If Washington authorities should
order them to the Mexican frontier
at once, they would probably be able
to entrain in two weeks.
If they are not ordered to Mexico
at once, it may take three weeks tc
get the troops reasonably prepared
Take Two Weeks. .,
This was the situation today when
the guard went into the second week
of it's preparedness for Mexican duty
Major General Wright today stated
that it would take two weeks before
a general exodus of the Minnesota
troops. The second battalion Of the
First regiment, however, will be
ready to go within few days.

Minnesota Low.
Realizing that Minnesota's condi-
ton of preparedness is lower than
that of almost every other state, the
national guard today jumped into the
game of getting ready. @ r.
Tents had been erected for the SOL
diers several days ago. Kitchens had
been erected and showers baths in
tents were ready for use. Plumbing
to increase sanitation, emptying into
the intersection of the Minnesota and
Mississippi rivers into which the
forts grounds jut, had been built.
Hardening Drills.
Today's work consisted of harden
ing drills and getting the soldier
boys on speaking terms with their
rifles. Long hikes will probably not
be started before tomorrow, which
is the date for st. Paul's civic patri'

The United States in it's ultimatum
to Mexico states that the government
of the United States can place no
other construction upon the Mexican
communication that it is intended
as formal avowal of deliberately
hostile act against the forces of the
U. S. now in Mexico, and the an
nouncement Of the purpose to attack
u. S. men without provocation when
ever they move from the present po-
sitions in pursuance of the object for
which they were sent to Mexico, not
withstanding that these acts do not
involve unfriendly intent but to pro-
tect the U. S. from bandit raids.
>.. Demand Statement.
Therefore, says the ultimatum, the
u. S. demands the immediate release
of prisoners taken in the encounter
at Carrizal, with any property of the
u. S. taken with them, and the gov
ernment of the u S. expects an early
statement from your government re-
garding it's course of action. This
statement must be made through
usual channels and not through sub
ordinate military commanders.
Congressional leaders today were
prepared to receive message from
President Wilson. Chairman Flood
of the house foreign affairs commit
tee told his colleagues today that war
seems a certainty.
Senator Stone was in an hours
conference with the president today.
He then admitted that the situation
was exceedingly acute and would
make no denial that war was virtu-
ally here.

General Funston yesterday re-
ceived from General Pershing let
ter that Captain Morey of the am
bushed Tenth cavalry wrote while

The Great Drive.

Charles Evans Hughes has finished the first
week OF his drive through the West and the out
standing result OF his energetic efforts on the
stump seems to be that he has put the admins
tration definitely and clearly on the defensive.
The second important result that he has obtained
IS born OF his apparently successful resistance
OF the administrations counter-attacks
hen Mr. Hughes centered his attack on the
alleged dismissal of Mr.. Durand as Director OF
the Census, Secretary Rcdfcld came boldly to
the front with denial Then Mr. Hughes pro-
dHced letter from Mr.. Durand and this letter
seemed to bear out Mr.. Hughes charges so
clearly that Secretary Redheld retreated into the
position that Mr.. Durand deserved dismissal -
This feature of Mr. Hughes attack has created
deep impression in Washington where the
facts concerning Mr.. Durand's retirement are
better known than in other cities
MI Hughes has only begun his campaign and
therefore it is too carly for an accurate estimate
OF the full effect OF his attack but even at this
early stage he has accomplished much In the
first place. Mr. Hughes has made favorable
impression on the people Even Democrats will
admit that his reception has been much warmer
than was generally expected. And then he has
revealed more of his human side. that part OF
his character Of which so little was known

hrst and America efficient" phrase and argu-
ments with as much as in the East He
has held closely to his advocacy of military
adequate for Americas needs, a protective tariff
sufficient to guard the nations prosperity and an
administration efficient from the standpoint of
the whole nation
He has talked loud and long for unadulterated
Amercanism, and between his appeal to patriot
ism he has made spirited attacks on the White
House as political almshouse" and on the ad-
minlstration pork barrel and pie counter His
speeches have caught the throngs he has ad

linger until November?

asserted that Mr.. Hughes has succeeded in center.

faults OF the administration. and the Republicans

Douglas always enjoyed an unusual

At the national convention OF that
year, Douglas strength was so great
that a majority OF the delegates voted
for his nomination. Rut II was impoG-
sible to secure more than a small ms =
jority. Nevertheless had the Douglas
delegates continued TO vote for him
they could have prevented the nomina-
tion Of any man whom they did not
want the Democracy to nominate.
Douglas was communicated with
and told that he had a majority, but
that IT was apparently impossible for

friends that although he had always
been opposed to the two-thirds rule
