American Army Now Sta- toned So That Almost 1n- stant Action Could Be Se- cured from Central Point; National Guard Expected to Begin Arriving Tonight; Publicity of Troop Move ments to Be Checked.
San Antonio, Tex, June

San Antonio, Tex, June 27.-General Funston and his ~ staff searched every report from all border stations to- day for signs of hostility on the part of Carranza's army >'that is pouring into northern Mexico, but the real work at department headquarters was the supervision of the multi r tudinous details incident to preparing the American forces for efficient action.
 Overnight and early morn ing reports from Fl Paso, Eagle Pass, Brownsville and other headquarters posts in- dicated no aggression by Mexicans.
 Units of the American army have been stationed in such manner that almost in- stant action could be obtained by the commanding officer here. No relaxation of ef- forts to guard the border towns and ranches from ban dits has been displayed but far more attention has been paid to marshalling the thous- ands of men along the border.
 Influx Begins Tonight.
 The units of the national guard now moving throughout the United States are expected to begin arriving in Texas tonight. Where they will be stationed will not be made public here and in most cases those commanding the guardsmen have not been inform ed of their final destinations.
 Some impatience was displayed at General Funston's headquarters today that so much publicity already had been given to the movements of troops and it was indicated as practically certain that a censorship that would % be far-reaching in its operation soon would be instituted.

WILSON DEFENDS
HIS RECENT PEACE
ALLIANCE SPEECH
"No Entangling Alliance but One
to Disentangle Peoples of
the World" He Says.

Washington, May 30-President Wilson
delivered n Memorial day address here to-
day in which he defined the spirit Of
America, warned citizens OF foreign birth
not to set themselves against the pur-
poses of the nation, called on young men
to perform voluntary military service and
defended his recent suggestion for an all-
ance of nations to preserve peace. He
spoke at Arlington National cemetery be-
fore an audience made up largely of Civil
War veterans, who applauded him vigor-
ously.
While he declared he had no harshness
in his heart for Americans of foreign
birth and expected them still to love the
sources of their origin, the President
said: America must come first in every
purpose we entertain and every man
must count upon being cast out Of our
confidence, cast out even of our tolerance,
who does not submit to that great ruling
principle"
The President reiterated his sugges-
ton before the league to enforce peace
last week, that the United States was
ready to become partner in any ali-
ance OF the nations which would guar
antee public right against selfish ag-
gression.'
OF published criticisms reminding him
that George Washington warned the
nation against "entangling alliances"
he said:
II shall never myself consent to an
entangling alliance, but would gladly
assent to disentangling alliance, an
alliance which would disentangle the
peoples of the world from those COM
binations in which they seek their own
separate and private interests, and unite
the people of the world to preserve the
peace of the world upon basis of COM
mon right and Justice
Universal training and preparedness
were possible, Nh Wilson declared, only
If the men Of suitable strength and age
will volunteer. He 2ad the "acid test"
was about to be applied to business men
to see whether they would allow their
employees to volunteer He said the
army reorganization bill now before him
bristled with that Interrogation point,
which he warned all the business men of
the country was staring him in the face.
The President said he was for uni
versal voluntary training" but that
America does not wish anything but
the compulsion of the spirit of Amer
lea"
He added that the people of the ma
ton are watching each other, and that
a great many men, even when they do
not want TO, were going to stand up
and say, "here.'

GERMANS WOULD KEEP
DYESTUFF MONOPOLY
Combination to Meet 4. =. and English
Competition.

New York, May 3O.-An exposition Of
the combination among the dye and chem
ical makers in Germany and Of the efforts
they intend making In view Of the estab-
llshment Of the color-malSing works in
Great Britain and this country Is contain
ed in report sent to tho department Of
commerce by Consul General Harris from
Frankfort on the Main The report is
subjoined.
For some years past two important
groups have existed among the large dye
stuff and chemical Industries of Germany.
Each of these groups contains three OF the
more important concerns which, although
operating independently, have had an I'M
derstandng among themselves as to vari-
Gus matters arising In the conduct of
their business. The groups themselves
had no common interest and were active
competitors. The profits accruing in one
Of tho two groups were divided among the
three concerns according to "A scale
agreed upon. In the other group there
was no pooling OF profits.
For some time past negotiations have
been pending for fruther combina-
Of other concerns thereto. 1t is now
been accomplished. The reason for a
further uniting Of the industry Is
stated to have grown in part out of
the war and the heavy losses due TO
an interruption of business in hostile
countries to the large outstanding &C
counts as well as to property interests
in these countries. together with pro-
posed legislation in several countries

been made in newspapers of the pro-
posed efforts In the United States and
England to establish the dyestuff in
dustry on large scale and thus in
crease competition in these countries
Proposed legislation in the United
states to increase the tariff on dye
stuffs and to prevent the sale OF dye
stuffs in the country at a lower price
| than the same products are sold in
| Germany is also referred to.
! The movement now on foot among
the factories is said to be merely n
defensive one to meet the more diff
ficult situation that has arisen and is
likely to arise after the war. If it be-
comes necessary to manufacture in
foreign countries, the industry, acting
as a whole can do this more easily
than n single concern or a small group
could do. The plan of working to-
gether in this manner by the greatest
concerns Of their kind in the world is
referred to as likely to be of far
reaching industrial Importance.
The plan as agreed upon leaves each
concern an Independent and competing
one, with it's own plant. laboratories

control"

CANNOT DICTATE
PEACE, SAYS GERMANY
Berlin Paper Says One Is Not Conn
PEELED to Do What Mediator Desires.

Berlin, May 20-The question of peace,
and particularly of possible mediation by
President Wilson, continues to be much
discussed here.
Eugen Zimmerman. editor of the Lokal-
Anzeiger. says:
THE idea Of bringing the war to an
end through the mediation of neutral
power arose in the first months of the
war, when 1t was see how the con-
fict continued to spread and what colos-
sal values it must annihilate,
THE few men who came into dis
| cussion as medators and to whom the
neutral powers behind them lend the
requisite importance in addition to their
| own personalities. are regarded with con-
| fdence or suspicion, according as they
| have shown themselves friendly or I'M
| friendly to one side or the other dur
| ing the course of the war. In this con-
| nection, however, the influence OF the
| mediator in the final outcome of peace
| negotiations has undoubtedly been over
| estimated.
THE thought that the peace mediator
might prove n peace dictator springs
| from the curious idea that one would
be compelled to do what the peace me-
dator desired In serious political cir
cles in Germany, fortunately, this idea
is not held. Should peace mediator
ever become really necessary and APP
pear on the political stage his part
should prove n rather short one, If he
ascertained the peace inclinations of
| warning powers and proposed and
| brought about an armistice, he would
| have done enough to be mentioned Glor-
ously in history The question of peace
itself would have to be left entirely to
the powers Immediately concerned in the
| war.
at is quite another matter whether
incidentally all the civilized peoples
could and should discuss their future
vital interests at a Joint conference, but
that would have nothing to do with
peace mediation as such"
