GERMAN TROOPS SENT TO
MEET ALLIED DRIVE

London. June 1.-THE Ger
mans, apprehensive Of a big al
lied offensive on the west front,
are continually reinforcing their
lines there repatches from Hol-
land agree.
From Knocke in the Belgian
territory occupied by the Ger
mans, troop laden tramcars are
going to ward the front in
never ending procession. These
are covered with green boughs
to prevent the allied airmen'
from seeing them readily.
It is believed here the big
drive will start at the strategic
moment when the increasing
momentum Of the Russian drive
will leave the German command
ers with no choice but to have
their line smashed somewhere
either in France or Russia.

DISTURBED CONDITIONS ON THE

Washington, June 18.-Presi-

order calling out the militia of
all the states for duty on the
Mexican border. Secretary Bak-

with the president saying that
the immediate mobilization of all
the national guards had been de-

call for the militia is wholly I'M

additional entry into. Mexico ex-

"1n view of the disturbed con-

and in order to assure complete
protection for all Americans the
president has called out sub
stantially all the state militia
and will send them to the border
wherever and as fully as Gem
eral Funston determines them
to be needed for the purpose sta
ted.
IF all are not needed an eff
fort will be made to relieve those
on duty from time to time SO as
to distribute the duty.
"This call for militia is Who'll

shing's expedition and contem-
plates no additional entry into
Mexico except as may be neces-
sary to pursue bandits who at
tempt outrages on American
soil.
"The militia are being called
out so as to leave some troops
in the several states. They will
be modified at their stations
where necessary recruiting can
be DONE"

ENTENTE ALLIES TAKING
A HAND IN MEXICO

Washington, June 21.-Strong
pressue is being brought to bear
on General Carranza by repre-
sentatives of European powers
to prevent him from forcing a
break with the United States.
Indirect reports reaching the
State department today told of
these efforts and said there was
a possibility they would be sue
cessful. Agencies of the entente
allies are understood to be active
for peace particularly because
they believe German influence
has sought to infame the Mexi-
can government against the Uni
ted States with a view to pre-
vent this country from gather
ing in trade formerly controlled
by Germany in Mexico, south
and Central America.
1t is reported that Carranza
might avoid war by calling for
an information commission to
discuss the border situation as
provided for in the treaty of
1848.
So far however no suggestion
for such a step has come from
Mexico.
A definite statement has been
received that Gen. Carranza is
doing all in his power at this
time to protect Americans in
Mexico from attacks by the
populace. He is said to have
given Special Agent Rodgers in
Mexico City all the aid in his
power in arranging for trains to
carry American refugees from
the interior to Vera Cruz.
In some quarters here this
was construed as evidence that
he is not bent upon provoking
hostilities.

The state department has no
advices bearing out these hope

ing the progress Of his efforts to
get American citizens out.
With the full consent of the
Carranza authorities, he said,
and the promise of adequate
protection from possible bandit
attacks he had arranged for a
special train to leave Mexico
City tomorrow carrying Ameri-
cans to Vera Cruz.
