Far from trying to reach an agree
ment that would be sensible and

the United States sends a so-called
punitive expedition into Mexican ter
ritory and prolongs the conflict in
stead of settling it through diplomatic
channels. Historic precedents do not
uphold these proceedings.
I'VE have yet the right to believe
that President Wilson, who knows how
to face the great crisis of the Euro
pean war, who has proclaimed and
sustained his pacific theories, who has
seen through the schemes Of fiilibus-
tiers and who has opened his arms to
the Latin American Republic in an
appeal for continental solidarity I'M
der the Munroe Doctrine, will not
retrace his steps, will not tear up the
foundations of his prestige by unchain-
ing a war which nothing can justify,
and sacrifice a people already weak
ened and bled by their internal strug-
giles.
Against such a war are the collec-
tive interests of both countries, but if,
unfortunately we are dragged into
such war, President Wilson may rest
assured that never again will the Unit
ed States have the confidence of

for Mexico, while one Mexican stands

his home, his religion, his honor"

Washington, May 9.-After an early

tary there is not an iota of truth in re-
ports from the border that General OBJ
RECON had demanded the withdrawal of
also that Mexican troops had been dis
posed during the Ell Paso conference so
as to threaten General Pershing's line of

that increased vigilance be exercised by
the American border authorities against
activities of the enemies of both coun-
tries who, he said, were seeking to force
them into war by border raids.

ton of calling guardsmen from other
states into service was not under i'm
mediate consideration. 1t was learn
ed however, that Gen. Funston already
had been supplied with all papers, forms
and instructions necessary to muster
into service the guardSmen of all states
near the border and that ordnance and
quart ermasters stores to outfit all such
troops on a full war basis are held at
convenient points for quick distribu-
ton.
Mr.. Baker refused to discuss reports
that Gen. Funston had urged that he
be given total of 900 men to MAIN
tain the border guard. Including the
troops ordered out today there will be
nearly $4,000 soldiers, perhaps $4,000
along the border or in Mexico, accord
ing to the best available figures here.
First Time under New Law
Calling out the national guard for
the first time under the present mi
litia law brings up the fact that, as
written, that act authorizes the Presi-
dent to use the state soldiers either
within or without United States terri
tory. The provision authorizing the use
of the guardsmen as such beyond the
border was held to be unconstitutional
by Former Attorney General Wickere
sham. 1t never has been passed upon
by the supreme court, however, and the
President has full legal authority to en-
ploy the state forces beyond the border
if he so desires. Only an Injunction
against the war department would pre-
vent it.
BY the terms Of the law the guardsmen
must be mustered into the service of the
United States before they come under
complete control of the federal govern
various states make the acceptance of
theis federal status obligatory, however,
and no question Of volunteering is in
volved in the present situation The fun
enrolled strength of each regiment called
out is liable for service under penalty
of court or courtmartial action.
The state department was advised today
that a Villa band had attacked the town
of Colima, in the state of that name
twice and that train in that vicinity
had been attacked recently. The Nogales
dispatch Mazatlan, Guayamas, Topolbam-
pc, were all reported quiet.
The department sought additional infor-
nation today as to the fate of several
civilians reported captured by the raiders.
A message from Ell Paso said that J. De-
mer, L. Coy and r. r. Harbrock of Glenn
Springs We're alive.

escape of seven Americans captured at

With glory, said the Nationalist leader.
He opposed conscriE ton for Ireland
because he believed compulsion the
worst possible way to get men in Ire

liberate opinion was that it would be
insane to attempt to force CONSUMPTION
and it would be a fearful responsible
ity, if, in the face of this deliberate
opinion, Ulster men should persist in
the attempts to force CONSUMPTION up
on Ireland.

not only for the sake of Ireland, but
for the sake Of the Empire, not to pro-

of this turmoil and tragedy we may
evolve some means of putting an end to
these difficulties SO that we may have a
