W Br PERSHING'S COLUMNS THREATENED; CAKRANZISTAS MAKE THfcEE ATTACKS - tanilaned frem rare On War-like preparations by the American Government Indicate that hos tilities arc about to begin In cnrnest. The hurry orders to tho Nntlonnl Guard, Iho "draft" act, tho orders to the soldiery In the Philippines and Porto Rico and tho activity on tho border are taken to mean that the United States Is pre paring to settle tho Mexican question now. It Is said In official circles that only a complete backdown, n disavowal of Iho Carrixal massacre by Carranza, can avert war. If Carranza assumes responsibility for Carrlzal, the onus of initiating the -war vflll be on Mexico. If repeated attacks and slaughter, disclaimed by the do facto Govern ment and blamed on Irresponsible leaders, can provoke the United States to hostilities, Carranrn, in the eyes of Mexicans, will be a patriot for defending his country against an invader. Tho National Guard is on tho move and some of tho detachments nrc ex pected (o bo well on tho wny toward the border before nightfall. PERSHING MOVES TO BALK ASSAULTS AIMED ALL ALONG LINE IN MEXICO BUI 37 BAN ANTONIO, Juno 24 Mcxlcnn mil dlers have attacked General lVrtiltiK'n line of communication near Nnmlqulpa three times during1 the last two days, ncordlng to Information reaching Fort Houston today. The Attacks were inn do In the vicinity of Crucea canyon and Pulplto Pass. Alt were beaten off, but three American soldiers were ad severely wounded that they had to be brought back to tho border. The advices at General Funston's head quarters Indlc&to that the attacking forces wero Carranzlsta troops. It was their In tention, American officers heto believe, to capture truck tralnn carrying ammunition and supplies to tho advance American troops. Their efforts have resulted In fall tiro thus far, but GenerAl Pershing Is hur riedly moving troops to threatened points owing- to warnings brought him by his scouts that large Cirrnnslstn forcet nro con centrating along his supply route. Great secrecy attends tho movements of Pershing's troops. Telegraphic communi cation with Columbus, the American bnie, was cut off at It o'clock last night to pre cnt the correspondents there from sending out any Information. Tho reports that a largo forco of Mex lenns had been sighted coming near Co lumbus was scouted at Fort Sam Houston. Tho camp there lies on an open prnlrlc, but every precaution to prevent nn attack ha-i been taken. Hoavy guardi now protect all truck trains being sent to Pershing's men south of the border.

MEXICO CITY CALM; MILITARY OFFICIALS PREPARE FOR ACTION MEXICO CITY, Juno 24. Mexican mili tary officials aro displaying great activity In view of the prospects of war with the united States. They have been on the move day and night since the International situa tion became critical, although tho city Is quiet, so far as tho civilian population Is concerned. Oeneral Carranza was In consultntlon with his Ministers until a late hour last night. The roply to President Wilson's note was tho chief topic undor discussion. All the leading officials refused to talk for pub lication, though tho general uentlmont Is that tho note Is unduly antagonistic and that some portions nre based on a misun derstanding of tho facta. There nro no Indications 'when Oeneral Carrama's reply will be sent to Washing ton. Officials dcclara positively, howover, that no Intimation of Its contents will bo permitted to be cabled or to bo published here until after It Is received and published In full In tho United -States, Tho American Government Is being criti cised because New York newspapers printed a synopsis of President Wilson's noto a week beforo Its receipt hero. Little public Interest Is bolng shown In the note, which has not been published here. It Is the general belief, however, that Gencrnl Carranza, In his reply, will combat vigorously somo of President Wilson's state ments, especially the ono alleging tho pres ence of Constitutionalist troops among bandit raiders. Telegraph wires from all parts of tho re public aro bringing assurances of support to General Carranza In case of hostilities with tho United States. Olllclals believe tho proclamation of amnesty Issued Thursday will unlto nil factions of any consequence In the country In opposition to any Invad ing army. :U. S. OFFICERS HAVE REPORTED PLANNING FOR JUAREZ ATTACK EL PASO, Juno 24. Unless thero Is a marked chango for tho better In tho sltua tlon very shortly, an Amerlcnn army of invasion will take Junrez within, a week, and very shortly thereafter move south ward down the railway Una In Moxtco to Villa Ahumada nnd Chihuahua City. ThlB well-founded report was spread broadcast along the border today, and even crossed the Hlo Ornnde Into Juarez Itself, There It aroused tho anger nnd defiance of tho Maxlcan leaders. This formal do- fiance was Issued by Andres Oarcla, Car- 'ft-Mrania Consdl In El Paso; who has "spent most of his time In Juarez slnca tho situa tion became acuta: tir"itlt Is tho plan to attack JaUroz, the American army wilt find us ready. Wo are not going to glvo up without a fight that will give a new Idea of the ability of Mexi co's soldlors. Every one of our' cltlzons Is ready to take up arms." While Garcia was thus defying the might of the United States, Carranzlsta soldiers, with rifles ready and machine guns un masked, took up their position at tho Mexi can end of the International bridge. They were a grim evldenco that tho Mexicans Intended to fight. Indeed, there was no doubt of this Intention on tho border after the Mexican Government assumed respon sibility for tho attack on American sol diers at Carrlzal. This assumption re moved the Isbus from the field of diplo macy. The move on Juarez may como any tlmo within a week. The advance Into the In terior will take more tlmo because of the lack of troops to support the line of com munications and maintain a patrol on the border. Upon the rapidity with which State military forces reach the border depends the progress of the American campaign. The officers at Fort Bliss already have received their instructions. Tho high com manders deny that any ndvance Into Mexico will be made until a Mexican mllltnry force .makes a hostile demonstration against El 'Paso, but It can bo stated thnt only some Udden reversal of attitude on the part of the American Government can change the plans that have been made. The campaign has been thoroughly mapped out, even to the dropping of the shell that will sever the ruliroiul line at tho point where It crosses tho first hills back of Juarez. Tho militia will have to tako up tho work of tho regulars In safeguarding tho communicating lines and protecting tho border from the backfire of raiding Mexi cans after the hostilities really aro opened. First militia forces from tho better equipped States are expected In tho El Paso dlBtrlct within the next few days Ofllccrs aro eager for tho arrival of such troops as tho 1st Cavalry of tho Illinois National Guard, the assistance of which Is expected to bo Invaluable. It Is probable that the cavalry will have tho first real opportunity of the 8tato Guards for action, Its reputa tion as a splendidly equipped and trained force Is known In the regular army. Today General Uell. In commnml i?Wf miss, issued a statement declaring that yes terday's sudden calling of troops for maneu vers was Just a practice march a sort of military lire drill. At tho same tlmo he took occasion to deny the story of tho Intended move on Juarez. "There Is not tho slightest foundation that tho nrmy Is going to take Juarez," he Bald "The circulation of this story has caused wild excitement In Juarez and might have caused tho Mexicans to commit somo overt act. We have no orders to occupy Juarez or make any invasion. Nor have wo orders to make any hostllo demonstrations against the Mexicans." Despite Gnrcla's defiance. It seemed quite likely that In case of Invasion tho first real fight will be encountered back of the hills of Juarez, where It Is reported that the garrison that "evacuated" with such osten tatious secrecy Is tnklng positions to harass tho American advance. Passing through this, the American troops may expect their first real battle at Villa Ahumada. In that district between 0000 and 7000 Mexican troops aro massed. Against them, from El Paso and through Juarez, the army may send 4000 or fiooo men. This, providing that the militiamen arrive to tako up tho supply guard and border patrol. Oeneral Pershing, froth his main position at Juarez, may send oer 3000 more men for the big engagement. M if n WILSON AND CABINET WILL REJECT OFFER OF MEDIATION, IF MADE Decision Reached on Ground Thnt Dispute With Mexico Is Question of National Honor POPE PLEADS FOK PEACE DEALER IN ARMY HORSES ASSAILS U. S. DEMAND OF LARGE DEPOSITS R. Perm Smith, Society Man, Declares Few Dealers Will Post One-third of Contract Price for Privilege of Selling to United States The Government regulation requiring any ono who bids to buy horses for tho nrmy to furnish n deposit of one-third of tho entire amount was characterized today by It. Pent; Smith, widely known horseman nnd society man, of Strafford, as absurd. Mr. Smith received an invitation to fur nish horses, but says he will decline. Ho belloes that horse dealirs throughout tho country will do tho same. "I don't think any man would bu foolish enough to undertako to furnish horses If ho has to comply with such a rule," ho said. "For example. If I should bid to furnish 1000 horses at $200 apiece within a speci fied tlmo, making a total of 1200,000 Involved In tho transaction, I would havo to post a forfeit of more than $06,000. No ono can afford this." .Invitations havo been .dent from vnrlous stations throughout the country. Mr, Smith recolved Ills from tho Front Iluynl Ilcmouut Station, at Front Itoyal, Va. Moro than 00,000 horses and mules are needed, as fol lows. 20.550 cavalry, 15,900 artillery. 192 light draft, 8100 draft mules (wheelers), 8100 draft mules (leaders) and 4000 pack mules. "Tho regulation Is unreasonable," Mr. Hmlth said. "The demand Is greater than the supply, and thero Is no reason for any dealer to place himself In n financial posi tion which would bo embarrassing. "Tho beat acclimated horses In tho United Statos come from tho region between tho Dclawaro and the Susquehanna nnd tho Government would get the best results buy ing In this vicinity. Unless locnl dealers bid, however, nnd I am confident they will not. I believe most of tho horses will bo bought out In tho Middle West, in points nearest tho Mexican border. I think Omaha Is likely to bo tho centre from which many animals will be bhlppod. The Government' will havo to buy In the open mnrkot, In the samo manner as It purchased from mo eurly this week a carload of horses." Mr. Smith, said that neither tho French nor English Governments had any such regulations. Ho said tho needs of the United .States aovernmont would curb tho horse-buying activities of the foreign Gov I'lniiieniM in mis country. WASHINGTON, June 24. At H10 Cabi net meeting today In wan agreed between Iho President and his advisers that the mat tors how In dispute between tho United Slate and Mexico were not of a character that mediation could be ncepted, nnd when tho Lntln-Amerlcan proposal Is mfl.de It will be rejected on the ground that the matters now at Issue are questions of national nonor. The JJoundnrlnn Government hftfl taken the Inlllatlvo In the movement to lino Up nil of the Latin-American republics In favor of a general plan to offer mediation between tho two- countries. Tlila became known here today when I)r, Ilnfaet Haldlvnr, tho Hal vadoran Minister, received the following message from Martinez Huuarcx, Halvador'a Minister of Foreign Affairs: In view of tho Imminent danger of n break between the United States' nnd Mexico tho Government of Ecuador proposed Joint action by tho representa tives of tho Latin-American countries In Washington and Mexico City. Wo liopo to find or discuss means to avoid bucIi a calamity. Tho Government of Salvador authorizes you to participate In these conferences' to tho end that tho differences may bo settled.

They are receiving the best of fare and have not gotten down to the army rations. Drills will feature until Monday, when practice at tho ranges and skirmish attacks will be part of their work. One of the most sympathetic cases that has been witnessed (n connection with the call of the men to the front was at the armory of Company II, when Mrs. James McCarter asked a furlough for her son, be cause her daughter Anna had Just died and the stepfather of the boy, John Fitch, was dying.

Interposed the objection which proented Immediate disposal of a bill Introduced by Senator Heed, of Mis sourl. Reed's move wns nn Insult to the Amer icanism of the guardsmen and nn Imputa tion of their patriotic motives, s.ild Gore. Government support for families of Na tional (iiKirilsmen on tho Mexican border was cut out of the Hay "mllltla" resolution today as It was reported to the Senate by the Military Committee. A proWslon that married men nnd others with dependents may bo excused from serv ice was substituted. FAVORITISM, SAYS GORU "Such favoritism never before was heard of," shouted Senator Gore, attacking the Iteed bill. "That amount never was paid Civil War etorans. yet they fought in a real war, and not against half-clad, half-armed savages. "This la a reflection on the patriotism of these joiniR lieroeH. Shall wo assume to capitalize their devotion to the country? Shall we maka them mercenaries? Shall wa capitalize patriotism, commercialize de otlon to country?" Senator Reed, red with anger, bitterly assailed the blind Oklahoma Senator. "Capitalize patriotism?" he asked. "It's a phrase that comes naturally to the lips of a phrasemonger. But It does not apply truthfully to these young men who a few days ago bade farewell to father and mother, wife and child some of them for the last time. "It 111 Becomes a senator to su pehlnd a mahogany desk at (7500 a year and sneer at these men who will fight their country's battles." TOO MUCH FOR PENSIONS. "Fifty years after the Civil War closed," retorted Oore, "we pay 1158,000,000 a year In pensions. I nee a danger to the public treasury nay to the public conscience. This Is but the thin edge of an entering wedge of another multitude of jiensloners." "Now is not the time for any appropria tions," said Senator Thomas, of Colorado, "W would be carried away by sentiment "I deny that soldiers must be obtained through paying them so well that It la an object for them to quit private employment. Ood protect this republic when it must be defended by mercenaries I "It Is a pold fact that constantly Increas ing appropriations for pensions create a spirit of avarice and an expectation of re ward for doing a patriotic duty."

A machine, gun company of 4G men went to Mt. Gretna this morning with tho Phila delphia battalion of the 0th Regiment. Tho reglmont, howover, has no machine gun. For that matter, thero Is not a slnglo ma chine gun In' tho ordnance equipment nf tho National Guard of Pennsylvania, although army requirements call for ono machine gun to each regiment of Infantry and cavalry. Major W. Preston Tyler, brigade Inspec tor, was In charge of brigade headquarters In the temporary absence of Brigadier Gen oral Price this morning. When the nbsence of mnchlne gun equipment was suggested to Major Tyler, ho said : "Wo have nine regi ments of Infantry In tho National Guard, and one"reglment of cavalry. Three of these Infantry regiments are In our brigade. Undor the present nrmy formation each bf these should have a machine gun. We have tho companies, but not the guns. The State has never provided them. That Is the only reason the regiments are not equipped, nnd why wo go away without them. "When our troops get to the hordnr i i, llevo the United States Government will see to It that the proper equipment of ma chine guns Is provided. Knch gun requires a company oi iuu men nnu threo officers The matter of handling tho guns will not bo difficult for us, as we have drilled in tha mnchlne gun manual and our oilicers can Instruct their men in their use. "However, I do not think there will be great demand for the type of weapon In the campaign with the Mexicans. These soldiers for the moBt part art guerrilla fight ers, and make their attacks In small de tachments or bands. The machine gun is not very effective against scattered forces, Its best uso being when directed upon troops in massed or close ordsr formations. Then, too, a machine-gun company piust be supported by other Infantry or cavalry troops when used as a defense, "The nature of the Mexican country and tha tactics of the Mexicans in warfare both make It unlikely that there will ba much opportunity for close-order fighting. How ever, the only reason we have no machine guns to take with us Is that the State has never made appropriation to supply the guard with those weapons, although thsy are supposed to be part of every regimental formation in the Infantry and cavalry branches of the eervlce.y Major Tylsr also commented upon the widely prevalent idea that machine guns are capable of marvelously rapid nre. "The average effectiveness of a machine gun," he said, "is 160 shots to the minute. Some .persons think that a machine gun can fire as nign as tvvv snuu . minute. Tnere Is no weapon X know of capable pf that record. In holding a mountain pass against advancing forces, or In street fighting against a mob pressing closely together they are Effective, out ac-aui ou snots a minute U their ordinary potency They cannot maintain this average lone: far lhv na up an tmnnnsa quantity ot ammunition, and therefore cannot bo stationed far from their bastt of supplies," Continued from l'use One tho Secretary of Stato that tho bulk of tho Guard would bo ready "In flvo days." This would place them nt General Funs ton's disposal by next Wednesday or Thurs day. It Is expected hero that President Wilson will go beforo a Joint session of Congress early next week nnd place the entire Mex ican situation before It. Falling this, a res olution reciting tho facts and declaring "tho armed forces of the Government must bo used to uphold the national honor," will bo prepnred nnd pasicd, but present Indica tions nro that the President will nppenr personally. Then CongresH probably will pass a resolution declaring war. Immediately orders will bo Issued to the army nnd navy to begin tho campaign al ready planned by the Army War College and tho naval chiefs. This win Include a complete blockade of Mexico by land nnd sea nnd tho dispatch of tho armies Into Mexico to complete the work of crushing the Carranzlsta forces who aro opposing tho American plans. Only one possible penceful solution was seen by any of the officials hero. That was a complete, backdown by Car ranza and ncceptnnco by him of tho pro posals contained In the note sent by Secre tary Lansing Inst Tuesday. If this were to be done, It Is admitted, tho Carrlzal In cident and all others now pending would be possible of adjustment. So far as the demand for the release of the American troopers was concerned, Am bassador Designate Arredondo said today ho thought It "probably would be granted," unless the military expedition In Mexico "tries to enforco the request by force," In that case a rofusnl can be expected, ho said, Arredondo said ho bolleved nil tho Latln-Amerlcnn countries would unite In an effort to arrange mediation. Meanwhile, millions of money to defray the expenses of tha campaign against Mexico will ba provided by Congress within the next wool: upder tho plans formulated by the leuders today After consulting Sec retary of War Raker and other War De partment officials. Chairman Hay, of the House Military Affairs Committee, an nounced that he would propose amend ments to the pending nrmy appropriation bill which would add about 20,000,000 to the measure to meet the expent.es of the guard movement. In addition to this, an urgent deficiency bill will bo brought In by the Appropriations Committee early next week providing some 86,000,000 to pay tho expenses oi ina guaru movement up to June 30, when the new army bill would become effective. Thesa appropriations will give tho War Department enough money to run on for several weeks, but additional appropria tions will be necessary rom time to time if the Mexican situation contlnuss serious.
