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 : would be chosen from among the CANADA MAKES BIG INCREASE IN HER TRADE Statement Is Issued by Ottawa Government Showing Remark able Growth.

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.
