Empowers President to
Call Guardsmen to
u. S. Service.
SAYS EMERGENCY
DEMANDS ACTION
Measure Goes to Senate, Which
Is Expected to Consider
Ii To-day.
Trrom TIE Tribune Bure,u.l

Washington, June 20. By a vote Of
332 TO 2 the House of Representa-
tives passed to-day the resolution re-
quested by President Wilson declar-
ing that an emergency exists and Civ
ing him the power to draft the militia
into the Federal service, to serve dur
ing the period Of emergency, but not
exceeding three years. While apply
ing only to the members of the nation
al guard who have taken the Federal
oath as provided by the terms Of the
Hay army reorganization bill, the
measure, which was sent at once to
the Senate, will force virtually all Of
the national guard into the Federal
service for the entire period Of trou-
bic.
One OF the two men who voted
against it-Representative Huddleston,
Of Alabama. a Democrat explained
that he did so because the resolution
did not recognize the enlistment terms
of the militiamen. II might result,
he pointed out, in holding them in
service indefinitely during the nation
al need, which had never been done in
any war with regard to volunteer SOL
diers. Meyer London. the New York
Socialist, was the other member who
voted in the negative.
An appropriation OF s1,000,Oc0 for
the relief Of families of the militia
men was made By the House in the
draft resolution. Proposed by Chair
man Hay, it was broadened by sew
eral amendments until it includes
brothers under fourteen, as well as
wives, children, mothers and fathers

BAKER ORDERS
"A AER0PLANES
Lack of Craft Blamed
for Delay in Battle
Reports.

Washington, June 23.-At the War
Department orders were given to-day
for the purchase of fourteen additional
seroplanes for border use. They will
be Of the hight power type recently sent
to the border, and orders will be dis
tributed among manufacturers in order
70 speed up delivery.
General Funston now has twelve OF
these craft at Columbus. Every effort
is being made to find suitable propel-
lers. but at present none OF the ma
chimes can be used because Of this de-
feet. The problem Is to find propeller
that will stand the enormous power OF
the engines.
General Funston has asked also for
the return to Columbus OF the hrst
shipment Of lighter power machines
sent 10 the border They were found
unsuitable by army aviators for the
work then before them and sent to the
aviation school az San Diego.
Lack Of seroplanes with the expedi-
ton TO Mexico is blamed for the long
delay in obtaining exact information
as to what happened at Carrizal.
field wireless equipment of sufficient
power is a bulky affair which hardly
would have been carried with scout
ing party.
Army officials are trying TO assemble
additional radio sets for immediate use.
There are a number OF sets with ma
tional guard units called TO the border,
but so far, il is understood. light,
portable outfit, suitable for use with a
cavalry column, has not yet been deyei-
oped.

exists, and virtually Of the power 70
declare war.
Congress should preserve" Mr..
Mann said, ats rights to determine
whether an emergency exists or not.
The Hay act carefully preserved the
right Of Congress to determine wheth-
er a draft should be made or not. The
resolution, as prepared by the War De
partment, takes away that right. | do
not think anybody except Congress
should declare that an emergency eX-
lists or ceases 20 exist, and Congress
should be advised by the President,
either formally or informally, whether
there is an emergency"
Representative Butler, ranking Re
publican member of the Naval Commit
tee, broke in with the remark that the
President should send a message on
the situation.
For our own protection" resumed
Mr.. Mann, "and because responsibility
goes with power, the gentleman from
Virginia (Mr. Hay) ought to be able
20 inform US. In addition 10 the infor-
nation we receive in the public prints,
that the War Department says that an
emergency does now exist and that we
make the declaration based upon that
fact. | doubt the sdvisability Of Con-
gress ordering the extreme remedy Of
a draft of men, something that has
never been done before except in the
greatest stress Of war, unless we have
some official statement that there is
an emergency"
Thinks Emergency Does Exist.
81 am authorized to state" replied
Mr.. Hay, through a communication
made TO me by the Secretary of War,
that the Executive does think that an
emergency now exists and that this
resolution is absolutely necessary to
meet it."
The situation In Mexico is not an
easy one for any of us. either the citi-
zens Of the United States or Mexico"
Mr.. Mann went on. at is quite evil
dent that the troops of one country
cannot go into and remain in the heart
of another country against the will
of that country without producing
friction and probably war. II may be
that we cannot bring our troops out
of Mexico at present. | cannot see
what good they are doing there now.
They are not carrying out at the pres
ent time the pollcy Tor which they
went into Mexico, but it seems to me
quite certain il we are 70 keep the
troops there, doing something or do
ing nothing, with the consequent fric-
tion which comes from that fact, it is
absolutely essential that we materially
increase our armed forces.
whether war be declared or not,
war of a kind now actually exists.
The whole theory of the recent Hay
law is that the National Guard con-
stitutes the defence OF the country,
following the regular army, and the
time has arrived. if we are to maintain
the position that we have in regard to
New-York tribune., 1916-06-24

though many Americans are leaving the
capital, those who remain are being
shown the greatest consideration, and
he believes they are in no danger. The
Navy Department is providing trans
ports for the Americans at seaports.
Tampico and Mazatlan are the only
ports at which danger has been felt
recently, and the situation at both
places is now reported quiet. The navy
has ample facilities for rescuing all the
American residents of those ports in
all emergency, however.
If the purpose of Mr.. Arredondo's
visits was 10 initiate some step toward
an offer of mediation, il had not borne
fruit tonight. Secretary Lansing said
no suggestion that the dispute be sub
mitted TO arbitration had come from
any quarter. 1t has been understood
that the Secretary's communication to
the Latin-American diplomats yester-
day outlining the critical situation and
declaring that the United States had
no desire TO intervene IN Mexican al
fairs served TO forestall any mediation
proposals, although Mr. Lansing dis
claims any such object.
1t is known that Administration Of
ficials do not regard the present stu
alton as containing anything open to
settlement by arbitration. The Pres
ident's sole purpose, according to re-
peated official declarations, is to pro-
tect American lives and property on
the border. Failure of the de facto
officials to fulfil their obligations in
this respect has compelled the inva-
sion Of Mexican soil in order that an
effective defence Of the border might
be set up. The work has been carried
out, they contend, with scrupulous re-
gard for the rights and interests OF
the Mexican government and people,
and operations have been directed only
against the lawless bands marrying
the border, and which the Mexican
government was either unwilling or
unable to check.
Private kilograms from Mexico City
reaching various interested persons
continue to indicate that General Car
rama and the circle of his immediate
advisers are very desirous Of finding n
way TO avoid war with the United
States. They are said to have been
convinced by the recent happenings,
not only OF the sincerity of the Wash
ington Administrator attitude as
publicly announced. but also OF the
stern purpose Of President Wilson TO
use whatever force may be necessary
to carry out his policy.
These same Mexico City observers,
however. noted indications that the
military commanders in Northern Mex
leo ars not entirely under General Car
ranza's control. II has been an open
secret for some time that the allegiance
Of part of the army, at least, was 70 be
counted on only when the orders It
received were to its liking. The pri-
vate messages express fear that actions
Of the commanders may force the sit
uation, whatever General Carranza may
wish to do.

Brazil Sees Germany'S
Hand in Mexican Issue

Rio dc Janeiro. June 2S.-The crisis
between Mexico and the United States
is being followed with keen interest in
Brazil and occupies a large space in
the newspapers. The general tone of the
editorial comment is that President
Wilson, while actuated by the best mo-
tives, has run afoul of preponderating
elements in Mexico which are under
German influence.
In official circles hope is expressed
that war will be avoided, but II is fully
recognized that the continued disorders
in Mexico must end in wearying the
most sincere well wisher Of the coun-
try. There is general agreement that
some end must be put to the present
intolersble situation so that the paclhc
development Of the peoples Of America
may be assured.

Affairs was received to-day at the For

of the Mexican government that war
with the United States was inevitable
on account Of the methods employed
by the American government, and
pointed out that all the republics Of
Central and South America would be
affected by a conflict.
The Peruvian government returned

train out Of Juarez without first
demonstrating that II did not
carry ammunition would result In
shells being thrown on II. which not
only would wreck the train, but which,
II il carried ammunition, probably
would also wreck Juarez.
No attempt was made by the Mexi-
cans to move the train during day
light. IL is believed they will be
afraid to do so tonight. Mexican
officials are quoted as saying they do
not care TO move the train now, as all
of the soldiers of the garrison have
returned 20 Juarez, and the ammuni-
tion will be needed by them there TO
drive back the Americans when the
latter cross the line.
Every United States soldier in Fort
Bliss, Camp Cotton and Camp Bliss
was moved 10 the river bank this az
ternoon. More than 1000 men assem-
bled on the bank opposite Juarez, and
automobile trucks in the city were
seized by the army.
General George Bell declared the
movement was merely q war practice
drill, and that there was no intention
Ct crossing into Mexico. Mexicans
thought II meant an Immediate cross
ing, and Juarez was wildly excited.
During the practice w. j. Scanlon,
an enlisted man OF Battery A, 9th Field
Artillery, fell from q caisson and was
killed.
The war drill demonstrated, .rmv
men say, that the actual crossing can
be made In an hours time.
VI Ready to Seize Juarer.
IL is expected by army men that
militia organizations will begin ar
riVing here tomorrow night, but Il
may be several days before any get
here. The seizure OF Juarez, il was
stated tonight, would not wait on the
militia, should the Mexieans take the
offensive, or should there be more
hghting between American and Meri-
can troops In Mexico. Unless there IL
provoeation, II is declared, the Mexican
town will be left 70 Csrranza until the
militia arrives. MeIicans on this side
and in Juarez are bitter tonight over
the open announcement that the seiz-
urs OF Juares Will occur whenever the
Americans are ready. Mexicans in
Juares boast that the Americans will
find them better prepared for resist
ance than generally 10 believed. II Is
thought that an effort will be made to
prevent the crossing Of the Americans
BY blowing up the bridges and their
approaches.
Activities of former Villistss in Fl
Paso caused the arrest tonight of sew
eral once prominent villa men who
are charged with plotting against the
United States. General Ramon Sosa,
ex-Villa leader; his brother, Fernando
U. sosa, and Colonel Jose Perez were
held by the military officials. Secret
Service men and members Of the pro
vost guard are watching other Mexi-
cans. including prominent Carran-
zistas, for evidences of plotting and
arrests are being made whenever any
action of the Mexicans causes suspi-
eion.
