Chairman Chamberlain of tha mllltarr committee told th senate that In his opinion ths United States army did not have enough soldiers ta cop with th Mexican or enough eoulDment. Ma added he would not be surprised to see all Mex icans rally around Villa. Senator Borah gave President Wilson's determination to send troops across the border to capture outlaw his full endorse ment, but declared It would be th hela-nt of folly for th congress not to press preparations for war when no one could tell what the present military action might lead to. Alt Central America he said was apprehensive over tha move ment of American troops south of the Rio Grande, no matter what tha motlv may be. ' "Sparks of dissension are constantly flying from Europe over this hsmlsnhera." Senator Borah declared. "No man knows on day what emergency ths country may have ta face tha next Thla defense pro gram cannot be shaped in a week. It may take montha to formulate tha plans for national defenea urged by tha presi dent. "Judging from the nreaent rnn11Hnr. of this legislation, one of two things must he true.

WASHINGTON AND CARRANZA AGREE ON VILLA CHASE (Continued from 1'aae One.) country Thera"ls nopresent Intention to extend it to other Mexfcan territory. War Diaarlment 4let. While General Funston was proceeding with the arrangements to pursue the ban dits and end their activities once and for all. the War department was unusually 'lulot today. Hcores of telegrams csme from the border dealing with troop move ments, supply lines snd other countless detsils of military operation:, but no word that the forces hsd gone into MV?x-l'-o. The dispatches have not yet dis closed an outline of Oeneral Funston's plans nor even the fact, reported in press dispatches from the border, that Brig adier General Pershing had been assigned to lead the chase. The whole matter is In Genersl Fun ston's hands. Hs is planning carefully his moves on the huge chess-board of northern Mexico, where ho Is to match wits with Villa. Ills deliberation, offi cers her ssy, is calculated to make cer tain ths result before the first shot Is fired. Tha War department is Interested only In thee military movements. Dlscusnlon of th ultimate possibilities or probabili ties of the stand taken by the A'ashlng- ton administration or by General Car ransa Is only a side Issue, an academic argument It has been dlacuased by the army only in connection with the possi bility that a Carransa force might be left In th rear of th advancing columns without a definite understanding of what its attitude might be. Taklnsr TS Chances. Officers familiar with Oeneral Fun ston's reports of his troop dispositions said he was taking no chances in this connection. " . Th belief thst American troopers al ready were across tho line to watch at least on slds of the region in which Villa Is supposed to be operating, gained strength tonight In unofflcist circles. Press reports from the border tended to bear out Ihts view, but so fsr as Is known the War department was without con' flrmatlon. Border reports also indicated th possible mobilisation places of sev erst columns, but officers declined to discuss these, holding rigidly to the policy announced by Secretary Baker of giving General Funston every opportunity to ex. ecute a surprise attack. Reports from th three regiments of cavalry ordered to Join Funston's border army showed satisfactory speed was be ing made In getting the troop In action. Half of th command and all of. another wera rolling toward th border before sunaown tonight, eighteen hours after they received marching orders. Th rest will be in motion tomorrow morning. It was learned tonight that every agency of ths government that might furnish General Funston with Informa tion as to conditions in Mexico has been called upon to do lis share. Reports reaching any department that ml:ht throw light on Villa's whereabout are being forwarded promptly.

Wilson Asks House to Hurry Army, Navy and Tariff Bills WASHINGTON. March IS. president Wilson urged Speaker Clark and Major ity Leader Kttchln to speed up th army and navy bills, the tariff, Philippine and shipping bills, and other measures in ths administration legislative GURLEY FOR DELEGATE To the Republicans of the Second Con gressional District: Having filed as a candidate for dele pate from this Congressional District to the Republican National Convention (by this action submitting my name to be voted for for at the Republican Primaries, to be held April 18th), I take this opportunity to an nounce my candidacy in conjunction with my position as to the nominees of that con vention. If elected a delegate, I shall give my support to Charles E. Hughes and William E. Borah. If elected, I shall accept such election as an expression of preference from my constituency to that effect. The Republican Party can only win in the coming campaign by nominations which will draw together all hitherto warring factions. Even the casual observer of the political trend must recognize the ever increasing sentiment among Republicans everywhere for Charles E. Hughes. It is useless to attempt to account for it the feeling, deep and sincere, that his nomina tion will best meet the exigencies of the sit uation. Hughes, the most progressive of the conservatives; Borah, the most conserv ative of the progressives, in my judgment more nearly represent "the-rank-and-file" sentiment of the reunited Republican Party than any other two men. A vote for Ourley is a vote for Hughes and Borah. WILLIAM F. GURLEY. PART OF MONTEREY PRESIDIO BURNED Headquarter! Building; Destroyed Shortly After Troops Started for Border.
