WASHINGTON, March 2S.-A full investigation of the circumstances of the raid on Columbus. N. NJ. by Villa and his bandits has been ordered by the war department. General Funston has been directed to take the matter up as soon as Colonel Slocum, com manding the Thirteenth cavalry and such of his men as took part in re- pulsing the bandit, return from Mexico
 So far the department has no off cial report of what took place except for brief telegraphic dispatches. The officers and men of the Thirteenth cavalry have been too busy with the pursuit of Villa for appearance be- fore a court of inquiry. The orders to General Funston became known to- night when abstracts of Secretary Bakers report were before the house appropriations committee in connec- tion with the emergency $S.0000 900 ap- prOpriation bill became available. The appropriation bill provides fol "A additional aeroplanes among other things. In this connection Mir. Baker said
 There is no present intention o1 buying "A machines. The first thing will be to buy eight machines and experiment with them to get the 1 best type we can of those that have
 been developed for European service 1 General Funston thinks that h,
 should have eight machines in addi
 tion to these the has now. They vii be used on scout duties.

ris It is their contention that Harris has used the guard as means to play politics and advaece certain schemes calculated to benefit both himself and Governor Hunt. In fact. the direct charge of incompetence was flung at him.
 It has been known for some time that the war department has been urging the removal of Harris. Last December Assistant Secretary of War Breckenridge, in a letter to Governor Hunt. stated emphatica1ly that the re- ,ention of Harris was not for the bene- fit of the guard, and that Harris atti- tude towards the war department was one of poorly yelled hostility" He also said that Harris had opposed every rule and regulation of the de- partment designed to make the guard efficient for national service. in case of need. instead of state service.

 SECOND NAVAL POWER OF WORLD
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Asslst- ant Secretary Roosevelt recommended 1 to the house naval committee today that the United States navy be restor- | ed as soon as possible to second place among the world powers on the sea. Answering hypothetical questions by committee members who were inter- ested ins comparing the German and American navies he said the United States could outstrip Germany in a
 race for naval supremacy. Personally
 he favored building program this year larger than that recommended in the Administrations five-year proposals. Mir. Roosevelt will complete his tes- timony tomorrow morning, and as the l final witness of it's preparedness in quiry, the committee plans to call Sec retary Daniels tomorrow afternoon. While the assistant secretary declin ed to discuss naval policies, which he said were within Secretary Daniels province, he gave his personal views | in advocacy of large and immediate naval upbuilding In case of war he said the United States would need 225, 900 men for it's navy, judging from Eng lands experience in her naval forces since the war began. The administra-
 tion's five-year program alone, he
 stated, would entail doubling the pres ent number of men and officers.
 | The navy at present. MT Roosevelt 1 asserted, was not sufficient to cope with a first class power, or combin- ation of lesser powers, if the govern
 ments policy was to protect both coasts, the Panama Canal, it's outlying possessions and maintain it's national policy with respect to Latin America iCheaper labor and material, he said, ienabled Germany to build and main- tain her navy at less cost than this nation.

WASHINGTON, March 2s-Diplo- matic and domestic aspects of the Mexican problem overshadowed it's military side here tonight, official re- ports from General Funston disclosing no change in the situation on the border or in Mexico. Congress rushed through an emergency appropriation of $S,611.502 to pay for the pursuit of the bandits, and the state department prepared to press General Carranza for permission to use Mexican rail- roads to solve the troops supply problem.
 Fears expressed in press reports from the border that failure to ob- tain use of the railroad might ser iously hamper the pursuit of Villa were not expressed at the state or war departments.
 The communication to General Car ranza will be made through special Representative Rodgers. at Quareta- reo to whom instructions went for ward tonight. State department offi- cials said it seemed necessary to press upon the de facto government the need for special consideration of the request to use the lines south from the border without awaiting the per 1 fecting of the protocol under negoti- ation.
