Tided for the Ashland normal, which
is now out ol operation.
The reason for Including the state
schools In the measure is the fact
there Is a leg. 1 cloud upon the loca
tions of thoBe schools. The original
constitution of Oregon provided that
all state Institutions should be located
at the ''lit'e capital Apparently the
university the igrleultural college and
the normal schools were located In

In the event that President Wilson
' issues a second call ror state troops,
1 a company of cavalry will in all prob
I ability be formed in Pendleton. Al
I ready preliminary steps have been ta
ken In anticipation of such an event
uality. Early this morning Captain Max S
Kern, until a year ago a staff officer
111 the department of ordnance, held
a telephone c nversation with Adju
tant General White and promised a
company of cavalry from Pendleton
upon 4(i hours' notice and a company
ot Infantry upon 24 hours' notice
Captain Kern 'li now taking the names
of men who are ready to go should a
company be organised and has already
secured a considerable nucleus.
At present there is but one troop of
cavalry in Oregon and that is not of
maximum strength, should open hos
tilities between this country' and Mex
ico ensue, it is believed that a large
number of cavalrymen would be ne
cessary and Captain Kern thinks that
l'endleton woud be asked to raise a
company it would take about 100
men to form a company and he be
lieves this Dumber could be easily se
cured. Several Pendleton men, members ot
companies in other cities, have already
left to join their companies and pre
pare for a Journey to the border
.Many former ;;uardsmen of the city
are longing for a chance to get into
action and would lend their best ef
forts toward providing a company
from this city.
Unconfirmed Rumor Declares That De Facto
Head Has Sent Note to Wilson Saying That
Unless U. S. Forces are Withdrawn Within
Week, War Will be Declared; Supplies Being
Rushed to Pershing's Men in Mexico; Wilson
Sends Reply to Carranza Refusing to With
draw Expeditionary Force.
EL PASO, June 19. The border scented war today. Pre
parations have been made to repel an attack on El Paso in the
event that war is declared.
Carranza was reported to have ordered a movement of his
troops to cut off the retreat of a part of the Amerjcan expedi
tionary force.
It was rumored, but not confirmed, that Carranza has sent
a message to Wilson saying that war will be declared unless
the American troops are ordered withdrawn within' a week.
Every available motortruck along the 280 mile American line
south of Columbus is rushing rifles, ammunition and food to
Pershing's army of 15,000 seasoned men. Stretched in a horse
shoe curve around them arei 50,000 Carranzistas, reported to
be illfed, poorly trained and badly equipped.
Persons arriving here today stated that the famine in Mex
ico has sprtead throughout the tountTyV Vi irta declared that
the de facto government has not sufficient food to maintain its
army more than 30 days.
Pershing has entrenched at strategic points. No frontal at
tacks are anticipated but it is feared that American parols
might clash with some of the disorderly and uncontrolled Carranzistas.
WASHINGTON. June 19. Secretary of War Baker took
steps today to make the militia ready for service duty inside of
Mexico. He sent a copy of the special resolution to the house
military committee making immediately effective the section of
the army law giving the war department authority to order the
militia into foreign territory.
Baker insisted that the plan was merely precautionary. He
said that the situation teemed with the wildest possibilities and
that every effort is being made to prepare for eventualities.
The American reply to Carranza's note demanding the with
drawal of American troops will be sent forward this afternoon.
The Mexican government has requested that the command
ers of the American navy make no attempt to disembark dur
ing the present excitement even though unarmed.
Wilson's note to Carranza is 10.000 1 excitement and irritation in Mexico
words long There is clearly no mis- than heretofore
take that he ably declines to withdraw
the expeditionary force and answers
Carranza's misstatements of fact, and
