MEXICAN CRISIS GIVES
LEADERS IN CONGRESS
PUZZLE OVER REVENUES
Face Expenditures of $150,000,
000 More Than the House
Bill Ready for Passage
Provides
CLASH ON BOND ISSUE
WASHINGTON, Juno 28. Congressional
leaders today sought to patch up their plans
for raising revenues, shattered by tho In
creased preparedness npproprlatlonsresult
Ing from the. Mexican crisis. Tho leaders
found themselves with a J210.000.000 reve
nue bill roady for passage by tho House,
and expenditures exceeding by moro than
JIBO.000,000 tho estimates on which the
revenuo measure was based.
Majority Leader Kltchln, of tho Houso,
and his colleagues ort the Ways and Means
Committee, had planned to pass the revenue
bill on a pencd basts nnd to rfllow tho Ad
ministration to tnko care of Mexican ex
penses by an Issue of war bonds. But
conferences between Representative Kltchln
and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo de
veloped extraordinary appropriations al
ready made. Including $100,000,000 added to
the naval appropriation bill In tho Senate,
S2B,000,000 added to the army bill ln the
House, and a $25,000,000 urgent deficiency
bill now before the Houso would necessitate
the raising of nt least $100,000,000 more
than tho Ways and Means Democrats had
provided for In the revenue bill.
Secretary McAdoo suggested that addi
tional taxes bo placed In tho revenuo
measuro to meet tho exigency, but tho con
gressional leaders oppose this plan. They
say that the $100,000,000 can bo obtained by
an Issue of Panama Canal bonds covering
the amount of money tho Democratic
Administration has paid for canal expenses
out of current revenues. These bonds are
already authorized and awaiting Issue. The
Houso Democrats also pointed out that
Increased Income tax returns and other
Increased revenue would leavo a genernl
fund balance of nearly $200,000,000 In the
Treasury at the end of the fiscal year. Half
of this, they said, could easily be used to
meet tho $100,000,000 additional expendi
tures. Secretary McAdoo showed. an Inclination
Ltp make an effort to finance the Mexican
dlmculty without a bona issue, oy raising
taxes, but the House Democrats are strongly
opposed to this plan.

CSNSOHSHIP SHROUDS WAR MOVES
ON BORDER; ARMED CLASH EXPECTED
"Folks Back Home" Who Look for News of Guardsmen
May Be Disappointed Army Officers on Watch for
Spies of Mexican Government
EIj PASO, June 28. Censorship. began to
close In on the preparations for the planned
expedition In Mexico by United States
forces, by way of Juarez, and detailed ac
counts of troop movements were shielded
today with military secrecy. At the same
time It became known that the olllclals of
the American army here, the centro of tho
pulsing sltuntlon. had already named the
censorship staff that will delete tho reports
of the correspondents on tho border. The
Western Union Telegraph Company, an
nounced that communication with Mexico
by way of Nognles had been suspended
until further notice.
At Columbus, N. M., there are today five
censors' where one was sufficient to pass nil
reports. Tho tightening of Information
sources was taken ns,a certain Indication
that speedy action (s contemplated.
It Is known that military activities nro
always preceded by nn application of cen
sorship nnd today's restrictions promised
an enrly movement of troops. Army ofllcers
hero nre certain that It will be their task
to fight their way to Chihuahua City and
secure tho release cf the American troopers
there, and they are eager for the task.
telltr BROINSTO TIOHTKN.
The rigors of censorship will bo especially
hard on the "folks back home" who will
be nnxlous tohenr news of tho experiences
of tho guardsmen, tt Is upon mllltta move
ments that tho grip of censorship first began
to close.
Information regarding disposition of these
bodies was refused, although It la known
that all plans for the placing of tho various
guardsmen organisations hnd been made.
It was expected that Roon tho first regi
ments from tho Kast would be brought to
their posts In tho Kl Paso district nnd nt
other points along the border.
It la no secret that the Mexican dc facto
Government has In operation a splendid
system of espionage. Tho danger of spies
may bo moro cnslly comprehended when It
Is said that fully half of Kl Pobo's popula
tion la made up of Mexicans, nnd In tho
other border towns tho proportion Is oven
moro overwhelming.
WIRELESS O! MEXICAN SIDE.
Somewhcro along tho border points, army
officers nre certain, thero Is a Mexlcnn wire
less In constant communication with tho
Mexican side. In fact', Government oper
ators havo "listened In" on messages sent
from noma mysterious station ln which mili
tary locations were revealed and revealed
accurately.
If tho American army has lookout sta
tions on the tops of big buildings and tho
high mountain places behind El Paso, the
Mexican Government Is no less represented.
While the Americans are surveying Juarez,
the Mexicans are surveying the American
operations and tho various camps about the
city.
Thus tho nows of tho march of the Amer
ican command last .week, when It was or
dered out for ti practice march, was flashed
to Mexico almost as soon as the move
started. Dy the time tho troopers had
assembled nnd received the order to march
,tne news was nlready In Juarez and the
Juarez machine-gun sqund nnd the civil
guard were rushed to tho International
bridge approaches.
EAGER TO FIGHT "GRINGOES"
Every hour's delay ln the order to move
on Juarez Is giving the Mexicans an op
portunity to strengthen their forces. From
Mexico City today came reports that 10,000
young Mexlcnna had asked Carranza to
glvo them nrms to fight ngalnst the hated
"grlngoes." Refugees from tho Interior
bring stories that 60,000 Mexicans, n great
proportion of them well-equipped cavalry,
nre concentrated nt Villa Ahumadii to ro
slst the American ndvancc.
Genernl Trevlno, In Chihuahua City, rep
resented to the War Minister Obregon that
General Pershing was retreating nnd that
tho Carranzlstna havo occupied the former
American camps at Uachlmba nnd San
Geronlmo.
TREVINO'S THREAT.
"If Pershing attempts to re-enter these
enmps we will do what wo did at Carrlzal,"
Trovlno said, "Tho American forco In Its
new movement went north as our Flrat
Chief ordered."
Thus tho Mexican official reports proparo
tho news of troop movement for tho favor
nble consumption of tho people.
In Chihuahua City Inspired pamphleteers
nro dropping for tho time their work of
nntl-Atncrlcnn ngltatlon to write long,
Imaginative nccounts of events on this side
of the Rio Grande. Theso reports aro pub
lished on Carranztsta presses nnd spread
broadcast.
"HOME CONSUMPTION" REPORTS.
Ono of them declares that President
Wilson r.nd his Cabinet havo nbandoncd
Washington, nnd, guarded by a small dc
tnchment of soldiers nnd policemen, nro
fleeing for Cnnnda. Another says that the
Juarez commander Informed General Bell
nt Fort Ullss that unless the American
batteries wero" removed from El Paso thc
Moxlcnns would shell tho city. The
pamphlet goes on to relate how General
Bell nt first refused to comply with this
command, nnd how he quickly chnnged his
mind when tho first well-directed shell of
tho Mexican guns dropped on tho roof of
tho Paso Del Norte Hotel.
St. Louis, Chicago and Detroit, tho
pamphlets declare, will fall beforo tho Mexi
can guns two days after a declaration of
war.
It Is known that a regiment of former
Vllllstas has been orgnnlzcd In Chihuahua.
Threo Villa generals have been recruiting
In that town for a fortnight. Chihuahua
Is known ns a Vllllstn headquarters nnd tho
Cnrranzlstn commanders' principal task ln
that town was keeping tho Vllllstan In sub
jection. Now tho Vllllstas nro ready to tako
arms under Carranzn, spurred to action by
tho report that "Pancho" Villa himself will
come out of hiding to lead them.
BILL TO DRAFT GUARD
FOR MEXICAN SERVICE
FAVORED BY PRESIDENT
May Urge Leaders of Senate and
House to Get Together
for Quick
Action
TRIES TO END DEADLOCK
WASHINGTON, Juno 28. The Presi
dent's power to call National Guardsmen
Into Mexican servlco, paralyzed for tho
tlmo by tho Congressional deadlock, Mr.
Wilson wan expected; to request leaders of
both houses to get together and adopt a
draft resolution,
While tho two houses nre fighting over
whether to pay the dependents of family
men who must leave for tho front or to- ex
empt such merl from service, army ofllcers In
chargo of tho Mexican situation are unablo
to make plans.
Meantime, Chairman liny, of tho House,
and Chamberlain, of the Senate Military
Committees, each was endeavoring to get
presidential support for his sldo'of tho con
troversy. They wero to bo Instructed by
their various branches today how to pro
ceed further, their Inability to agree belnr
formally submitted to both branches.
Leaders have virtually agreed that if war
with Mexico results. Congress will remain
In session, despite the anxiety of members
up for re-election to get homo to their
campaigns. Chairman Simmons, of the
Senate Finance Committee, believes "his
necessary so that troop movements ay
be authorized, volunteer acts passed and
appropriations made as called for.
The latter phase appeared of Increasing
Importance today, duo to President Wil
son's deslro to pay for tho war out of cur
rent funds. Congressional leaders had
favored a bond tssuo of $50,000,000, which,
onco Issued and sold, was thought to be
sufficient to pay nil hills until at least
Congress reconvenes next fall.
Guards Doubled at Texas Capital
AUSTIN, Tex., Juno 28. Guards have
been doubled nt the Stato Capitol buildings
because of tho Mexican situation, It was
announced today. Orders wero Issued to
search all suspicious Mexicans entering the
