ment. Two committees Of the Hpuse
are prepared to take steps to investi-
gate the entire matter. and members
of the Senate will urge that the For
eign Relations subcommittee. now
investigating the Mexican situation,
make an Immediate inquiry and re-
port at once to the Senate.
The plea of the Carranza govern
ment, that Jenkins has been offered
his release under bail, bears little
weight here. 1t is believed that this
has been an attempt on the part of
the Mexican government to secure
substantiation of its course. II Jen-
kins had accepted bail 1t is believed
mediate rise to a claim that. by so
doing, Jenkins had recognized the
right of the Mexican government to
throw hi n in Jail.
The whole situation has caused no
unusual comment here. 1t Is being
taken calmly, and officials who have
steadily believed that the time must
come for a complete showdown with
Carranza are inclined to believe that
this time Is now at hand.
The Administration is not anxious
for Intervention, but 1t Is prepared to
resort to 1t IL necessary.
The text of Carranza's refusal to
liberate Jenkins was received here
yesterday afternoon and rushed at
once to the home of Secretary Lam
sing.
Representations so far made by
Mexico have failed to convince this
Government that jenkins is guilty of
collusion with bandits. 1t was learned
authoritatively. The State Depart
ment believes he Is innocent.
The Mexican embassy here has Is
sued several statements tending to
throw suspicion on Jenkins character.
One Of them alleged he was guilty of
conspiracy with bandits in 1914. 1t
was considered significant these
statements were given out before the
American Government had any inti-
nation of the nature of Carranza's
reply.
Breaking Point Near.
The general feeling here today is
that the United States and Mexico are
very near a rupture, much nearer than
| at any time in recent history. In past
wrangles with Mexico, 1t Is pointed
out, the policy of America had the
right to settle her problems for her
J self and in her own way. Now, after
years OF international differences. all
more or less serious, the patience of
the United States seems to be at an
end. with an accounting to be called
for.
! The official text of the Mexican re-
! ply was given out by the State De-
partment at noon today. 1t differed
| in no material way from the text as

preparing to enter other Industries.

that the surplus Of labor has been one

BLUFF ARKANSAS
ROOSEVELT ORDERED
 DEWEY TO PREPARED FOR WAR WITH SPAIN

Washington, Jan. 7.--ln the records of the Navy Department, Theodore Roosevelt has left many memorials, but none more striking than an order cabled to Admiral Dewey on FebrG- ary 2oth, 1898, nearly two months be- fore war was declared on Spain, in which the first step toward American occupation of the Philippine Islands was taken.
 MT. Roosevelt, then Assistant Secre" tary of the Navy, issued the order, without the knowledge or approval of Secretary Long, and in his autoblo- graphy he described this as one of the times when he seized opportunities presented by the absence of the secre- tary to take steps towards preparation for war, which he regarded as vital.
 MT. Roosevelt had repeatedly urged that prompt action be taken to make ready for war. He believed Admiral, then Commodore Dewey, commanding tre Asiatic fleet, should be given ad- vance instructions. No instruction were sent to Dewey, however, and when Mir. Long department from Washington on February 25th, leay- ing Roosevelt as acting secretary, this order, over Roosevelt's name went ov- CT the cables:
 Dewey, Hong Kong:
 Secret and confidential. Order the squadron, except Monocacy to Hong Kong Keep full of coal In event Of declaration war Spain, your duty will be to see that Spanish squadron does not leave Asiatic coast, and then or fensive operations in Philippine 1s- lands Keep Olympia Dewey's Flag ship at Manila Bay, previously order ed home), until further orders.
 Roosevelt"
 In discussing this and similar steps he took, MT. Roosevelt said in his ac- count of his own life of what he re- garded as the greatest weakness ot the navy at that time, it's poor gun nery. He recalled many letters written on this subject by the American naval attache at Paris, then Lieutenant, now Vice-Admiral Sims, and declared that this young officer alone seemed to req lize fully the deplorable st..te of the navy in this regard on the eve of war.
 Subsequently, as President, MT. Roosevelt, singled out Sims and placea him at the head of naval gunnery which resulted in development or tne present high standards of markman- ship in the United States navy.

PROPAGANDA
 AGAINST SPREAD
 OF BOLSHEVIK

Washington, Jan. 7.--Plans for an extensive propaganda campaign against the spread of Bolshevism, as a part of postwar work of the Nation- al Security League, were discussed to- day by Colonel Charles w. Lydecker. President of the League, before the special house committee Investigating activities of the organization during the last congressional campaign.
 Asked by Representative Reavis, of Nebraska, if he believed Bolsheviki ideas were general in Congress, Col onel Lydecker said he thought not.
 What I fear" he said "is that Bolshevik ideas will so spread among the laboring class of the country un- less it is stopped that industrial un- rest will be caused"
 The Bolshevik menace, he added, was more local than national, but he believed there were enough affected localities to warrant national action.

M'CUMBER ADVOCATES LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 INCLUDING GERMANY

Washington, Jan. 7.--lnlmedlate es- tablishment of league of nations with Germany as member, was urged III the senate today by Senator McCumbcr of North Dakota, the first Reuublican member of the senate to voice approval of President Wilson's proposal for such an organization.
 The first clause of compact for such league, Senator McCumber said. should declare "that each inde- pendent nation of the world as 1t shall exist at the time this compact shall be executed, has the right to live and work out it's own destiny free from any imposing danger of any mighty military neighbor."
 with such solemn compact of nations, executed by all the great nations of the world" said the North Dakota senator, "the danger of any great war would be pressed far into the realm of impossibility. Does any body believe that if such great in ternational agreement had been in ex- istence prior to 1914, even Germany, with her autocratic and irresponsible SOVeIHlHeIlC WOulu nave udIcu DICtAh her compacts.
 q want this bond, and I want Ger mans signature to this bond. She has been the only country that has threatened the peace of the whole world for the last 45 years and to meet her threat every other nation has had to keep itself armed to the teeth and weighted to the verge of poverty to maintain mighty arma- ments.
 And as deeply as l hate Kaiserism, and the abominable doctrines of mil itary Germany, I believe we should extend the hand of brotherhood and friendship to democratic Germany when it's people have repudiated the stigmas on real German character, and have steered their country clear of the worst malady,F Bolsheyism.
 Replying to the argument that es- tablishment of league of nations would weaken the Monroe Doctrine, Senator McCumber said the league would strengthen it as nations would be bound to respect the territorial in- tegrity of the Central and South American republics, whereas now only the United States guarantees their independence and integrity.
 Discussing other phases of the work of the peace conference, Senator Me Cumber said the congress at Yer sailles may find it necessary to re- turn to Belgium all of the territory wrested from her in 1889 and thus make the Rhine river the western boundary of Germany.
 "The allies," he said, "may deem this necessary to place Germany in a position where the wicked teachings of her military and political rulers which brought on this war cannot in the future influence any great portion of Europe and thus re-endanger it's peace and safety."'

FOR ACQUISITION OF
 LOWER CALIFORNIA

Washington, Jan. 7.-Speaklng m the senate today in support of hls resolution for acquisition by the Unit ed States through negotiating with Mexico of Lower California and part of the state of Sonora, Senator Ashurst of Arizona, declared the Mex ican government was unable to con- trol the terrieory or protect 1t from foreign invasion. Annexed to the United States, he said, it could be con- verted into immense agricultural value by irrigation from the Colorado river.
 Lower California, said the senator, is "the vermiform appendix of Mexico and the Achilles heel of the United States"
 The Mexican republis is both un- willing and unable to police the pen insula, he added, "and is unable to re- sist aggressions from or settlement by Oriental powers; hence base of sup plies or of military and naval opera tions, with comparative ease and secrecy could be established among the numerous islands on the Pacific coast"
 Enforcement of law and order in Lower California, Mir. Ashurst de- clared, is left wholly to q governor holding over from the Diaz regime and still independent either of Car ranza or Villa.
 While Senator Ashurst was speak ing in the senate, Representative El- ston, of California, Republican, intro- duced a resolution in the house re- questing President Wilson to open n, -otiations with Mexico, for the pur- , chase of Lower California peninsula and other Mexican land along the sin- ternational boundary "as shall by topography promote harmonious rela- tions by reducing to a minimum all international border difficulties"
 The resolution was referred to the house foreign affairs committee.
 Mexico City, Jan. 7.--The proposal made in the United States senate by Senator Ashurst, that the United States purchase Lower California and part of Sonora has created consider able comment in the Mexican press.
 El Universal, long leading pro- ally paper, in a leading editorial to- day, attacks the proposal. It asserts that Mexico places the promises of President Wilson that small nations will be protected ahead of the menace to Mexico implied in the Ashurst plan.
