f 100,000 Guardsmen Will Be Added to
Forces to Meet Possible 'Further
Aggression' ' Mexicans
Prepare for Attack
Machine Guns Placed at Neuvo Laredo, Near Line, While
Mexicans Flock- to uarranza standard, Aroused
by Wilson's Move Aid Dispatched to
Pershing's Forces
WASHINGTON, June 19. The reply of the United States to
fr the demand of General Carranza that the United States withdraw
its forces from Mexico has been sent forward to the head of the de
. facto Government in Mexico City. The text of the communication,
"Vhich specifically declines to meet the request of the "First Chief,"
will be made public here so soon as the department receives word
that it is in the hands of Carranza.
LAREDO, Tex., June 19. Manuel Garza Vigil, former editor
of a Mexican newspaper in this city, arrived today in Nucvo Laredo
with 16 three-inch field pieces and 200 artillerymen to reinforce the
Carranza garrison there.
it- SAN ANTONIO, June 19. General Funston said this afternoon
' that the National Guard would be mobilized in its respective States
m .ml thai its mcmbershiti would be sent to the border onlv when he
calls for the various State detachments. He added that it would
probably be some time before any of these troops reach the border.
LAREDO, Tex., June 19. Nearly one hundred Mexicans have
been deported within the last 48 hours. Tense feeling exists here
over the Mexican situation.
President Wilson, oidering the bulk ot the National Guard of tho United
.States mobilized for Mexican service, gives notice to First Chief Carranza
that he must recede from his present belligerent attitude or this country will
proceed to "clean up" Mexico.
Eespon&es aro pouring into the "War Department showing that the Presi
dent's order, issued late yesterday, is meeting with prompt response. Many of
the guardsmen are on the move to camp.
That attack from tho Mexicans is expected is indicated in this clause from
$e Pjqslenr'$ mdbilization order: "In view of the possible further aggression
Open the territory of the Unitqd States.."
s General Francisco Serrano, Mexican Chlef-of-Stnff, has reached Juarei,
irid if is believed he is preparing to lead the attack on the American forces.
Carranza troops in jargo numbers aro reported massing near El Vallo
ready to cut General Pershing's lines between Colonia Dublan and Nnmiquipa.
General Funston is rushing aid to Pershing.
Virtually 100,000 Guardsmon .will be added to the" forces along the border.
Action of Congress will be necessary before these troops can enter Mexico. Their
presence, however, will release 30,000 regulars now in border patrol. There aro
80,000 men now in service on the frontier.
Thero aro approximately G0.000 Carranza troops in Northern Mexico.
Additional units of the American fleet have been ordered to tho West and
East coasts of Mexico. Seven vessels of tho Atlantic contingent and the entire
Pacific squadron have orders to sail. Tho Mexican "fleet" is tied up in New
Orleans harbor.
Carranza forces are massing about Colonia Dublan ready to strike General
Pershing's forces there. All citizens arc being armed. Juarez, it is said, will be
evacuated.
General Pershing defied Carranza 's order that he not movo to the south,
east, or west, by sending out two sorties Sunday.
Ofllcidls Believe War Inevitable
WASHINGTON, June 10. Official cricles, with the possible exception
of President Wilson and Secretaries Lansing and Baker, this afternoon con-
lider war wth Mexico inlvitable. General Carranza is expected to force the
pksue' within tho next fqw days, possibly within the next few hours. This
& Government has sent its reply to tho Carranza note of May 22, in which .the
w?i cmer insqlently demanded tho withdrawal of the American punitive
.expedition into Mexico. It is n flnt refusal to eomnlv and in nririitinn wnrns
' ffie de facto Government against any overt acts of war.
lhe Administration has asked Congress specifically to authorize the use
f "the organized militia in Mexico. This action, cdngressional leaders declare,
ton be construed in Mexico'as tantamount to a declaration of war. They declare
that It simply emphasizes the extreme seriousness of the situation.
