As W " """ -' By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN- WASH1NGTON, June 20. President Wilson will place the cntlro Mexican sit uation before Congress nt a special Joint session to be held on Wednesday nt noon, If General Carrnnza falls to reply to the President's demand for the release of the Americans enptured nt Carrizal. Whether the President nt that time will ask for a Hat declaration of war on the de facto Government of Mexico or will sug gest passage of a resolution, such ns was adopted at the time of the Vera Cruz Inci dent, permitting hm to utilize the armed forces of the Government to enforce the decrees of the State Department, has not yet been decided. The legal authorities of the State Department today are consider ing this question. Congress will follow any plan that the President suggests, the leaders said today. A double responsibility for the Carrizal battle appeared partly established today. It dW3 not however, place such a burden on the American forces as to assure peace. Onla complete right about face by Car ranza can save the situation, it wa3 said. Jhe report of Captain Slorey. as he lay supposedly dying on the Carrizal desert, Indicated to officials that the action of the American force before Carrizal might have been provocative. Morey wrote that Captain Boyd was un der the Impression that the Mexicans would run when the Americans fired. "We formed for attack," said Morey's report. On the other hand, the publication of the American demands for the release of 17 American prisoners from Chihuahua showed that Carranza liad issued the order to General Trevino not to permit the Amer leans to move south, east or west This would place upqn Carranza the re, sponslblllty for the Mexicans nrlng and perhaps prove the necessity for Boyd'a of fensive.

The 1st Brigades of Philadelphia, consisting of tho 1st, 2d and 3d Regiments, today wns ordered to entrain tfimorrow for tho Mexi can border, it wns nnnounccd officially by Major General C. M. Clement, at noon. With It will go the engineer battalion, half of which Is composed of Philadelphia men; Hospital nnd Amhulanco Company No. 2, of Philadelphia, and the field battalion sjRnal troops. Tho total forco la estimated at 3300 men. Tho order which was transmitted to Gen eral Clement from Adjutant General Stew art, nt Harrlsburg, was foreshadowed by a long conference between General Clement nnd Brigadier General William G. Price, Jr., of the 1st Brigade, at brigade head qunrters, to which General Clement hurried In an automobile after a telephono conversa tion with Adjutant General Stewart Tho red military rond to Fountain Head Field, where the brlgado Is under canvas, was fairly burned by tho commander's automo bile.

The engineers, signal men and hospital and ambulanco corps were rushed through tho Federal physical tests. So far as possible tho engineers, field ambulance and hospital corps to accompany the 1st Brigade will be selected from Phila delphia troops. This will depend upon tholr readiness for service.

"As soon as possible tomorrow" Is the cry ns the heart-breaking task of moulding an army over night Is attacked. The three infantry regiments will entrain at Colebrook, which Is tho station nearest their camp. Here, too, the ambulance men and Blgnal corps probably will entrain. Tho engineers will leave from Mt. Gretna station. JUBILATION AND SILENCE. High Jubilation reigned In the dun tents of the chosen fighters when the news spread that they weie to face the Mexicans. There was a mighty burst of cheering. They had expected It. So had every one else. But the reality of It was stunning and the pyschologlcal reaction was to shout und yell and roar. Then suddenly, as If some vast Invisible hand had been laid over the tented war riors, a hush fell over the field. It was logical, too, that they should, become silent. It was sobering.

PRICE 02ST1S CICNT NATIONAL ADS DEFINED ANEW BY KINGSBURY Telephone Publicity Expert Links Idea Up With Na tion's Aims EXAMPLE FOR MEXICO Says U. S. Should Publish Reasons for Martial Action. "Look at Europe" N. C. Kingsbury Argues for National Advertising N. C. Kingsbury, vice president of the American Telephone and Tele graph Company, urged that people bo made ncnuaintcd with nil motives and policies of political, administra tions by means of system of govern mental advertising. Said it was duty of Democratic Administration to tell public its in tentions toward Mexico. Said people have right to know reasons for "chasing tho bandit." Declared every article produced for consumption of human race should be advertised. Every cause affecting humanity, ho said, should have same treatment. Potency of national advertising was demonstrated by the speaker when ho said that during a five-year national advertising campaign tho American Telephone and Telegraph Company gained 2,190,904 new stations. A powerful plea tor a system of govern mental atlvortlDlng which would educate the people concerning motives and policies of political administrations at 'Washington was made this nfternoon by N. C. Kingsbury, vice president of the American Telephone nnd Telegraph Company, at tho general ses sion of tho 12th annual convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. Mr. Kingsbury's subject was "The Na tional Advertiser." Ho enthusiastically Indorsed national ad vertising, saying that In a five-year na tional advertising campaign the American Telephone and Telegraph Company gained 2, 103, 064 new ntatlons. The Interest of tho great audience of ad men, bankers, manufacturers and merchant was raised to a high pitch when he used tho Mexican sltuutlon as an Illustration of the need for the advertising of govern- . mental policies. "We nre In trouble In Mexico," he said. "It Is necessary that some policy be adopted which will protect the people living along our southern borders In life and property, What shall that policy be? It Is the duty of our national Administration to decide; but It Is Just ni necessary and Just as much the duty of the Administration to advertise the reasons for the decision as It Is to make the decision. "Wo are so closely bound together In this country that we have the right to know the alms and purposes of the forces which nre chasing a bandit, and It Is necesrary to advertise thoso alms aifd purposes In ordo? to secure our cooperntion." "NATIONAL ADVERTISING." Here Mr. Kingsbury told what "the war ring nations in Europe have done In the last two years to convince their own people, the rest of tho world and "supreme forces" that the Individual causes for wnr In each nation were only Just and righteous ones. He said: "It has been a mptter of great moment to each of these Governments to convince the people of the United States that each of the bevcral national causs3 Is the righteous one. And how have they tried to do Itf Those Governments, ns you very well know, have all advertised. They have bought newspaper space, they have. Inspired maga zine articles nnd. have sent out news slips to Individuals. Could there be a more striking example of the universal need for advertising? This certainly Is national advertising, with the accent on the na tional.' "One of the objects of national advertise Ing Is the formation of public opinion. There Is no autocratic government today. No government on earth would dare to enter upon war without feeling sure it could In some measure justify the act In the court of public opinion, and that Is the reason for the tremendous Investment which has been made In the advertising propa ganda of foreign governments In this country.
