in the Mexican situation still awaited
definite outcome of the Ri Paso con
ference between Gen Scott Gen. Fun
ston and Gen Obregon, Officials of
both the war and state departments
appeared confident that an agreement
satisfactory to both sides would be
negotiated although they hesitated to
predict how much time might be re-
CURED
Officials here thought it unlikely
President Wilson would accept any
agreement that looked to withdrawal
Of the American troops to their own
side of the line, even with promises
that a complete patrol of the Mexican
side would be established by the de
facto government. There was nothing
to indicate that the president was in
clined to change his decision that Gen
Pershing's forces will remain in Mex
leo until the de facto government has
demonstrated beyond question it's abil
lty 70 control the situation there. NO
official has been willing to discuss just
what such a demonstration must be,
bat It is certain that a mere assertion
by Gen. Carranza or Gen Obregon Will
not be sufficient
The course of Gen. Obregon at Ell
Paso has been pulling Administra-
ton officials have had reason to be-
lieye that Gen. Carranza has given his
assent to the agreement as originally
framed, except m minor details. The
plan was suggested in part at least by
Gen. Obregon himself when the con-
ferees first met; yet Obregon has re
fused thus far to exchange ratifca-
tons with Gen. Scott.

MILITIA TO THE BORDER
President Wilson Calls Out Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona Troops
For Immediate Service.

Washington.-Eve available sol
der Of the mobile army Of the United
States is either at the Mexican Dor
der, across the international line in
pursuit Of Mexican bandits or en-
route to the border, following Presi
dent Wilson's action on May J, in call
ing out'the militia Of Texas, New Mex
leo and Arizona for border patrol duty
and the dispatching Of three more reg
iments Of regulars and parts of anoth
er regiment from interior posts to the
Mexican line.
President Wilson's action, which
through a statement issued by Secre
tary Baker, he explained was for the
purpose Of more amply protecting the
United States from recurrence of ban.
dit raids, came after a conference he
had with Secretary Baker, and was in
compliance with a joint report from
Gems. Scott Scott and Funston at Ell
Paso, stating that more troops we're
urgently needed.
The action taken sends to the Dor.
der approximately 5000 additional
troops. Every infantryman in the
United SEtates regular ranks is thus
In service against Mexican bandits,
while all cavalry in the United States,
with the exception of five troops, is
now being used on the border or over
the line. The remainder of the army
is either on foreign service or in
Alaska.
Behind the orders was the apparent
intimation that Washington was pre-
pared to similarly employ the entire
available strength of the national
guard of all states if it became neces-
sary.
Besides the militia, Secretary Baker
issued an order calling out ten com
companies of coast artillery stationed
at gulf and Atlantic ports to San
Antonio, Texas, to serve as infantry
with the border patrol
The points from which artillery
companies we're ordered to the border
include Galveston, New Orleans, Pen
sacola, Savannah, Charleston and the
Cape Fear River Station.
