MORE TROOPS BEING
Sent INTO MEXICO

San Antonio, Tex, April 20.-Gen-
eral Funston is sending General Per
shing more than 1000 additional
troops and there is reason to believe
that even more will be placed at the
disposal of General Pershing if the
campaign against Francisco Villa is
continued.
The troops which have been order
ed to Pershing's base at Columbus are
on duty along the border
What troops win rtiieve them and
where they will come from remains
unannOunced
II may be that the war department
will have to authorize the sending of
the few remaining troops in the Unit
ed States into this department, or 1t
may be that the filling of the vacant
points along the border may be left
to the government of Texas, which
may send the militia.

PROVIDES ARMY
OF One MILLION
Senate Passes Substitute for
House Bill.
ALL AMENDMENTS BEATEN

Measure Provides for Standing Force
of 25o,0oo Men, a Federal Reserve
Body of PSI 900 and National Guard
Strength of 26o, o,oc0-School and Col
leqe Corps to Make Up Balance.
Washington, April 20.-An army re.
organization bill that would produce
regular army and reserve military
forces in the United States aggregat-
ing a million men was passed by the
senate without record vote.
1t is a substitute for the Hay bill,
passed by the house, and the differ
ences will be worked out in confer
ence.
On the eve of a Joint session of the
houses of congress to hear message
from the president on grave interna-
tional issues, the senate fastened
completion of the bill amid scenes OF
excitement, repeatedly rejecting all
amendments tending to reduce the
proposed strength of the army.
In the closing hours of debate the
senate made provisions for a regular
standing army with a peace strength
of 250,000 men, as compared with 140,-
600 in the Hay bill, which passed the
house.
Retain Federal Volunteer Plan.
The senate retained after a close
fight the plan for a federal volunteer
army reserve force calculated to ag
gregate 261 600 men and federalized
the national guard forces of the states
at an estimated strength of $4,000
men.
In addition to this combined regular
and reserve force of 100000 men an
amendment was passed 10 create a
school and college reserve corps in
time of war or threatened war, which
would recruit force of trained young
men, schooled by officers of the regu.
lar army, the strength of which is es.
timated anywhere from 100000 to
400 600
1--WE are creating here a peace army
of a million men," declared Senator
Myers, in supporting an amendment
of Senator Reed to make the regular
army 100000.
The senate had agreed previously
by vote of 43 to 81, to an amend
ment by Senator Brandegee increas-
ing it from the proposed strength OF
$4,000 to 250000.
The Reed reduction proposal was
rejected AZ to 81, after a brief speech
by Senator Williams, in which he re
ferred to the solemnity of the occa
sion which would confront congress.
Asks Pointed Questions.
Are we or are we not threatened
with war;" asked Senator Williams
Are we, or are I'VE not threatened
with war from Mexico; are we or are

submarine controversy?
Have we not been called to assem-
