Nav Need Roosevelt Help

May Need Roosevelt Help :
portions Of a boom. Effort is being
made to concentrate all elements
against it and tire indications are that
the veto Of the Progressive party,
which, of course, means Col. Roose-
velts disapproval of Hughes, may be
sought as a check.
Seeking Harmony
Harmony above everything else Is
the desire of the leaders. Without 1t
any nominee would answer the pur-
pose because it is recognized that un-
less the Republicans and Progresslves
get together their chance of success
at the polls is very SLIM To obtain
harmony. the Republican leaders are
willing to concede to Col. Roosevelt
the veto power in some form. Some
of the leaders say he should be willing
to select one of two men who would
candidates in the field. Others think
he should suggest men for consldera-
ton by convention leaders. and viz
tually all of the party chiefs are Will
ing to admit that any of the candl-
dates definitely rejected by Col. Roose-
Welt could not be nominated. Impair
tial observers within the Republican
ranks do not consider that the unex-
pected growth Of the Hughes boom is
necessarily an indication Of personal
popularity of the Justice among the
delegates. Those who prompted 1t in
opposition to what proved to be an
exaggerated estimate of the expected
demand for the nomination OF Roose-
Welt are surprised at its growth. Inc
individual candidates were working
independently and therefore there was
no canvass of the extent to which
Hughes was the second choice of the
supporters. This was found to be far
more general than had been antlcl-
pated
Auahes Boom at High Tide
With the arrival of hundreds of dele
gates today the sentiment in favor or
Hughes reached high tide and, IN spite
of the concentration upon him of the OPP
position forces he appears to be far in
the lead. Managers of the favorite son
candidates have made no Roadway to
combine against Hughes because he is the
second choice of many Of the instructed
delegates and trading is dangerous. Ev-
ery attempted transfer it is feared would
result in splitting some delegates into the
Hughes basket Unless the situation
changes very soon these delegates are al
most certain to flop to him should there
be more than two or three ballots without
a nomination.
The Roosevelt Factor
All thought of getting pre-conventlon
statement from Justice Hughes was aban-
doned during the day. The so-called
smoking out processes were unsuccessful.
Similar efforts were directed tonight
against the Roosevelt people and de-
mand was made that the colonel either
should come here and take part in the
councils or place his spokesman in a po-
of the so-called allies as to what candi-
date or candidates would be acceptable
to him to defeat Hughes. 1t was not be-
lieyed that any Of these demands would
be met.
Many Of the Roosevelt adherents them
selves believe the colonel should come to
Chicago. His precence they think would
obviste all danger Of the Progressive con-

Washington, Mar. 15.-The Hay

the size Of the regular army to its
full strength of 100000 men was
adopted today by the senate. It pro-
vides for an immediate increase.
Hoke Smith was the only senator
to oppose the resolution during the
debate. He proposed an amendment
making the enlistment term two
years instead Of the usual four. Smith
said he was against long enlistments
and that. in the present case. he felt
sure the recruits could be more cas-
lily obtained II the term were short
ened.
The senate enjoyed unlimited de-
bate on the measure until Senator
Gallinger called for a vote. Then 1t
was passed unanimously.
Senator Sherman introduced re-
solution that the American forces be
withdrawn from the Philippines. He
said:
Twelve thousand regulars could
be sent to Mexico. They would be
ideal soldiers in that tropical climate.
Furthermore. they have been well
trained in guerilla warfare"
Sherman said he would leave $500
native scouts in the islands as Phil

NEWS FROM
THE MEXICAN FRONT


El Paso, Mar. Military CEN
sorship has been thrown so closely
around Columbus and the border
country today that 1t is impossible to
ascertain troop movements, although
many firmly believed the American
expedition had started.
Control of the telegraph and tele-
phone was taken over by a squad OF
soldiers acting under orders from
General Pershing. A long distance
telephone call to Columbus merely
brought reply from central" that
she was under military censorship as
well as everybody else there.
A censored Columbus dispatch from
a United Press stan correspondent
told Of preparations to establish a
base of operations for the pursuit.
Railroad switches and bridges are be-
ing built by army engineers. Troop
movements were not mentioned in
the message.
The censor permitted mention,
however, OF the arrival of the aero
squadron from San Antonio, with its
consort OF motor lorries, The United
Press correspondents message was
timed 9.30 a. M today, but 1t does
not necessarily contradict rumors Of
a start having been made, because
newspapermen were not expected to
be permitted to enter Mexico with
the vanguard.
Officers at Fort Bliss refused to dis
cuss rumors that the border already
had been crossed.
The III Paso & Southwestern rail-
way telegraph departments state
ments that villistas had looted a few
houses on the outskirts OF Hachita,
N. NJ, apparently disposed Of the
story that Carransista force had
seized the town. M

critics said:
Were the Germans to gain ver-

would be an empty victory. They
would lose 100000 more men for

Success via Goose hill and Bethin-
