Washington, Mar. 27. Charges
that republicans in the senate were
attempting to Interfere with Presi
dent Wilson's foreign policies and stir
up new international troubles were
denied today In a statement United
States Senator Jacob II. Gallingcr
issued after a caucus of republican
senators. The caucus nrged that
more troops, and possibly the militia,
be rushed to the border.
"Republican senators realize that
present dealings In the Mexican crisis
rest with the president," said the
statement, which was Issued in be
half of all who attended the caucus.
"The republican senators have not,
at any time, had any purpose of In
terfering with the executive, or with
any department of the government,
but are most solicitous that the Amer
ican expedition should be adequately
protected and reinforced if necessary
and that the border shall be provided
with forces sufficient to prevent raids
similar to the one at Columbus. While
realizing that our information may
not be complete, we believe, upon the
information we do have, that all
available regulars should be sent to
the border and that they shall be
reinforced by the 'national guard If
circumstances demand. Not only
should Villa and his murderous band
be captured and' punished, but lives
and property of Americans on both
sides of the border should be pro
tected, which heretofore has not been
done by our government."

reason why perhaps is because they
will burn beautifully. "A great many
