The United Etatea now Is waiting for General Car- ranza'8 final word in reply to the note pent yesterday demanding1 release of the prisoners taken at Carrlzal and a formal diplomatic announcement of In tentions. The note reached Mexico City late last night. Special Agent Rodgers re ported Its receipt, adding that he had failed In his first efforts to place It In the bands of the Carranza Minister of Foreign Relations Undoubtedly It was delivered today. Officials looked for an answer within a day or two at most. Meanwhile both Congress and the "War Department put new urgency Into their preparations for war. Rush Call Made for Troops. War Department activities during the day covered & wide field. Supplemen tal orders to departmental commanders called for greater haste in getting the National Guard to the border. Authorization went out to accept the men under the physical -examinations on which they entered the state serv ice, postponing final examination until they are en route or have reached the border. Those found unfit will be sent back at once. Estimates to cover the pay and main tenance expense of the state troops, totaling $88,000,000 up to January 1. were laid before Congress. With them went figures of $13,000,000 for the pur chase of horses and mules for Army use. The total estimates of the Quartermaster-General alone pass the $100, 000,000 mark. Army Bill Put Through. The House passed the annual Army appropriation bill after adding $26, 000,000 for emergency purposes during the brief debate that preceded . the Vote. An ursrent deficiency bill carry ing $25,000,000 for National Guard pay. equipment and transportation was framed in committee for presentation to the House tomorrow. Railroad representatives were called into conference at the War Depart ment to hasten the shipment of troops and supplies to the border. A definite plan was mapped out under which traffic agents In all lines will work with Army Quartermasters In routing trains. Special marks will distinguish cars with Army supplies. Insuring them right of way at all witching points. Military Censorship Proposed. nana ror military censorship over newspapers, magazines and other pub lications as TeU as other lines of com munication were talked over. A reso lution conferring broad powers In this regard upon the President was framed for submission to Congress. In the Senate, the National Guard draft resolution was passed with amend ments, which will necessitate Its return to the House and possibly a confer ence before its final approval. Army ornciats await with impatience the au thorlty to consolidate Incomplete units of the National Guard. They estimate that when the regiments reach the border under new orders, some com panies will be promptly depleted by the men discovered to be physically unin on iinai examination. Great Force to Entrain. Indications were that 10,000 might reacn me Doraer this week. In two weeks probably 60,000 could be trans ported south and within three weeks the whole force summoned under Pres ident Wilson's call might be moved. President Wilson expressed to call ers today his app-eciatlon of the an nouncement of business houses throughout the country that- their em ployes would be permitted to serve with the National Guard without loss of salaries or positions. Several em ployers have sent such announcements direct to the White House, and the President has written thanking them. To one New York company whose offer reached him today he wrote: "The patriotic response of the busi ness men of Amerlca-ln the present un usual circumstances of the country has been what I personally, confidently ex- Weakness and Incertitude of Ad ministration Blamed for Eu ropean Troubles and Mexican Situation.

Some to Stay In Mexico. State Department estimates fix the number of Americans remaining In Mexico at approximately 1000. All of those who decide to leave are expected to be en route north by the end of the week. Some have announced their In tention of remaining, whatever hap pens. This number grows less from day to day, however, as Individuals change their minds and apply for trans portation. The department ts unable to estimate how many are determined to stay.

In connection with oil fields in the Tamplco region, it is known that the attitude of the Carranza commander in charge at the fields themselves has been much more conservative than thcc of General Naffarette at Tamplco itself.

To lubricate the inside of the bowels with highly refined petroleum is the basic principle of a treatment for con stipation now being used In North America and Europe with remarkable success. The value f petroleum for such a purpose was first advocated by Sir Wm. Arbuthnot Lane. M. D., an em inent English physician. The new remedy which is being sold by The Owl Drug Co. under the name of Ameroil Is not a medicine In the ordinary sense of the word; It con tains no drug, alcohol or poison. It is a colorless, tasteless and odorless liquid paraffine. which when taken passes through the bowel, oiling the passage as It goes and softening all the hard ened masses which have caused the constipation. The resulting movement is absolutely natural, easy and agreeable. Ameroil does not absorb into the sys tem. It causes no pain or griping and Is not In the least weakening In its effects. It Is sold in pint bottles at EOo per bottle. Ice Cream 4 Flavors ONE QUART BRICK 35( Delivered within 3-mile limit, 40c Will keep S hours. LEIGHTON'S Phones Marahall 5870 1 K 3148.

While the debate was at its height Clarence Strouss read a resolution said to have been passed by the delegates from Virginia to the Progressive a tional Convention opposing the indorse ment of any other than a Progressive for President. He challenged the right of James K. Garfield to vote for Hughes under the proxy he held of the Nation al committeeman from Virginia. Mr. Garfield said he had never heard of the action and finally declined to be guided by it. The following states voted for the In dorsement of Hughes on the rollcall: Oregon Votes for Hashes Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Cali fornia, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana. Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mary land, Michigan. Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Wyoming, Hawaii Many of the committeemen in voting took occasion to explain their votes. Harold Li Ickes. of Illinois, said that 70 per cent of the Progressives of his state would vote for Hughes. William Flynn, of Pennsylvania, said that 95 per cent of the Progressives In Penn sylvania were for Hughes. Dr. Harris, of Rhode Island, Baid that a majority of the Progressives in his state favored Wilson. Committeeman Griffiths, of Washington, said that a majority of his constituents favored a third ticket and that President Wilson had many sup porters. Resolution FinallT Adopted. The resolution as finally adopted after 6even hours of debate was as follows: "Whereas, The statement issued by this committee in January and the platform adopted by the Progressive National Convention set forth that put ting aside all partisan considerations In view of existing world and National conditions, we would work with any man or party who saw the Nation's need and put forth a leader fit to meet it, and, "Whereas. We believe with Colonel Roosevelt that In nominating Charles E. Hughes, of New York, the Repub lican party has put forth such a leader, we Indorse and concur ia the recom mendation of Colonel Roosevelt that we support Mr. Hughes." The executive committee organized following the adjournment of the com mittee meeting. Mr. Perkins was re elected chairman. O. K. Davis secretary and Elon H. Hooker treasurer. The executive committee will meet In New York within, ten days to confer with Mr. Hughes regarding campaign plans.

Hurried preparations for the reception of thou sands of National Guardsmen were under way In El Paso tonight. Military authorities expressed the opinion that approximately 20,000 guardsmen will arrive here before the end of the week, and, with the 5000 regular troops now stationed here, will make El Paso the largest military concentration camp in the United States. The entire strength of the Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut organizations, approxi mating 10,000 men. Is under orders to entrain for El Paso. It Is planned that about 6000 of the state troops now on their way here will be stationed at Fort Bliss, on the out skirts of the town, while camp sites were laid in the corporate limits of the city for the remaining 5000. General Bell said that water mains had been laid, sewer connections made and the ground leveled, leaving nothing for the militiamen to do upon their arrival but to throw up their canvas. Arrange ments have been made also for the drilling of recruits by noncommissioned officers of the regular organizations on station here. Border Cltle Are Quiet. Major William Elliott, in charge of the Army quartermaster's depot here, said he had begun a heavy concentra tion of supplies, preparatory to the ar rival of the guardsmen. It was esti mated that $1,000,000 worth of sup plies, equipment, food and forage is in transit to the depot. The cities on the international fron tier were quiet tonight. Some little excitement was caused by rumors that American and Mexican troops had again dashed between Carrlzal and . Villa Ahumada. but was allayed when both American and Mexican military author- ities denied the report. Discussion on both sides of the river centered on President Wilson's de mands upon Carranza, Mexican offi cials of the better educated class said they did not believe there would be any objection to surrendering the American prisoners taken at Carrlzal. This concession, they said, ought to satisfy American pride, but they ex pressed fear it would not. In the Met lean view, the Carrlzal fight Is simply an object lesson as to the danger or letting the American troops come into I have been fighting by your side. contact with the Mexicans. Safe Conduct Given Americana. Andres Garcia, Mexican Consul to El Paso, said today that "on Captain Morey's own statement the Americans were the aggressors at Carrlzal, as they not only disregarded the warning to turn back, but afterwards advanced In battle formation." Messages from the capital to the Mexican consulate today said that friendly relations between the govern ment of Guatemala and the de facto government of Mexico had been re stored aa the result of the American crisis. The Carranza authorities also an nounced that safe conduct papers were being Issued to Americans who desired to remain in the country. of thing could not continue If the Ad ministration took proper measures to stop It. That responsibility the Ad ministration cannot evade by condemn ing others. "It was officially ct&ted by the Sec retary of State in the Mexican note of June 20, 1918. "that for three years the Mexican republlo has been torn with civil atrife;- the live of Americans and other aliens have been sacrificed; vast properties developed, by American capital and enterprise have been de stroyed or rendered non-productive; bandits have been permitted to roam at will through territory contiguous to the Unite! States and to seize, with out punishment or without effective at tempt at punishment, the property of Americans, while the lives of citizens of the United States who ventured to remain in Mexican territory or to return there to protect their interests have been taken. In some cases barbarously taken, and the murderers have neither been apprehended nor brought to Jus tice. What an indictment by the Ad ministration of its Mexican policy! Nation Still Unprepared And. still we are unprepared. That unpreparedness in the midst of perils, and after the experience of three years, is a demonstration of an un pardonable neglect for which the Ad ministration is responsible. The Government now has and must have most emphatically the unstinted and patriotic support of everr citizen in the existing exigency. But unques tioning, loyal and patriotic support of the Government is one thing; approval of the fatuous course which the Ad ministration has followed Is quite an other. I cannot in this message ade quately review that course; that I shall do later. "No Intelligent man la deceived by the temporary prosperity due to ab normal conditions and no one can fall to appreciate the gravity of the prob lems with which we shall be faced when the war ends. We are alive to the imperative necessity of assuring the bases of honest business. Stable Foundation Put First.

To what agency shall we lock- for the essential constructive programme on which our security and prosperity must depend it Is vain to expect it from the Democratic party. That party has not the National outlook. Both its traditions and dominating influences are fatal handicaps. I have no sec tional word to utter. We are to elect a President of the whole country, nof of part. lhe bouth, as well as the North. East and West, will be the gain ers from our endeavors.

Had Victor Murdock been nom inated by the Progressive National Committee at Chicago tonight, his friends here who have long personal acquaintance with him. renewed by his visit to La Grande yesterday, do not believe he would have accepted. In fact it Is reported on the best authority that he confided f lat-footedly to friends that he would not. He said of the plstform. In an interview, that he was "not & Democrat and not a Repub lican, and that the action of the two Chicago conventions left him high and dry." What he said concerning bis support of Hughes could not be learned and he said nothing concerning it from the platform. The only Intimation he made of a semi-official nature that might be used as a criterion of his position with Hughes wss that he very vigorously criticised Wilson and his Mexican policy.
