 Congress to Take Hand.
 The Mexican situation is certain to come up in Congress -when-the two houses resume active business.
 To defray expenses of mobilizing the National Guard and. maintaining it in the federal service, emergency appropriations will be needed immedi- ately Congress granted the War De. partment liberal emergency funds be- cause of the border situation some time ago. These are virtually gone now, and Secretary Baker probably will submit a largely increased .esti- mate within a few days. No official Wouid hazard a guess as to the sum lAdI lnlSnL De needed. 7"H H,'.t
 2la Policy Is Unchanged.
 Summed up, the situation as to Mex ico was this: @ z5 t'21
 E. President Wilson's policy is un- changed, although he has taken the last possible step short of calling for volunteers to defend the border. Amer ican troops are in Mexico for that pur- pose and for that purpose only. This has been stated over and over agaIn by MT. Wilson and now has been affirmed by the Democratic platform upon which he will seek reelection. The platform also states, however, that the troops are to remain in Mexico un- til the defacto government uses it's military forces to police the border re, zion so thoroughly that renewed raid, ing is improbable. ,-- ...,..,..,s
 The government has little faith in the assurances of General Carranza that he is able to do this.s Raiding has increased rather than diminished since additional Mexican troops were ordered into Chihuahua and other northrn states. It has been made plain, officials said, that only American troops could be counted on to safe guard American interests on the bor- der. .a ez sHH2H a- s e8iE No intervention Plan.
 Even with the call for militia, how, ever, it was declared emphatically there was nothing to indicate that in- tervention plans are being considered Stress was laid in every official quar, ter on the fact that only defensive measures were in progress and it was reasserted that if hostilities between the two governments are to follow they will come only from acts of the Mexican officials.
 senator Sheppard of Texas received a telegram from residents of San Be nito and the lower Rio Grande valley asking tha- the federal government furnish them with arms and ammuni- ton for use in protecting themselves anu their property. The request was submitted to the War Department, with suggestion by the senator that it be granted. Colonel Bullard, com manding force of American troops near San Benito, is said to have ad- viSed the citizens to take steps to pro" tect themselves

 TeIegrams to Governors. ,--- g TeIegran1s calling for the militia were sent to the governors of all states except the three whose guards men already have been mustered in, after an ,allday conference at the War Department, attended by Secre- tary Baker, Major General Scott, chief of staff; Major General Bliss, chief of the mobile army, and Brigadier Gen eral Mills chief of the militia divis- ion general staff. Brigadier General McCombs, president of the Army War College, also were consulted. Since MT. Baker did not find it necessary again to confer. with.

Some officials here have been in. clined to look upon the Carranza note and many of his other more or less hostile actions as attempts to plaeate- the radical anti-American clements in Mexico, without actually bringing Oh hositilities with the United States. They declare the Mexican government has gone to the limit each time, but
 always fallen just short of the word or act that would have made a clash certain. These officials believe Car ranza is playing a game of bluff and that much as he may hate Villa, the. direct cause. of the present situation, he dare not attempt to capture the bandit and turn him over to the United States for punishment, because he fears to make national hero and martyr of his former ally against Hu- erta.
