this showing is considered highly
gratifying. There were scores of ap
plicants who failed to meet the physi
cal examination tests and there were
a. few who could not be accepted on

ly recruited up to mobilization
strength, but, on instructions from

will be continued until all the units
of the National Guard are placed on
a war footing. If this programme is
carried out It will mean that the pres
ent roster of militiamen will be more
than doubled.

now filled to minimum strength and
will probably be ready to move to

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 19. Oregon was the tenth
state to respond through its Governor
to the Presidents call for mobilization
of the National Guard. The first re
sponse reached the War Department at
12:46 this (Monday) morning from the
Governor of New Tork. Then, in order,
came telegrams from the Governors of
Michigan, Missouri, Tennessee, Ver
mont, Georgia, Mississippi, Washington,
Virginia and Oregon.
Mobilization is in progress as di
rected," replied Governor Withycombe.
'Orders for mobilization of the Na
tional Guard of Washington have been
Issued by me tonight," responded Gov
ernor Lister.
The telegram from Governor Withy
combe was reecived at 3:30 A. M. today,
and .the reply of Governor Lister at
1:17 A. M.
Following receipt of the telegram
from Governor Withycombe the Secre
tary of War. in order, received re
sponses from the Governors of Maine,
Ohio, North Dakota, Illinois. Idaho at
7:05 A. M. today; Colorado, Montana, In
diana. California and Minnesota.
The call for the militia was Issued so
suddenly that there is no clear Idea,
even In the War Department, as to just
what Is contemplated. If. Congress
passes the bill presented In 'the House
today by' Representative Hay, the mili
tia will be organized under the pro
visions of section 111 of the new Army
reorganization act.
All details regarding; the members or
the National Guard of the Pacific states
are being arranged by the chief of the
Pacific division at San Francisco, the
War Department not being advised. It
the understanding, however, that
the Guard of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho will form the Second Brigade,
Sixteenth Division, the California mili
tia making up the First Brigade and
the Guard from Montana and other
Mountain states the Third Brigade of
the Sixteenth Division.

SOOO troops. The garrison at Laredo
tonight was less than 1000.
At Fiedras Negras, the Mexican town
opposite Eagle Pass, the Mexican garri
son has been busy leaving all day. Be
fore leaving Piedras Negras the Mexi
cans dismantled the machine shops,
moving large quantities of the material
to the Interior.
The concentration of heavy forces to
the south of Juarez also was reported.
The only point where concentration at
a border town was being effected was
at Ojinago, opposite Presidio. There
not more than 600 were stationed, but
the American force at Presidio also Is
small.

Brownsville said that all was quiet in

AMERICAN'S LEAVING SOJfORA
Special Train Bringing One Party
of Refugees Out.
DOUGLAS, Ariz.. June 19. A special
train will leave for Nacozarl, Sonora,
tonight with 110 Americans and other
foreigners aboard.
It is also reported here on good au
thority that American employes of the
mines and smelters in Cananea will
come to the border at Naco tonight or
early in the morning.
A telegram from W. A. Julian, United
States Cousular Agent at Cananea, to
day said:
"Local - conditions here are again
normal. General Calles issued a circu
lar today calling on all citizens to re
spect the rights and safety of foreign
ers. Mine and smelter are working
with full crews."
It was reported late today on what
appeared to be competent authority
that Consul Frederick Simpich had is
sued orders from his office at Nogales
that all Americans should leave the
portions of Mexico under his jurisdic
tion at once.
PERSHING'S MEN MOVE

Presence of Marauders Learned. Al
most Simultaneously Wltb Receipt
of AVaralULS From Trevino.
COLUMBUS. N. M., June 19. General
J. J. Pershing, American expeditionary
commander, has cavalry detachments
operating south and west of the Nami-
quipa base in pursuit of bands of Hex
lean marauders, according to several
apparently reliable reports here today.
It was asserted that General Pershing
received reports of the presence of the
bandits almost simultaneously with
General Jacinto Trevino's warning that
any movement of the American troops
other than toward the border would be
considered a hostile act. Pending ad
vices from General Frederick Funston,
It was said, he gave no orders to give
chase until late yesterday.
While some anxiety was expressed
here over the move it was not believed
that General Trevino will seize upon it
as an excuse for attacking the detach
ments. It waa pointed out that the
movement Is minor and In no way af
fects the general expeditionary cam
paign.
A motor truck train two miles long
left here today carrying food and am
munition to the front- The trains car
ried the largest shipments of supplies
for the expeditionary force since it
crossed the border.

mander anywhere may bringr on fight
ing that will result in war.
So far as officials here are aware,
General Carranza is taking no strong
measures to curb his soldiers and
people. Upon this fact many ol
them found their belief that he is de
termined to force matters to an issue
unless the American troops are with
drawn. ' Neither State Department officials
nor members of the diplomatic corps
here have been able to satisfy them
selves as to Carranza's motives. There
are some, however, who believe he
hopes to ride into popularity by a
diplomatic triumph over his powerful
northern neighbor or upon a war wave
which might re-establish his tottering
government in popular estimation.
Once the war was on and the certain
defeat of his armies foreshadowed,
the observers say. General Carranza
might sue for peace, trusting to the
magnanimity of the Washington Gov
ernment to leave him in power.
Americans May Be in Peril.
Increasing uneasiness over the
plight of some 6000 American civil
ians in Mexico was manifested today
in official quarters. Approximately
1200 of that number are in Mexico
City, despite warning after warning
through American Consuls and other
officials. Another emphatic message
advising them to leave Mexico imme
diately was sent by the State Depart
ment through Special Agent Rodgers
a day or two ago. Officials do not
believe the Carranza government
would sanction an attack upon Ameri
can residents or that other foreigners
would be involved in any case.
A weapon of terrible possibilities Is
being forged in Mexico, however, with
attempts to Incite the ignorant peon
population to a warlike feeling against
the United States. Mobs formed by
hart-starved natives who have been
told that all of Mexico's accumulated
troubles are traceable to the Americans
might well precipitate a situation be
yond the control of the government.
Careful preparation has been made
for the protection of the big American
colony near Tampico. In numbers it
exceeds that in the capital, but it Is
near the sea, and Navy gunboats and
light craft already have been designat
ed to offer prompt aid. If necessary,
small landing parties would be sent to
open a way to the boats.
Expedition to Capital Snggested.
For the Mexico City problem, how
ever, no such solution presents Itself.
It was suggested to one official body
today that an expeditionary force
might be rushed to the relief of Amer
icana there. He replied that it would
mean moving- an army of 50(000 or er-

Although practically no details con
cerning the mobilization of National
Guardsmen reached the War Depart
ment today, acknowledgments of the
orders came from every Governor, with
word that the troop bad been ordered
under arms. In several Instances a
request that the state be allowed to
send its full contingent to the border.
instead of the regiments or brigades
called for, accompanied the acknowl
edgment. Governor Dunne, of Illinois.

Cobcku May Act Teday.
Secretary Baker announced during
the day that he had aavised" Represen
tative Hay and Senator Chamberlain,
chairman of the House and Senate mil
itary committees, to endeavor to bring
about the adoption by Congress of a
resolution putting into immediate ef
fect the militia draft provisions of the
new Army organization bill, which will
become effective July 1. The resolu
tion probably will be presented tomor
row in both houses.
With this information came also the
statement that the orders calling out
the state troops were so framed as to
make it possible to compel the presence
at the border at least of every man
enrolled. They were summoned as Na
tional Guardsmen, in which status they
bear a distinct relation to the Federal
Government and by law are the first
source for securing volunteers who
have no connection with the states; they
were also summoned as members of the
organized militia, and as such cannot
be used beyond the border, though
available for any duty within the
United States.
All Gnardraea Subject.
The draft provision of the new law
Is applicable to every member of the
National Guard or the National Guard
reserve. It cannot be made retroactive,
however, and all National Guardsmen
must voluntarily take the dual oath of
enlistment under the Federal and state
governments before they can become
subject to Its oDiigation.
It Is believed here that there will be
little objection on the part of most of
the Guardsmen. It is planned, to exer
cise the draft immediately if Congress
adopts the resolution, and state soldiers
who have taken the required oath tnen
will become Federal soldiers, with no
connection whatever with the National
Guard or the organized militia. They

will be available for service In Mexico
without further formalities.
On the other hand, those who may
refuse to take the oath and will not,
therefore, be subject to draft, will re
main under Federal control under the
provisions of the old laws, which still
are operative. They will be available
for guard duty along the border. If for
nothing else, and Army officials feel
the urgent need of keeping them ready
tor that purpose.
Art to Be Made Clear.
The resolution. It is understood, will
authorize the President to employ the
armed forces of the rjnlted States either
in Mexico or along the border for de
fensive purposes. Such a provision
would meet the objection of those who
bold that a sufficiently clear author
ization has not been given for the pur
poses of section III of the new Army
bill providing that drafting of National
Guardsmen can begin only after proper
authorization has been given by Con
gress for the employment of forces
other than the regular Army. Legal
officers of the War Department desire
to make certain that no complications
will arise later to block efficient use of
the state troops.
Ample equipment of all kinds Is on
hand at the various depots of the Army,
Secretary Baker said today, to complete
the outfits of all the Guardsmen called
for service. A sufficient supply of
field artillery and machine guns and
enough ammunition for any fighting
that might occur also is on hand.
The most pressing need will be horses
to mount all of the National Guard
cavalry and supply gun teams for the
field batteries. The large excess held
in Array remount stables for the needs
of the regulars will fall short of pres
ent needs by many thousands.
Officials are busy working out. the
number that must be supplied and the
quickest way of securing them.
Doetora te Be Called.
Another step taken at the War De.
partment today was preparation or or
ders calling out doctors of the medical
reserve corps to examine Guardsmen
for muster into the Federal service.
The department will Insist upon the
high physical standards of the regular
Army.
In some states that already Is re
quired, and there will be little delay.
In others there is reason to believe,
officers say, that men Incapable of
arduous military service have been en
