TO GUARD COAST
Division of Yankee Destroyers
Are Ordered to Mexico.
Will Wait at Tampa to Answer
Calls for Aid.
CARRAHzA is SURROUNDED
Vera Cruz Railway Line Is
Severed by Rebels.
Resignation Demand by Army
Heads Cannot Be Verified.

Washington, May 5.-A division of
destroyers has been ordered to pro-
ceed to Key West, Fla, to be held in
readiness for possible instructions to
go to the east coast of Mexico, Secre-
tary Daniels announced today. The
destroyerS were scheduled to start this
morning.
The move is precautionary. it was
learned. and is being taken with the
idea that it may be necessary to use
the warcraft to protect Americans en-
dangered by revolutionary develop
ments.
The ships composing the squadron
are the sherwood, Case, Lardner, Put
nam. Beale, Reid, and the tender
Black Hawk.
Capt. B. A. Long of the Black
Hawk. who is senior officer of the
squadron, conferred last night with
Daniels and Admiral BulIard. chief OF
naval operations. He was told to pro-
ceed to Key West with all possible
speed and hold the ships in readiness
for further orders.
Mexicans Use Planes.
The impression given in other of
ficial circles today was that there was
no immediate prospects of the de-
stroyers being sent to Mexican waters
as reports indicated Americans along
the east coast were not in danger
now
A rumor that the Mexican federals
were using airplanes to bomb towns
held by the rebels, reached General
Alvarado's headquarters here today
1t was given out by Alvarado's spokes-
man. who said. however, that it was
generally discredited and was probably
false.
Cannot Verify Rumor.
State department officials today
sought to verify unofficial reports here
that Mexican federal generals have
given Carranza until May Is to step
out of office.
If these and other unofficial reports
prove true, Mexico soon will be in the
midst of even greater political confu-
sion than now. officials said.
Carranza and the federal govern
ment forces now are completely shut
off from communication with the out
side world except for one telegraph
lime thru Eagle Pass and Laredo, re-
ports here stated.
Carranza Cut Off.
General Pablo Gonzales, until re-
Gently one of Carranza's staunchest
supporters, has gone over to the revo-
lutionists, according to announcement
by representatives of the Obregon
movement. Gonzales, according to the
assertion, is in command of two regi-

from Mexico City and has severed the
railroad to Vera Cruz.
This road is the only outlet of the
Mexican capital to the sea on the east

MUST Be PEACE
Senator Knox Opens Debate in
Senate on Resolution.
HurIs Defiance at White House
Stubborn Stand. =

Washington, May 5.-Declaring that
President Wilson preferred to keep
the country in an alleged state of war
rather than abate one jot or little OF
the full measure his isolated Will mas
set for the nation" Senator Knox,
Pennsylvania, today opened debate in
the senate on his peace resolution.
'fThe welfare and safety of the ma
ton imperatively demand that we
know we have peace, declared Knox
The whole world seethes with revo.
luton Our own nation is in ferment
and turmoil. Force and strife are
rampant and threaten the destruction
not only of our property but of our
free institutions and even of our very
lives. And yet we stand and have
stood for months as rudderless ship
foundering in the trough of tremen-
dous seas.
I'VE must not dare longer to delay
a return to the ordered government
of peace: We must not hazard FUR
ther postponement in turning our un-
divided deliberations to our home
problems They are great enough to
tax the utmost wisdom we possess. AS
a preliminary step, the executive must
be returned to his peace time humors
and prerogative.
SAILS Wilson Stubborn.
Internationally, we are at peace,
our national executive with a stubborn
irresponsibility continues to declare
we are at war. But as a practical
matter. the only war which he wages
is against American citizens and
American industry. The situation is
so anomalous and so iniquitous, is SO
fraught with injustice and with pos
sibility of disaster that one cannot
reconcile it with the operations OF
sane craftsmanship.
at is not only legally unsound but
economically morally and patriotical-
ly necessary and Indispensable that we
at once repeal the declaration of war
and so Immediately end the despotic
war powers with which a power mad
dened administration continues to mis-
rule this great people"
Appeal to Supreme Court.
Knox indicated that the supreme
court will be asked to rule on power
of congress to declare peace by reso-
| luton.
Knox said he was sorry it was nee
essary for him to make observations
vert to certain conditions and situa-
tions, which it were infinitely pleas
anter to blink or ignore, for it is an
unwelcome task to judge one who has
fallen in the public estimate. But the
timehas come when we must speak
plainly.
81 entertain only sympathy for the
president in his illness and sympathy
| for the country which must suffer un-
der him because of it.
We must proceed now in the res
cue of the people from their present
unhappy state, leaving the weight OF
censure and responsibility for past err
rors and misadyentures to fall where
it may"

BANK WINDOW is BROKEN.
Man, With Cut on Hand, Seen Near
Merchants National.

A plate glass window in the front of
the Merchants National bank at Fifth
street and Kansas avenue, was broken
between 4 and 5 o'clock this morning.
There is a hole in the glass large
enough for a man to crawl thru.
Whether the window was broken pur-
posely with the design of robbery or
whether it happened accidentally, po-
lice were unable to determine. Moth
ing inside the bank appeared to be
molested.
Shortly after the time the window
was supposed to have been broken, a

peared to be in a hurry. and after
