'GRAVEST CONSEQUENCES,' SAYS NOTE TO CARRANZA
5fcontlnii from Paw On
being largely Verified, ftt-6 the Santa Teauel massnero of 18 Americana nnd the Colum
bus, N. M., mid, which, the notd declares, wero curried out by Villa.
Following tho Cusl mining property mid In January, tho note Rayg, Carrnnzn
authorities wero appealed to for protection, "which was not given."
Secretary IrtnRlng emphasizes tho point that .AinunKsndor Ancdondo "repeatedly
cavo assurances" that American lives would ho protected; hut, It Is enld, they mado
no tnovo that appeared, to bo following out these nssilrnnros. U Is pointed out
that "ao far ns Is known on'y a slnglo man personally connected with this (tho Santa
Ysabet) massacro has been brought to justlco by Mexican authorities.
"Within a month after this bnrbnroui slaughter of InoffciiHlVo Americans It was
notorious that Villa was opciatlng within 20 miles of Cualhlnrchlc nnd ptifillcly Bald
that his purposo was to destroy American lives and properly. Despite repeated and
Insistent demands that military piotcctlon should bo furnished to Americans, Villa
openly carried on his operations, constantly approaching closer and closer to tho
border.
"His movements wero not Impeded by troops of tho do facto Oovernmcnt, nnd no
ffoctual attempt was made to frustrnto his hostile designs against Americans.
ATTACK UPON COLUM1JUS.
Tet, the Mexican authorities wero tuny
eopdinnt of his movements . Villa's
unhindered activities culminated In tho un
provoked and cold-blooded attack Upon
American soldiers nnd citizens In tho town
of Columbus on tho night of March 9, the
details of which do not need repetition here
In order to refresh your memory with tho
helnousness of tho crime. After muiderlng,
burning and plundering. Villa and his ban
dits, ilcelng south, pawed within slRht ot
tho Carranza military post nt I iimih
Grandes. nnd no effort was mado to stop
him by tho officers and garrison ot tho do
facto Government stationed there.
"In tho face of theso depredations
tho perpetrators of which Oenerat Carranza
was unablo or possibly considered It In
ndvlsablo to apprehend and punish, tho
United States had no recourse other than
to employ forco to disperse the uandi of
Mexican outlaws . The marauders
engaged In tho attnek on Columbus wero
driven back ncross tho border by American
cavalry, and subsequently wcio
pursued Into Mexico In an effort to enptura
or doBtroy them. Without -o-opcratloii or
...i.,.n ... dpsnlto repeated re
quests by tho United States and without
apparent recognition on ltn part of tlie
desirability of putting an emt to the system
.tlo raids American forces pursued
tho lawloss bands ns far as l'arral. whoro
tho pursuit was halted by the hostility
of Moxlcans, persumod to bo loyal to tho
do facto Government, who arrayed them
selves on tho side ot outlawry nnd became
In effect tho protectors of Villa nnd his
bond.
REASONS FOR CROSSING nORDKR.
"In this manner, nnd for theso reasons,
havo tho American forces entered Mexican
territory. Knowing fully tho circumstances
Bet forth, tho do facto Government cannot
bo blind to tho necessity which compelled
this Government to act and yet It 1ms seen
fit to roclto groundless sontlments of hostility
toward the expedition nnd to Imputo this
Government ulterior motives for tho con
tinued presence of American troops on
Mexican soil. It Is charged that theso
troops crossed tho frontier without first
obtaining tho consent or permission of tho
do facto Government. Obviously, ns Im
mediate action alone could avail, thero was
no opportunity to reach an agreement
if the expedition was to be effec
tive. Subsequent events and correspondence
havo demonstrated to tho satisfaction ot
this Government that General Carranza
would not havo entered Into any agreement
providing for an effective plan for the cap
ture and destruction of tho A'llla bauds.1
ALL, QUESTIONS ANSWHRUD
Secretary Lansing noxt token up In detail
Carranza's last demands. Cluuges that
this Government hud not fully answetcd
a previous communication are llatly de
nied. Soveral misstatements, noticeably a
quotation carried In tho Carranza com
munication, and purporting to show this
Government had formally admitted tho
dispersion ot the Villa band had been
accomplished, are cited.
Mention Is mado of tho Mexican Gov
ernment's suggestion that American troops
bo withdrawn on tho ground that Car
ranza forces now are so disposed as to
prevent outlawry and border raiding.
"It Is because of these suggestions, nnd
General Scott's confidence they would bo
carried out," says the note, "that ho stated
In hl3 memorandum, following tho con
ference with General Obregon. that Ameri
can forces would be gradually withdrawn.
"It 13 to be noted that while the Amer
ican Government was willing to agreo to
this plan, tho Carranza Government re
fused to do so."
GLENN SPRINGS ATTACK.
General Carranza Is reminded that even
while the border conferoncu was on at VA
Paso, after American conferees had been
assured that Carranza troops wero abla to
protect the border, tho attack at Glenn
Springs occurred. Tho noto continues:
"During the continuanco of tho El Paso
conferences General Scott, you assert, did
rot take Into consideration tho plan pro
posed by the Mexican Government for the
protection of tho frontier by tho reciprocal
distribution of troops along the boundary.
Thl3 proposition was mado by -General
Obregon a number of times, but each time
conditioned upon tho Immediate withdrawal
of American troops, and tho Mexican con
ferees were Invariably Informed that 'Im
mediate' withdrawal could not tako placo,
and that, therefore. It was Impobslblo to
discuss the project on that basis.
"DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS."
"I have noted the fact that your communi
cation Is not limited to a discussion ot tho
deplorable conditions existing along the
border and their important bearing In
peaceful relations of our Governments, but
that an effort Is made to connect It with
other circumstances in order to support, If
possible, a mistaken Interpretation of tho
attitude of tho Government ot tho United
States toward Mexico.
"You state, In effect, that tho American
Government has placed every obstacle In
the way of attaining tho pacification of
Mexico, and that this Is shown by the
volume of diplomatic representations In be
half of American Interests which constantly
Impede efforts to reorganize the political,
economical and social conditions of the
country; by the decided nid lent at one tlmo
to Villa by American ofllcers and by tho
Department of State; by the aid extended
by the American Cathollo clergy to that ot
Mexico; by the constant activity of the
American press In favor of intervention and
the Interests of American business men ; by
the shelter and supply of rebels and con
spirators on American territory ; by the de
tention of shipments of arms und munitions
purchased by the Mexican Government and
by the detention of machinery Intended for
their manufacture.
DC FACTO RULE ENCOURAGED.
"In reply to this sweeping charge I can
truthfully aftlrm that the American Govern
ment has glyen every possible encourage
ment to the de facto government In tho
pacification and rehabilitation of Mexico.
Prom the moment of its recognition It has
had the undivided support ot this Govern
ment" Charges In Carranza's note to this Gov
ernment, regarding Influences In America
that have nought to bring about Intervention
are answered by citation of inflammatory
artistes that have appeared In Mexican
newspapers, deeplta power ot cenMr new
by Carranza.
' With the power of censorship," pays tho
note, "so rigorously exercised by the de fac
to Government, the responsibility for this
aotlvlty cannot. It would seem, be avoided
by that Government, ami tho issue of the
appeal of General Carranza, nunoelf. In the
press of March IS, calling upon the Mexican
peopli to be prepared for- any wnnrtuwy
which might arise, and Intimating that war
with the United State was Imminent, evi
dence the attitude of. the da facto Gov
ernment toward these publications.
BARRING- OP MUNITIONS
It should not be a matter of surprise that.
after suob manifestations ol hostile fH.
the United States w itouWful of the pur
pose for which the large amount of ammu
nition wjis to to us4 wWob th dc fauo
Oovemasnt iyrsd vr to imjort from
this country. Moreover, the policy of the
do fncto Government In refusing to co
operate and In falling to net Independently
In destroying the Villa bandits and In other
wise suppressing outlawry In tho vicinity
of tho bonier so as to rcmovo tho dntiRCr
of wnr materials while passing southward
through this r.nne falling Into tho hands of
tho enemies of law and order, Is. In tho
opinion of this Government, a sulllclrnt
ground, oven if thero wero no oilier, for
tho icfUHiil to allow such materials to cross
tho boundary Into tho bandlt-lnfcsted
region.
"Candor compels me to ndil that tho un
coticealed hostility of tho subordinate mili
tary commanders of Ithn do facto Govern
ment toward the American troopi engaged
In pursuing tho Villa bands nnd tho efforts
ot tho do facto Government to compel their
withdrawal from Mexican territory by
threats nnd show of military force, lntcnd
of aiding In the capture ot the outlaws,
constitute n menace to tho safety of the
American troops and to tho pence of tho
border, As long ns this menace continues,
nnd thero is any evldenco of an Intention
on tho part ot tho do facto Government
or Its military commanders to use forco
against the Amerlcnn troops, Instead of co
operating with them, tho Government, of the
United States will not permit munitions of
war or machinery for their manufacture
to bo exported from this country to
Mexico.
"Having corrected tho erroneous state
ments of facts to which I havo adverted,
the. real situation stands forth In Its true
llRht. It Is admitted that American troops
have crossed tho International boundary In
hot pursuit of tho Columbus raiders and
without notice to or tho consent nf your
Government, but tho several protestations
on tho part of this Government by the
President, by tills Department and by other
American authorities, that tho object of tho
expedition was to capture, destroy or com
pletely dlspcrso the Villa bands of outlaws
or to turn this duty over to tho Moxleau
authorities when assured that It would be
effectively fulfilled, have been carried out
in perfect good faith by tho United States.
"OBSTRUCTJSD AT EVERY POINT."
"Its efforts, howover, have been obstructed
nt every point ; first, by Insistence on a
palpably useless agreement which you admit
was either not to npply to tho present ex
pedition or was to contain Impracticable
restrictions on Its organization and opera
tion; then by actual opposition, encouraged
and fostered by tho do facto Government,
to tho further advance of tho expedition Into
Villa territory, which was followed by tho
sudden suspension of all negotiations for
nn arrangement for the pursuit ot Villa
and his followers nnd (ho protection of tho
frontier; and finally by a demand for tho
lmmedlato withdrawal of tho American
troops.
"Meant lino conditions of nnarchy In tho
border States of Mexico wero continually
growing worse. .
"In view of tho actual stato of affairs ns
I havo outlined It above, I am now In a
position to consider tho conclusions which
you havo drawn In your note under ac
knowledgment from the erroneous state
ments nf fact which you have set forth.
"Your rjovernment Intimates, If It docs
not openly chargo, that tho attitude of tho
1'nltcd States is ono of insincerity, distrust
und suspicion toward the do facto Govern
ment of Mexico, and that tho intention of
tho United States In sending Its troops Into
Mexico is to extend Its soercIgnty over
Mexican territory and not merely for tho
purposo of pursuing marauders and prevent
future raida across the border.
"The da facto Government charges by
implication which admits or but one In
tcrprotntfon, that this Government has as
Its object territorial nggrandlzemont. even
at tho oxpeiiso of a war of aggression
against a neighbor weakened by years of
civil strife.
"Tho Government of tho United States.
If It had had designs upon the territory of
Mexico, would have had no difficulty In
finding during this period of revolution nnd
disorder many plausible arguments for In
tervention In Mexican affairs. Hoping,
howover. that tho people of Mexico would
through their own efforts restore peace nnd
establish nn orderly Government, tho United
States has awaited with patience tho con
summation of tho revolution.
RECOGNITION, Or CARRANZA.
"When tho stiperolrlty of tho revolution
ary faction led by General Carranza became
undoubted, the United States, after con
ferring with six others of tho Amerlcun re
publics, recognized 'unconditionally the pres
ent da facto Government. It hoped nnd ex
pected that that Government would speedily
restore order.
'This Government has waited month
after month for tho consummation of Its
hope and expectations. In feplto of Increas
ing discouragements, In spite of repeated
provocations to exercise force tho
Government of tho United States has re
frained from nggresslvo nction and sought
by appeals and moderate though explicit
demands to impress upon the de fncto
Government tho seriousness of the situa
tion. "In the face of constantly renewed evi
dences of the patience and restraint of this
OCovernment in circumstances which only a
Government Imbuod with unselfflbhness and
a sincere desire to respect to tho full the
sovereign rights and national dignity of the
Mexican people would have endured, doubts
and suspicions ns to the motives of tho Gov
ernment of tho United States are expressed
In your communication of May 22. for which
I can Imagine no purpose but to Impugn the
goad faith of this Government, for I find It
liard to believe that such imputations are
not universally known to bo without the
least shadow of Justification in fact.
"Can the de fncto Government doubt that.
If the United States had turned covetous
eyes on Mexican territory, It could have
found any pretexts In the past for the
gratification of Its desire? Can that Gov
ernment doubt that months ago, when the
war between the revolutionary factions was
in progress, a much better opportunity than
the present was afforded for American In.
terventlon. If such had been tho purpose
of the United States, as tho de facto; Gov.
eminent now Insinuates?
"What motive could this Government
have had In refraining from taking advan
tage of such opiiortunltles other than un
selfish friendship for tho Mexican Rcpub,
lie?
"You state that even the American forces
along the border 'find themselves physically
unable to sffsctively protect the frontier on
the Amsriean side.' Obviously, If there Is
no means of reaching bands roving on Mex
ican territory and making sudden dashes at
night Into American territory. It Is Impos
sible to prevent such Invasions unless the
frontier U protected by a cordon of troops.
No Government could be expected to main
tain a force this strength along the bound
ary of a nation with which it Is at psace for
the purpose of resisting the onslaughts of a
tew bauds of lawless man, especially when
the neighboring State makes no effort to
prevent these attacks. The most effective
method of preventing raids of thbj nature.
as past experience has fully demonstrated,
is t. visa i jnlehmsiit or destruction on the
ral.rs.
it is precisely thty plan which the United
States desires to fellow along the border
without any intention of intrinsic!.' upon
tho sovereign rights ot her neighbor, but
which, nlthoUgh obviously advantageous to
tho de facto Government, It refuses to allow
or oven countenance .
"Tho Mexican Government further pro
tests that It has 'made every effort on Its
part to protect tho frontier' nnd that It Is
doing 'all possible to avoid a recurrence of
such acts.' Attention Is again Invited to
tho well known ami unrestricted activity of
Do la Rosa, Ancleto Plscano, Pedro Vinos
and others In connection with order raids
and to tho fact that, ns I am advised, up
to Jtino i, be la Rosa wns still collecting
troops at Monterey for the openly avowed
purpose of making attacks on Texan border
towns and that Pedro Vino wnn recruiting
at other places for the samo avowed pur
pose . This docs not Indicate that
the Mexican Ooernment Is doing 'all pos
sible' to avoid further raids .
"It Is suggested that lnjurlcn suffered
on account of bandit raids nro a matter
of "pecuniary reparation' but 'nover the
cnuso for American fortes to Invade Mex
ican soil.' v It has grown to be
almost u custom not to settle depredations
by money alone, hut to quell such dis
orders nnd to pt event such crimes by swift
and sure punishment.
PROTECTION Of LIFE.
"The do facto Government llnally urges
that 'If the frontier were duly protected
fiom Incursions fiom Mexico thero would
bo no reason for tho existing diniculty'l
thus tho de fncto Government attempts to
absolve Itself from tho first duty of nny
Government; namely, the protection of life
and property. This Is the paramount ob
ligation for which Governments nro Insti
tuted, nnd Governments neglecting or fall
ing to perform It nro not worthy of tho
name. This Is the duty for which General
Carrnnza, It must bo assumed, Initiated
his revolution In Mexico nnd organized tho
present government nnd for which tho
United States Government recognized hli
Government as the de facto Government of
Mexico. ........
"Tho Government of the United States
does not wish to believe that the de fncto
Government npproves thono marauding at
tacks, vet as they continue to bo made, they
show "that tho Mexican Government is
unable to repress them.
REFUSES TO WITHDRAW TROOPS.
"In conclusion, the Mexican Government
Invites the United States to support Its 'as
surances ot friendship with reni nnci ei
fectlve nets' which 'can bo no othor than
tho immediate withdrawal of tho American
troops ' For tho reasons 1 hnve herein fully
set forth this request ot the do facto Gov
ernment ennnot now bo entertained.
"Whenever Mexico will assume nnd ef
fectively exercise that responsibility the
United States, ns It has many times before
publicly declared, will bo glad to have this
obligation fulfilled by the de.faclo Govern
ment of Mexico.
"If, on the contrary, tho do facto Gov
ernment Is pleased to Ignore this obliga
tion nnd to believe that 'In caso of a
refusal to retire theso troops thero Is no
further recourse than to defend Its territory
by nn appeal to arms,' tho Government of
tho United States would surely be lacking
in sincerity and friendship It It did not
frankly Impress upon tho do facto Govern
ment that the execution of this threat will
lead to tho gravest consequences. Whllo
this rjovernment would deeply regret such
a lesult. It cannot reccdo from Its settled
determination to mnlnlnln Us national
rights and to perform Its full duty In pre
venting further Invasions ot tho territory
ot tho United States and In removing tho
peril which Americans along tho Interna
tional boundary havo borno so long with
patience nnd forbearance.
"ROHERT LANSING."
STATE GUARDSMEN START SATURDAY
FOR THEIR CAMP AT MOUNT GRETNA
Caiillnned from Pane One
of eager applicants for enlistment In anti
cipation of service along tho Moxlcnn bor
der continues today with unabated number,
nnd tired surgeon", after remaining on duty
at their armories virtually all night, re
sumed the task of examining prospective
recruits with virtually no Interruption.
The chniacter of the men applying for
enlistment Is far above tho nvcrogo, tho
regimental surgeons report, nnd In conse
quence nono Is accepted unlets ho passes
the medical and physical tests, well above
tha requirements. Severnl ot tho compa
nies nro already up to tho peace quota, and
only In cases where tho applicant Is un
usually fit, or has seen previous military
service, Is ho ncccpted.
In tho 2d Regiment this condition Is
especially noticeable. Tho 2d has always
been regarded aH nn superior "servlco"
command, and Colonel Turner and his com
pany commanders havo seen to It that the
membership has been kept above tho peace
minimum. Company E, of tho Engineers,
Is another command which has attained Its
full quota.
Tho reported intention of tho .Wnr De
partment heads to make the Pennsylvania
guardsmen part of the first army of rein
forcement sent to tho southern border hns
gone far to stimulate enlistment nnd to
htlr the prldo of tho members of local com
mands. Tho latter nppreclato tho honor of
being rated ns capablo of being among the
first to tnke tho field. Officers and men nro
bending every energy toward maintaining
Philadelphia's rccoid for efficiency and
promptness In response to tho nation's call.
Airangemcnts have been made for a pa
rade and drill of all the commands of the
First Ilrlgade before the departure for Mt.
(Jretna. This turn-out will prcccdo a dem
onstration In Fulrmount Park and will ox
hlbit to Phlladclphlnns tho exact condition
and fitness of tho local guardsmen for tho
bcrvlce In which they are enrolled.
Tills parade will also servo to stlmulato
interest in the National Guard and may en
courago enlistment on tho part of other
young men to tako tho places in tho State's
servlco left vacant by the summoning of
tho t-evernl regiments Into tho service of
tho National Government.
EXPECT TO FILL RANKS.
At all tho armories about tho city today
tho spirit manifested was. If anything, more
ardent than that which greeted tho notifica
tion that active servlco was impending.
Tho rush of recruits shows no Indication of
fulling off, and nil tho regimental command
ers declare they will match out with, full
ranks when tho start for Mt. Gretna is
made.
.Captain Charles C. Allen, U. S. A., colonel
commanding the 1st Regiment, wns en
thusiastic over the response of ills men to
tho preliminary summons. "Our officers and
men," he said today, "will report to the
armory on Thursday morning at 8 o'clock
From that tlmo on they will be In the ser
vice of the Government. Wo will leave
for tho mobilization camp at Mt. Gretna,
Saturday, Sunday, or perhaps, not until
Monday morning Th'o exact hour for our
departure has not been decided. Wo will
not bo Idle in the meantime. Wo will spend
tho Interval between Thursday and our
start for Mt. Gretna In practlco marches,
In drills, both In tho armory and In Fair
mount Park. We will do much work In
tho extended order formation, so that our
men will not only bo thoroughly hatdened
when they take tho field, but will also be
familiar with the open order formations
which aro more generally used In modern
warfare.
WILL MARCH ON FRIDAY.
"We will parade on Friday along with
the other commands of tho 1st Ilrlgade and
I believe that turn-out will benefit the regi
ment by helping to harden the men, but It
will undoubtedly causo Increased Interest
and enthusiasm in tho Guard on tho part
of the public The response of candidates
for enlistment at the armory already is
grutlfying. We accepted 83 men lust night
and Major Fred O. Wagge, our regimental
surgeon, and his assistants wero busy
virtually the whole night through They
went back to work today and do not ex.
pect to havo much Intermission until we
leave for camp Tho class of applicants Is
remnrkahly good. Despite tho vigorous test
Involved In tho physical examination, only
10 of tho 03 applicants wero rejected. 1
havo arranged that Major Wagge or ono
of his assistants shnll bo on duty constantly
at the armory from now on."
Similar roseoto outlooks nro held by tho
other rcglmcntnl commanders. Colonel
Crcsswell, of the Third Regiment, nnd
Colonel Turner, of tho Second, both predict
a full enrolment before the order to mnrch
Is given. The latter command accepted 81
recruits yesterday and today, and thero
seems no diminution In tho number of ap
plicants. The Sixth Regiment battalion, at
Its armory, 41st street nnd Mantua ave
nue, In also filling up, nnd the cavalry
troops nre virtually at regulation strength.

An Enviable Reputation
Earned Out on the Job
THE purchases of careful motor truck buyers are
based largely on the reputation a vehicle ha3
earned out on the job.
For such a reputation is concrete evidence and is
the estimate placed on the truck by men of discern
ment hard-headed business men who have paid out
their good money for its use. G
There can be nothing hit-or-miss about judgment
based on a reputation gained in years of actual servicet
The preference of thousands for the Garford Motor
Truck is well known.
' For years Garfords have been famous for certainty
of performance, uniform dependability, and economy
ot service,
In that period Garfords have been profitably
operated in many widely different lines of trade de
livering'anything and everything from yeast cakes to
six ton girders. . ,".
t Our extensive experience has taught us just what
types and sizes of units are needed by modern business.
' There is a Garford Motor Truck eminently suited
