 WASHINGTON, May 9-Including the troops ordered out today, there will be nearly 45,0OO soldiers, perhaps 500OO along the border or in Mexico, according to the best available figures here. The war department has de- clined to publish actual numbers, but with the entire mobile army, except five troops of cavalry, under General Funston's command, in addition to the 1000 or more guardsmen and the sev- eral thousand recruits who are being forwarded to the regular regiments as fast as they are mustered in. the United States has a considerable army strung out along 1900 miles of the in- ternational line.
 Calling out the national guard for the first time under the present mil- tary law brings up the fact that, as written, the act authorizes the presi- dent to use the state soldiers either within or without United States ter ritory. The provisions authorizing the 1 use of the guardsmen as such beyond the border was held to be unconstitu- tional by former Attorney General Wickersham. It never has been passed upon by the supreme court, however and President Wilson has full legal authority to employ the state forces beyond the border if he so desires Only an injunction against the war de partment could prevent it.
 By the terms of the law. the guards men must be mustered into the ser vice of the United States before they come under complete control of the federal government Their oaths oi enlistment to the various states mak, the acceptance of this federal statu. obligatory. however, and there is nc question of volunteering involved il the present system The full enrolled : strength of each regiment called ou is liable for service under penalty 0 court martial action.

That the National Guard of Arizona is in a crying need of men, is being amply demonstrated the time draws close for the enranng of the troops for the border Col Harris and Major Grnstead last evening requested that personal appeal be made to the able bodied men of Phoenix to join the guard and do their bit for Arizona There is serious need for and in their opinion there are many patriotic men in Phoe nix in other places Reports from the other towns in which there militia companies state that recruits Hooking to headquarters faster than the officers can take of them. While enlstments here have been coming in fairly fast the officers in charge state that there is room for practically all who want to the call of the state for protection. recruiting office is open at the armory North Second avenue

Peace Strength of Regiment to Be Rushed to Border At Once; Recruiting to be Pushed to Bring Up to War Footing

Recruit your regiment up to war
 strength immediately" was the
 word Adjutant General Harris re-
 ceived from the war department
 at 10 o'clock last night. As was
 made plain during the day, it will
 be impossible to bring the guard
 up to a war footing before mobi-
 liking at Douglas, so the peace
 strength of 916 men will be as
 ssmbled on the border, beginning
 probably Thursday or Friday. Re-
 cruiting officers will be left in
 each city, to receive applications.
 After months of waiting and prep aration. the Arizona National Guard, through it's commander-in- chief. Gov ernoT Hunt, was ordered yesterday morning to prepare at once for ser vice in the field as a volunteer force under the command of the United States government. The regiment will probably leave Thursday morn ing for Douglas.
 The governor received a telegram yesterday morning about eleven o'clock from Secretary of War New ton D. Baker. stating that the troops would probably be needed at once for the protection of the Arizona bor- der. and that he should issue orders to mobilize the states forces The governor immediately transferred the order to Adjutant General Harris wha sent out telegrams to each company commander, ordering them to gather their companies at once.
 The companies will not mobilize al a given point for drill and instruction for any stated period. but will pro ceed as soon as Gen. Funston com manding the southern department calls for them In a statement las right, Adjutant General Harris saiC that he expected the regiment woul, be given the route for Thursda! morning. The northern companie will come south through Phoenix, th local companies joining them here proceeding to Tucson where the tw companies there will be picked UT thence to Douglas.
 The first orders to Gov. Hunt di' rot call for the troops being sent int the field at once. They asked tha the troops be held in readiness for call from General Funston, who i case he needed them. would orde them to mobolize at point he wa to select He chose Douglas last nigh and wired Governor Hunt to tha effect

About two years ago Mexican named Pantelon Variol was arrested at Boquillas on charge of murder and my husband who was justice of the peace, tried the case. A certain ]aWless element refused to testify against Variol and he was given his freedom. Despite this he told my husband that some day he would kill him and I believe he is one of the bandits who raided the two towns.

 General Funston will direct the mus tering in of the national guardsmen and also assign them to such posts as he selects. It is understood the entire 5000 men added to his command will be used to strengthen border patrols and guards. If General Funston has been awaiting only additional forces, however, to order a new expedition into Mexico after the Glenn Springs bandits. he has ample authority to do so as soon as the new forces begin to reach him.

 The San Antonio situation is thought to be well in hand and no trouble is anticipated here. It is the belief of officers that if any activity develops in connection with the re- ported uprising it will be confined to the immediate border country. Amer ican troops in the border sections, it is said, have sufficient strength to put down any disturbances.
