Hughes Message

Il welcome the support of Progress
sives." Mr.. Hughes message read. I'VE
make common cause in the interest of
national honor, of national security, of
national efficiency. We unite in the de-
mand for an undivided and answering
loyalty to our country; and for whole
hearted patriotic devotion overriding
all racial differences. We want re-
vival Of the American spirit-a nation
restored. We insist upon prompt and
adequate provision for the common de-
tense; upon the steadfast maintenance
of all the rights of our citizens and up
on the integrity of international law.
1.-The most serious differences the
present administration has encountered
have been due to it's own weakness and
incertitude l am profoundly convinced
that by prompt and decisive actions,
which existing conditions manifestly
called for, the Lusitania tragedy would
have been prevented. We strongly de-
nounce the use Of our soil as a base for
alien intrigues for conspiracies and the
fomenting of disorders in the interest
of any foreign nation, but the respon-
sibilities lies at the door of the adj
ministra ton. For that sort Of thing
could not continue if the administra-
ton took proper measures to stop 1t.
That responsibility the administra-
ton cannot evade by condemning 9TH
ers. 1t was officially stated by the sec
rotary Of state in the Mexican note Of
June 20, 1916, that for three years the
Mexican Republic has been torn with
civil strife; the lives of Americans and
other aliens have been sacrificed, prop
critics developed by American capital
and enterprise have been destroyed or
rendered productive; bandits have
been permitted to roam at will
through territory contiguous to the
United States and to seize without
punishment or without effective at

we must have a united party, a party
united by its great traditions and re-
consecrated to it's Hottest ideals. l

forth the trumpet that will never call

troops in northern Chihuahua are be-
ing concentrated hastily and in force
along the line of the Mexican Central
Railroad between Juarez and Chihua-
hua City, according to private dis
patches received here today. These
messages said that eight troop trains
packed with soldiers to be distributed
at points between Villa Ahumada and
Laguna left the state capital last
night. Military men assume from this
movement that in the event of hostili-
ties with the United States, the Mexi-
can plan contemplates the sparing of
no effort to hold the railroad, the main
artery Of transportation from the Dor
der to the interior.
While the Mexican troops are being
aligned along the railroad other re-
ports indicated that General Pershngs

largest forces at FL Vale and Colonia

and Mexican cavalry scouting patrols
are operating.
