in an interview which the representa-

who declared that the bringing of let.
tiers Of the King Of Spain by German

The War Department is making
every effort to speed up mobilization
of the National Guard. A few COM

will take the oath at once. In 48 hours,
probably, a substantial force will be
en- route to the border to back up
General Funston's line.

It may be four or five days, how
ever, before War Department officials
would feel safe in withdrawing regu-
lars from the border patrol to form

they may hurl to the support of Cen

No Talk Of Mediation.
One fact as to the conference Is
significant. There was no discussion
of the possibility Of mediation. The
subject was not mentioned either by
the President or his callers, Senator
Stone said.
This statement came in the face OF
a formal notification to Eliseo Are

by his government, that It approved
the principle of mediation as pro-
posed by secera1 Latin-American
countries. Mr.. Arrendondo expected
early authorization to begin converse

the crisis to peaceful channels.
There was no indication that any
diplomat had attempted to sound Sec
rotary Lansing in this respect.
1t is known, however, that he
holds that the United States has moth.

is the protection OF its own borders.
