Censored Message Tells of Bandit Raid
WASHINGTON, June 23. Following today's Cabinet meeting
orders were sent to General Leonard Wood, commanding the Depart
ment of the East; General Thomas F. Barry, commanding the Cen
tral Department, and General J. Franklin Bell, commanding the.
Western Department, to send all National Guard under their juris
diction to the frontier "as soon as they are ready." The Guard will
go forward in units without waiting for completion of the individual
State mobilizations. It is understood here that General Wood and
General Barry have been urged to get the New York and Illinois)
Guard under way immediately if possible.
These orders mean that instead of the militia being held in mo
bilization camps in -the various Stales they will be rushed to the
border immediately upon being mustered into the service of the Fed
eral Government and will be whipped into shape in the field instead
of in camp.
Officials interpreted the orders to mean that the general situa
tion along the Mexican frontier was more critical than the Adminis
tration has cared to admit. It is understood here that only such
units as are below peace strength or are short of necessary equip
ment will be held in the mobilization camps in the various States.
At the Cabinet meeting reports from General Funston showing
the immediate necessity of strengthening his border guard at many
points were received. He appealed for cavalry and for experienced
infantry, artillery and signal corps units which'can be used at cer
tain points, thus relieving regulars for any .general offensive move
ment that may be planned. It was decided that the commanders of
the three departments within which the Guard is mobilizing should
be given a free hand to send the troops along Generals Wood, Barry
and Bell will be the judges of whether the troops are in shape to take
the field and will be expected to lose no time in starting them south.
Funston will designate" their stations.
Reports that orders were about to be issued to the entire Atlan
tic fleet to steam to Mexican waters were denied by Secretary
Daniels.
COLUMBUS, N. M.t June 23. Mexican bandits are reported to
have invaded the United States 50 miles west of here. The report
stated they were driving off horses from Parkers ranch in Playas,
Valley, southwest of Hachita, N. M. Loss of life or fighting was not
mentioned (Deletion by censor,).
SHAMOKIN, Pa., June 23. Sixteen carloads of ammunition
