SAILS FOR HOME
lRv Associated Presn

ARCHANGEL, May 29-The first
American unit to sail for home will
be battalion which has held the
Vologda railway front. The few Amer
ican. infantry and engineer detach-
ments still in the front line positions
are fighting in continuous daylight.
There is no midnight sun but for two
or three hours after eleven o'clock at
night, there is hazy twilight over nor
thern Russia.
The inhabitants of villages along
the Terski coast, which is the land
locked southern shore of the Kola
peninsula have been relieved from
starvation by the American Red Cross
ship which has returned here after
penetrating the ice flows. This ship
commanded by Capt. j. R. Clewell of
Belingham. Wash, was the first craft
to visit the villages since the Ameri-
can Red Cross ship was there last
autumn
Large crowds, including many Amer
ican and Russian soldiers, witnessed a
parade today of the British relief force
which arrived here yes erday. All the
British soldiers are picked men and
created fine impression. They were
agreeably disappointed to find, instead
of the expected Arctic conditions
warm bright sunshine and green grass.

Wilson S Message
(By Associated Press>


WASHINGTON, May 29.-President
Wilson has cabled the following Me-
mortal Day message to the American
people:
my fellow countrymen:
Memorial Day wears this year an
added significance and 1 wish, if only
by message, to take part with you in
its observation and in expressing the
sentiment 1t inevitably suggests. In
observing the day we commemorate
not only the reunion of our own coun-
try, but also now the liberation of the
world from one of the serious dangers
to which free government and the free
life of men were ever exposed We
have buried the gallant and now i'm
mortal men who died in this great
war of liberation with a new sense
of conscience. Our thoughts and pur-
poses are now eonsecrated to the
maintenance of the liberty of the
world and of the union of its people
in a single comradeship of liberty
and of right. 1t was for this that our
men conscientiously offered their
lives. They came to the field of bat
tie with the high spirit and pure heart
of crusaders. We must never forget
the duty that their sacrifice has laid
upon US Of fulfilling their hopes and
their purpose to the utmost. This it
seems to me is the impressive lesson
and the inspiring mandate of the
day.
Woodrow Wilson"

ARMY OF 100000
AGAIN Urged BY
SECRETARY BAKER
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Secretary
Baker today renewed before the house
military committee lis recommends
tion that congress provide a tempo
rary army of $4,000 men.
II am not asking for any increase
in the permanent military establish
ment," the secretary said. "All am
asking for is sufficient money to pro-
vide for an army of $4,000. The
question of adopting legislation pro-
viding for an increase in the perma-
nent army is a question which con-
gress can take up later The great
need now is quick action on the ap-
preparation bill"
General March, chief Of staff, told
the committee that demobilization was
proceeding so rapidly every man in
France could be back in this country
within four months if an army of oc-
cupation in Europe were not needed.
Until a definite international policy
IS worked out, however" General
March declared, 1--WE must maintain an
army of occupation there This army
will soon be reduced, however, to the
regular divisions
The number of men in camp in this
country also is being rapidly reduced,
the general said.
Military education in all schools
above the primary grades was thought
advisable by Secretary Baker.

Senate Resolution by Watson Voices Americas
Gratitude to Salvation Army for Work IN War

WASHINGTON. May 29.-Ameri-
cas- gratitude for the work OF the
Salvation Army In France and Bel
gium was voiced today in a resoIu-
tion introduced in the United States
senate by Senator James e. Watson,
of Indiana, comforting upon Miss
Evangeline Booth, commander OF the
Salvation Army in America, the hon
orary rank Of colonel in the United
States army. and further recommend
ing that a Distinguished Service
Medal be awarded to her.
Senator Watson spoke of the inti-
mate service that had been rendered
by the Salvation Army to the Ameri-
can soldiers. This consisted of sew
ing on buttons. distributing dough
nuts, and giving advice to the men
who sought it at times and under
conditions when it was most appre-
ciated. He told how the Salvation
Army had been forced to borrow
s25,000 in order to start it's work
during the war, and that from this
beginning with twenty workers sent
with the American troops, the Sal
vation Army activities grew to 1,120
working women and men too old for
huts and hotels.
Il regard 1t as only a just and
gracious act that the congress of the
United States should officially recog-
niZe the invaluable service rendered
among our troops in France by the
Salvation Army, of which Miss Evan
geline Booth is the American COM
mander," said the senator. when
the United States entered the war
the Salvation Army was ready
Across the seas they were in the van
with the advancing army, and many
times were under shell fire. Long
will be remembered the slogan of
the Salvation Army woman who said,
We can die with the boys, but we
cannot desert them The Salvation
Army women were mothers to our
boys in khaki. Not only did they

fBy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, May 29.-President
Carranza has been notified by the
American government that permission
for the passage of Mexican troops
through American territory will be
withheld for the present Mexico has
asked to be permitted to move 1000
men from Aqua Prieta to Juarez for
operation against Francisco Villas
forces.
1t was said today officially that the
decision Of the government was based
on the belief that the force which it
was proposed to move through Ari
zona, New Mexico and Texas, would
not be able to furnish protection to
American citizens in Northern Mexico
because the revolutionists had cut the
road between JuareZ and Chihuahua.
Senators Enter Protest.
Governor Hobby of Texas has noti-
fled the state department that he will
offer no objections to the passage of
the troops through Texas provided
guarantees for protection of Ameri-
cans in Northern Mexico can be OBJ
tained. Protests, however, are under
stood to have reached the state de-
partment from number of sources in
Guiding senators from the border
states, the basis being that the move
ment Of the Mexican troops might re-
suit in another raid similar to that on
Columbus, N. NJ, after Mexican troops
had passed through the United States
several years ago.
The situation in Northern Mexico
was described as somewhat delicate
Villa has become advised of Carranzas s
request and it is believed he is waiting
with sufficient forces to make negligi-
Bile any effort on the part of the fed
eral troops to go to the relief OF Chi
