LANSING NOTIFIES MINISTER OF

HANDS OFF,"
STATE OF WAR VIRTUALLY
EXISTS, VIEW AT CAPITAL
News of Raid on New Mexico Town
Spreads Rapidly Over Washington
and Another Outburst in Con-
qress Is Anticipated-lnter
vention Is Discussed.

Washington, March 11.-Washington
is stirred by the startling develop
ments in the Mexican situation. Amer
ican troops have crossed the border in
hot pursuit of Villa, with orders to
crush him, and Secretary Lansing has
notified EIiseo Arrend ondo, resident
minister here of Carranza, that the
recognized chieftain of Mexico, is to
keep his hands off,
This is virtual war, although the
constitutional provision which places
declarations of war ir the hands OF
Congress is to be evaded by this war
fare on Villa and not on Mexico.
In spite of determined efforts to the
contrary, in spite Of decisions to al
low the Mexican people to fight their
troubles out, state of war exists
from now on and no man can tell
whittier it will lead.
The situation in Mexico will uH-
doubtedly come up before Congress at
once, and in view of the fact that only
about $4,000 men are on the border,
the President may issue call for vol
unteers.
Expects Outburst in Senate.
Washington, March II. - Secretary
Baker transmitted to the president
reports about the attack on Columbus,
N. NJ, as quickly as they were re-
ceived at the war department. 1t was
said at the White House that vigorous
steps would be taken to punish the
bandits. The president directed Sec
retary Baker to do everything possi-
BILE to protect Americans.
The news of the raid spread over
the capitol with startling effect. Sen
ator Stone, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, at once got into
communication with the state depart
ment and asked Senator Fall for q
conference.
Senator Stone said he expected the
affair might precipitate another out
burst in the senate, but that he pro
posed to await official reports and of.
fetal action by executive departments
of the government.
"That Means Intervention"
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Dem
ocrat, said:
"That means Intervention. I don't
see What else can be DONE"
Senator Tillman declared the news
was almost incredible. There never
has been a president who tried SO
hard to keep out of war as President
Wilson," he said, "but if this is true
it looks as if General Funston would
have to get busy at once"
After the president and Mr.. Baker
had discussed the reports briefly the
president decided that the new secre-
tary of war should take office at once.
He signed Mr. Bakers commission
and the new secretary went to his new
office to be sworn in.
Precedents for sending troops into
Mexico to pursue the bandits are
found in the state department ar
chives.
When Mexican Indians were pillag-
ing in Texas in 1871, the American
minister in Mexico City was instruct
ed to say it might become the duty of
the United States "at least to weigh
the expediency of pursuing the hos,
tile Indians into Mexico, without the
consent of that government if it shall
not adopt measures to check the rob.
