F i ‘Phe regiments of regular infantry ordered to the border are the Thir- Weth Infantry, now at Plattsburg, N. ¥.; tho Third Infantry, at Madison Barracks, divided between Watertown and Oswego, N. Y.; the Tweaty-fi | Infantry, at Vancouver Barracks, and two battalions of the Fourteenth In- fantry, ons located at Fort Lawton, near Seattie, Warh., and one at Bpo-| kane, Wash. By drawing the two regiments from Plattsburg and Madison Barracks the War Department has made it neces- sary to draw upon other sources for sufficient troops to patrol points along the Canadian border. Cavairy will be sent to Plattsburg from Fort | Ethan Allen and Gen. Wood, it is de- | elared, will send enough troops, prob- | ably drawing on coast artillery, to put a sufficient at Madison | Barracks. Although | Secretary there was no present intention of | calling out the militia of other Btates, it is understood that, as a} Precautionary measure, at least sup- | plies and ammunition are being mo- | bilized on the border for a large force | f militia to be drawn from addi- | tional States. CALL FOR GUARDS AUTHORIZED BY DICK LAW. The Netional Guardamen ore or- Gered out under the Dick Law, au- thorizing their service anywhere in the United States, but not beyond the border, Under that law every man mrolied in the regiments who is Physically able may be forced to werve. If service beyond the border ‘were contemplated the regiments would be mustered into the Federal ‘vervice as volunteers, and it would be optional with the men whether or not they would serve, According to the last reports to the ‘War Department the Arizona Guard composed of eleven companies of infantry, with a total of 66 officers ind 806 men, The New Mexico Guard is composed of one battery of field artillery, lo- cated at Roswell, and a regiment of infantry, The total enroled strength is 62 officers and 908 men. The Texas Guard consists of one field hospital, four squadrons of cav- alry, one battery of field artillery and three regiments of infantry. The total force is 181 officers and 2,966 men. The grand total enrollment of this force in October, 1915, according to these figures, was 299 officers and 4,670 men. Because of border conditions offi- Cials here feel certain that the force will be increased a third or more in the course of the next few days, Gen. Obregon's attitude on the withdrawal of American troops be- came known through despatches from Gen. Scott, It was learned authori- tatively that Obregon refused yester- day to sign the protocol agreement al- ready approved by President Wilson, The conference situation waw fur- | ther complicated by official advices from Mexico City saying Gen. Car- ranza had agreed to the protocol, Gans. Scott and Obregon expect to have one more conference at least. ‘This will determine whether they can each any terms acceptable to the ‘United Stat At that conference it fs likely the Mexican terms will be put in writing.
