WAR THREATENS
SATS PARKER ON
MEXICANBORDER
Commander of District of
Brownsville Says the
-Conditions Worse
than Ever.
VILLA STILL A FACTOR
Temper of the Americans
Is Becoming More
and More Im
? patient.
BROWNSVILLE. Tex.. Aug. 11. ?
In a sensational statement appearing
over the signature cr General James
Parker, In command of the Browns
ville district, and printed in the sec
ond issue of the "First Illinois Cav
alry," General Parker declares that
conditions in Mexico are woruo than
ever before, and that war still threat
ens, and prophecies the upbuilding
of a tremendous army for the Unit
ed States.
The statement was written to an
swer the question heard so frequent
ly among the soldiers on the border:
"What , are we here forf" In part
his statement follows: "In the first
place, this country was and is still
threatened by war.
Conditions Worst Ever
"The conditions on the other side
fo the Rio Grande are worse than
j they ever have been before. Villa
is still at large. He is likely to
i make another raid. The temper of
; the American people becomes more
I and more impatient. Unforscen sit
uations are constantly occurring and
some of there conditions may short
i Iv demand action.
"This is the greet- st step toward
l preparedness the United States has
: ever taken. We are training men.
and especially officers, for future
wars. We will need an Immense
army of millions of fighting men
and to train them we will need tens
of thousands of officers and non
commissioned officers or drillmas
! ters.
Large Army Necessary
"If It Is desired to exercise diplo
matic pressure the existence of a
large armed force is necessary. It
should he trained until It Is fit for
: fighting and should be drilled so
that when it goes Into battle Its fire
will be formidable.
"The fact that the weather is hot
j or wet. that the camps are dusty or
muddy." It continues, "prepares the
troops for the inevitable conditions
of a campaign and the hardships
that the troops may have to under
j KO."
May Call for Volunteers
The opinion was expressed by of
ficers in the Illinois camp that this
training of the militia regiments
was but a step toward the calling
? out In the near future of a huge
army of volunteers, whose officers

CANADA MAKES
BIG INCREASE
IN HER TRADE
Statement Is Issued by
Ottawa Government
Showing Remark
able Growth.
OTTAWA, Out., Aur. 11 Another
record-breaking trade statement has
been issued. It shows Increase of
more than SKI per cent. In the grand
total of Canadian trade for three
months of the fiscal year ending
Juno 20, the volume of trade on that
date had reached $527,512,344 against
$272,640,808 for the first quarter of
l'Jla.
The Increase has been pretty even
ly divided as between the two
branches of trade, the imports hav
ing risen from $98,017,187 to $186,
245,480, and the domestic imports
from $113,576,221 to $245,381,035. For
eign exports increased from $8,577,
775 to $66,989,732.
The June trade contributed largely
to the good showing for the financial
quarter, the increase in the trade to
I tal being from $127,402,516 in June,
1915, to $243,593,544 of this year.
The exports for the month show
very heavy increases in manufactur- i
es in agricultural and In mineral i
products.

COLBY FOR WILSON. 1
NEW YORK, Aug. 11. ? Bain
bridge Colby announced today that t
he will support Wilson in the fall
campaign. Mr. Colby nominated
Roosevelt at the Progressive na
tional convention.
HUGHES'ADDRESS
NOT EFFECTIVE
SAYS PRESIDENT
"Worse than Pussyfoot
ing and Complete Lay
down," Is View of
Administration.
CHARGES ARE ANSWERED
Criticism of President's
Policy May Prove
Helpful if Object
Accomplished.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1?(Special)
?Here In brief la the way political
Washington regards the acceptance
speech of Charles E. Hughes, Ilepub*
llcan candidate for the presidency.:
President Wilson and his cabinet?
Dry, flat and ineffective.
Democrats in Congress ? Disap
pointing and unimpressive.
Republicans in Congress ?Strong,
sound, dignified and constructive.
Wherever politicians met toduy the
one subject discussed was Mtv
Hughes' speech and the effect It
would have upon the voters. The
document was read this morning by
the President and members of his
cabinet and later discussed by them
at the usual Tuesday session.
"Worse Than Pussy-fcoting"
Postmaster General Hurlcson, who
is the political spokesman of the
administration, expressed the views
of himself and his collegues in the
following words:
1 lie spcecu is nunc man yuasjr
footing. It is a complete lay-down,
The people are tired of generalities
and expect candidates to tie speci
fic in their promises. .Mr. Hughes
does not say whut he would have
done in Mexico or what he will do
if elected. The speech suits Demo
crats all right."
The administration recognizes as
the weakest issue it will have to
face in the campaign is that of Mex
ico. Basically, it is pointed out, Mr.
Hughes' platform is that of Mr. Wil
son. Both are opposed to a policy
of aggression; both declare they
have no desire for Mexican territory,
and both wish peace in the neigh
boring country. J
Criticism May Prove Helpful
Mr. Hughes wants protection of
American life and property in Mexi
co and the security of our border
from depredations; Mr. Wilson, It is
pointed out, has been working pre- '
clsely for these things. Military In
tervention in Mexico, the administra
tion usserts, would intensify the hat
red of Mexicans for the United I
States and would be successful only i
at a heavy cost of life and treasure. I
The President has boen laboring to I
restore peace and order through the <
Mexicans themselves, and has been 1
endeavoring also to put an end to I
border raids. It is the belief of the f
president that of the commission of I
Mexicans nnd Americans to be ap- '?
pointed will develop an agreement I
between the two countries which will
esult In the early suppression ol '?
border raiders and the establishment I
of order in a large part of Mexico. <
If this can be accomplished by the
middle of October?and the President
Is confident It can be?adminlstra
lion supporters point out that Mr.
Hughes' present criticism will be
helpful rather that: hurtful.
Would Justify Course
It is not the intention of the Dent- I
ocrats to wait to see tho result of
the commission's labors before jus
tifying the President's policy with
the people. The greatest. Indeed, the
one argument, which will be dinned l
into the voters' ears, is that as a re- i
suit of Mr. Wilson's course the coun- I
try has been kept out of war.
It will be presented by the Demo
crats in the Senate and Hous?: by
officials of the administration, includ
ing members of the cabinet and So
licitor General Davis, and by the
President himself in the speech of
acceptance he will deliver immediate
ly after the a^Juornment of Con
gress.
Instead of being criticised for call
ing the National Guard into service
and stationing its various units along
the frontier, it will be asserted that
this was a wise move in the inter
est of peace.
