Washington, March 2S.-Senator
Works, republican, made an anti
preparedness speech in the senate to-
day but endorsed the administrations
action in Mexico.
Big business, military organizations
and politicians, he said, were respon- =
sible for war scare in the United
states.
What this country needs today,
he said is not protection from tor-
eign nations, but defense against the
aggressive influences of the power OF
money in the hands of a selfish and
grasping few of its own citizens.
"Our relations with Mexico ana
the obligations resting on this nation
growing out of them are entirely an

town about twenty miles south Of
Namiquipa. with which he believed he
could prevent General Villa breaking
through to the south. He said, how
ever, that there were many desertions
from the Carranza army on account
of the low pay. The government sol
