ARMY TO Be
RECRUITED TO
FULL STRENGTH
Congress Takes Steps to Make
More Troops Available for
Mexico
SOUTHERN REPUBLICS
ARE ALL NOTIFIED

Washington, March l4.-While
there were indications in official dis
patches from MeXicans today that the
de facto government was making a
supreme effort to capture Villa with
their own forces, there was no sign
that the orders of General Funston to
proceed had been modified in anyway.
Word that the American troops had
crossed the border was still lacking,
the war department itself not having
been advised as to when the move
ment would begin.
Congress took acIive notice of the
border situation today for the first
time. The house passed a joint resO-
luton late in the day, authorizing the
recruiting of the mobile regular army
to full strength. This means the ad-
dition of approximately 10000 fight.
ing men to the infantry, cavalry and
field artillery. The senate is expect
ed to concur tomorrow, and the neces-
sary orders will be issued immediate
ly to fill up regiments on border duty.
Troops Needed Badly.
The step was suggested by the
army general staff. 1t is urgently de-
sired now because Of the weakening
of the border forces by the expedition
after Villa, but ever since the patrol
of the border began, the army has
been greatly handicapped by the skel-
eton organization Of regiments, COM
panies, troops and batteries The
force that occupied Vera Cruz had
similar difficulties, some of the COM
panies there being less than 40 men
strong.
Secretary Baker conferred today
with Senator Chamberlain and Repre-
sentative Hay, chairman of the con.
gressional military committee, and
later Representative Hay returned to
the war department accompanied by
Representative Kahn, arnking Repub-
lcan member of the house commit
tee. The resolution was introduced
by Representative Hay Immediately
on his return to the capitol. Its con-
sideration was expedited by unani-
nous consent and it's passage follow
ed with only Representative Lundon,
Socialist, voting against it.
Guard Official Information.
At the state department, steps were
taken to make tia certain that its re-
ported version of the American pur-
pose of sending armed forces against
the border were not given wide circu-
lation in Mexico.
BY cable. radio, telegraph and mail,
full statements of all that has tran.
spired since the rain upon Columbus
and Of the action of the United States
government and its reciprocal agree
ment with the Carranza government
went forward to consuls and state de-
partment agents Throughout the south
ern republics.
It is understood the department has
cautioned General Funston against
too full publication of his plans. or
of the purpose behind orders to var
ious units of his force. Four news
paper correspondents were officially
designated during the day to accom-
pany the expedition and orders were
issued for their credentials.

Is for Bismarck
(From Mott Pioneer Press.)

From Mott Pioneer Press.)
The Mott Commercial club took
the right step last Friday evening
when they went on record in
favor of Bismarck in the coming
capitol removal fight. We cannot
understand how anyone on the
Slope country with the best in
terests Of their section at heart
could support a proposition such
as is put forward by New Rock
ford. The Mott Pioneer Press
certainly will not publish any
thing, paid or unpaid, in favor Of
this proposition and what little
we can do for retaining the capi-
tai where it is will be done. We
will have more information on
this proposition in the near *u-
ture.

Clara Joel Tonight Ends Theatrical

Clara Joel Tonight Ends Theatrical
Season.
The appearance of Clara Joel in
''The Eternal Magdalene" at the
Opera House tonight, ends the pres
emit dramatic theatrical season,
In selecting Miss Joel and her ster-
ling company in the seasons latest
New York success, Manager Levy
is giving Pensacolians a treat worth
while. Basing comparisons upon
some Of the best attractions that have
come into the south in the past few
years, dramatic critics everywhere
hove voted Miss Joel in 1.-THE Eternal
Magdalent'' the peer of theatrical
events. The greatest tribute to Miss
Joel's genius is the fact that cities
like Atlanta, Nashville, Savannah and
Augusta are requesting return dates
this season. When staid papers like
the Atlanta Constitution vote Miss
Joel in 1.-THE Eternal Magda1ene'
"the dramatic triumph of the theatre
cal season" there must be worthy fea-
lures to impel such tributes.
IN order to secure this attraction
Manager Levy has personally guar
anteed an amount that will satisfy
Messrs. Selwyn in sending Miss Joel
to Pensacola. It might be said that
this face alone should warrant Pensa-
colians that the show must be above
the average. The scenery and scenic
effects are identical to those used in
New York.
Many social parties have beer
scheduled for tonight making the
attraction take on a real mid-winte1

The comedy part Of the program Is
Mack Sennet's greatest comedy pro-
duction achievement. Chaplin as an
ambitious waiter overhears two in
ventors discussing a plan to blow mp
a government battleship by means OF
a submarine that they have devised.
Stealing their plans, the waiter has
some hair-raising escapes from sud-
den death while lodging pursuit over
high buildings. He dons an admiral's
uniform, goes down to the waterside
and whistles three times, which is the
signal. He is soon taken out 10 the
submarine and on showing his papers
is put in command. He sees the OIL
Ger pulling various levers and imi-
! tates him. He nearly swamps the
crew by his efforts, but the officer
sets the boat right again. The waiter
plans toshold up steamship and steal
the gold it is carrying. The captain
of the ship, manages to send a wire
less for help, but his vessel Is de-
stroyed by the submarine. Then the
government gunboat appears on the
scene and shells the submarine. The
waiter has lost the key and cannot
submerge his craft. 1t results in the
destruction of the submarine, and the
last sight Of the pirate-waiter shows
him with his head in a sharks mouth.

BIC RUSSIAN SHIP
ARRIVES FOR CARGO
ANOTHER FoUR-MAsT VESSEL
COMES TO PENSACOLA TO FILL
OUT WITH VALUABLE LOT OF
YELLOW PINE.

Another large four-lnasted ship
reached Pensacola yesterday, this be-
ing the Russian bark Albyn, IS days
out from Bilboa, Spain. While her
tonnage was given at 1898, her four
lofty spars, which carried out-stretch-
ed canvas as she came up the bay,
caused her to appear much larger
than any vessel in the bay.
Upon reaching the shipping area,
she anchored and awaited the arrival
of the port physician, who ordered
her to the quarantine station for
fumigation. 1t will be some time to-
morrow before the -Albyn is given
partique.
The Albyn, at present. is quite the
largest vessel of her type now in port,
but, within the next few days another
Russian ship, the Lawhill, should
reach here. The Albyn sailed from
Bilboa January % last, while the
Lawhill, a vessel of 2749 tons, sailed
from Liverpool January 6, and was
reported to have cleared with a large
consignment of crude chalk for Pensa-
cola.
The Albyn will load with timber and
lumber at Pensacola, and is expected
to start cargo during the week, if
given pratique early enough tomorrow
to come over to the city.

Of '"The Edge of the Abyss" which

superb scenic setting, but he has
