BORDER CALLS FOR
MORE PROTECTION
Local Authorities Say Situa
tion Is Menacing and Ask
for State Troops.
FEDERAL OFFICERS CALM
Kffo-t of Alarmist Reports on Mex
ican Keeling Is Feared and Es
tablishment of Rigid Cen
sorship Is Favored. I
ETj PASO, Tex., March 24. Evidence
ef the (seriousness with which the local
authorities are regarding the border
situation was supplied tonight in an an
nouncement by Sheriff Edwards that he
had telegraphed Governor Ferguson
that he believed the State Militia
should be sent to the frontier.
Sheriff Edwards said that he did not
wish to be considered an alarmist, but
that developments in Mexico convinced
him that additional protection was
needed for Americans along the border.
He refused to give the wording of his
telegram or say how many additional
troops ha thought necessary.
The action of Sheriff Edwards, fol
lowing the Arizona authorities in di
recting that the border companies of
militia of that state be recruited to
full war strength gave renewed force
to the tension which earlier in the day
had shown signs of relaxing.
Alarming Reports Deprecated.
There is a sharp difference in the
point of view between Federal and
local authorities here. The former in
sist that while the situation is filled
with dangerous possibilities, there is
no reason to fear any immediate crisis.
The local authorities, on the other
hand, are equally positive that there
is grave danger of an outbreak which
will set the entire border in a blaze.
The Federal officials are showing
increasing irritation at the alarming
reports which are being circulated here
night and day and which are being
fent out to the rest of the country in
news dispatches. They are fearful of
the effect that these reports will have
on the Mexicans, who have shown
many signs in the last few days of in
creasing restlessness.
Consul Protests Vigorously.
Consul Thomas D. Edwards at Juarez
and several other Americans resident
in the Mexican town sent a telegram
to the State Department today -vigorously
protesting against the circulation
of these reports and asking that some
fteps be taken to stop them. It is
understood that similar messages have
been sent to Washington from other
Federal officers, with a. direct recom
mendation that a censorship be estab
lished here.
No news of the reported fighting be
tween the Carranza and Villistas near
Namiquipa or on the report from Mexi
can sources that the bandit chief and
his followers were surrounded five
miles south of Namiquipa by Americans
and Mexican troops, was received here
today.
According to the Mexican Consul
here, Andres Garcia, the Mexican wires
have been cut between Casas Grandes
and Madera. The same reason was
given by Consul Garcia for the dearth
of news following the first battle re
ported near Namiquipa some days ago.
Herrera's Status Doubtful.
The status of General Luis Her
rera was considered here as doubtful
today as it has been since the first
report reached here of his revolt.
Americans arriving here from the in
terior today ga-e fresh color to this
belief by circumstantial stories of Her
rera's defection and asserted that he
was today between Chihuahua and Par
ral, marching toward Torreon with at
least 2000 troops.
Seven privates, suffering from
various ailments, reached here today
from the front and were taken to Fort
Bliss. The most seriously ill was
Private Robertson, of the Sixth In
fantry, who was stricken with paraly
sis on the march. All told stories
of the privations suffered by the
American troops in their dash across
the Chihuahua desert. They complained
especially of raging thirst and also
of the distress caused by the chilly
Bights which followed burning days.
Numbers of the soldiers, they said,
Were in agony from swollen feet, in
tensified by the sand which sifted into
their shoes and cut the skin. Private
Dobell. of the Sixth Infantry, one of
the seven, had been unable to wear
shoes for some 3ays on account of the
enormous size to which his blistered
feet have swollen.

VANCOUVER. Wash.. March 24.
(Special.) While the trumpeters of the
Third Battalion of the Twenty-first In
fantry were pounding their bugles.
calling the soldiers to leave for the
Mexican border, Dan Cupid, ever with
the Army of the United States, issued a
summons, and Lieutenant Charles C.

star college football player, and Mar
garet du Bois Waring, a. society favor-
te or Vancouver, the post and Port
land, obeyed.
They secured the first m-arriatre li
cense when the Auditor's office was
opened and hastened to 902 Washington
street, the home of the bride, where
Rev. Thomas May, First Congregational
pastor, united them in marriage.
There was not even a wedding break
fast. The Lieutenant rushed to his
quarters in the post and proceeded to
pack up. and by 10:30 o'clock the newly
married couple appeared at the train,
where friends showered them with
enough rice to plant a rice field.
The news spread rapidly on account
of the popularity of the principals of the
romance, which began about eiKht
months ago when Lieutenant Benedict
arrived here with the troops, having
omed the company on duty at the San
Francisco Exposition while there.
The bridegroom was so excited at the
train that he introduced his. bride as
-Mrs. waring much to the enjoyment
of the crowd. When the officers had
kissed the bride goodby, some of the
more daring of the officers' wives
kissed the newly made benedict faro-
well. His wife accompanied him to
Portland and returned to her home this
afternoon. She will remain here until
the troops are settled.
CAPTAIN DAVIS

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washi
ngton, March 24. The record of yes
terday's proceedings in the House of
Representatives shows that the An
thony amendment, authorizing the Sec
retary of War to call into active serv-
ce any Army officers on the retired
ist who have recovered from their
disabilities, was adopted and not re-
ected, as appeared at the time. If this
provision is retained in the bill by the
Senate. Captain K. G. Davis may have
to abandon his gubnernatorial cam
paign in Idaho and go back to the
Army. Captain Davis recently an
nounced his intention to campaign
over all of Idaho on a motorcycle. If
he is able to undertake that task he
might come within the scope of the
amendment.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
March 24. (Special.) That there is a
possibility of the Men's Glee Club of
the university making a tour of Hono
lulu during the Spring vacation the
first of April was the substance of an
announcement made by Leslie Tooze,
manager of the club, today.
The proposed trip to the Coos Bay

of the Sierra Madres, end persons here
familiar with climatic conditions in the
egion assert that as the Americans
progress farther into the mountains in
their search for Villa more severe
weather may be expected. The sleet
torms, followed by high winds, caused
lmost impenetrable dust clouds, and
emporarily caused the suspension of
Army aviation. It is known that Lieutenant-Colonel
E. B. Frick, irk charge
of the cantonment hospital here, and
medical officers in the field are making
every effort to care for pneumonia
cases should they develop.
MILITIA NOT TO BE CALLED
President and Cabinet Decide Meas
ure Is 'Unnecessary.
WASHINGTON, March 24. President
Wilson and the Cabinet decided today.
after weighing the news from Mexico,
and the border, that it wofJld not be ne
cessary to call out the National Guard.
No confirmation reached the V ar
Department today of advices to Gener
al Calles, Carranza governor of faon
ora, that Villa was surrounded by col
umns of Mexican and American troops
near Namiquipa.
It was noted at the War Department,
however, that General Funston placed
some credence in unofficial reports
that General Pershing's troops already
had met and engaged the bandits. Since
the American border commander is in
position to know the exact whereabouts
of the American columns pursuing the
bandits, his opinions in this connec
tion have great weight.
The report that General Herrera and
his garrison in Chihuahua had revolt
ed, -was positively denied by American
Consul Letcher, at Chihuahua City.
Reassuring messages came today also
from many points Just beyond the bor
der, saying -there . was no indication
that Carranza- troops were being
massed near the American line. The
situation at Tampico was reported
quiet in messages from the gunboat
Machias. and a later dispatch an-
nounced the arrival of the battleship
Kentucky there.
ARTILLERYMAN IS MISSING
Border Authorities Asked to Aid in
Search for Veteran.
DOUGLAS. Ariz., March 24. Officers
of the Sixth United States Artillery
appealed today to the civil authorities
of towns along the border to aid them
In searching for John Arnold, quartermaster-sergeant,
one of the best-known
artillerymen along the Mexican boun
dary. Sergeant Arnold disappeared
Sunday and no trace or him has been
found.
Sergeant Arnold is 53 years old and
on April 1 would have completed his
30 years of service in the Army. His
retirement papers already have been
sent to Washington with the approval
of his ranking officers.
Friends and fellow officers of the
missing man said tonight they feared
Sergeant Arnold either had wandered
away while mentally affected or had
met with foul play. Unless found with
in 10 days from the time he left camp
last Sunday he will be dropped from
the Army ranks as a deserter.
WILSON DEPLORES FOSS
IVFUEXCES DECLARED AT WORK
TO BRING O.-V MEXICAN M AR.
Administration Will Issue Forma
Statement Legal Steps to Stop
False N'ctts Contemplated.
WASHINGTON. March 24. What are
regarded as evidences of activity of
powerful Influences to force interven
tion in Mexico through the spreading
of alarmist reports were discussed at
today's Cabinet meeting and resulted
in the preparation of a formal state
ment on the subject by Secretary Lan
sing, which probably will be made pub
He tomorrow.
Administration officials believe that
a definite effort is being made to bring
about war between the United States
and Mexico. One Cabinet member ex
pressed the opinion, following today's
meeting, that the attempts to force In
tervention were backed by interests
owning property in Northern Mexico.
Well defined steps were being taken,
he said, to stir up public opinion in
Mexico and the United States to a
point where a general clash between
the two nations would be inevitable.
Several warnings against spreading
alarmist reports have been issued by
Administration officials already and it
was tonight said that President Wilson,
deeply resentful over the situation, was
determined that the agitation be
brought to an end.
Legal steps to stop the spreading of
false news are understood to be under
consideration, but officials have not
decided yet what can bo done. One
step suggested was the use of a law
against the publication of reports cal
culated to incite to "arson and riot."
It was also understood that the Ad
ministration had under consideration
tightening . the censorship on Mexican
news and warning Army officers along
the border against giving out reports
unless fully verified.
PEARY URGES RIG NAVY
BATTLE CRUISER FLEET FOR PA
CIFIC IS ADVOCATED.
America Has Opportunity to Equal
British on Sea in Three Tears,
Declares Rear-Admiral.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 24. Rear-Admiral Rob
ert E. Peary In an authorized interview
today advocates a naval force on the
Pacific CoaBt as strong as that main
tained on the Atlantic. Admiral Peary
said:
"The Immediate construction of a
fleet of 16 of the largest, most power
ful battle cruisers the world has ever
seen, eight for the Pacific and eight for
the Atlantic, would accomplish this ob
ject. With each battle cruiser should
be four torpedo-boat destroyers and a
full complement of aeroplanes and sub
marines. These ships should have a
speed of 85 knots, which is five knots
more than the crack battle cruisers of
the British navy. Equipped with 16
inch guns, they would be the most
powerful engines of war afloat on all
the seven seas.
"To build this superb addition to the
Navy would only cost $500,000,000,
which is less than Great Britain alone
is spending in a single month in the
present war. We have a master oppor
tunity to gain naval equality even with
Great Britain by throwing all our re
sources and our mechanical genius into
the immediate construction of battle
cruisers. It is up to us to grasp this
opportunity. With characteristic Amer
ican rapidity we could have the entire
new two-ocean Navy in commission
within three years."

It is presumed that the logging train
the preceding night had run over his
body.
POLE CHOSSED IS
BELIEF Ifl LONDON
Shackleton Party Marooned in
Antarctic Region for
Year to Come.
STEAMER BREAKS AWAY
Expedition Must Stay at Ross Sea
Another Year Before Rescue
Will Be Possible South Con
tinent Likely Crossed.
LONDON. March 24. Lieutenant Sir
Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic expedi
tion Is marooned at-the Ross Sea base,
according to dispatches from Sydney,
Australia, which says that the explor
er's steamer, Aurora, broke from her
moorings and drifted to sea, leaving the
party on land.
The consequence is that if Lieuten
ant Shackleton has got through and
crossed the Antarctic continent there
is no ship to meet him, and the whole
party will have to remain on the shore
of Boss Sea for another year.
Lady Shackleton has received no
news of the expedition except the press
bulletins announcing that the Aurora
had gone adrift. She was greatly dis
tressed, as this means she cannot re
ceive news from her husband for
another year, but she still had hopes
that some other ship might rescue the
party.
The party was to have embarked on
the Aurora to return to New Zealand.
The Shackleton base probably is be
tween 1500 and 2000 miles from New
Zealand.
If Lieutenant Shackleton has reached
this base he has crossed the Antarctic
region to a point which is perhaps 800
to 1000 miles beyond the South Pole.
The adventure of Lieutenant Sir
Ernest Shackleton. heading the British
trans-Antarctic expedition, had a three
fold purpose, to navigate Antarctic on
a meridian; to secure ror tne Jaritisn
flag the honor of being the first na
tional emblem thus to be taken from
sea to sea across this South Pole realm.
and to conduct scientific work.
Sir Ernest before his departure out
lined the purposes of his explorations.
He said that if the farmers and stock
breeders of Chile and Argentina could
obtain authentic information regard
ing the effect of dense polar ice on cli
matic conditions in those countries,
they could be more or less able to
regulate their water supply.
Another object of the expedition was
to determine, if possible, whether the
Andes chain of mountains linked up
with Graham's Land and other moun
tainous territory on the opposite side
of the South Pole. The party hoped to
investigate, too, a seam of coal, which,
lying within 300 miles of the pole, is
said to indicate tropical or semi
tropical climate there in the past.
SUGAR TAX CONSIDERED
SE.VATK COMMITTEE DISCUSSES
LEVY ON PRODUCTION.
Increase of Present Tariff In Addition
to Repeal of Free Clause Is
Another Possibility.
WASHINGTON, March 24. Serious
consideration was given by the Senate
Finance Committee today to a proposal
not only to repeal the free sugar clause
of the tariff, but to increase the pres
ent tariff by half a cent a pound and
levy a production tax of one cent a
pound on all sugar produced in the
United States, to raise emergency rev
enue. While the production tax has not
met with general favor, it is considered
probable that there may be some
amendment to the House repeal reso
lution, and several Senators say that
a temporary increase In the tariff is
not unlikely. A meeting of the full
committee called for tomorrow to act
on the matter was postponed today by
Chairman Simmons until Monday.
Meanwhile Democratic members will
hold further conferences. The major
ity, it is reported, is considering the
advisability of some other temporary
changes in tariff schedules in view
of depleted revenues.
Some Senators believe that whatever
tariff changes may be contemplated in
connection with revenue legislation to
meet preparedness expense should be
incorporated in the sugar repeal leg
islation so that the tariff need not be
brought up in Congress more than
once at this session. It is estimated
that with a half-cent increase the sugar
tariff would produce from $65,000,000
to 70. 000.000.

that makes this possible is the Resinol
which this soap contains and which
physicians have prescribed for over
twenty years, in Resinol Ointment,
in the care of skin and scalp troubles.

or an unwise use of cosmetics, Resinol Soap
should at first be aided by a little Resinol Oint
ment. Resinol Soap is sold by all druggists and
dealers in toilet goods.
