beginning would be the invitations
and follow-up letters. 1t is big pro-
ject," he concluded.
