SEEKS PEACEFUL SOLUTION

WASHINGTON. June %. Ma
tionsl Guard organizations through
out the country were strSininQ
every nerve tonight TO prepare for
active service on the Mexican
border. New orders flashed over
the wires by Secretary Baker bore
call for haste. Red tape was
cast aside and authorization Qiven
under which the state soldiers will
be rushed to reinforce the border
guards at the earliest possible
moment The entire army Of 10O.-
600 men summoned by President
wilson's call was placed directly
at General Funston's disposal.
Congress also took vigorous and
farreachina action. A resolution
adopted In the house by a vote OF
3S2 to 2. declares that an emer.
pency calling for the use Of troops
IN addition TO the regulars now
exists. and authorizes the presi-
dent to draft Immediately into the
service OF the United States all
members OF the National Guard
who subscribe TO the new oath for
that service. In effect the meas.
ure gives legislative approval OF
President Wilson's call on state
soldiers and provides new nnachln-
cry with which to hasten the
strengthening OF the border guard.
The senate probably will pass
the resolution tomorrow.
