a special train was sent from Juares
with the object of rescuing the im
periled Americans,
Carmanza troops were Also rushed
toward Parral, but they were met fnd
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.
Won't A.oort Aid.
Carranza officlals In Kl Paso and
Juarez to-day reiterated their asscr
tion that the troops of the “first
chief” would be able to deal with the
situation, and. refused to consider
{m)ponnl- that American troops cross
he border for temporary help in sub
duing the Villistap.
Despite their confident assertions,
however, reports reached the border
that Villa forces had won further suc
cesses in the viecinity of Torreon and
that a campaign for the recapture of
Chihuahua Clty, now a Carranza base,
had been opened by the revolutlonnryl
leader.
With Chihuahua in the hands of
Villa, the efforts to rescue the forelgn
ers now in Northern Mexico would be
completely checked. To assure the
escape of the menaced Americans the
control of the railway lines must be
held by Carranzistas. y
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 Sai
ta Ysabel massacre, reports that the
‘Mexican troops in Juarez were plan
‘nlnc an invasion of the United States,
‘and other wild rumors are keeping
'EI Paso on the alert. !
Thus far the United States soldiers
under command of General John J.
Pershing have prevented any gensral
outbreak of violence, though numer
ous Mexicans have suffered hére in
isolated attacks. 3
The additonal guard at the Interna
tional bridge leading into Juarez was
kept there to-day by General Persh
ing's orders. No Americans were
permitted to cross the structure.
Along the Rio Grande for a distance
of twenty miles the American patrols
were doubled last night. Their
strength will be increased to-night.
A cordon of United States infantry
men to-day separated the Mexican
and American sections of El Paso,
patrolling the street between them to
prevent any clash. The soldiers fired
three times at skulking flgures on the
Mexican side of the ‘‘dead line” dur
ing the 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
ficlals will place it on exhibition as a
warning to other Mexicans that the
lives of foreigners in Mexico must be
protected.
Genera! Rodriguez was not charged
specifically with the murder of the
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 accused of having encour
aged bandits and murderers.
Francisco Villa will meet the same
fate as that suffered by Rodriguez if
the revohitionary leader is captured
In their first feeling 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 escape to American
goil and Hve there undisturbed, but
they are now determined that he must
die.

1o be drawn into grave blunders, Vi
tiating the peace expedition The
chief blunder was the presence and
nfluence of foreigners in the Ameri
an expedition. No members of the
belligerents should have been con
nected with It This naturally alien
ated serious consideration
“U'nder the best circumstances the
rowd was 00 lArge—& small but rep
resentative American commission
coming with Mr. Ford might have
achieved something tangible There
was no sense in the haphazard WAy
“Then the blunder of criticising
President Wilson's national defense
policy made the American expedition
not only hopeless, but positively dan
gerous. 1 would have declined to have
received Mr. Ford or any member of
the expedition who signed the pledge
ypposing the American pational de
fense It is almost treason to preach
American defenselessness and en
deavoring to Chinafy America when
all the world is arming
“All know that national defense s
pot militariam. It is for peace not
war. like fire engines fighting & fire,
not starting a fire
“It Is deplorable that the Ford ex
pedition showed so little political wis
dom and love for America and peace
This ended jts usefulness.”

Deciding to maintain the Nationsd

all It unlis, and to foster its growth
but insisting that it can not be Repd
in its present efMcient condition with
an annual appropriation of 550004
from the Ntate the military advisor
board summoned by Adjutant Gene
Nash completed its duties Friday a
dajourned
The board, presided over by Brig:
adier General Walter A. Harris, w‘tn
General Nash as recorder, adop
the following recommendations
“Whereas, there now exists & de
fleit of $156.404 96 In the milltary
partment «f the State, which is m
due In any way 1o extravagance |
that department, as the depart
Bas blen very economically adminise
tered, but is attributable solely to thd
inadequate and insuMclent appruprie<
tions heret.fore made by the ‘l‘l
for the support and maintenance J
that department., and
Asks for $5,000.
“Whereas, after a carefyl examines
tion and close scrutiny of the expend
ditures of the department it Is ape
parent to this board that the mille
tary can not malintain its present
foree and eMclency on an annual ap
propriation of less than $50.000. And
Whoereas, the State In its appro=
priations to the military fund for the
year 1516, has only made -wlaba
outsids of riot duty, the sum
$30.000. Therefore
- This hoard recommends to the Gove
ernor that the General Assembly as
its coming session be requested to
aprropriate the sum of $15456.9¢
‘!n pay the deficit now existing, -u‘
(the further sum of $15,000 which wil
be absolutely necessary for the maine
\!on‘nc— of the military domnmonj
during the present year, over an
|above the appropriation of $30,0000,
and 35,000 which can be used only
for riot duty, made at the last session.
Recommendations of Board.
. “And thiz board further recoms
mends that in the future at leass
$60.000 be provided by appropria
tion each year for the support and
mainteaance of the military depari
ment of the State, as this board finds
after eliminating every possible ex
pense that is not essential to the
mantenance of the military, the sum
of SSOOOO is the least amount on
which the military department of the
State can be maintained.™

board were Major Milton J. Danilel,
