will depend upon the rapidity of en

POLICE ZONE ON

Argentina's Ambassador to
United States Urges Meas
ure as a Possible Preven
tive -of War in America.
Buenos Ayres, June 21. ( U. P.)
P. S. Naon, Argentine's ambassador to
Washington, has proposed the estab
lishment of a police zone along the
Mexican border to prevent further ban
dit raids and as a possible preventa
tive of war between the United States
and Mexico.
At the same time it is stated offi
cially that Ambassador Naon has re
ceived no specific instructions from
Ins foreign office to make peace
moves, Argentina adhering to her origi
nal policy of hands off, in the Mexican
situation.
The situation as outlined Tonight is
as follows:
Argentina, Brazil and Chile, the A.
B. C. governments which participated
in the mediation conference at Nia
gara Falls two years ago, directed
their diplomats at Washington to use
their own Judgment in suggesting
whatever means seem calculated to
avert hostilities. They were instructed
at the same time, however, to avoid
placing the governments formally in
the position of offering mediation un
less convinced that such an offer would
prove acceptable to the 1'nited States.
l.'nder such Instructions Ambassa
dor Naon is known to have proposed
the -"Establishment of a police zone
j along the border. The details of his
pian are not iuily known here and in
fact have been left to his discretion.
The United Press has received as
surances from the most authoritative
source that Argentina will not inter
fere in the Mexican situation except
upon invitation from the United States.
Ambassador Naon possesses the con
fidence of the Argentine government
to such a great extent that he "has
been given a- certain liberty" as it was
explained here tonight.

Not all patriotic- men and women
can go to the front, but they can
serve their country by assisting in the
support of the families of those who
are risking their lives In battle. There
are few who cannot spare a small
amount each month for this ' noble
work and the earnest desire Of the
Daughters is that the subscriptions be

necessity, not be large.
To Frxrnish Comfort Soil.
In addition to this work the Daugh

militia division, had received last re

Replies were sent to all that hence
forth, until the 93.518 militiamen called
out reached the border, they will re

Camp Withycombe. Clackamas, Or.,
June 24. The third battalion, third

This Is probably the first battalion
of state troops in the entire country to
take the oath of service to the United
States since the president's call to t&e
colors was made last Sunday.
Company M of this battalion was the
first national guard unit of any kind
to be mustered in, Oregon beating
every other state In the union, and Jt
is believed, the state, has se,t the pace
for the rest of the natron In the com
pletion of mustering of an entire bat
talion of four companies.
Company M was mustered In Fri

K Saturday.
Major Carle Abrams of Salem is the

Company I of Woodburn, Captain
Grover Todd, was given the federal

T. S. A. mustering officer, shortly after

The last man in Company M was
given his physical examination before

jections by the army surgeons. Cap
tain Williams, the mustering officer,
expects to have the troops in the mobi
lization camp mustered In by Tuesday.
Examination Will Continue.
Physical examinations will continue
through a week or 10 days, due to the
exacting tests and multitude of data
required. No unit here will be ready
to leave for the border in less than 10
days at best and the probabilities are
that it will be two weeks.
To assist in making the physical ex
aminations another surgeon has been
detailed to Join the three already on
the ground. '
Captain Williams received directions
from the secretary of war late today
that all companies of organized militia
