FAILURE FOR
.GA!RlR||S0KS n !
AN
Senator Chamberlain, Head
!. Of Military Committee, to
I Oppose Continental Army
Idea Of War Secretary
BY United Press Leased wire.

Washington, Jan. 20.--Secretary
OF War Garrison's plan for contin-
entail army Is apparently doomed.
Moreover, other features Of the ad-
ministration preparedness program
are so confused that any measure
passing both houses is likely to be
a compromise.
Friends OF Senator Chamberlain OF
Oregon, military committee chairman,
expect him to announce soon his open
opposition to the continental plan.
Moreover. General Leonard Woods
Expressions against this scheme have
tended to increase antagonism to It.
II Chamberlain takes his antici-
pated course, then the preparedness
situation will be this:
Secretary Garrison favoring the
continental plan.
Chairman Hay Of the house mill
tary committee supporting the idea
lof building up the militia.
Senator Chamberlain favoring his
| bin for universal service as in the
Australian system. 3
Half dozen other plans of varying
kinds.
One outcome suggested as the re-
lsult OF this situation is that Garrison
may abondon his advocacy Of the con-
tinental system.
Senator Chamberlain announced
today he would favor Garrison's
scheme only as second choice.
Like General Wood, l favor COM
pulsory service under short term en-
listment, with the provision Of allow
ling soldier to be discharged into
the reserve when an authorized Of
ncer pronounces him efficient. This
should be wonderful stimulant to
Ambitious young men.
"The continental army plan is un-
satisfactory. and it lacks effective
ness. But possibly 1t has one political
advantage which the other plans lack
President Wilson favors 1t. For
my part. If can not get pie. | will

WORRY TO ALLIES

London, Jan. 20.--Though busy on
every front. the allies see perhaps a
new peril In Spain.
Because OF growing unrest In
Portugal, they are keeping watchful
eyes on every move by Spain. for the
rumor persists that Spain Is secretly
preparing to invade Portugal, should
Spain believe England is too busy or
unable to help Portugal. Portuguese
adyices declare that internal condi-
tions are growing more serious.
though there is no claim that Spain
Is responsible for this situation. A
critical food situation. coupled with
incessant strikes and riots, keep the
republican guards alert.
Eighty thousand workers are re-
ported on strike at Oporto, while
agitators are working at Lisbon,
where trouble Is expected. Thous-
ands OF civilians. including women,
recently stormed the Portategro sta
tion. where they conflscated olives
and potatoes.
Tho haste with which Spain Is new
ly equipping her army is giving the
allies considerable concern, for II is
popularly rumored that she hopes to
turn the tide against the allies by
overwhelming Portugal,

Rebel Chiefiain, Whose Lite

. Sends Word. 70 Mexican
Leaders to Seek Him Out

El Paso, Jan. 20.--From General
Villas stronghold In the Sierra
Madres came today q def to General
Carranza, following the latter's issu-
ance Of an order proclaiming Villas
life forfeited on sight.
. Come and get me-" was the sub
stance of the rebel chieftain's chal-
lenge which filtered through to Car
rama followers waging campaign
OF determination against villa and
HIS bandits.
From this defiance Carranzista
leaders interpreted that villa intends
to make a last-ditch fight when cor
|nered. They believe he will struggle
with the fatalistic abandon which
marks most Mexicans; hence, they
scarcely expect to take him alive.
Carranza's proclamation is but .
formality. villa could scarcely e.
cape even without It once the Car
Iranzistas tracked him. But the rebel
Leader Is in q secure hiding spot in
lthe mountains, and none but his most
trusted leaders can approach him.
From his secluded den his men have
lbeen making unexpected thrusts for
| food and loot among the ranches Of
western Chihuahua and northern
Durango. leaving a trail Of terror and
horror. Already some Of Villas hid
den stores of ammunition have been
captured. in addition to some Of his
bandits. Execution Of the latter -
slated for chihuahua City.
In the group are some OF the men
responsible for the massacre Of Is
Americans at Santa Ysabel. In pur-
suance Of the Carranzistas' campaign
Of ..frightfulness." their bodies will
be displayed, naked. in public spot.
Publication today Of the official re-
port on the mutilations OF the santa
Ysabel victims renewed the anti
Mexican feeling here
The report showed soft-nosed bull
llets had torn gaping hole in one
body; that other victims had been
sabered; that most of the corpses
showed bruises where the marauders
mad hammered them after shooting
them, to ascertain If there was still
any life. In every case there was evil
dence of torture. The whole message.
