j WA.KIIIM1TON. March 7 An .rmy of
i approximately IO.O0O men, representlnc all
branches of the service. Is mohtllalnn alonir
tha Mexican border of the 1'nlted States.
It Is officially stated and the administra
tion made special efforts to substantiate
the statement that the sole purpose was
maneuvers on a Krand scale for the train
ing: of officers and men.
While every effort was made In official
circles here to itlve this great movement
the appearance of a simple preparation for
maneuvers there were persistent rumors
that the government was preparing for
more serious eventualities.
Confidential reports from Mexico of late
have encouraged the belief of many that
I conditions in the Mexican government are
far from being as satisfactory as official
assertions seek to Indicate. Immense for
eign Interests are at stake In Chihuahua,
for example, and the owners have been
very nneasy as to what would happen to
them in case of widespread disorders.
There was a report In Washington today
that urgent representations had been made
to the State department and unless the
I'nlted States government Immediately
made preparations to protect American
and foreign Interests in northern Mexico,
appeal would be. If it had not already been,
made to Great Britain.
The report could not be confirmed, but
It was simultaneous with the official an
nouncements that an army was already
concentrating within striking distance of
the border.
Utalrmrsl from White House.
The White House Itself gave out a state
ment after the meeting of the cabinet In
explanation of the massing of troops and
reading as follows:
"The War department Is mobilising a
division at full strength nt Ban Antonio,
Tex., for the purpose of field training of
officer and men, and for the further
purpose of holding matieuvera Involving
operations against Galveston. There will be
assembled at Galveston a force of three
regiments for the defense of that place
against theoretical attack by the navy.
"On the Pacific coast, the mobilization
wilt lavolve a btlgada of Infantry in the
Los Angeles district, for the purpose of de.
fending Kan Diego and Ban Pedro against
possible attack by the navy. The moblllza-
tlon of these troops will furnish an excel-
lent opportunity tor the instruction of a
number of senior officers In tha elements
of higher command. It will also put to a
practical test the preparedness of the staff
department for the mobilisation of troops."
Major General William H. Carter will
command the provisional division. '1 he
brigades at fan Antonio will be commanded
by Brigadier Generals M. P. Maus, F. A.
Smith and Ralph W. Hoyt.
"The troops at Galveston will be under
command of Brigadier General A. Ij. Mills.
"The troops In the Los Angeles district
will be commanded by Brigadier General
Tasker H. Bliss."
Troopa Ordered to Texas.
In detail the orders to the army provlle

GERMAN WARNING TO POPE
Chancellor Says Recent Decrees of
Curia Are Resented.
WANT PREVIOUS CONSULTATION
Tone of Speech Vnmlatakahle Ceu
eare of Martin I, other Taken aa
Attack on German Refor
mation. T3KR.LIN. ' Msivh T.t? o .narrh Ivefooe
the diet today, ChancrAor ym Hethmann-1
Hollweg admonished the curia that per
sistence In the recent tendenoy to the Is
suance of decrees affecting Germany, with
out previous consultation with the gov
ernment, would lead to retaliation.
The speech was cautiously and diplo
matically phrased, hut Its tone could not
be mistaken. The announcement that the
chancellor would discuss the relations of
the government with the Vatican, as thpy
had been affected by the pope's require
ment that theological professors take an
antl-modemism oath, served to fill the
hall as it has been but rarely filled In Its
history.
Prussia, the chancellor said, was sin
cerely desirous of maintaining the present
peaceful relations with the Holy See, so
long as such a course was consistent with
Its interests and prestige. He believed the
pope was of the Fame mind, but various
decrees of the curia had been Ixsued with
out that consideration for (Serman condi
tions which was Indispensable tn maintain
ing the friendly status.
He.ent Former Word.
The speaker cited as one of the objec
tionable measures the encyclicals Issued
In May last on the occasion of the tercen
tennial of the canonization of Charles
LioiTomeo. In these encyclicals the pope,
in extolling ilorromeo as the champion of
Catholicism against the Protestant re
formation, said that he established at the
time of the council of Trent that the prin
ciples of Catholicism had been undermined
by Martin L.uther. The chancellor referred
to this as an attack on the German re
formation. The chancellor announced that teachers,
taking the oath of anti-modernism would !
not be permitted In the future to teach
history or German In the middle schools.
The government likewise, he said, would
consider the matter of the oath-taking
when filling other state posts. He con
cluded with the warning that if the Vat
ican continued to Ignore the representa
tions of the Prussian minister at the Holy
See such action might lisvolve the aboli
tion of the legation.

Frenchman Wins Special Michelin
Prize of Twenty Thousand for
Trip to Pny de Dome Summit.
CLERMONT-FERRAND, France, March
". Aviator Renaux, flying at St. Cloud
today, landed on the summit of Puy-de-Douie
at 2:30 o'clock, winning the special
Michelin prise of J20.000.
The airman made the trip In five hours
and eight minutes. He made a stop of
seventeen minutes at Nevers.
Starting at 8elno-et-Oise, he first circled
the Arc de Trlomphe In Paris and then
shot away for this place, where he made
a turn about the spires of the cathedral, a
few moments later alighting on the moun
tain top 4.Si)0 feet above the sea. The dis
tance traveled, as the crow flies. Is 217
miles.
Renaux used a Farman biplane and was
accompanied by M. Senoucque.
A vast crowd witnessed the Frenchman's
triumph nd became almost delirious with
Joy. Renaux stated that he had an easy,
magnificent flight In beautiful weather.
In trying for the prize, the conditions of
which, when announced, were generally
thought to have made It almost unat
tainable, leon Morane fell last October
and his leg waa broken.

DEALERS FIGHT CATALOG MEN
Nebraska Retailers Endorse the Pub
licity Bill at Lincoln.
OPENING SESSION IS LIVELY
Members of the Federation Come to
Omaha In I, arse Numbers aad
Arc Moat Enthanlaatlo
Over On t look.
How heat to meet and defeat the big
catalogue house waa the chief concern of
the opening session of the fifth ' annual
convention of The Federation of Nebraska
Retailers at the Rome hotel Tuesday morn
ing. Discussion on the ' subject was ani
mated. -', Though no action was taken, It
seemed to be the concensus of opinion
that the only way to meet this character
of competition was by putting the retail
business of tho Btate upon a cash basis,
Just as Is all mail order business.
Another thing discussed with great free
dom was the proposition of wholesalers
selling lines of groceries to meat markets,
hotels and restaurants. It was suggested
that where thla Is done, and the goods not
placed for retail sale, the local merchant
should report same to" the federatln and
the whlesale houses thus offending cut out.
Seaalon Opena with glnglnif.
The session was opened by the singing
of "America." Rev. Thomas J. Mackay
offered prayer and was followed by Mayor
Dahlman, who extended the keys of the
city to the retailers. David Cole, president
of the Commercial club, delivered an ad
dress of welcome. This wag responded to
by M. A. Hostetler, treasurer of the fed
eration. He sold while in Omaha some
time ago at the Land show he heard an
enthusiastic bunch of boosters from Idaho
singing, "Idaho, My Idaho." lie said he
thought it would be only fitting If the con
vention should rise as a man and sing
"Omaha, My Omaha." lie said the rapidity
with 'which wholesalers in Omaha filled
mall orders was a marvel to all. It was
rare, he said, that an order was not
shipped the day of arrival, arriving at its
destination many times as quickly as
though coming by express.
After the reports of the secretary and
treasurer, Fred Dlers, president of the
Federation delivered his annual address,
which was laden with suggestions aud
recommendations for the strengthening of
the federation.
A resolution offered by C. E. Blenert of
Wymore and seconded by M. A. Hostetler
of Shelton, recommending the passage by
tha legislature of a publicity bill, calling
for ths appropriation of S26.000 to adver
tise the resources and facilities of the
state was unanimously adopted. Copies of
the resolution were at once wired to the
members of the legislature.

Details of the Vote.
The Initiative and referendum bill was
first on the list of bills for third reading
and was taken up soon after ths morning
session began. The first roll call stood
fifty -seven to forty. Hushee changed Im
mediately making It fifty-eight to thirty
nine. The call of the house was begun and
llospodsky nf Saline was the first ab
sentee to appear. He voted Aye, making
the record fifty-nine to thirty-nine. Nel
son of Dodge, changed from aye to nay
and the vote for fifty -eight to
forty. Gerdes moved to raise the call
but was defeated by a vote of fifty-six to
thirty-six. Soon after that while ths
members were standing around In llttl
groups and the wets were making a des
perate effort to hold their phalanx of
opposition Intact Doestal changed and
Kotouc followed shortly after. That set
tled the fate of th bill.
The opposition explained ths Inconsistent
attempt to kill the Initiative and referen
dum bill with the assertion that the senate
bill Is better as it stands and the house
bill changes were beginning to come In,
proving that only a fw dared to remain
on record against the principle. Rev. P.
C. Johnson, member from Johnson county,
shouted out. "While the lamp holds out to
burn, the vilest sinner may return."

the opposition was coming almost entirely
firi tlit wet democrats. There were only
five republicans in the forty and no votss
at the start. They were Prince, Nutzman,
Haller Eager and Clark. Th schema that
has been brewing for the last few days
to pledge a number of democrats to kill
th house bill and then emasculate the sen
ate bill, fell through because the demo
crats failed to hang together.
The house took up the question of ths
senate bill aa soon as ths house bill was
passed, and on motion of Gerdes of Rich
ardson the chairman of ths constitutional
amendments committee was Instructed to
report the bill out Immediately, and It was
made a special order of business for tomor
row morning. The end of the fight Is not
yet disclosed as ths senate must take up
the house bill and It would not be Strang
If It were killed there. A conference com
mittee will be tbs next step to reach a
compromise.
t'oaatr Option' BUI Defeated.
County option failed In th house tbia
morning by one vote. As soon as ths Initia
tive and referendum was out of th way
county option came up and the house pro
cteded to vote upon It without debet.
The first roll call showed 19 votes for It
and 4H against It. A call of the house
brought In Clarke of Cherry, who voted
aye, malting the total S Oto IK. It was evi
dent to everyone that ast he two ab
sentees, Regan and Sanborn, are declared
wets a call of the house would he of no
avail and the bill was given up. Fifty-one
votes would have carried it. The repub
licans who voted against It were Eager of
Incater, Haller of Washington, Hasik
of liutler, Nutzman of Cass and Prince of
Hail. The final roll call stood:
Ayes:
