EVEN THE MESSENGER BOYS CATCH THE MILITARY FEVER
PERSHING AGAIN DEFIES CARRANZA
AND SCOURS COUNTRY FOR BANDITS
EL PASO, Juno 20. Brigadier General
John J. Pershing, commander of the United
Btates troops In Mexico, has dolled Ven
usttano Carranza In deeds ns well as words.
Desplto Carranza's warning that the
American commander must not movo any of
his troops In any direction except toward
tho United States border, Ilrlgadlor General
Pershing has detailed nevoral detachments
to Btrlke out from Namlqulpa In pursuit of
bandits who nro operating In that district.
Receipt of tho news of General Pershing's
action was followed hero by a wave of In
tense Interest as to what nctloi would bo
taken now by General Jacinto Trovlno. tho
Mexican general through whom Carranza
Issued his warning.
N'amlqulpa is General Pershing's south
ern base of operations, and his prompt
action was mndo Imperative by tho pos
sibility that tho bandits wcru trying to
break his lines of communication.
Tho United States troopers who were sent
out In pursut of the Mexican outlaws were
said to havo started in a westerly and
southerly direction.
Tho territory toward which tho United
States cavalrymen nm riding is believed
tn contain from 12.00H to 17, inn rnrtiui
zlsta Soldiers, stationed between Nnnilqulp.i
nnd Madera.
tivon should tho hot-hended Mexican gen
erals precipitate hostilities without orders
from Mexico City, it Is regarded ni certain
that Urlgadler General Pershing's force
roulil take cnio of Itself. There ore enough
supplies at N'ninlqulpa for a month, and
the United States forces could stand slcgo
for that long even if the Mexican troop
got botween them and tho border.
Tho Mexicans now have about 1200 cav
alrymen In Juarez, In addition to Infantry.
They havo some artillery nnd a numhor of
machine guns.
Tho Mexican military authorities In the
northern States have commandeered vir
tually all the food. Thus, while tho army
Is well supplied, the civilian populaco Is on
tho verge of starvation. One of tho objects
of General Alvaro Obrcgon In taking this
nctlon. It was said, was to force Mexicans
Into the army.
Tims, the famine situation, which was
ery had before, has now become ncuto in
nil of the States of northern Mexico.
MOVE TO EJECT AMERICAN FORCE
MEANS FIGHT; IT'S UP TO CARRANZA
WASHINGTON, Juno 20. General Car
rtinza. must make the next movo. Tho
United States, under no circumstances, will
change Its present attitude toward Mexico.
If Carranza Is willing to accept the position
assumed by the Administration and curb
his war-anxious forces, all may be well.
But any attempt to eject tho American
troops now In Mexico from their positions
or to Interfere with their efforts to capture
and kill tho bandit raiders will bo sternly
punished.
This Is tho position of tho United States.
Mobilization of the organized militia was
being hurried In overy way. General Pun
ston has disposed of his forces along the
bordor so that points against which any
general attack might bo planned aro pro
tected. FLEETS AltE HEADY.
Tho Atlantic nnd Pacific fleets nro pro
pared for Immediate call at their goneral
stations. On signal they cun movo nt onco
to blockade every Mexican port. The ves
sels of the coast guard service, with steam
up and all crews aboard, aro waiting orders
to assist in the blockade and act as general
assistants to the fleet.
A call for volunteers in the navy and tho
fitting out of mor.o vessels for blockading
the coast of Mexico, If that 'nctlon becomes
necessary, was decided upon at a conference
between President Wilson, Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, Senator Tillman and Senator
Swanson, both of tho latter members of tho
Senate Xaval Affairs Committee.
"Wo are going to begin recruiting imme
diately and expect to fit out a number of
additional vessels because of the Mexican
situation," said Secretary Daniels ns he left
the White House.
There Is no disguising the fact that the
nation Is preparing for war.
Hardly an official entertains the slightest
hope that Carranza and his followers will
accept the viewpoint of the United States.
And tho first Hhot that now is fired by
Carranzlsta soldiers at an American sol
dier or tho first organized raid across the
border permitted by the Carranzlstas will
be tho signal for Immrdlato reprisals by
this Government, ofllclnis Kay.
Tho reply of this Government to the Car
ranza demand of Mav 22 that tho United
States withdraw Its troops from Mexican
soli was sent to Carranza today. Officials
say that the note refusing to withdraw
United States troops must preclpltato tho
long-expected crisis. They no longer con
strue tho belligerent utterances of General
Cairanza and General Obrcgon as for
"homo consumption" or blulf. Their open
threats are believed to Indicate their
planned course of action. And It is made
plain here that if the hand of the United
States Is forced by an attack from Car
ranzlutas soldiers, those responsible will be
pursued, no matter where they may retreat.
Administration olllclals mado it plain that
they would differentiate between Cairanza
and his followers and tho Mexican people
should intervention bo forced. It Is under
stood to bo tho plan to strike sharply and
decisively If It shall bo demonstrated, as is
generally feared, that force must be used,
against the Carranzlsta troops, nnd then tho
United States will establish a Government
under Its own protection which can bo de
pended on to renew constitutional rulo In
every way.
TO HUSH J1AY BILL.
It was tho Intention of tho Congresslona'
leaders to rush through Congress the resolu
tion specifically giving tho President au
thority to uso tho National Guard "on
foreign soil." This resolution now Is being
prepared by the legal experts of tho War
Department and will be passed by both
houses, leaders say.
Captain Commandant K. P. Bertholf, of
the coast guard, said all of the 4000 men
and 20 vessels under his command were
leady for blockading duty ho soon ns
ordered to commence work by Secretary of
the Navy Daniels
"All we need is a telephone message out
lining our stations," said Captain Bertholf.
The cutters have large reservo supplies of
munitions and guns stored at tho Gulf
stations ready for u.se.

PRESIDENT'S REPLY ON WITHDRAWAL
MEXICO CITY. June 20. The Mexican
capital awaits with tense Interest the ar
rival of the American note. Arrangements
have been made to flash a digest of its
contents to all Important cities of tho Re
public as soon as It can be' translated.
No responsible official would comment on
advance reports of tho nature of President
Wilson's reply. Officials generally ex
pressed tho hope that the United States
would meet 'fully General Carranza's de
mand for a withdrawal of the American
forces, or at least express a willingness
to negotiate for their early retirement.
Publication of lengthy dispatches report
ing that President Wilson mobilized the
National Guard only to protect the border
has created a good Impression here on
the other hand certain Mexican leaders
havo openly questioned President Wilson's
good faith, asserting that the presence of
heavy artillery with General Pershing's
army is proof that tho object of the ex
pedition was not the suppression of
banditry, but the conquest of Mexican ter
ritory. Patriotic demonstrations, begun at noon
yesterday, continued until nn early hour to
day Tho military patrolled the principal
streots to prevent anti-foreign outbreaks.
Laborers, employers, clericals, students
and thousands of women and children nar-
tlclpated In a great parade ending before
the national palace, Addressing a great
gathering In the afternoon, General Car
ranza reiterated his previous assertions
that he did not seek war with the United
States, but would not refuse to fight If war
Hero thrust upon him.
U. S. SOLDIERS IN MEXICO
SLEEP ON ARMS; "PREPARED"
COL.UMUUS. N. M-, June 20. Truck
drivers returning' from General Pershing's
base at Casa. Grandes i-ay that the Amer
ican forces In Mexico are sleeping on their
arms and that they are ready for any
emergency,
General Pershing is taking every precau
tion to provent a clash with Carranza troops
on account of some trivial Incident. Detach
ments which for the last few weeks hae
been operating within a few miles of tho
camps of the troops of the de facto Govern
ment have been withdrawn, while scouting
patrols have been ordered to ride their ter
ritories with extreme caution.
AH of the soldiers of tho American com
mand have been warned to exercise great
care In distinguishing bandits from Mexi
can soldiers. Close watth is being main
tained on lines of communication and upon
passes through which troops might make
theJr way over the Sierra., Mudre from
Sonora.
Ever" effort Is being made to finish build
ing a permanent road from Columbus to
the base before the rainy season starts in.
General Pershing got a set-back a few days
age, when the Mexican laborars on the road
threw dpwn their picks and shovels and re
fused to work for the "grlngoes." They
also assert that they fear reprisals from
their own people for aiding the Amei leans.
General Pershing's report Indicate that
General Jacinto Trevino's. troops have not
yet made any advance move, and ajmy of
ficers believed it Improbable that they
would unless Trevino received special orders
from Mexico City.
Such Information as reached General
Funston cunuerning the movement of Mex
ican troops Indicated the adoption of a
plan net to maintain heavy garrisons at
border points, but to hold the bulk of the
border army some miles south of thu Kk
Grande
The garrison at N'uevo Laredo, Mexico,
was strengthened by a mtr handful of
men. but at Lampazos, betweeji Laredo and
Mor.tercy. MM or 6000 troops were held
T&e garrison at Laredo last night was under

Concentration of heavy forces to the
south of Juurez also was reported. The
only point where concentration at a border
town was being effected was at Ojinaga,
opposite Presidio. Xot more than' 600 men
are stationed there, but the American force

BODY OF BOY DROWNED

Neighbors of Dead Lnd Blame
City Officials' Carelessness
for Tragedy
WASHINGTON, June 20. The
Americans remninini; in Mexico City
will be in grave danger should a break
occur between the de facto Govern
ment and the United States. Consul
General Itodgcrs today telegraphed the
State Department that, he could not
get them through to Vera Cruz on a
special train as planned- The Zapatista
bandits arc in strong force along the
railroad at present, Hodgers says, and
it would be extremely dangerous to try
to get through their lines.
EL PASO, Tex.. June 20. State Depart
ment attaches when they( reached tho border
on their way out of Mexico estimate that
thero still aro approximately -1000 Amer
icans south of the Illo Grande. Many of
theso nro expected to come out this week,
According to best available figures,' thero
arc 1200 Americans In Mexico City, 500 In
Chihuahua. 800 In Tamplco, 300 in vCaea
tecas and 1500 In Sonora.
Warnings to leave tho country continue to
be tent out dnlly by attaches of tho de
partment. Umploycs of the Montezuma Copper Com
pany, who h.ie arrived at Douglas, Ariz.,
report that about C3U Americans are being
held prisonous in Cananea by a mob of
20,000 Mexicans the .Mexicans nave noi
menaced the Americans with death, but
refused to permit them to leave, so that the
copper mines could continue In operation
and Mexican laborers would not bo thrown
out of work.
This state of affairs has been explained
to General Pellas Calles, Military Governor
of Sonora, who promised to send a train
with picked troops to enable the Americans
to reach the border.
South of Nacozarl about 100 Americans
are trying to reach the border.
Fresh outbursts of nntl-Amerlcnn feeling
were reported today in Durango and
Chihuahua, which seem to be the hotbeds
of antl-Americanlsm. A dispatch from
Douglas says the Mexican consulnte In that
town has been closed. It was explained
by the Mexican olllclals that this was not
due to fears of war, but because tho United
States consulate in Nogales, Sonora, had
been closed.

He has In turn been Minister of Agri
culture, Finance and Public Instruction.
Tho Pennsylvania National Guard, tho
second largest in tho country, with a quota
of nearly 12,000 men, does not possess a
hlnglu machine gun, called by military ex
perts one of the most essential weapons In
modern warfare.
The lack of theso weapons puts tho Guard
under n great handicap, as they aro used
with tolling effect by every nrmy In'nurope.
Military observers havo estimated that three
men with a machlno gun, situated In a
favorable placo. could hold a body of 200
or more troops at bay. Machlno gun com
panies nre among tho strongest malnstnvs
In tho German army, as well as any other
nrmy.
Tho fact that tho PennsvU-nnin rc,in-i i,na
no machlno guns In Its equipment was not
generally known outsldo of the Guard Itself.
In fact, tho men themselves did not reallzo
the deficiency until brought faco to face
with tho possibility of warfare with the
Mexicans, who, according to reports, Viro
well equipped with tho weapons.
Tho guard to be fully equipped should
have four irons to a mmnnnv mnirim. to
a regiment. Thero are three regiments In
tho 1st Brigade, located In Philadelphia,
making In nil 114 machine guns which tho
guard should havo In Philadelphia alone,
according to military experts, to rank as
a competent military organization.
Olllcers of the guard said thut It would
be hard to place tho responsibility for tho
failure to furnish tho troops with the guns.
A year ago tho War Department offered the
guns to the State troops through Governor
Brumbaugh, but as Congress at tho time
was debating on tho advisability of sup
planting the Guard with another organiza
tion nlong different lines. Governor Brum
baugh held that tho Stato should not spend
any money until the status of tho Guard
was determined.
Olllcers Bald today that the guns may be
obtained after July 1, when the new army
bill becomes effective, but even then It Is
uncertain.

SCAUEI) 3IEXICANS, IiN FUflHT
TO U. S., HALTED BY OBREGOK
Troops at Border Stop All Refugees
beeking Haven
EL PASO, Juno 20. An abrupt ending
of the stream of Mexican refugees, which
has been flowing ncrosa the border Into
tho United States at many points, was
brought about yesterday by an order of
General Obregon, Mexican Minister o'f War.
Mexican troops today, at every crossing
of the nio Grande, nro turning back all
able-bodied Mexicans who seek to escape
from their country. Hundreds already have
been stopped. It Is the -belief here that
the order foreshadows fjeneral Obregon'a
Intention, In the event of war, of drafting
Into tho army every Mexican capable of
bearing arms.
Notwithstanding General Obregon's ordir,
the Juarez authorities yesterday permitted
about 500 half-btarvod peons, who had just
come In from Southern Chihuahua, to cross
to Kl Paso In search of work. It is under
stood this course was tnken because there Is
no food to spare In Juarez, and detaining
the men would havo meant sheer starvation
for them.
EAT A LOT OF ICE CREAM
Seventy-two thousand egga and 22,000
pounds of butter wore Included In tho con
tracts recently awarded by tho Doard of
City Trusts for Glrnrd College, where 1D25
boys aro now onrolled. But that quantity
Is ordered for only the next three months.
Some Idea of the great quantity of food con
sumed by tho boy nt tho college Is con
tained In tho fact that In a slnglo year
they cat 217,812 eggs nnd 54,108 14 pounds
of butter.
Tho largest slnglo Item, however. In tho
steward's list Is milk. Cllrard Collego boys
drink lots of milk. In ono year they drank
108,380 quarts, representing nn expenditure
of $35,080.51, which was nn Increase of
about 70 per cent, over the consumption
tho previous year.
Theso statistics do not include tho Ice
cream consumption. Ten thousand ono hun
dred nnd fifty-three quarts of Ico cream
wero eaten In 1911, representing a finan
cial outlay of $3214.07, or more than 100
per cent, more thnn was spent for this
dainty In 1913.
The steward's list contains practically
everything In tho category of foods, even
tea, tho uso of which by tho younger boys
has been discontinued. That fact explains
the largely Increased consumption of milk,
which also Is frequently used for tho mld
mornlng school lunch for the boys In the
primary department.
Food for the collego costs $188,933.50.
This Includes the cost of maintenance of
tho olllcers' nnd employes' tables. As com
pared with the previous year, thero Is an
Increaso of $37,173.09. The average number
of boys maintained during tho year was
1550, tho per capita cost of subsistence sup
plies being $121.12.
Tho increaso of nearly 25 per cent, over
1913 Is duo to a number of causes, chief
among them being tho dietitian, who makes
a careful study of what Is best for boys to
eat. His report is always accepted and tho
diet Is constantly reaching a higher stan
dard. Hera are tho quantities of somo com
modities purchased yearly:
Almonds and other nuts, 2723 pounds.
Beef chucks, 97,694 pounds.
Corned beef, 48,028 pounds.

MUX ICO CITY, June 20
Oenoral Vcnuatlano Carranza, In an In,
tcrvlow, declared to this correspondent!
"I havo ordered tho military leaders of
our forces nenr tho bordor not to permit
tho further passing 'of any American
forces Into Mexican territory, if they
attempt to pass they will ho attacked by
Constitutionalist forces. Tho Instruo
tions given by -General Trovlno to Gen
eral Pershing not to advanco further
wero Issued by mo to tho War Depart
ment, which transmitted thorn n n- ."
Trovlno."
Tho First Chief was very strong n
his statement .hat tho first a,.i
expedition was not nn attempt to catch
uunuiis,
"III spite of friendly words," said tho
General, "thero has been no real co-operation
on the part of tho Americans. Tho
taking of heavy cannon and all tho Im
pedimenta for n campaign Into Mexico
was not for bandits only. Tho Mexican
pcoplo, who hnvo watted patlontly for
threo months, believing In tho words of
tho United States, now believe that thess
words were not sincere, nnd aro becoming
Indignant."
Tho First Chief repeated that Mexico
does not want war, and that no attempt has
or will be mado by Mexico to cross Into the
United States.
Hut ho stated: i
"Tho soverolcnty of Mexico must bo re
spected. "Wo will resist nny attempt at In
vasion. Wo aro weak, white the Unite!
States Is strong, but wo will fight until the
last."
Minister of Foreign Relations AgulUr
stHtcd to this correspondent:
"Wo do not want war. Wo nro trying to
control our people, whose temper Is rising'
rapidly. They will not tolerate the prcs
pneo of American troops In Mexico any
longer. Today they nro peaceful, yet full
of Indignation. Tomorrow, perhaps. It will
be Impossible to restrain them. The United
States will be to blame, as tho Mexican
peoplo havo waited patiently for tho retire
ment of the American troops. The entire
country has protested against the presence
of foreign troopi upon our soli. If war
comes wo will try our utmost to protect,
all foreigners here."
During a demonstration hero tho Ameri
can consulato was stoned. Tho stoning
occurrod while Vice Consul Itowe was in the
building nnd only ton minutes after Special
Representative Itodgers had loft the place.
Mr. Itodgers has rotcsted against the ston
ing. tleneral Carranza delivered the following
ppeech hero beforo several hundred stu
dents who called on him to offer their
services In enso of war with tho United
States.
"NOT SO .UUAVE."
"Regarding tho International situation,
It affords mo satisfaction to Inform you
that conditions aro not as serious ns 'we
Judged yesterday. Tho American troop
that crossed the border near Matamoros
retired after an unimportant engagement
with General lllcnut's troopB. Up to now
thero has occurred no now Incident to ng
grevato tho situation and I repeat It is
not so grave as it was .In the beginning.
"It Is Impossible for mo to forecast what
will be the outcome, for that depends upon
the United States, not upon us. We have
no desire to participate a war, but If, un
fortunately, wo aro obliged to enter Into
an unequal contest I am confident that ws
all know how to comply with our duty, end
wo will perish beforo wo see our national
territory conquored. .
"If, unfortunately, wo engage In war, you
who are young probably will survive and
continue' to fight on to regain our Inde
pendence, In tho event it should be lost
temporarily.
OBREGON'S "UNIQUE" PLAN.
General Obrcgon spoko as follows:
"In all contests of honor the contestants
first take tho measure ot their arms. In
order that they may bo able to fight on
equal terms. If the United States desired
to defend Its honor, unuuestlonably It
should take tho samo number of rn as w
have, and equally armed, and fight on
held selected by mutual consent Hut th
United States does not Intend to do this. It
designs to crush us with brute force, and
defile our soil with tho feet of tho Invauer.
"Reforo this prospect we nro determined
to sacrifice tho last drop of our blood to
avoid it. It gives me tho greater satisfac
tion to see the uttltude of you students, for
in the north as well ns in the south of the
republic all Mexicans nre agreed to sacrifice
themsels before they will consent to alio
mlt to oppression."
