ualties. WASHINGTON, June 13. Secretary
of State Lansing today nnnounccd that
conditions in Mexico in some places
were worse, and in some places un
changed, as compared to the "danger
ous" situation of yesterday. At no
point has there been a change for the
better, the Secretary said. Communi

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., June 13.
Four companies of const artillery, en
route here from the East, will be
rushed to Eagle Pass, Tex., across from
Picdras Negras, which has become a
hotbed of anti-American activity, Gen
eral Funston announced today.
Eli PASO, Tex., Juno 13. Tho frrnve un
eunlness felt In Washlnston over the atitl
American feeling in Mexico and the ndmls
Blon of lack of co-operation by Carranzhtas
la reflected along tho border In prepara
tions belne made to rcatst an nttack on
American territory.
Advices from Consuls In towns along the
line of General Pershing's communications
nd from travelers coming from Mexico lire
to the effect that the de facto forces are
now moving toward the section occupied by
United States troop"), Indicating the possi
bility of an attack.
Apprehension also Is felt due to tho re
newed raids In the Laredo region. Army
officers here expressed conviction thnt Luis
De La Rosa, tho bandit, nnd obtained a
promise of support from Carranza In any
Bttnck he might mako upon Americans
Every effort Is being made by General
Funston so to police the border as to pre
vent success of any plan formulated by
Da la Rosa.
Word has been received, from Chihuahua
that a Villa cacho, containing twenty-live
million rounds of rlflo ammunition was dis
covered In a cave in northern Durango.
"If Villa was able to collect that many
cartridges under disadvantages, how much
more has the Carranza forces?" said an
army officer.
It Is generally believed the forces of
the de facto Government have large stores
of ammunition, as they received many very
large shipments before tho embargo was
established by the United States.

the domination of any ruling dynasty or of

tho averagb officer at a Western post cannot
have been very exciting, and I think with
admiration of thoso dull years through
which officers who had not a great deal to
do insisted, ncv crtlieless, upon being ef
ficient and worth while and keeping their
men fit at any rate for the duty to which
thoy were assigned.
"But In your case there are many extraor
dinary possibilities because, gentlemen, no
man can certainly tell you what the Imme
diate future Is going to be either In the
history of this country or In the history of
tho world. It Is not by accident the present
great war came In Hurope. Every element
was there and the contest had to come soon
er or later, and It Is not going to be by
nccldent thnt tho resuItB are worked out,
but by purposes; by the purpose of tho
men who nro strong enough to have guiding
minds and indomitable wills when the time
for decision nnd settlement comes. And
the part the United States Is to play has
thla distinction in it that It Is to be In
any event a disinterested part.
U. S. MUST EC PRKPAUED.
"There is nothing that the United States
wants that It has to get by war, but there
nre a great many things that the United
States has to do. It has so see thnt its
life Is not .Interfered with by nnybody else
who wants something.
"These nro days when we nre making
preparations, when tho thing most com
monly discussed around every Bort of
table, In every sort of circle, In tho shops
and In the streets, Is preparedness, and
undoubtedly, gentlemen, that 1h the present
Imperative duty of America, to be pre
pared. But we want to know what wo
are preparing for. I remember hearing
a wise man say onco that th old maxim
that everything comes to the man who
waits is all -very well, provided he knows
what he Is waiting for, and preparedness
might be a very hazardous thing If we
did not know what we wanted to da with
the force that we insan to accumulate and
to get Into fighting shape.
AMERICA KNOWS ITS NI.'ED.
"America fortunately does know what she
wants to do with her force. America came
Into existence for a particular reason. When
you look about upon tlieta beautiful hills

NO KKAll OV MILITA1USM.
"Wo nre not In for anything selfish, nnd we
want tho whoto might v power of America
thrown Into thnt scale nnd not Into any
other. You know thnt tho chief thing that If
holding mnny people buck from enthusiasm
for what is cnlled preparedness Is the fear of
militarism I want to say n word to you
young gentlemen ahout mllltnrlsm You
nro not a militarist, becnuso vou nre mill

"Militarism does not consist In the ex
istence of nn nrmy. not even In the exist
ence of a very great army. Militarism In
n spirit It is n point of view. It Is a sys
tem It Is a purpose The purpose of mili
tarism is In use armies for nggresslon Tho
spirit of mllltnrlsm H tho opposite of tho
civilian spirit the cltlren spirit. In n coun
try where militarism prevails the military
man looks down upon the civilian, regiirds
him as Inferior, thinks of him ns Intended
for his, the military man's, support nnd use,
nnd Just so long ns America Is America thnt
spirit and point of view Is lmposslblo with
us. There Is as ct In this country, so far
as I can discover, no tnlnt of the spirit of
militarism.
"There Is no danger of militarism If you
nre genulno Americans, nnd I for ono do
not doubt that you nre When you begin
to have the militaristic spirit, not .the mili

doubt whether you are Americans or not.

"Vou young gentlemen are not preferred
In promotion because of tho families you

Influential circles You do not como here
with a long tradition of military pride
back of you. You are picked out from the
citizens of the United Stntes, to bo thnt
part of the forco of tho United States
which makes Its policy safe against Inter

citizens who say to those who would Inter

But you are American citizens nnd the
Idea I want to leave with you boys today is
this:
"No matter what comes, alwayB remem
ber that first of all you aro citizens of the
United States beforo you are officers, and
that jou are officers because you represent
In your particular profession what the
citizenship of the United States stands for.
CIVIL FOWRR ABOVE MILITARY.
"You know that ono thing In which our
forefathers took pride was this, that the
civil power is suporlor to tho military
power In the United States. Onco and
again tho people of the United States havo
so admired some great military man as to
mako him President of the United States
when he became Commnnder-ln-Chlef of
all tho forces of the United States, but
he was Cqmmander-ln-Chlef because ho
was President, not because he had been
trained to nrms, nnd his authority was
civil, not mllitnry.
"I can teach you nothing of mllitnry
power, but I am Instructed by the Con
stitution to use you for constitutional nnd
patriotic purposes. And thnt Is tho only
use you care to be put to. That Is the only
use you ought to care to bo put to, because,
after all, what Is the use in being an Amer
ican If you do not know what It Is.
"You have read a great deal In the
books nbout the pride of the old Iloman
citizen, who always felt like drawing him
self to his full height when he said, 'I am
a Itoman,' but as compared with the pride
that must have risen to his heart, our
pride has a new distinction, not the distinc

empire, not the distinction of being masters
of the world, but the distinction of carry-

seeing that the kind of Justice prevnlls
anywhere thnt we bellovo In. So that you

NOT AI'ItAlD OF BI.USTEU.
"I nm an American, but I do not be

nationality, a nationality with a chip on
its shoulder, a. nationality with Its elbows

Millet, self-respecting, uncuimuernble spirit
which does not strike until It Is necessiry

Distinction in Tires
As Well As Cars
The graceful lines and beau
tiful finish of your car are a
source of pride to you. Com
plete its comeliness with Em
pire Red Tires.
Carmakers have demon
strated that service and beauty
can be combined. We didn't
choose Empire Red Rubber
for its beauty alone, but we
use it because red rubber,
cured our way, contains no
active chemicals found in
other rubber and which
rapidly disintegrate tires.
Empire Red Tires don't age
prematurely. Their bounce
and life are bottled up so that
only long, hard wear can
weaken their resistance to
the road and to blowouts.

ROJiea 5'0GQ-mile adjustment basis assures you of economical
service. Empire Red Tires have shown wonderful endurance on
heavy cars especially.
Imagine Empire Red Tires on your car. They harmonize per
fatly with the appointments of the better class of cars, and add
the final touch of smartness to any car.
