TO INVADE MEXICO

Nation on War's Brink, Militia Ready for Call. FUNSTON HASTENS ACTION Fear of Attack on Vera Cruz Leads War Experts to Advise President to Put Forces on Invasion Footing. Washington, May 9. War against Huerta and its accompanying invasion of Mexico is about to begin, in the minds of high officials here. Orders from the war department have prepared the governors of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio for a call for their state militia. Hospital headquarters have ordered recruiting at Governors island for field and evacuation hospitals and ambulance corps. Secretary Garrison is chartering six ships to use as army transports. This is in addition to the five transports already available at Galveston and means an immediate movement of the army on Mexico. Steamships in the Atlantic ocean and Gulf of Mexico have been chartered for transports and supplies are being loaded at Galveston for the movement In addition to a request for reinforcements. General Funston has asked the war department to send to him the Porto Rico regiment as first and most necessary reinforcement. The crisis was reached after an alinight conference of Secretary Garrison, his aids and army heads. When the cabinet met the situation, already strained to the limit by Huerta's thinly veiled ultimatum to evacuate Vera Cruz was laid before the president and his advisers. When the cabinet session ended tense faces and denials belied the assurances made that there was nothing new. Mr. Bryan was asked particularly what would be done to relieve General Funston's peril at Vera Cruz. His answer spoke volumes. He could not discuss the war department's business. Seek Data on Militia. Following this the announcement was made that Secretary Garrison was in charge of war plans. In connection with the military preparations for a possible forward movement, it became known that the officials of the war department have b(en in long-distance telephone communication with the governors of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio in an effort to determine how soon the militia organizations of those states could be mobilized and sent to the sea board for shipment in transports. It has been learned on high authority that the war department had under consideration an adequate reinforcement of the command of General Funston at Vera Cruz, to carry out any movement that might be necessary into the interior of Mexico. See Peril to Funston. The question of placing a large force of Americans in Vera Cruz that would be strong enough to defend that port against any attack or to undertake a possible campaign against Mexico City, was later laid before the president and his cabinet by Secretary of War Garrison. General Funston has asked the war department to send him the Porto Kico regiment as his first and most necessary reinforcement. General Funston has made observa tions as far as he could along the line of the Mexican railway and reports a very dangerous state of affairs if he should be called upon to advance to the Mexican capital. He reported to the department that the chief danger lay in his discovery that, by some one's orders, every tunnel on the railway has been mined. He also reported the presence of federal troops nearly everywhere along the route of the railway and roads parallel to the railway, by which he should have to advance. The continued absence of information concerning Vice-Consul John R. illiman. at Saltillo, believed to have been taken prisoner by the Mexican federals, added to the seriousness of the situation. One high government official summed up the state of af fairs with this remark: "There is going to be war in Mexico unless Btlllman ie found soon." Federal Army Faces Funston. Vera Cruz, May 9. Mexican federal forces confronting General Funston's little army have been increased to 20,000 men during the last twenty-four hours and have established a strong base at Jalapa. 47 miles from this city. They are under command of Gen. Rubio Navarette, who is fortifying the town. Reports of rapid movements by the Mexican troops, indicating that they were advancing their outposts toward Vera Cruz, caused uneasiness here to day. The American outposts, to which access has been unrestricted hitherto, are now barred to Mexicans. Photographers have been forbidden to approach the places where guns are located.

Rafael fturwttai, a Bl--.--.rd who has Just arrived from Mexico City, said today: "Huerta has selected .la la pa as the base against the Americans. General Navarette has fortified the city and aho Ceng ordo. where the Mexicans

Other refugees declare that Huerta is assmboling the greatest and most formidable force he has gathered since the Orozco revolt. U. S. Cruisers Seek Arms on Steamers. Washington. May 9. Admiral Badger has dispatched tho fast scout cruisers Birmingham and Dixie and a fleet of destroyers to intercept the shipment of arms for Huerta consigned to Puerto Mexico on two German steamships, according to an unofficial report at the navy department. It is stated that one of the German ships, the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, has already reached Puerto Mexico, but whether the munitions have been landed Is not known. If they have gone ashore the capture of the Puerto Mexico customs house will be necessary in order to seize the arms. As this will be a violation of the armistice with Huerta, seizure of the arms will be a war measure which will end the mediation proceedings. Whether this has been authorized in Washington is not known. 800 Federals Slain. Los Angeles, Cal., May 8 Eight hundred federals were slain by General Carranza's constitutionalists In a terrific battle near San Luis Potosi, according to advices received here by Adolfo Carillo, consul in Los Angeles for the constitutionalists. Similarly came advices to the effect that Mazatlan, a Huerta stronghold on the Pacific coast, was surrendered to the constitutionalists and the town of Acaponeta, after a terrific 24-hour batr tie, sent up the white flag after 1,500 federals had been captured. These advices, which came entirely from conf titutionalist sources, have been confirmed only in-so-far as they concern Mazatlan. There was no mention of the casualties at Mazatlan or AcapoTteta. but It was stated that the federal battleship Morelos is disabled and has been beached. A wireless dispatch from the TT. S. S. California reported that four persons were killed and eight were injured by the explosion of a bomb that was dropped into the streets of Mazatlan from a rebel biplane. Firing between the rebel and federal fortifications continues and in the artillery dul the besieging forces have had the better of it. Ten Americans Face Death. Vera Cruz, Mex., May S. One American and two British subjects have ben killed near Guadalajara, Mexico, and eight American ai.d British citizens are cut off by bandits in the same district and their fate is unknown. This information was received by Sir Arthur Spring-Rice, the English ambassador, from the Lritish vice-consul at Guadalajara. General Funston reported that under the authority given him by Secretary of War Garrison to extend his lines to the west of Vera Cruz as far as necessary, he has advanced his outposts about a mile beyond the pumping station. He has thrown up breastworks of sand bags and taken other precautionary measures. Admiral Mayo, at Tamplco. has Informed the navy department that he would have no trouble in taking Tamplco with his prent forces and it was learned that he has more than once hinted in his dispatches that it would be advisable to take such action. He has under his command, in addition to his flagship, the Des ! Moines, two cruiser and a torpedo boat f.eet of nine. Held for Slaying Man. Denver.' Colo., May 9. The police held Col. James C.

MISS WILSON WEDS

PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER IS BRIDE OF VV. G. M'ADOO EPISCOPAL CEREMONY USED. INTIMATE FRIENDS PRESENT Marriage Contrasts Sharply in Simplicity With That of Mrs. Sayre Nuptials in Blue Room of White House Mother Breaks Down. Washington, May S. Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, the youngest daughter of the President and Mrs. Wilson, was married at six o'clock last evening in the blue room of the White House to Secretary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo of New York, by Rev. Sylvester V. Beach of Princeton, X. J. The ceremony took place on a blue satii- covered dais erected in the south bay window of the blue room, and was over in ten minutes. Miss Wilson was the fourteenth White House bride and the fourth one to be married in the blue room. President Wilson gave his daughter's hand in marriage. The keynote of the ceremony was simplicity. The only guests aside from the Vice-Pres ident and Mrs. Marshall, the cabinet and their families were relatives and intimate friends of the bride and bridegroom. Differs From Sister's Wedding. The scene was in striking contrast to the last White House wedding of November 25, when Miss Jessie Wilson became the thirteenth White House bride of Francis Bowes Sayre, in the presence of a distinguished assemblage, including representatives from the diplomatic, official and social world. Mrs. Wilson wept openly while the brief ceremony was being read. Her evident grief at losing her youngest daughter distressed the president's wife greatly. Mrs. Wilson stepped back out of the view of her daughter, but as the bride repeated the marriage vows, she turned and looked past the bridegroom straight into the eyes of her piother, her eyee brimming with love and filial devotion. The eyes of mother and daughter met and clung and a look of fleeting distress passed over the bride's features as she noted the tears in her mother's eyes. Immediately after the wedding ceremony the new Mrs. McAdoo went straight to her mother's side and clasped her arms about her neck. They remained in each other's embrace for several seconds, the mother only releasing her hold in time to allow the president to embrace his daughter. In spite of the small list of invited guests the wedding presents were numerous. Beautiful Wedding Goton. The wedding gown worn by Miss Wilson is made of ivory-white satin and trimmed with real old point lace. The bodice is softly draped with satin, which crosses in front and is brought to a point below the shoulders, front and back. The V-shaped neck is finished with folds of soft tulle. The long mousquetaire sleeves are made of tulle. The real old point lace is gracefully draped over the right shoulder to the left side of the waist and is fastened with a spray of orange blossoms; the lace then continues as a border to the long transparent tunic of tulle, which graduates to the side of the skirt at the train. The sweeping train is three and a half yards in length. It is understood that after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo motored to" College Park, where they boarded the private car "Philadelphia," attached to the 8:10 B. & O. train from Washington to New York. The couple, it is understood, are either going to Irvington-on-the-Hudson or have decided to take the short honeymoon trip to Europe which they had originally planned. TWO WARSHIP PLAN ADOPTED House Passes Measure Presented by Naval Affairs Committee by Vcte of 201 to 106. Washington, May 8. Bj I vote of 201 to 106 the house adopted the twobattleship authorization and the other naval increase program presented by the naval affairs committee, and passed the bill. A provision is carried that one of the battleships shall be built in a government yard. It Is argued that the Brooklyn yard is the only navy yard equipped at the present time to turn out a battleship of the first-class type. One of the two new ships will be built at that yard. The house refused to authorize appropriations to equip the Philadelphia or the Mare island yards for the construction of the battleship A bitter assault on manufacturers of ! steel for armor and armament for ex- ' orbitant prices was made by Representative Fowler of Illinois at the close oLJhe debate on the bill.

BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS WILL ADJOURN IN JULY Whether Program for Trust Legislation and Rural Credits Is Passed or Not White House Meet Decides. Washington, May 7 Congress will adjourn July 10 whether or not the president's program for trust legislation and rural credits has been passed. This was decided upon at a conference at the White House between President Wilson, Senator Kern of Indiana and Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia. The Democratic leaders of the senate told the president that it was essential that they get away from Washington early in the summer; that there are a number of political fences which need repairing and that no legislative program should be allowed to stand In the way of the needs of the party. Senator Kern stated that, while the president desired the passage of trust legislation, rural credits and the canal tolls repeal, he recognized that the senate could not be expected to remain in session all summer. "We ought to get through with the tolls question in a couple of weeks," said Kern, "and we will do as much as possible before July 10. At that date we will quit." Declaring the fight against free tolls was due to the influence of Great Britain, the Carnegie plan of a "future United States of Great Pritain," the Canadian and American trans-continental railroads, and the shipping trust, Senator Bradley of Kentucky in the senate attacked President Wilson and the repeal bill. He charged Andrew Carnegie with working to obtafn a union of states in which England should be "first among equals," and the president with having insulted congress and the country. "This man Carnegie," he declared, "hand to hand with the ship-owning and trans-continental railroads and coterie that surrounds him, is attempting to persuade American citizens to surrender the sovereignty and honor of their country. "Repeal will be an acknowledgment of the criminal bad faith of congress, and an humble and servile surrender of the sovereign right to control our domestic concerns." T. R. WOULD GO TO LONDON Roosevelt May Cress Ocean to Answer His Critics in Person Over Discovery Claim. New York, May 9. The adverse criticism of the London press, following statements by Sir Charles Clements Markham on the question as to whether Colonel Roosevelt really discovered a new river in Brazil, has resulted in geographers in this city coming to the defense of their fellow countrymen, or at least counseling that that judgment be withheld until further d tails are received. Before sailing from Para for New York Colonel Roosevelt stated that he had sent a letter to the Royal Geographical society, in London, offering to deliver a lecture refuting the remarks of Mr. Savage-Landor. who said that the province of Amazonas lacked the germ of civilization.

Two sad love affairs have made life appear rather curdled, and she's about as cheerful as a jrainy day at the seashore. A rive-year-old grandniece is her one confidante, because she's the "only one who understands me." The other day at dinner, after casting a reproachful glanct- at the other members of the family, she murmured: "Yes, darling, I nevr thought enough of myself. I'm only now beginning to. I hope whin you grow up you'll think something of yourself." "Oh, auntie!" exclaimed the little one, "I don't have to wait 'till then, 'cause I think a uhole lot of myself now!" Young Love's Rivalry. The following conversation between two little girls, Agnes and May, Fix and seven years old, resp !, was overheard one day: Agnes accused May of having a lit tie playmate, John by name, for a "fellow."

Indigestion and the attendant discomforts of mind and body ar. certain to follow continued use of improper food. Those who are still young and robust are likely to overlook the fact that, as dropping water will wear a stone away at last, so will the use of heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause loss of appetite and indigestion. Fortunately many are thoughtful enough to study themselves and note the principle of cause and effect in their daily food. A K. Y. young woman writes her experience thus: "Sometime ago I had a lot of trouble from indigestion, caused by too rich food. I got so I was unable to digest scarcely anything, and medicines seemed useless. "A friend advised me to try GrapeNuts food, praising it hichly and as a last resort, I tried it. I am thankful to say that Grape-Nuta not only relieved me of my trouble, but built me up and strengthened my digf.- organs so that I can now eat anything I desire.
