MEXICAN SITUATION
IS LEFT TO WILSON

Washington, March 27.-Failure
Of Senate Republicans to take any
action at a conference today on the
Mexican situation left the admins,
trltlon unhampered IN dealing with
the problem.
The conference was called to con
slider steps to force the sending Of
additional troops to the border. IL
the face Of Official adyIces denying
alarming reports, and General Fun
ston's apparent confidence that he
has enough men for any present
emergency, the Republicans ad
ourned with some Of their leaders
agreeing that there Is nothing to dc
but support the admInlstration's
plans.
The conference instructed Sena,
tor Gallinger, chairman, to issue a
statement setting forth its views as
follows:
Republican senators recognize
that the duty of dealing with the
Mexican Crisis rests with the presl'
dent and they have not at any time
proposed to interfere with any de-
partment of government in that
matter, but they are very solicltous
that the military expedition to Mex
leo shall be adequately protected, If
necessary reinforced, and that the
border shall be provided with forces
sufficient to prevent raids similar to
the one at Columbus.
"While realizing that their infor'
nation may not be complete, they
believed that upon the information
which they have, all available reg
ulars should be sent to the border,
to be reinforced by detachments
from the National Guard If ciroum-
stances demand. Not only should
Villa and his murderous band be
captured and punished, but the
lives and property of Americans on
both sides of the border should be
fully protected, a thing whicn has
not heretofore been done by our
government"
