With American troops on the eve ot enter ing Mexico, President Wilson today was threatened with ; congressional revolt against bis Mexican policy, ' An outburst of criticism was be lieved Immlnont In tub senate, whore tho "military reciprocity" agreement with Carransa Is disliked by a num ber. - . Many senators already have -ex pressed Indignation because Car ranaa, was given permission to enter the United States. An explosion was also threatened in the house. On the other hand, the White House was indignant at the Mexican "war talk." It let It bo known that "Jingo discussions" were tho most embarrassing and dangerous features ot tho situation. The administra tion considered drastic measures to halt the war and Intervention agita tion, both In and out of congress. Administration members discussed an Investigation of Intervention pro paganda, possibly by Attorney Gen eral Gregory. The principal protest In congress was based on the fact that President Wilson failed to consult the legisla tive bodies before accepting Car- ransa's "reciprocity" proposal. Con sidering that many Carranslstas are semi-organised bandits and that many ot them are former Tllllstas, opponents ot the scheme fear the agreement will result In forays on American toll by outlaws masquerad ing as soldiers of Carransa. With the state department admit ting that no "military reciprocity" treaty or written authority exists, op ponents declared President Wilson had exceeded his constitutional pow ers In agreeing to the technical "In vasion" of America. Jealous of the presidential prerogatives, some In sisted the agreement would be void unless ratified by the aenato. Administration supporters charged opponents of the pact were actuated by political motives, and promised to severely criticise any . attempt to make political capital of the Inci dent ;' . Some fear that Wilson's course will ultimately mean Intervention, If not hostilities with Carranza and a united Mexico, whllo others believed congress should not hesitate to legal ize the president's procedure. Delay In starting the expedition al so' threatened to provoke criticism. aimed generally at the army, Its transportation facilities, and Its lack of ammunition. Administration of ficials insisted diplomacy had not Im peded the work of mobilization. Final orders for tho Villa hunt are In General Funston's hands. The wires hummed today with message conveying details of the expedition, while Washington awaited news that American troops had entered Mexico. Army men believe that General Pershing's main column will not start before tomorrow at the earliest. All reports agreed that the "mili tary 'reciprocity" agreement had a quieting effect upon Mexican popular sentiment. I'KRMIKK ASQt'lTH ILL London, Mnr. 14.

Delayed Swiss dispatches said the Swiss-German frontier had been closed, to Insure secrecy of troop movements. French aviators hover ing over tho Teuton lines observed great bodies of German reinforce ments on the march. Swiss sources also revived the re port that Field Marshal von Macken sen Is commanding the German at tack on Verdun, and that Kaiser Wll holm has summoned Field Marshal von lllndenburg there to assist him. Critics believe that In his new thrust the crown prince will drive simultaneously at Goose hill and "Dead Man's" hill, striking also at Forts do Vsux and de Tavanoes. Artillery fire Is directed most se verely against those hills. It Is thought now the Germans wilt re sume their offensive with an attempt to fight through Corbeaux and Cumlores woods, to offset their losses In assaulting Ooose and "Dead Man's" hills. The Paris correspondent of the London Mall declared tho lull In In fantry work, notlceablo fur tho padt few days, has boon due partly to a need for artillory preparation and partly to a redistribution of German forces. . "The Seventh and Twenty-second divisions, which bore the brunt of the fighting at llt'thlncourt and at Goose I1J1I, have been severely handled and need rest," wrote the correspondent. "Possibly, like the Eleventh Iteserve division, they muat bo entirely re placed by now men," Old papers, for starting fires. 6c per bundle. Courier office. . the movies.
