REPUBLICANS STIRRING UP
RUMPUS IN CONGRESS

placing on congress the responsibility
for drafting the militia. Hay asked
that the language of the draft en-
powering the president to draft
militia be made to read:
THAT in the opinion of congress
the United States, whereas an emer-
gency now exists which demands the
use of troops in addition to the regu-
lar army, the president is hereby
authorized to draft into the United
States army any or all the members
of the national guard
Republican Leader Mann objected
to having placed on congress the re-
sponsiiblity of declaring that an emer-
gency exists, unless President Will
son should directly or indirectly as
sure the house that such is the case.
Il am authorized" replied Chair
man Hay, "to say that the president
believes an emergency is present and
it is absolutely necessary to command
the service of the militia"
Continuing, Mann said 81 do not
know whether the troops should be
kept in Mexico or not. 1t is evident
that the troops cannot remain in the
heart of the country without there
being a certain amount of friction
with the Mexicans. l cannot see why
they are being kept in Mexico when
they have not accomplished what
they set out to do"

Want President Wilson to Tell
Why He Sends Militia
to the Front.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-With re-
publicans, led by Repr esentative
Mann, demanding explicit expression
from the president as to his reasons
for sending the militia to the border
with power to order them into Mex
leo, Chairman Hay Of the house mill
tary affairs committee this afternoon
began his fight to make the national
guard actually a federal force. Oppo-
sition to the resolution because Prest-
dent Wilson has not appeared before
congress in person to explain the
Mexican situation seemed to grow
rapidly Representative Gardner Of
Massachusetts asked that the whole
matter be postponed for consideration
until tomorrow. Hay. pressed for i'm
mediate consideration.
Declaring the action would not con-
stitute a declaration of war nor an
admission that state of war exists,
Hay brought the matter up immedi-
ately on the convening Of the house.

gestions are unfriendly 20 US.
"Germany's power is clearly wan
ing. The strength Of the allies is
increasing as is proved by the daily
events in the fighting at yerdun and
in the advance on the Russian front
as we'll, by successes Of the class Of
the Skagerak naval battle and of the
victories in Asia Minor.
"The war can end but one way.
That is when allied soil is swept clean
of the enemy and our every demand
is admitted. To accept peace earlier
would be to shirk our duty. For civ
ilization has reached the cross roads; /;
one way means the mailed fist and
the will of the strongest; the other
means the right to enjoy individual
culture. Prussia has set out to i'm
pose one destiny. It was willed that
the allies should defend the other.
We are faithful to the trust. We are
mutually pledged to do that. We
were never so united as now and
never so strong We wish peace as
ardently as any one, but 1t mus. be
the right sort. Pea 20 must be per-

UNCONF|RMEO REPORT OF THE MASSACRE
War Has Not Yet Been Declared by Either
Side, Pending Official Word of
Carrizal Clash.

| tirely upon 1t as proving that the at
tack was nnprovoked with the Mex
leans entirely the aggressors.
Watchful waiting was invoked
anew by the administration today in
the Mexican problem. Help in franz
ing this governments course-pre-
sumably diplomatic, but possibly
lstronger-was anticipated In pre-
liminary report Of General Pershing
on the Carrizal battle. His report
decoded early todsy was tnderstoo
to contain the story Of Tenth cavalry
stragglers, putting responsibility for
the affair upon the Mexicans.
The full official version, based on
officers reports, was expected from
Pershing during the day.
Meantime war department activity
centered in getting militia troops
ready for border service. Ten thous-
and men, gathered from the central
and western departments, will leave
as soon as they can be prepared.
Probably this will be in very few
days. The administration position
up to early today tended to class the
Cafrizal incident with the now for
gotten Parral clash and the more re-
cent unprovoked attack upon Amer
| lean sailors at Mazatlan.
One source of real trouble in the
! Carrizal affair, apparently remain
| ing, is the fact that American pris-
oners are still held in Mexican Gus
tody.
| AS for Carranza himself, admins
tration men have reason to believe
| he is trying to get his men in line
| and avoid hostilities.
On the other hand, the attitude OIL
| his generals is manifestly unpleas-
ant. General Trevino's reported ap-
proval of the Carrizal clash and his
announcement that he would take
similar action in the same circum-
stances, was regarded here as jndlca'
tive of threatening trend OF events
| perhaps beyond Carranza's control.
