Washington, June 24.—Representa- tive John Q. Tilson of Conn., a lieu- tenant-colonel in the national guard of that state, has not decided exactly what course it will be necessary for him and other soldier congressmen to pursue in regard to the calling out of the militia to do patrol duty at the border. Colonel Tilson would like to go with the troops to the border, but would, of course, dislike to resign from congress to do so, which seems the only way under the Constitution N .\\'hich he could remain with his regiment. As long as the militia remain only state troops the status of Mr. Tilson and the other soldier congressmen is simple, but the moment the militia are mustered in as troops of the United States. Colonel Tilson and the others in the same predicament would run foul of the Constitutional pro- vision which provides that no man may hold any office under the United States and at the same time hold the | office of senator or representative in | congress. “I want to g0 with my regiment,” said Congressman Tilson this morning !"and I shall certainly go if T can do so without As 3 resigning from congre: member of the Committee itary Affairs, resignation from congress is too serious a step to take at this time, when it is still doubtful just how ser- ious our difficulties with Mexico will be. The course that I shall probably pursue is to be placed on the reserve list, so that in case the matter be- in fact— T shall be in a position to enter the army again with my present rank— even though I have to my place in congress to do so. For the present, however, I think my work on the committee on Military Affairs will be even more important than thar with my regiment and I shall remain here until T see how the situation shapes itself. If the war becomes ser- on however, T feel that lious, we shall certainly need officers as well as men. and as an officer on the reserve list I shall be prepared to go in whenever it becomes appar- ent that we need more men “It is unfortunate it seems to me that there is such a provision in the Constitution as that which prevents members of congress from serving in the arm It is there, however, and I fear it is something that even con- gress cannot correct.” sacrifice | JAPANESE SCARE 15 GALLED ABSURD | | | 1 Baron Ishi Says His Gountry Will Not Assist Mexico ; Tokio, June 24.—"Of course, any ‘(‘l:\\nl that the Japanese government will assist Mexicans with munitions and arms is out of the question and absurd,” said Baron Ishii, foreign min- | ister ,to a correspondent of The | ciated Press, who asked him for his views on the Mexican situation. The interview was sought on account of declarations attributed to Mexicans that assurances had been received from Japan that munitions and other assistance would be given to Mexico in the event of war with the United States, | “As for p: e companies ate Japane selling arms to Mexicans,” the foreign minister continued, ““I consider it ex- | tremely improbable.

Never Heard of Baron Ishii expressed surprise and muystification when the correspondent referred to General Ramon Tturbe, 2 representative of General Carranza, who was reported several weeks ago to be on his way to Japan on a secret mission. The Baron declared he nev- er had heard of General Tturbe, or his projected visit. He explained that he regarded the Carranza governmen e de facto gove nent of Mexi nd that the usual relations with Gen- eral Carranza were being maintained Japan's interests in Mexico, he said, were under charge of Secretary Ohta formerly attached to the Japanese em- hington. He said he hassy at Wz ac received no advices from Secretary Ohta in regard to the present situa- tion. Colonel Manuel Romern, re- cently appointed minister to Japan hy General Carranza, has reached this country, hut has not had an audience with the emperor and the baron said it was impossible to state when he would be received in audience. Any idea that the Japanese government was interfering in the Mexican situa- tion, he declared was as absurd as the idea that munitions were being supplied M. C. Tellez the Mexican charge, in an intervi asserted empHatically that the ) an government had or- dered no arms or munitions in Japan, and that no negotiations for such sup- plies were under way. He was con- vinced Francisco Villa was making no purchases here, as he had no agent in Mexico and, furthermore, would not be able to land munitions on Mexican soil because the coast was under the control of General Carranza. Senor Tellez sald he all | available Japanese arms had been sold | to Russia.
