NAVY DEPARTMENT MOVES
FLEETS FOR EMERGENCY

While the War Department was
moving 10 rush an army 10 the Next
can border the Navy Department be-
gan mobilizing its fighting fleet on the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts to be ready
for any emergency in Mexico, Army
staff officers were of the opinion that
the lid is blown OFF, the Mexican stu
alton by the Presidents action to-
day.
Carranza. grown desperate as the
foundations OF his administration
crumble. is believed to have given
open encouragement to the threaten
ing moves against the American mill
tary forces in Mexico. He has not
turned his hand to prevent the re-
peated raids by Mexican soldiers on
American soil.
Events of the last fortnight begin
ming with the call demanding with
drawal of American troops followed
by the doubly insulting threat by Gem
eral Trevino. Carranza's military COM
mander in the north TO drive the
Gringoes out" and eliminating in the
three border raids in the Brownsville
district. forced the President to drop
his policy of "watchful waiting" and
take determined action.
In his telegram to the governors
ordering them to act secretary Baker
said the call was Issued because Of
THE possibility OF further aggression
upon the territory OF the U. s. from
Mexico and the necessity for the
proper protection OF that frontier"
Gives Carranxa Last Chance.
The statement in the call to the gov
errors and In the official announce
ment of Secretary Baker that there is
no intention, at this time, of sending
fha n to r,aht1fYei the
line, was inspired. 1t is believed for
the purpose OF giving Carranza one
last chaI.e TO exert every military
means at his command to protect
American lives and property from
Mexican aggression
This was accepted as a diplomatic
move TO permit Carranza to change
front and save his face, before he Is
forced to change front by an army OF
overwhelming numbers.
Whether the State Department or
White House expects Carranza TO
change his attitude is not known. but
II Is known that the army mas no IL
lusions on that score
From the beginning of the advance
by General Pershing's forces into
Mexico the chief army officers have
proceeded on the theory that this ex-
petition was the forerunner of CAM
patsn OF months. perhaps years, in
Mexico.
They are confident that tie cam
paign begun by Pershing. now to be
reinforced by practically the enGre
militia strength ofthe nation. will NOT

control Mexico and until order is
wrested from the chaos of the last few

The District of Columbia militia was
given orders to mobilize at Fort Myer,

At the direction of the President,
Secretary Baker sent kilograms to the
governors of all States, directing them
to mobilize the national ruard imme-
diately at State concentration camps
The militia is to be recruited to mini
mum strength at these camps before
going to the border.
Within twenty four hours the mob

The full strength Of the National

figures is l25.652. Secretary Baker cs-
Inmates that today's call will bring
out two-thrds of that number. There
will. therefore be about $4,000 added
TO General Funston's army. With the
$4,000 already on the border or in Mex
