WASHtrtCJTON, May 8. Demands thai

Guard for service alonir tlio bonier and
for a much Increased force of troops to
cope with the Mexican situation poured
In On the White House today.
The latest outraRO at (lion Sprlnjcs and
Boqulllas. Tex., plainly has caused as
much Indignation thr6ugtiout the country
an did that at Columbus, N. M. Texas
Senators and Hopresentallves today, were
demanding action that will glvo the cntlro
border an ndequato guard.
The latest raid has ndded to the tension
between this country and tho do facto
Government In Mexico. It showed con
clusively that the claims made by the
Carranslstas that they had control of
the entire country with tho exception of
the small section where Villa wns possibly
to be operating In porson absolutely weTe
without foundation.
It completely refuted the arguments
made 'by Ambassador Designate Arre
dondo that another Columbus raid was
an utter Impossibility. Officials declared
that tho expedition now on tho way to
the sceno of tho latest outrago would pur
buo tho bandits no matter where they
might try to flee.
, SUSPECT CAItUANZtSTAS.
Although tho officials of tho do facto
Government Insisted that this latest raid
waj entirely tho work of Vllllstas, thero
are many army men here who do not tako
this view of tho matter. Tho Carranzlsta
forces who havo been operating In Mexico
across from tho nig llend country nro noto
riously antl-Amerlcan. It was In this section
that earlier outrages took place, which
caused thd massing of tho troops at
Brownsville. At tho War Department It
was 'stated today that General Funston
already had reported a forco of 3B0 troops
In purnult of the bandits, nnd others
would be sent to the scene as soon as pos
sible. ,
Officials were fearful of another out
rago In Texas. It was pointed out at tho
War Department that there wore a dozen
points along tho border where conditions
parallel those at Olcn Springs, and with
the small forces at his disposal It was
almost hn Impossibility for General Funs
ton to align his "troops so as to provide
the adtquato guard that Is needed. Be
cause of this army odicers wero urging
today that tho coast artillery available
be organized as Infantry and sent to tho
border along with tho selected units of tho
National Guard, already tentatively
chosen for sorvlce when, tho President de
cides that their services are needed.
Thero was no concenling tho fact that
this latest raid on American soil will have
tho effect of keeping the American forces
in Mexico Indefinitely. If the now expedi
tion which has been sent in pursuit of the
Glen Springs bandits crosses the line It
Will be possible for them materially to
shorten Genoral Pershing's lines of com
munication. Administration lenders In Congress met
early to plan means of checking the out
bursts of Interventionists which they felt
sure would follow the Texas outrages.
Chairmen Stone and Flood, of the Sen
ate and Houso Foreign Affairs Commit-
tees, prepared for tho fight of their lives
to keop full control of tho situation In the
hands of the Administration.
FALL, MAY GKT BUST.
What they feared particularly was that
Senator Fall, of New Mexico, would push
his measure for the Immediate enlistment
" of 500,000 volunteers for Mexican service.
For boveral weeks ho has been preparing
data intended to show that much of tho
Mexican bonier Is guarded by patrols so
small as to have no real power of resist
ance. This preparation has been prelim
inary to an argument for the mobilization
of a large force along tho border. Fall
has delayed making tho proposal until
soma expected event, such as last night's,
might give him an advantageous time
for pushing it.
Another possibility was that tho dec
laration of war which' Republican Leader
Galllnger has had drafted for months
might be pushed forward. Senators Sher
man, Borah, Smith (Michigan), Ashurst
and Smith (.rlzona) and others were ex
pected to speak.
Continued from Tore One
nnd a motor supply train. Colonel Fred
erick W Sibley, now at Fort Clark, Is to
command the expedition.
The detachment .Tom Fort Bliss left
last night by special train for Marathon,
the nearest point by rail to the scene of
tho raid, fend may bo woll down In the Big
Bend country, tho raided zone, today. As
It Is, however, an SB-mlle march from
Marathon to Glen Springs, the Fort Clark
contingent may be on tho spot beforo
them,
Tho now expedition has been ofllclally
ordered by Oensrnl Funston, who says It
"will not stop at the border."

, There Is a general feeling In Admlnls-
' .tratlon circles that peace without another
winter campaign lt possible, even probable,
but the first move Is a matter of months
rather than weeks. There Is hope that
peace suggestions may take a definite form
. before snow tiles. But this depends upon
' two things, success of the Allied offensive
or Germany's backdown from her present
terms.
According to the best information of the
Administration, the long talkrd-nf great
offensive by the Allies is by no means cer-
tain to develop. The apparrnt (.mure t
, the German offensive at Verdun and the
; terrible losses have been as great an object
lesson to the Allies as to the Germans. It
i s admitted that the German defense Is
quite as formidable as that of the Allies.
t The Champagne battle demonstrated that,

the Allies are at the present time giving
serious consideration to the relative costs
, and values of a general offensive and a
continuation of the virtual siege of the
German Empire,

ATTACK AT NIGHT.
Tho raid broko nt 10 o'clock Friday
night on tho llttlo wax settlement. The
raiders avoided tho border patrol by a
wido detour, forded tho Illo Grando and
crossed tho Intervening sandy stretch at
night.

A few Mexican families composed the re

Bctrcatlng to nn adobe hut after firing

cans barricaded tho doori and began a
flour-hour fire against tremendous odds.
In tho end they wero routed by fire

had any ammunition loft, hurled lire balls
on tho thatched roof. Threo men fell ns

carrying their captives, Decmer and
Compton, and leading pack horses loaded
with loot.
No hope was held out for Deemer and
Compton today. Knowing the diameter
of tho Mexican raiders through frequent
border clashes, residents of the surround
ing country were prepared to hear the
worst regaidlng the fate of tho two fron
tiersmen. Compton's son, a mute, was
slain in the first few minutes of the raid,
supposedly because tho Mexicans thought
uiu cnuu was concealing inrurimmun.
The Mexicans appeared suddenl) on tho
top of a hilt beneath which Glen Springs
nestles. Noting their numbers. Private
BIrck, on outpost duty, emptied Ills re
volver to rouse tho camp and then dashed
back to the tent. Sergeant hinyth nnd
Private Croske-, ;imiptd to the Ily of the
tent. Obbervics; numbers of Mexican at
hand, they rar. to an adobe hut. where
tho six other cavulrymen were preparing
to make their defense.
OUTNUMBERED 10 TO 1.
Tho door of the house, which had only
one window, was barred, and Sergeant
Smyth, seeing that his men were out
numbered by'.0 to 1, gave orders to shoot
carofully and not waste the ammunition.
"Wo nre up against It cold," said
Smyth, "but wo will show them some
thing. Let the Mexicans shoot their heads
off and run out of ammunition and maybe
by morning wo will be In a position to
give them u run."
On the dash from their tents Smyth
and Cro3ken had lost their revolvers,
having been forced to retreat to tho adobe
house half clothed because of the rapid
approach of the Mexicans.
Tho bandits poured a constant fusillade
of shots at the window nnd door of the
ndobo house. Not an American cavalry
man fell In the exchanges.
The little band took turns shooting from
the window. Blood stains In tho dry
ground around the houso was the only
evidence that the bandits suffered in tho
nttnek, but Sergeant Smyth believes that
seven or eight bandits were killed nnd
some wero wounded.
WAITED FOB DAWN.
For three tong hours the fight went on.
"Just a little while more, boys, and day
light will be with us." urged Smyth, who
knew tho bundlts would retreat once they
became good targets in the light of dawn.
The Mexicans fought in skirmish for
mations. That was proof to Smyth's eyes
that he wus dealing with a military body.
The attackers' horses were tethered some
distance to the rear and the brigands
maintained their attack on three sides of
the house, from which there was no escape
except the door and tho single window.
1'nable to rout the Americans from
their mud-walled fort, the leader of the
Mexican band gave orders to throw fire
balls on the roof, which was thatched
partly with tin and partly with candalarla
weed. Flaring torches made of torn
cloth and weeds were dropped upon the
roof, which started to burn. Thero was
no water In the house to check the flames,
nnd tho heat In the house became Intense
and the faces and backs of the soldiers,
still firing spiritedly through the window,
became blistered nnd burnt.
"I can't stand It any longer," cried Pri
vate William Cohen. "I'll take another
shot and then try to make It through the
window."
Cohen leaped Into the window frame to
make his dash for the open. A bullet
split his skull and he fell back dead Into
the house, Outside the voice of a Mexican
was heard to say:
"Line up on each side of the door. They
must come- out."
Smyth told his men that the time had
come to make a dash. The heat had
burned the tops of their heads. Private
Stephen J. Colock stepped forward to tho
door and smashed the boards with his gun
