ALLOW GUARD DRAFT
Baker Submits Resolution to Chair
man Hay About Army Bill.

Washington. June ga resolution
authorizing the president to draft ma
tional guardsmen willing to take the
federal oath Immediately into the reg
ular army under the terms of the new
army bill was submitted by Secretary
Baker to Chairman Hay of the house
military committee today
Mr.. Hay said he would call it up
tomorrow and press for immediate ac-
ton.
If possible, Mr.. Hay said he would
obtain consideration of the resolution
by unanimous consent, but he was pre-
pared to ask for a Special rule if neces-
sary. The resolution differs slightly
from the provision of the measure
originally prepared for bringing the
national guard into federal service in
that it would provide for service dur
ing the period of the emergency, in
stead of 'tthe period of the war" Mem
bers of the active guard of the reserve
in all states, territories and the District
of Columbia who take the new oaths
would be subject to draft under the
resolution. The president would be
authorized to combine various incom-
plete units in order to bring them ul
to war strength and to appoint officers
for them.

WHAT MEANS?
Mexican Ambassador Demands
Explanation of War Move.
Tears Mexican Towns Seized;
BIames Q. S. Cavalry.

washington, June 22.-Eliseo Ar
redondo, Mexican ambassador desig-
nate. today called on Secretary Lans-
ing and asked for an explanation of
the action of American troops in ap-
preaching the town OF Carrizal.
Mr.. Arredondo also sought an expla-
nation of the reported action of Cen
eral Pershing in occupying the towns
of Casas Grandes and Nuevo CaSas
Grandes, saying such an act would be
one of open hostility.
Secretary Lansing had no official
information on which to discuss the
Carrizal affair, and. according to Ar
redondo, also was without knowledge
of whether any Mexican towns actual
ly had been occupied.
Official Mexican dispatches were
described to Secretary Lansing indi-
eating that the Mexican forces thought
the American troops who approached
Carrizal intended to take the town.
Mr. Arredondo said he called Secre-
tary Lansing's attention to the dis
tance traversed by the American
troops from their base and to what
he called, the lack of prudence of
the American commander in ap-
preaching the Mexican railway.
