Wilson shortly beforo noon signed th,e
joint resolution, passed by tho House
nnd Senate, authorizing him to recruit tho
army up to Us full nuthorlzod strength.
It was tho last omclal net required to
rnako tho bill effective. Secretary of War
Jlaker signed tho paper last night. Ro
crultlnff ofEMS already havo begun tho
work of raikVtf tho additional men.
u Under forced draught tho legislative
machinery today began to grind out tho
AdmlnlstreVon preparedness program.
DevelopmtlWi 1n Mexico, nnd continued
'J'ropean explications, with -an Insistent
NfcnAnd from tho White House, brought
to an end tho long delay over army legls
latlon, and Congress began soma actual
"speeding up."
"GAG RULE" IN HOUSI3.
Tho House, under the spur of n special
"gag rum," began debate on tho Hay bill,
ntmroved bv President Wilson, nnd unani
mously recommended by tho Houso Mill'
tnry .Affairs Committee. Tho mcasuro pro
vides for a standing army of 140,000 men,
tho federalization of tho Nntlonnl Guard
ns a second line of land defense, and ad
ditional ottlcors fdr civilian, mllltla and
student Instructions..
The debate today developed that u group
of member? of tho Houso proposo to make
a fight to mcrcaso the commlttco's pro
vision of thd standing army. They want
from 200,000 to 300,000 men.
TO WORlC DAY AND NIGHT.
Under tho special rule, which Was
adopted without a dissenting voice, tho
House will work day nnd night on tho
Hay bill, and Administration leaders hope
to forco a voto on th'o mcasuro beforo
tho end of noxt week.
Chairman Ilay, of tho Military Affairs
Committee aroused considerable enthusi
asm whfln, jfle declared that "nil American
citizens should stand together on this ques
tion wlthqiiCregnrd to pnrty lines.
"This tatcaaure." ho' nld. "docs not iro

"Under tho volunteer system, nB main
tained In. this country, it would bo Im
possible to recruit an army of more than
140,000 men. And the people, qf this
country will "not support a proposal that
would forco compulsory military service
upon us."
SENATE BILL UP MONDAY.
It was definitely decided today to bring
up the Chamberlain army bill In tho Sen
ate Monday i. , Senator Chamberlain Intro
duced the .measure today, and Raid ho
would asked ,tb havo It considered then.
TJemocratlo leaders announced that they
would nee that the wntcr-powcr legislation
was sidetracked In favor of It
Senator Chamberlain said ho would
submit a report from tho Military Af
fairs Committee explaining tho bill Inter
In the day. Tho chief change Is n pro
vision to, utilize tho services of second,
third and Tourth-clasa postmasters to pro
euro recruits and to pay them ?5 for each
enlistment. Tho Senato bill provides an
. Increase in the standing army to 173,000.
Chairman Padgett, of the H6use Naval
Affairs. "CdmmWee, has 'reported to Presi
dent "Wilson that the" naw bill will bo

Because of the,' possibility of serious
trouble In .Mexico, much of tho opposi
tion to a big preparedness program has
disappeared.
Both Senate and Houso expect to put
through tho military measures within two
weeks. Both will then go to a conference
committee, where they will bo combined
In a compromlso measure.
A general discussion of preparedness
was precipitated In the Senate when Sen
ator Chamberlain submitted tho Military
Committee's recommendation of the bill
doubling tho number of cadets nt West
Point, and asked that It bo considered
Immediately. In response to an Inquiry
as to accommodations, ho said arrange
ments would bo made to put three In a
room and to mess them Into two shifts.
Under tho cadet bill two cadets would
bo appointed from each congressional dis
trict, two from each Territory, four from
the District of Columbia, two from natives
of Porto Itlco. four from each State at
large and CO from tho United States at
large. Tho bill also would authorize the
President to appoint cadets from the reg
ular army at the rate of one from each
regiment.
CABINET DEBATES RECRUITS.
Tho Cabinet was, also to consider
whether any additional forces on the bor
der should be sent to Join the advance ex
peditions. Whether Congress shall bo
asked for tmmemdlate emergency appro
priations to pay for the present expedition
and provide for the addition of 20,000 men
was also to be considered. It was Indi
cated that requests for money from Con
gress would be postponed until the extent
and probable length of tho Villa expedi
tion could be forecast
The rule under which the Hay bill was
brought up provides for 10 hours' debate,
the House having assented to a reduction
from 24 hours. Meeting at 11 o'clock, an
hour earlier than usual, the House
planned to debate until 5, recess till 8
and hold a three-hour night session. Thlf
will make it possible to conclude all de
, bate early tomorrow afternoon and begin
' consideration of the measure by sections.
Chairman Hay hod charge of the bill
on the floor and Mr. Kahn, of California,
senior Republican of the Military Commit
tee, represented, the minority. Partisan
lines were obscured, however, the Re
publicans having Joined with the Demo
crats In reporting the bill.
WANTS AltMY OP 250,000.
Mr, Gardner, of Massachusetts, and
other preparedness advocates, promised
to bend their efforts to Increase the reg
ular army over 140,000, and Mr. Gardner
-will offer amendments making the army
250,000 or more If possible.
Tho antl-preparcdness factions in the
House were offering vigorous opposition.
Mr. Dies, of Texas, was the antr leader,
with Mr- Bailey, of Pennsylvania, his chief
lieutenant
An effort to revive the continental army
plan of former Secretary of War Garrison
was forecast today. An amendment was
to bo offerred to give a record vote on
reincorporating' that plan.
The Hay bill has a naw reserve plan,
to build up, by special Inducements, a re
serve of men retiring- from the regular
army and also from the National Guard.
Another feature of the measure la federal
ization of the mllltla. It provides for a
uniform standardized control of mllltla by
the Federal Government, Increasing pay
from the Federal Treasury for the State
troops, and standard rules for training
an4 equipment of the guardsmen. It In
corporates the Hay "mllltla pay" system,
doubling Government expenditures from
I5.O0O.UOO to fO,9O9.000 annually,

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 17. If
Brigadier General Pershing's Hying col
umns In Mexico had to deal only with
Villa and his original forco With which
he terrorized tho border, his capturo or
extermination would bo a comparatively
easy matter, nccordlng to military men
at Fort Sam Houston.
Mnjor General Funston was npprc
hcnslvo today that Villa, becoming a hero
among the Mexicans of tho lower class
because of his murderous raid on Colum
bus, N. M., might be Joined by recruits
from all over Mexico.
It was even deemed posslblo that Car
ranzlsta troops, always ficklo in tho faco
of unsettled conditions such ns now pre
vail south of tho Rio arande, might do
sert the first chief and go over to Villa.
Thus far, General Funston reports. In a
statement Issued today, tho American ex
pedition has suffered no casualties.
"I noto that certain news dispatches
this morning stated that no Cnrraii7a sol
diers arc nperntlnir If'i Oonpii rvr

"On tho contrary, ubuut 10U logu... i..ir-

Soldiers fighting undor tho caglo and
the snnko havo switched from Diaz to
Madcro; from Madcro to Hucrta; from
Huerta to Carrnnzn, and It would sur
prlso no nrmy man to seo some of them
flock to Villa's standard, slnco tho brigand
has had tho daring actually to Invndo tho
territory of tho "gringo" to kill and burn.
Headquarters was without dcllnlto nows
of tho forces oer tho border early today.

General Funston had no word of any Im

"It hurts tho pride of Mexicans to think
that tho United States hns hecn lit to
Invndo our country," said Senor Pcsquelrn,
"but there will be no reslstanco except
from tho followers of Villa. I am sure
General Carranza will remain loyal to
President Wilson and will co-operate with

Idea that Villa Is regarded as a hero and
will gather fresh strength becauso of the"

That Francisco Villa has virtually dls

EL PASO, Tcx March 17.
Francisco Villa has with him in tho
field four former officers of the
German nrmy who help him plan
his battles, according to informa
tion given to the International
News Service today by an Ameri
can now in El Paso, but who for
merly served in tho Villista army.
Ho also stated that Villa wns
plentifully supplied with ammuni
tion nnd would bo able to hold out
in tho hills for years unless bc
trayed. "The four Germnns have been
with Villa for many months," snid
tho American, "They attend every
conference which Villa holds.
Through the he'p of their technical
training and Villa's ability as a
soldier, he will oc able to make a
stnnd for years 1 tho hills toward
which he is heading.
"I know that since tho last trou
ble broke out Villa's agents havo
sent enough ammunition to him to
fill 20 cars. He has this ammuni
tion and plenty of food hidden
away in the hills nnd is supplied
for a long, long time."

Tho punltlvo forco that set out from
Columbus was expected to bo llrst to

trickled through tho military censorship
today Indicated that this column had
been delayed nnd that tho second column,
led by Colonel Dodd, would win tho rnco
to tho Mormon colony. Whllo no olllclal
confirmation of reports that Colonel Slo
cum's forco from Columbus had had sev
eral engagements with small Mexican

Tho Columbus column Is understood to

Reports received hero differed ns to
whether General Pershing was with tho

Colonel Slocum to proceed southward ns
rapidly ns possible. In order that his
forces might rclnforco thoso of Colonel
Dodd If the latter camo In contact with

Bishop Hurst showed his anxiety over
tho Casas Grandes situation by appearing
at the olllco of United States Collector of
Customs S. L. Cobb early this morning
to seek information as to his people. Ho
was Informed that no nows had been re
ceived, but that he would bo notified Im
mediately If any came.
"Tho blow may come at any moment,"
said Bishop Hurst ns ho left tho collector's
olllce. "Tho American troops, I am told,
aro only a day's march away from Casas
Grandes, but as they draw nearer tho
danger of an attack on our peoplo in
creases. Villa may decide to strike quickly
and lun."
Carranza cavalry had been stationed to
guard tho principal passes over tho rugged

It was reported that thousands of Mcx

The 7th nnd ICth Cavalry, under Colo

These troops are reported to bo march

A staff of experienced custom makers embody in White Cars the same
