WILSON DEFENDS GuARpsmEN.
President Rebukes Delegation Urging
Universal Training and Service.

ffeSldent Heouke6 OeIe9dtlon urging
Universal Training and Service.
Washington. Jan. o6-President Will
son, speaking to a delegation from the
Maryland League For National De-
fense which attacked the national
guard and advocated universal COM
pulsory military training and service.
rebuked them for their "unrestrained
language" and said they would have
a better chance Of his support if they
We're more reasonable in their atti-
tude.
The memorial which aroused the
president contained a detailed criti-
cism of the sending Of the guard to the
Mexican border and said it was "ut-
terly and absolutely inadequate for the
defense Of the country" The "spec-
tacle now presented on the Mexican
border was referred to. and it was
declared that there we have men do
ing police duty who ought never to
away from their homes except as a
last resort"
'1t Is a scandalous waste OF public
money" was another statement in the
memorial. "Such a system is dis
grace to a civilized people"
The president, discussing compul-
sorry military service, declared that un-
questionably physical training was
needed and would accomplish a great
deal, "but it can be had without COM
pulsory military service" He vigor-
ously defended the efforts being made
in congress to build up a proper mill
tary service.

cARRANZA PLAN OPPOSED.
Mexican Leader Told Restriction Of
Rjohts Of Aliens May Cause Trouble.

Mexico City, Jan. 26.-Secretary OF
State Lansing has sent to General Car
rama thru Charles 3. Parker. Amert-
can charge d'affaires here. commu-
nicatlon in regard to certain provisions
which it has been proposed to include
In the new Mexican constitution.
The communication calls attention to
the article providing that civil COM
mercial companies can not own prop
critics Of q greater area than is neces-
sary to accomplish tho purpose for
which they are formed and placing the
power to determine what area is nee
essary in the hands Of the executive.
The communication says that If the
latter provision we're made radioactive
it might be confiscatory, as no proVi-
sion is made for compensation.
Attention also is called to the article
providing that there be no exemption
from taxation. II this were given a
retroactive effect it would impair con-
tracts of many foreign corporations
now operating under agreements pro-
,viding periods OF exemption by the fed
eral or state governments.
Regarding article 80, dealing with
the expulsion Of obnoxious foreigners,
objection is made because the proposed
article permits the executive to expel
any one, without recourse to appeal,
whose presence !s deemed inadvisable
by him. The letter states that this is
not in accord with the usual practice OF
nations that cause be clearly shown.
Mr. PARKER also has sent to Genera:
Carranza a. statement from Secretary
Lansing protesting against the propos-
ed article in the new constitution which
stipulates that special concessions
must be obtained by exploiters OF oil
lands, and allows companies now own :
ing such lands one year in which to Sc
cure new concessions in order to pro-
tect the rights they already have ac-
quired. The statement says this ar
ticle apparently means virtual nation

DEMOCRATS FEAR REVOLT.
Proposed Excess Profits Tax Meets
Strong Opposition.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Democratic
leaders in the house now are carefully
counting noses to decide whether they
have enough votes to pass the revenue
bill. Strong objection on the demo-
cratic side has cropped out against the
excess profits tax feature of the bill.
Letters are being received by q con-
gressman representing manufacturing
and business districts. protesting
against the excess profits tax. Those
members who represent agricultural
districts generally are in favor o. the
bill, since it specifically excepts hus-
bandry from the tax.
The charge is made by "a number OF
congressman that the bill is fostered
and supported by the representatives
of the agricultural! districts and ~ the
southern congressman as q blow at the
industrial centers Of the north. AS
consequence the revolt, which threat
ened to survive only until the demo-
ocratic caucus tonight, now Is in dam
ger Of invading the caucus.
The fear is expressed by some Of the
democratic leaders that enough demo-
Gratis might withdraw from the caucus
to make the passage Of the excess pro-
fits tax dubious.
It is known that the members of the
committee themselves are not in favor
Of the excess profits tax. Senator Sim
mons. chairman Of the finance commit
tee of the senator who is at present in
Washington, also is opposed to the tax.
The only persons who seem to favor
the tax are Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo, who proposed 1t, and the
president.
1t was learned that the bill has been
written with view to offering even
further exemption than the original
s per cent exemption. A provision has
been inserted in the bill exempting
$1,000 Of profits, even after the per
cent exemption is taken out.
