Washington, Juno 20. (I. N. 8.)
The war department will Issue orders
within 48 hours for the first militia
regiments to entrain for the border
and reinforce General Funston's army
of 50,000.
This decision follows a request made
Tuesday by General Funston for a
"considerable force" of militia' to pa
trol the Mexican border, from Nogales
to the Gulf of Mexico. Me also aked
for a force to be held In reserve here.
Funston declined to state Hie number
of 'men hp asked for.
It came at the close of a da v in a r it tr
i'y development thaj con vlru-eri of
fiiars that the I'nileil States and Mex
ico, are hourly drawing nearer war.
Soma Important Developments.
-Important developments of yesterday
were;
First The I'nlted States sent to
the Mexican government a war note
warning I'arranza of the grave conse
quences that will follow a resort to
arms by Mexico.
Second The president and cabinet
reached the firm decision to back up
the note with the armed strength of
the nation, even to the extent of call
ing out a half million volunteers to
supplement the regulars and militia.
Third Ambassador Designate Ar
redondo suddenly cancelled an engage
ment with Secretary of State Lansing.
Mexican embassy officials regarded
the note as an affront and possibly a
casus belli.
Mexico City Becomes Hostile.
Fourth Special Agent Itodgers In
formed the state department of anti
Atnerjcan demonstrations in Mexico
'tty and said lie had arranged to take
all Americans on special trains tomor
row to Vera Cruz, where the United
States transport Hancock will be wait
ing to bring them to the I'nited States.
Fifth Anticipating an Immediate
clash. General Funston wired the war
department to send the first install
ment of national guard to the border
Immediately.
Upcrtv receipt of General Funston's
request! the war department tele
M'apbe department commanders to
report Immediately upon the progress
of national guard mobilization.
Funston In Need of Cavalry.
Responses to these telegrams showed
the Massachusetts and District of 'Col
umbia national guard organizations
were nearest completely mobilized.
These regiments and those of New
' "V'ork and Illinois, both of which states
i had cavalry of which General Funs-
j ton needs the aid, are likely to be the
' first ordered to the border.
it is not expected that any militia
establishments will be ready to en
train within 48 hours, but chiefs of the
division of militia affairs said if Gen
eral Funston urges their immediate
dispatch they will be sent to the border
without waiting for full mobilization
and recruiting.
War With Carranza Expected.
Advices from Mexico City that Car
ranza has reiterated his threat to at
tack Pershing's forces and that For
eign Minister Aguilar, In the face of
the American war note's flat rejection
of the demand to evacuate Mexico,
has repeated his demand for with
drawal, prepared officials for war
with Carranza.
The American note Is not expected
to reaeh Mexico City until tomorrow.
It was dispatched today by Ambassa
dor Designate Arrendondo. but delay
was occasioned by necessity of translating-
the note Into Spanish.
Secretary x-anslng made It plain
that notice to Carranza that the United
States will not permit munitions or
machinery for -their manufacture to
be exported to Mexico is considered a
notice of a blockade of Mexican ports.
Shipments to Mexico will be stopped
at the American port of exit.
A nation cannot, Mr. Lansing Bald,
blockade the port of another nation
with which It is not at war. Neverthe
less, the navy department has sent
enough vessels to Mexican waters to
blockade every seaport on the Atlantic
, and Pacific coasts of Mexico if oc
casion arises. This will be the first
tep taken on the outbreak of hostili
ties. A blockade under such circum
stances will prevent not only the en
try of ammunition but foodstuffs and
Bhlpmenta of every character to Mex
ico. Carransa Troops With Bandits.
General Funston reported he had re
ceived definite information that more
of the supposed bandit forces who at
tacked the advance guard of Pershing's
army when It waa returning to the
field base In reality waa composed of
Carranza troops. There la information
that the attack on Major Grey's pun
itive expedition in the Matamoraa dis
trict last week was made by Carranza
soldiers and not by bandits.

RECRUITING GOES ON FAST
Mobilization will Be Supreme Test of

Country; Becrnltlng Goes On.
New York. June 51. (U. P.) Amer
ica has donned the habiliments of war
today. Almost every city in the nation
saw khaki-clad men answering the call
for general mobilization of the militia.
Statistics gathered today by the Uni
ted Press show that the national
guardsmen of all the states called out
by President Wilson have answered the
cell to the colors with instantaneous
unanimity, while recruiting is fast
everywhere.
By the end of the week every one of
the 100,000 national guardsmen requi
sitioned for service will be in concen
tration camps, drilling and "harden
i.g" for actual service wherever need
ed. Engineers Fnt to the Test.
In many cases this concentration
called for almost, superhuman efforts
by engineers to construct sanitary wa
ter supplies and arrange disposal of
sewage.
New York's 16.000 troops, for In
stance, to be concentrated near Beek
man, N. Y., make necessary laying out
of a small-sized town with complete
sewage disposal plants, a 320,000 gal
lons a day water supply plant and tre
mendous food supplies.
That the mobilization will be- a test
of railroads and food supply stations as
well as of the guard itself, was be
coming more and more apparent today.
Making Beady for Grim War.
Nearly every city in the country to
day saw its boys off or saw them mak

No such scenes have been witnessed
since the Spanish-American war of
1898. Mothers, fathers, sisters, sweet
hearts, thronged the armories every
where, saying farewell good-byes In
which the tears of fear Were mixed
with the laughter of pride.
Recruiting stations for national
guardsmen throughout the country are
flooded with applicants. United Press
dispatches indicate there will be no
difficulty whatever in filling all guard
regiments to their full war strength.
Ken right for Chances.
Several cities reported men almost
fighting for places in th line waiting
to enlist. The whole nation also re
