PRESIDENT CALLS
 MILITIA TO BORDER
Texas. Arizona and New Mexico Troops to Report to General FEns- ton--More Regulars Also-Quick
 Mobilization Indicated.

Washington, May 9.-president Wilson this morning issued an or der, calling out the state militia of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico to deal with the border situation.
 Secretary of War Baker, in a statement issued immediately fol- lowing the presidents action, said the Big Bend. Texas, outbreak so far emphasized the danger of simi- lar occurrences along the border that the president called out the mi litia of the three border states, .in- structing them to report to General Fred Funston, who will assign them to border stations.
 Two additional regiments of regu- lar infantry have been directed to proceed at once to the Mexican bor- der from other departments.
 Secretary Baker stated that the orders sending more troops to the border were made upon point rec ommendation of Major General Scott and General Funston and that they are without significance in connection with the conferences Scott and Funston recently have held with General Obregon, Car ranza's war minister. However, Secretary Baker declined to discuss the status of this conference.
 Secretary Baker announced that the published reports. that the raid upon Glen Springs, Texas, was or ganized on the American side ac- cording to Mexicon reports, have been telegraphed to General Funs- ton for an investigation.
 The secretary declared that he has not heard whether American troops in the Big Bend country actually have crossed the border into Mexico or not in their pursuit of the Mexi- cans who conducted the raid.
 Under the Dick law, every able bodied militiaman may be forced in 10 service. and if service beyond the border is contemplated, militia regi- ments will be mustered into the fed eral service as volunteers.

HINT Of PEACE
 FROM GERMANY
Significance of Paragraph in Ger man Reply to American Note Re- coming More Apparent--Wil-
 son Arrange Terms.

Washington, May 7.-Peace talk overshadowed the settlement of the submarine issue here tonight, based on the paragraph of the German note that that country had twice of fered to make peace, and the sig nificance of this utterance is grow ing hourly, coupled with the con- munication of the pope to President Wilson yesterday, imploring him to keep America out of war with Ger many, and to aid the peace plans of |the Vatican.
 fn.imations from Berlin and Rome indicated that Germany is appealing to the world for peace through President Wilson. It is understood that they feel that Will son should remain in his position to perform the high duty of inter national arbiter for peace.
 The Pope's Message.
 Monsignor Boncona, papal secre- tary, telegraphed to Washington yesterday, sending long message to President Wilson from Pope Bene- dict, urging the president to use every effort to avert break with Germany. The message of Bon coma was considered highly confi- dential While no details as to it's contents were forthcoming from the White House, 1t was ascertained that the pope made an appeal for the cooperation of President Will son in bringing about an amicable settlement of the European contro- versy.
 It was understood that a signifi- cant portion of the note, referring to Germany's part in the war, was dwelt on at length in the communi- cation.
 Taken in connection with the German note and the press dis patches from Europe in the last few days, announcing further activi- ty on the part of Pope Benedict toward leading the way to peace. has caused a great stir in official circles in Washington, and asks pre- cedence over the American inter- national situation.

De further alleges that after the execution of the bond and the re- <eipt by him of the $500 he deposit 3fd in the Farmers and Merchants Bank to the credit of the defendants
 he sum of 5000, out of which they 6ave checked $500 He still further alleges that after the mortgage was Executed and the exchange of mon- sfy was consummated, the bond for some reason was not executed, and thereupon the plaintiff surrendered the mortgage, which had never been Recorded, and demanded the return of R,0O0, receiving Si 300, or it's equiva- fnt, with the request that he hold Tor short time the $500 given him As cash security.

GERMAN REPLY IS
 ANSWERED BRIEFLY
American Note Demands Strict Execution of Altered Submarine POliey-Admits No Contingency
 Says Germany Yields.

Washington. May 9.-A note cabled by Secretary Lansing to Ambassador Gerard yesterday for delivery to the Berlin Foreign Off, flee informs the German govern ment that the United States accepts it's declaration of abandonment of its former submarine policy and now relies upon scrupulous exc cution of the altered policy to re- move the principal danger of an in- terruption of friendly relations be- tween the two countries.
 With this acceptance is coupled formal notice to Germany that the United States cannot entertain, much less discuss, suggestion that respect by German naval authori- ties of the rights of citizens of the United States on the high seas should be made contingent upon the conduct of any other government affecting the rights of neutrals and noncombatants. This is in reply to the concluding statement in the last German note to the effect that while submarine commanders had been ordered to sink no peaceful passenger-earrying ships without warning or without safety for the passengers and crew, the German government would reserve to itself complete liberty of decision unless the United States was successful in Is efforts to break the British block ada

War Develops Wonders of
German Military Powers

ess and Britain's financial skill and
strength.
War Dominates Market
War is the dominating factor in the
stock market. The industrials direct
ly affected fluctuate sharply as pros.
poets for peace increase or diminish.
The best opinions are divided as to
an early end to the struggle, for the
reason that while the allies are max
ing steady gains, Germany would not
be willing to accept such terms of
peace as her enemies would be likely
to require. Financing foreign loans is
having a very decided effect upon the
better grade stocks, especially rail
roads In the first place these loans
absorb large amuonts of American
funds, which otherwise would be used
in developing home enterprises; in the
second place Great Britain at every
opportunity judiciously feeds out for
eign owned stocks. Great Britain is
not likely to spoil her market by fore
ing these sales, but such persistent
offerings are sufficient to prevent any
great advance here. The absence OF
wild speculation under such stimulat-
ing conditions is remarkable. Amen'
can railroad shares ought to be sell
ing higher but in high financial els
cles there is evidently a purpose to
discourage unsound market operations
Gold continues coming this way, and
more is promised. Securities are alsc
arriving in large sums; such being the
means by which Great Britain stead
les foreign exchange and meets hei
obligations on this side. Money shows
a hardening tendency, partly because
of coming crop and trade requirements
and partly because of foreign demands
upon this center. Fortunately oul
banking situation is strong, having
been immensely aided and strengthen
ed by heavy gold imports and the new
federal reserve bank operations.
