ORDERS TO U. S. TROOPS
Garry Out Terms of Presidents
Proclamation.

Washington, July 14.-Orders to
federal troops at strategic points to
hold themselves in readiness for duty
in carrying out the terms Of Presi-
dent Harding's proclamation in the
rail strike crisis went forward from
Washington to the corps areas COM
manders.
The use of troops-if needed-is
regarded as the next step after the
presidential proclamation that United
States mails shall not be interfered
with and interstate commerce shall
be unhampered.
Officials said no special instruc-
lions" had been sent to the corRs
commanders, but that they would be
expected to report promptly to Wash
ington any untoward incidents.
1t is understood corps commanders
will not undertake any movement in
volving troops without specific au-
thorization from Washington.
President Harding's proclamation
was heartily Endorsed in the senate.

U. S. MAY DRAFT RAIL MEN
President Harding Ready for Drastic
Action-CaIIs Tieup National
Emergency.

Washington, July 17.-The govern
ment has the power to protect the
American people in any danger that
may arise, with or without the ex-
pressed sanction of congress, and the
administration is fully determined
that every means at its disposal will
be devoted to this protection, it was
stated officially at the White House as
representing President Harding's opin-
ion in the present industrial crisis.
Industrial CONSUMPTION may be re-
sorted to by the government, in the
event the rail and coal strikes inter
fere with the country's business.
This developed at a conference be-
tween President Harding and news
paper men. 1t is the view Of the Pres
ident, he said, that the federal gov
eminent has the right to draft its
citizens into public service any time
the interest and the welfare Of it's
citizens are jeopardized from any
source, whether foreign or do
nestle.
However, it is the plan of Presi-
dent Harding to invoke every other
means for a peaceable settlement of
the twin tieup before resorting to con-
scription of citizens to take the places
of the strikers.

President MiIlerand and Premier

self to await the arrival OF the presl-
dent and premier. He was armed with
a revolver. While M. Millerand ana
M. Poincare escaped, one Of the bullets
struck and wounded a woman.
The prisoner was very nervous
when arrested and the police attrib-
uted the escape of the two officials to
his anxiety and the fact that the mo-
torcars in which the president and
premier were riding were travelling at
a rapid gait.
Immediately after his arrest the an
archist was taken to the Paris police
prefecture and submitted to long
examination to ascertain whether Or
not others were involved in the MUIR
der plot.
Both M. Millerand and M. Poincare
took the situation coolly. They said
they realized that attack upon life
was one of the penalties for public ac-
tivities in the present state of unrest.
