OPPOSITION TO war
Texas Congressman Objects to Abso-
lutte Power of President.

Representative Jen McLemore. OF
Texas, author of the famous resolution
which would have restricted Americans
from engag ging passage on ships sched-
uled to enter the war zone on the high
seas. last night issued a statement in
which he vigorously defends his course
In votinS against the resolution declar-
inS war with Germany
The Texas Representative declared: 81
am not yet ready to vote absohutism to
any President. nor will ] ever vote to
abroSate the Monroe doctrine by forming
any alliance with the warning nations OF
the old world"
In his statement he says:
AS much as I may wish to stand by
the President in all things, set I could
not by any force OF reasoning bring my.
self to believe that vote for this reso-
luton was right and just or that in cast
ing such vote / would be voicinS the SEN
timent OF majority of the people have
the honor TO represent
Had the resolution simIIv declared
that state of war has beer thrust upon
the United States by the imperial Ger
man government and then directed the
President to employ the entire naval and
military forces OF the United States and
the resources of the government to carry
on the war. 1t would have received the
Endorsement of the American people gen.
orally. But the resolution makes the
Presidents power absolute.
IF We engage in war with Germany we
do so as an independent nation and not
as an ally Of either England or France.
That 1 am not pacifst. is borne out
by the fact that I was the first Texas
Representative to come out unreserved-
ly for preparedness. and by the further
fact that voted for every preparedness
measure that came before the House of
the last Congress"

Third AGAIN in tent
QUARTERS AT RADIO
Rumored that Regiment Will Be De-
tailed Outside of City.

At home again In the tent city they
left last September TO proceed TO the
Mexican border. the Third Regiment.
District National Guard. is now watch
fully waiting to see what service they
will be assigned to next.
Until orders to the contrary are issued.
the men will remain encamped at Radio
and not begin patrol duty of the Dis
trict, as they expected to do when they
were called back I'm the Federal services
by Presidential orders last Saturday
night
Rumors among officers and enlisted men
were to the effect that the Third was not
going to be assigned to District patrol
duty at all. but would be detailed some
where outside of the city.
The. latest rumor, though there is no
substantiation in fact is that the Third
will be ordered to Fortress Monroe to
aid in the defense of the approaches to
the National Capital. This could not
be certified from oficial sources.
Pitching camp, handicapped by water
soaked ground. gave themilitiamen about
all they could do yesterday. A wind
sprang up in the afternoon, however,
which dried the ground and made this
task easier for the men.
The camp is in shape, though there
seems to be a feeling among the men
that it has not the look of permanency
that would indicate a long sojourn there.
Persistent belief obtains that the De-
partment Of the East is going to spring
surprise shortly and order the Third
away again.
1t Is only a matter of days, or hours
onicers said last night, that the mounted
organizations OF the District Guard will
be called into service. The declaratio
OF a state Of war is expected to speed
these orders along.
The mastering of the Third into Federal
service. aside from roll call. lacked cere-
| mony. the Presidential order calling the
Third out beins considered In army circles
