Troops To Be Sent 10 Mexican Border
For Immediate Service.
WAR VESSELS ORDERED SOUTH
Caranza's Demand for Withdrawal
Of Pershing's Expedition Brings
Crisis in Border Trouble.

Washington, D. c. Virtually the
entire mobile strength of the National
guard of all states and the District of
Columbia was ordered mustered into the
Federal service Sunday night by Presi-
dent Wilson. About 100, 600 men are
expected to respond to the call.
They will be mobilized Immediately
for such service on the Mexican border
as may be assigned to them. General
Frederick Funston, commanding the
border forces, will designate the time
and place for movement of guardsmen
to the international line as the occa-
sion shall require.
In announcing the orders Secretary
Baker said the state forces would be
employed only to guard the border,
and that no additional troop movements
into Mexico were contemplated except
in pursuit of raiders.
simultaneously with the National
guard call, Secreary Daniels, of the
Navy department., ordered additional
war vessels to Mexican waters on both
coasts to safeguard, American lives.
Within the last two weeks, however,
tension has been increasing steadily.
The crisis presented by General Car
ranza's note demanding the recall Of
General Pershing's expeditionary force
has been followed by virtual ultima
tum served on the American officer by
General Trevino, the Mexican COM
mander in Chihuahua. To this was
added Sunday the possibility that
American and Mexican troops bad
clashed across the border from San
Benito, Texas.

vention that President Wilson himself
considered it vital to party success it
was voted into the platform, 1884, to
1919. The whole platform then was
adopted without roll call.
AS it went into the platform the
suffrage plank stands:
"We favor the extension of the
franchise to the women of this coun-
try, state by state, on the same terms
as to the men,"
The women suffrage leaders consid-
cred it much more favorable declara-
tion than they got from the Republi-
can convention at Chicago; they threw
all their force behind it and won the
support of the administration leaders,
who were found fighting for them
when danger threatened.
Haggared and worn from an all
night session, the platform makers
were not ready with their report until
afternoon, when Senator Stone, Sleep
less for more than 80 hours, took the
speakers stand to read the document
gave over this task to Senator Walsh,
of Montana, and Senator Hollis, of
New Hampshire. They "spelled"
each other reading the long declara-
tion.
The fight on the suffrage plank was
in the air. Every body was keyed up
to it when at the conclusion of the
reading of the platform Martin Lomas-
ney, Of Boston, delegate, claimed the
attention of the chair, it was thought
that he was opening the fight. 1t was
several minutes before the shouts of
approval and cries Of disapproval could
be stilled sufficiently to hear that he
wanted to put the convention on record
as sympathizing with "the people of

st. Louis s-The Democratic National
Convention finished its work Friday by
adopting the party platform exactly as
approved by President Wilson and sub,
mitted by the resolutions committee,
including the planks on Americanism
and favornig woman suffrage, but not
until the harmony of its three days
session had been rippled with a row
over the suffrage plank.
No voice was raised against the
declarations of the Amricanism plank.
At one time it looked as if the suffrage
plank had been lost, but after Senator

Sailors Clash With Mexicans.

Washington, d. CA clash between
Carranza soldiers and American sea-
men from the gunboat Annapolis at
Mazatlan was called TO the attention
of the Washington government Tues
day by General Carranza's ambassa-
dor here, with request that in the
extising tense situation no men be
landed in Mexico from American war
ships under any circumstances.
The incident, which occurred Mon
day, resulted in casualties on both
sides and in the capture by the Mexi-
cans of two American officers, who,
after explanation, were released, ac-
cording to the reports presented by the
ambassador. A dispatch from Admiral
Winslow, of the Pacific fleet, announc-
ing the capture of the men, made no
mention Of their release, but officials
assumed it had occurred after the mes
sage was sent.

state for service on the Mexican bor-

In announcing the Presidents decis-

the militia would be sent to the border
whenever and as fully as General Fun
ston determines them to be needed.
Brigadier General Alfred Mills,
chief of the division of militia affairs,
estimated the minimum militia force
which would respond to the call as
100, 900 men.

Mexicans Marching on Del Rio.

Mexicans Marching on Del Rio.
San Antonio, Tex. - Mexican gov
ernment troops were reported Monday
night to be marching toward Del Rio,
border town about 100 miles up the
Rio Grande from Eagle Pass, with the
announced intention of attacking the
Americans there.
This information was the most nota-
BILE bit of evidence indicating the atti-
tude of the de facto government that
reached General Funston. 1t was
brought to the border by Mexican,
who said the force was 1900 strong.
General Pershing's reports indicated
that General Jacinto Trevino's troops
had not yet made any advance move
and army officials believed it improb-
able that they would unless Trevino
received special orders from Mexico
City.
Such information as reached General
Funston concerning the movements of
Mexican troops indicated the adoption
of a plan not to maintain heavy gar
risons at border points, but to hold the
bulk of the border army some miles
south of the Rio Grande.

CONVENTION ACTS
in HARMONY

Coliseum, st. Louis-President viii.
son and Vice President Marshall were
nominated by acclamation late Thurs.
day night by the Democratic National
convention, the ticket being completed
four minutes before Friday.
Contrary to expectation, however,
the convention did not finish it's work,
because the platform was not ready,
and it met again at IL o'clock Friday
morning.
1t was announced in the convention
that the subcommittee drafting the
platform had finished it's work, but
that the entire resolutions committee
was not assembled to pass upon it, and
it was not known when that could be
done.
President Wilson's own plank,
charging conspiracy among some for
eign-born citizens for the benefit of
the foreign powers and denouncing any
political party which benefits and not
repudiating such situation, was in
corporated in the platform just as the
President himself had sent it from
Washington. 1t was understood that
the President insisted that the plank
should be put in the platform in the
way he had drawn it.
There never was any doubt of Presi-
dent Wilson'S nomination, but there
was possibility that some vice-presi-
Dental booms might be brought out in
opposition to Vice President Marshall.
They melted away, however, when
the convention got in session, and as
soon as President Wilson's nomination
had been made roaring chorus of ac-
clamation, Senator Kern, who re-nomi-
mated Mr.. Marshall, cast aside long
prepared speech and simply declared:
81 nominate Thomas Riley Marshall,
of Indiana, for vice president. 4"
To President Wilson's nomination
there was only one dissenting vote,
Robert Emmett Burke, of Illinois.
A striking incident of the session
was the action of the convention in
calling on William J. Bryan to speak.
This was done on the motion of Sena-
tor Thompson, of Kansas, that the
rules be suspended and the ex-secre-
tary be permitted to take the plat
form. The motion was carried and
Mr.. Bryan was escorted to the plat
form Immediately.
He spoke 45 minutes, pledging his
support to the President.

"Raus NIT him, roared Baltimore
delegate and the convention hall
rocked with laughter.
The real fight broke Immediately
after, however, when Governor Fer
guson, of Texas, who headed the mi
nority report against the administra-
tion plank, was given 80 minutes in
which to discuss it.
The plank offered by the minority
was this:
"The' Democratic party has always
stood for the sovereignty of the sew
eral states in the control and regula-
zion of elections. We reaffirm the
historic position of our party in this
regard and favor the continuance of
that wise provision of the federal con-
stitution which vests in the several
states of the union the power to pre-
scribe the qualifications of their cleo

GENERAL CARRANzA'S DEMANDS
STFRNLY REFUSED BY WILSON

Washington, D. C.-Upon General
Carranza's reception of stern refusal
to heed his demands for recall of
American troops from Mexico hinges
the question Of Mexican war, in the
opinion of President Wilson's close ad-
visers. They were prepared Tuesday
for the possibility of open hostilities
after the note which was sent forward
to Carranza.
No indication has come that the first
chiefs attitude OF impla,...,ss hqstilirv
would be shaken by the reiterated dec
laration of the latest communication
that the United States has no aggres-
sive or warlike purpose toward Mexi-
co, but is firmly resolved to protect
her borders and end brigandage in the
border states.
Indications that the militia now be-
ing mobilized is intended as we'll for
invasion of Mexico as for guard duty
on the border appeared in administra-
tion circles when steps were taken to
have the new army reorganization law,
which becomes effective July l, be-
come in force at once.
While the diplomatic steps were in
progress the nation was stirred
throughout its length and breadth with
the movement of National Guardsmen
mobilizing to guard the border. At
least 100, 900 and possibly far larger
number were preparing for active serv-
ice under President Wilson's call. For
the present their mission will be pure
ly one of defense, but, should war
come, they will be ready also for that.
They will not be assigned for border
duty until mustered into the federal
service.
Official reports from many quarters
show that flame of popular feeling
against the United States is benig
kindled throughout Mexico. Appar-
emily it is being done with the sane
tion of General Carranza, for the acts
in many cases are those of his author
lied military or civil agents.
Neither State department officials
nor members of the diplomatic corps
here have been able to satisfy them
selves as to Carranza's motives. There
are some, however, who believe he
hopes to ride into popularity by
diplomatic triumph over his powerful
northern neighbor or upon war wave
which might re-establish his tottering
government in popular estimation.
Once the war was on and the certain
defeat of his armies foreshadowed, the
observers say, General Carranza might
sue for peace, trusting to the magma
nimity of the Washington government
to leave him in power.
