SUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF FIELD ARTILCERY AND MACHINE GUNS Most Pressing Need Will be Horses to Mount Cavalry. ‘Washington, June 19.—Ample equip- ment of all-kinds is on hand at the various depots of the armp, Secretary Baker said today, to complete the out- fits of all the guardsmen called for service. ‘A sufficient supply of fleld artillery and machine guns and enough ammunition for any fighting that might oceur also is on hana. The most pressing need will be horses to mount all of tne nattonal guard cavalry and supply gun teams for the fleld batterles. The large ex- cess held in army remount stables for the needs of the regulars wil] ta.fl short of present needs by many thou. sands. Some of the states have pur- chased horses for their mounted troops and artillery. Officials are busy working out the number that must be supplies and the quickest way of securing them. Another step taken at the war de- partment today was preparation of or- ders calling out doctors of the medi- cal reserve corps to examine guards- men for muster into the federal ser- vice. The department will insist upon the high physical standards ol the regular army. In some states that al- ready required and there will be little delay.

GENERAL FUNSTON ANXIOUSLY STUDYING BORDER SITUATION For Indication of Hostility on the Part of Carranza Troops San Antonio, Texas, June 19.—While 100,000 members of the militia were being mobilized tonight, General Fun- ston_anxiously studied the border for any Indication of hostility on the part of Carranza’s troops. Officers com- manding patrols along the Rio Grande from Brownsville to E1 Paso, secured what information they could concern- Ing the movements on the Mexican side, both of bandits and government troops but no official report reached army headquarters here after any in- cident that appeared likely to disturb the delicately balanced relations of the two countries. General Pershing’s reports indicated that General Jacinto Trevino’s troops had not yet made any advance move and army officers believed it improba- ble that they would not unless Tre- vino received special orders from Mex- ico City.

Mr. McCormick arrived early today from his home in Harrisburg, Pa., and spent three hours with the president. Later he visited most of the members of the cabinet now in Washington and went to the capitol to see Congres- sional leaders who will take an im- portant part in the campaign. “I have begun my work and from now on will devote my entire time to pushing the democratic campalgn,” said Mr. McCormick tonight. “With a united and harmonious party the pros- pects for victory in November are very bright. The plans have not been put in shape yet, but I expect to see the president again in a few days and soon we will have everything in work- ing order.” Main Headquarters In New York. The main headquarters of the demo- cratic_national committee wil be in New York, but much of the work will be done here and in Chicago.

PERSHING’S CAVALRY I8 1S IN PURSUIT OF BANDITS Detachments Operating South West of Namquipa. and Columbus, N. M., June 18.—General J. J. Pershing, American expedition- ary commander, has cavalry detach- ments operating south and west of the Namquipa base in pursuit of bands of Mexican marauders, according to sev- eral reliable reports here today. It was asserted the General Pershing received reports of the presence of the bandits almost simuletaneously with General Trevino's warning that any movement of the American troops oth- er than toward the border would be considered a hostile act. Pending ad- vices from General Funston, it was said, he issued no orders to give chase until late yesterday. While some anxiety was expressed here over the move, it was believed that General Trevino will not seize up- on it as an excuse for attacking the detachments. It was pointed out that the movement is minor and in no way affects the general expeditionary campaign.

Y., June 19.—After a conference here tonight-with Theodore Roosevelt, United States Senator Hen- ry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts de- clared that he believed the former president would support Charles E. Hughes in the forthcoming campaign. “I_found Coloriel Roosevelt looking much better than I had expected,” said Senator Lodge. “Of course, we dis- cussed Mr. Hughes, but very little of Mexico.” “Will the. colonel support Mr. Hughes?” he ‘was asked. “That is my impression,” replied Senator Lodge.

Speaker Clark recalled that General John A. Logan resigned from congress i serve in the Civil war, but that General Blair’s resignation from con- gress was pocketed by President Lin- coln and_never was accepted. Jo- seph A. Wheeler, a major general in the Spanish war, resumed his seat in congress after the declaration of peace, but while serving with the col- ors drew no pay as a member.
