Congress Is to Get
All Facts on Mexico
(By International News Service.) ‘
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—-The Ad
ministration to-day promised “to take
the lid oft” the Mexican situation and
hereafter to keep Congress informed |
of the developments as rapidly nni
official information is received from
the turbulent republic. This was|
learned following a conference be
tween Secretary of State Lansing
and Senator Stone, of Missouri, the
chalrman of the Senate Foreign Re
jations Committee
“1 told the Secretary of State |
would like to be kept fully informed
of the developments in Mexico when
ever Information of an official nature
is received by the department” sald
Senator Stone. “The Secretary has
:v-lud to transamit such reports
me as soon as they are received.”
Senator Stone reiterated in em
phatic language his belief that Gen
eral Carransa should be permitted to
work out Mexico's salvation.
“It 1s silly to think Carranza could
restore complete order there in two
weeks.” Senator Stone sald. “I think
he should be given a decent chance
to make good.”
Senator Stone indicated that the
Administration is determined not to
change its attitude.
Senator Stone also urged upon Sec.
retary Lansing the necessity for im
mediately answering the Fall resoin
tion, requesting specific information
about Mexico. He saild that untll the
department complies with the Fall
resolution there Is mno possibility of
- confirming the President’s nomination
of Henry P. Fletcher as Ambassador
to the newly recognized de facto gov
ernment of Mexico.
Indications are that the President’s
answer to the Fall resolution will he
ready when the rorolg Relations
Committee meets next Wednesday to

The situation at Parral caused in
tense excitement here to-day, In that
Mexican town there are 125 Ameri
lnum As reports reached here that
General Villa and a large forces of
Mexicans were marching on the town
with the intention of destroying It
and Xilling all the foreigners there,
a special train was sent from Juares
with the object of rescuing the im
periled Americans,
Carranza troops were also rusned
toward Parral, but they were met and
defeated by the Villistas at Escalon.
This will endanger the rescue train,
as the Villa soldiers will be able to
attack it on its way to the border.
= T T
Won't Accept Aid.
Carranza officials in El Paso and
Juarez to-day reiterated their assor
tion that the troops of the “first
chief” would be able to deal with the
situation, and refused to consider
proposals that American troops cross
the border for temporary help in sub
duing the Villistas,
Despite their confident assertions,
however, reports reached the border
that Villa forces had won further suc
cesses in the vicinity of Torreon and
that a campaign for the recapture of
Chihuahua Clty, now a Carranga base,
had been opened by the revolutionary
leader.
With Chihuahua in the hands of
Villa, the efforts to rescue the foreign
ers now in Northern Mexico would be
completely checked. To assure tho
escape of the menaced Americans the
control of the rallway lines must be
held by Carranzistas.
Situation Is Critical.
In the meantime the situation on
the border remains critical. Issuance
of the anonymous proclamation call
ing Americans to arms to avenge
their countrymen who fell in the San
ta Ysabel massacre, reports that the
Mexican troops in Juarez were plan
ning an invasion of the United States,
and other wild rumors are Kkeeping
El Paso on the alert.
Thus far the United States soldiers
under command of General John J.
Pershing have prevented any genaral
outbreak of violence, though numer-l
ous Mexicans have suffered here in
isolated attacks.
The additonal guard at the Interna
tional bridge leading into Juarez was
kept there to-day by General Petuh-‘
ing's orders. No Americans were
permitted to cross the :truflure.‘
Along the Rio Grande for a distance
of twenty miles the American patrolsl
were doubled last night. Theair
strength will be increased to-night.
A cordon of United States infantry
men to-day separdted the Mexican
and American sections of ElI Paso,
patrolling the street between them to
prevent any clash, The soldlers fired
three times at skulking flgures on the
Mexican side of the “dead line” dur
ing th& night, but if anyone was
wounded he was carried away by his
companions before dawn.
Rodriguez’'s Body Expected.
The body of Genera! Joge Rodriguez,
who was executed late yesterday at
Madera, is expected to arrive at Jua
rez this afternoon. The Carranza of
ficials will place it on exhibition as a
warning to other Mexicans that the
lives of foreigners in Mexico must bel
protected. |
General Rodriguez was not charged
specifically with the murder of thol
Americans killed at Santa Ysabel, but
was tried as a traitor to the present
Mexican Government, found guilty
and immediately executed. In carry
ing out his treasonable projects, Rod
riguez was actused of having encour
aged bandits and murderers.
Francisco Villa will meet the same
fate as that suffered by Rodriguez if
the revolutionary leader is captured
In their first teelinf of triumph, due
to the fact that their cause had been
recognized by the United States, *he
Carranza leaders would have been
willing to let Villa gscape to American
soil and live tho:s undisturbed, hut

rignt principle Even If he came 10
Neriin dressed iike A& clown In grean

shouting ‘Peace!’ | would say he de
served praise
You can not tailk too much of

' be drawn inte grave biunders vi
ting the peace expedition The
chief blunder was lhe presence and
nfluence of foreigners in the Ameri
an: expeadition No members of the
be!'igerenis shouid have bean con
nected with it This naturally alien
ated serfous consideration
i'nder the best circumstances, the
rowd was 100 large—a small but rep
resentative American commisalion
coming with Mr. Ford might nave
achieved something tangibie There
was no sense in the haphazard way
Then the blunder of criticising
President Wilson's national defenss
policy made the American expedilion
not only hopeless, butl pos tively dan
serous. 1 would have declined to have
eceived Mr. Ford or any member of
the expedition who signed the viedge
opposing the American national de
fense. It is Almost treason o preach
American defenseiessness and en
deavoring to Chinafy America when
all the world is arming
All know that national defense o
pot militarism 1t is for peace, not
war like fire engines fighting & fire,
not starting a fire
1t is deplorable that the Ford ex
pedition showed so little political wis
dom and love for Amenrca and peace
This ended its usefulness™

from the State the military advisory
board summoned by Adjutant General
Nash completed its duties Friday and
dajourned
| The board, presided over by Ifls
adier General Walter A. Harris, wi
General Nash as recorder, adopted
‘lho following recommendations:
- “Whereas, there now exists & des
ficit of 31545606 in the military de
‘puvmm as the Biate, which s nos
}v!.‘o in any way to extravagance In
that depariment, as the department
has been very sconomically adminis

‘ inadequate and insufficient epvro‘m;
tions heretufore made by the

“Whereas, after a careful sxamine
tion and close scrutiny of the sxpens

| parent to this board that the mili
tary ean not maintain ita present
force and eMclency on an annual ap
propriation of less than $50,000. And
Whereas, the St.te In Ita appros
priations to the military fund for the
year 1516, has only made avallable,
outside of riot duty, the sum of

This board recommends to the Gov.
ernor that the General Assembly at
its coming session be requested ts
aprropriate the sum of 3215486.8¢,
to pay the deficit now existing, and
the further sum of $15,000 which will
be absolutely necessary for the maln

during the present year, over and
above the appropriation of $30,0000,
and 35,000 which can be used only
for riot duty, made at the last seasion.

“And this bdoard further recom
mends that In the future at least
250000 be provided by appropria
tion each year for the support and
mainteaance of the military depart

after ellminating every possible ex

of $50.000 i the least amount on
