Permission, Though on Com

I'unston Expected to Begin Forward

Concessions to Be Asked '
1 ly Diplomatic Channels.
WASHINGTON. March 29. One of
the Army's most serious problems in
hunting Villa was Folved today, -when
General Carranza granted the renewed
request of the State Department for
permission to use the Mexican North
western Railroad.
General Carranza received the re
quest this morning; his answer was in
"Washington tiefpre dark. It was con
tained in a brief message from .Tames
I Rodgers. special agent of the United
states at Queretaro. saying the head
of the de facto government agreed to
the "commercial" use of the line. Offi
cials here assumed he would be equally
prompt in notifying his officrs on the
border and that General Funston might
begin (shipments tomorrow.
rsotlationa Will Continue!
Although the Army will proceed to
ue the railroad on a commercial basis,
which is construed here as meaning
that all service shall be paid for at
regular rates, the State Department
will negotiate further with Carranza
to bring about a more complete under
standing as to just what he has agreed
to. Today's response is regarded as
being satisfactory, in a measure, but
it is not sufficiently definite. It may
be, too. that in order to assure the ar
rival and delivery of supplies shipped
to points along- the line. General Fun
ston will desire to piace guards on the
trains.
War Department officials were great
ly relieved by the removal of the neces
sity for maintaining a motor truck sup
ply line over desert roads for a distance
of more than 200 miles. A cloudburst
or great storm might render the roads
impassable for a considerable time.
Details Require Xo Haute.
Aside from the railroad problem, de
tails of the protocol suggested by Gen
eral Carranza remain to be worked out
through diplomatic channels. State De
partment officials indicate, however,
that there is no reason tar haste in
this connection. As was the case when
American troops crossed into Mexico
in pursuit of Geronimo, the Apache
outlaw, years ago, the formal agree
ment may not be completed until the
expedition has accomplished its 'pur
pose and returned.
In Mexico the agreement is under
stood to have another object. General
Carranza is said to desire its perfec
tion as a definite and binding under
standing with the United States which
he can show to his people in support of
his statement that no sovereign rights
of his country have been surrendered
or violated.
IlAILItOAD IS IN' BAD SHAPE
Bridges Are Gone and Most of Cars
Are in Xeed of Repair.
EL PASO. Tex.. March 29. The first
train bearing supplies to General
Fershing's troops at the front will
probably leave Juarez tomorrow. The
limitations imposed by General Car
ranza confining shipments to goods
sent to concerns in Mexico who have
contracts with the expeditionary force
caused some disappointment among
Army officers. It was feared that these
restrictions, coupled with the fact that
military guards could not accompany
the trains, might hamper the trans
mission of adequate supplies.
The Northwestern lines between here
and Casas Grandes, near which town
(ieneral Pershing has established his
principal base in Mexico, are admitted
ly in a bad way. Almost all the bridges
have been burnevl by brigands. These
bridges have not been repaired, but
temporary tracks have been laid on im
provised roadbeds in the gulches them
selves. These tracks cannot stand
heavy traffic. The equipment of the
road Is also poor, most of the cars be
ing in need of repairs.
Complete absence of any definite
news of the pursuit of Villa has caused
a noticeable slackening of interest in
the chase, as far as the border la con
cerned. It is practically acceptevi here
that the bandit has eluded his pursuers,
at least for the present.
FOSTON IS DISAPPOIXTED
Army Itegards Carranr.a's Itestric-
tions as Menacing.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 29.
General Funston had not received of
ficial notification late today that he
was at liberty to ship supplies through
Juarez to Casas Grandes. but orders
alreaCy issued to the commissary de
partment were such that no delay was
expected.
Disappointment of the staff officers
at headquarters was unconcealed, how
ever. They had expected the de facto
government of Mexico to give unquali
fied consent to the use of th North
western. Permission to ship supplies
as commercial freight consigned to
someone not directly connected with
the Army and failure to guarantee the
American Army the right to supervise
the transportation of its own supplies
was regarded as inadequate.
It had been hoped by General Funs
ton and his Btaff that Carranza would
not Impowe conditions. Tn which cane

ARMY BILL PUSHED
Measure to Be Kept Before
Senate Constantly.
NIGHT SESSIONS POSSIBLE
Borah Gives Notice He Will Oppose
National Guard Provisions and
Aviation Equipment of Army
Is Freely Criticised.
WASHINGTON, March 29. Consider
ation of the Army Increase bill, the
first of the big National defense meas
ures, began in the Senate today with
Republicans joining the Democrats in
expressing the hope that it might be
disposed of as quickly as possible.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the military committee, introduced the
measure, which is a substitute for the
Hay bill passed by the House, and ex
plained its provisions. When the bill
had been read it was laid aside to per
mit Senators to familiarize themselves
with it. It will be called up tomorrow
for reading by sections and will be
kept constantly before the Senate
until passed. Senator Chamberlain an
nounced he would ask for night ses
sions unless reasonable progress was
made without them.
Borak Opposes Guard Provisions,
So far there has been no evidence of
any serious opposition to the bill as a
whole, though changes in certain fea
tures will be advocated. Senator Borah
gave notice that he would fight the
National Guard provisions.
The chief aim of the Senate sub
stitute is to increase the peace strength
of the regular Army to 175.000 men. It
also provides for a Federal volunteer
force of 241,000 men, and a National
Guard of 280,000, which would be
placed under Federal control and par
ticipate in Federal appropriations.
Criticism of the aviation equipment
of the Army was freely made in the
course of today's discussion, and the
recent experiences Of the aviators In
Mexico were cited as illustrations of
the Inefficiency of the equipment.
Senator Chamberlain declared that
Congress largely was responsible for
this condition because of its parsi
monious policy in the face of insist
ence by department heads for large
appropriations.
Bill Declared Not Partisan.
The Oregon Senator declared that
the Senate bill had been drawn in a
nonpartisan spirit. With compulsory
training-- not compulsory service he
declared.the country, after five years
could absolutely do away with its
standing Army except such as was nec
essary for police duty. The country,
however, he explained, was not ready
for compulsory training, and voluntary
training in institutions of learning was
as far as the bill had gone.
Senator Chamberlain blamed Con
gress for faulty equipment in the Army,
for aeroplanes that would not fly and
machine guns that would not shoot.
"The aviation service is notoriously
weak," he said. "It is not the fault of
the Army nor of the Aviation Corps,
but it Is the fault of Congress that re
fuses to appropriate money to provide
proper equipment."
He said the cost of the National
Guard under the bill would be $46,000,
000 the first year, $50,000,000 In the sec
ond. 140,000.000 the third. 145.000.000 the
fourth and about 140,000.000 annually
thereafter. The total cost of all forces
under the bill would be $197,896,000 the
first year, ranging up to $260,000,000 the
fourth year, $250,000,000 the fifth year
and $246,250,000 annually thereafter.
