PLAN INCREASE
In ARMY BILL
House to Vote $40, 900, 900
to Cover Equipment
of Troops.

Washington, June 24-House leaders,
concerned over financing military move
ments growing out of the Mexican
emergency, are planning an increase OF
S2O.OOO,OOO in the pending army appro-
priation bill. Representative Hay,
chairman of the Military Committee,
said after a conference with Secretary
Baker and other Administration heads
that the increase would be urged next
week.
The money would be added to appro-
priations of supplies, munitions, equip
ment, movement of troops and other
necessary expenses. It is proposed to
turn over s2.OOO,OOO TO the militia sec
tion of the army for purchase Of avia-
tion equipment and training Of opera
tors. The House already has provided
in the bill for S3,2OO.OOO for aviation
70 be used in the regular army.
+ The Appropriations Committee already
is preparing an urgent deficiency bill
to appropriate approximately $6,OOO,OOO
TO cover the expenses Of the organized
militia up TO the end of the official year,
June 80 This would include militia
paw up TO that time and the expense Of
mobilization and subsistence.
On high authority it was said to-day
that serious consideration has not been
given TO the possibility Of issuing
bonds TO meet the extraordinary condi-
tions of the Mexican situation. Unless
war actually is declared such step
will not be deemed necessary. 1t was
nointed out that there is about $780,
100000 in the Treasury general fund,
and that within the next week the in
como tax will be due, which probably
will add at least S75,00O.000 TO that
amount. and give the Treasury enough
TO carry on the government, even with
unusual outlays for military expense,
/ for several weeks 10 come.
II war were declared, officials said II
would probably be only matter OF a
fou, hours 10 obtain authorization from
I CONGRESS for q bond issue. Authorize
tion already exists for the issue OF
more than 5000, 600 in Panama Canal
bonds TO replenish the Treasury for the
canals construction cost. Such. an
;ssue. in addition TO the general fund
would give altogether more than S4Oo,-
600. enough TO carry on a war Win
Mexico for several months.
The Sl2IOOOOOO sundry civil appro-
nriation bill passed the House late to-
dav and went TO the Senate. During
to-dav's discussion the House rejected
a proposal FOR a S1O,000,00O governmee nj nj
war munitions plant, but added S5O,OOo
10 the appropriation for printing 1arm-
! ers' bulletins.
Representative Keating in offering
( the munitions amendment said 1t pre-
sented a vital problem, and that every
United states arsenal, except that ,s az
Rock Island, H., was geographicailyy
located in violation Of tundamennItal MI
nrinciples laid down by the Army war
College An attempt to have the 81
100000 carried in the bill for enforce &C.
ment of immigration laws increased by
S9OoO00 was lost. Representatives
Humphrey, of Washington, and kaKer:
of California, said there was need OF OF
an increase TO prevent smuggling Oh
Oriental labor into the United states.

an emergency now exists calling for
the use of troops other than regulars,
instead of leaving that question TO be
determined by the President Service
of guardsmen taken into the Federal
army is limited only to "the period OF
the emergency"
The War Department awaits impa-
tiently the passage of the measure.
chiefly because of its consolidation
provision. 1t furnishes machinery un-
der which the department could gather
up and send to the front promptly all
guardsmen who qualify for Federal
service, without waiting for incom-
plete companies TO be recruited up to
full strength. Days, perhaps weeks,
of delay in sending General Funston
additional troops would be saved, II
is estimated, under this plan.
Half of the Massachusetts, troops
modified at the Framingham camp are
ready 10 be mustered into the Federal
service. The other half will be mus
tered in soon after, so that the whole
force, numbering more than 5000, will
be ready to move 10 the Mexican bor-
der by tomorrow noon.
Pennsylvania to-day mobilized nine
regiments of infantry and a battalion
of engineers at Camp Brumbaugh,
Mount Gretna. Tonight nearly ten
thousand men, in command of Major
General c. NJ. Clement, are under can
vas. Tomorrow the cavalry, artillery
and other auxiliary troops will arrive.
Captain Wells, U. S. A., assigned to
muster in the Michigan National
Guard. has announced that II will re-
qure ten days to make an inventory of
the National Guard property. Until this
is done the Michigan National Guard
will not be reported ready for transfer
to the border.
More than eleven hundred members
Of the 4th Regiment of the South Da-
kota National Guard are encamped in
Redfeld preparatory to transfer to the
Mexican border.

Oregon Company First
To Take Federal Oath
Half of Massachusetts, Militia Being Sworn In Remainder
to Follow lo-day-War Department Anxious for
Hay Amendment to Pass.

Washington, June 24-The steps OF
the War Department to get ready for
possible war continued to-day. Word
came of the mastering into Federal ser
vice of an Oregon national guard com
pany-the first unit of the state troops
70 be enrolled under President Wilson's
call last Sunday.
The department was gratihed over
the fact that il numbered three COM
missioned officers and 143 men. or with
in seven men Of the full wartime COM
plement.
Much of tho detail of the mobiliza-
tion of the guard was transferred from
the War Department by Secretary
Bakers order directing that department
commanders rush the men TO the front
as soon as available. Reports of prog
ress 80 far give no basis for an accu-
rate estimate of the time It will take 20
get the whole force TO the Mexican bor-
der.
The effort to speed up mobilization
further through the Hay resolution
adopted yesterday in the House, met
with delay in the Senate. The Mill
tary Committe reported out the meas
ure. Because of memorial session,
however. the Senate did not act, and
the authority the resolution will canfer

driving back the Germans. nor because
Russian troops have made a brilliant

riouS attacks made on Vcrdun. We be-
lievc Il because the allies will prove
TO be stronger or land than the Ger

Secondly, peace cannot be made now
because the German government is not

know they are going to be beaten. but
tho German people do not yet know It.
They arc ignorant Of tho true facts.
and their government. which has fed
them with falsehoods and held out
prospects of territorial gains. fears
TO accept terms which would recognize
their own failure.
Thirdly, because peace made now on
such terms as the German government
would accept would be no permanent
peace. but mere truce. 1t would mean
Tor Europe constant disquict fresh
alarms OF war. more preparations for
war and further competition in pro-
dig Gus arnalncnts.
Lastly, because we are fighting for

future of mankind principles which tn.
German government outraged and
