CONFIRMATION OF REPORTED ATTACK ON AMERICAN FORCE BY CARRANZA WILL BE AWAITED BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN 12 AMERICANS AND 14 MEXICANS DIE the present at least and that Mr. Wil son had no Intention of going before Congress immediately. It would take a courier or survivors of the American detaohment many hours to make their way to General Pershing's base. Troopers Ambushed No clear view of what happened could be had from the Mexican state ment transmitted from the border. stories of the tight conflict, but \em to indicate that the Americans were trapped or ambushed and suf fered their chief losses from machine gun fire. It is presumed General Pershing promptly dispatched reinforcements. Including artillery, to aid the cavalry detachment if it was still engaged with the Mexicans or Its lines of retirement menaced. No reports have come from General Funston, however, indicating that he had knowledge of additional troop movements or was preparing to send more men to Pershing. Secretary Baker said no marching orders had gone to national guard units. Nothing could be done, he de clared, until a report from American sources had been received. War is Close Other officials took the same view. They would not discuss possibilities on the basis of the incomplete and con flicting Mexican advices. There were no efforts, however, to conceal the anxiety with which the situation was viewed. There is enough similarity among the border reports to convince them that a serious clash occurred, whoever may have been the aggressor and whatever the outcome. It has brought war with Mexico so close that officials say any hour may sec the con flict in full swing. MAYOR ENDORSES TELEGRAPH PLAN "(iive Boys Rousing Sendoff," He Says; Formulating Farewell Program Mayor Meals heartily endorsed the Telegraph's suggestion that the city speed the departing guardsmen on their way with a formal farewell demonstration of affection and appre ciation. "Give the boys who are going to the front a rousing send-off," said the Mayor when asked if he intended to issue any special proclamation for Sat urday. The Mayor is slowly recover ing from a recent heart attack and will not be able to participate in the j farewell demonsi ration Saturday morn ing when tbe soldiers leave for Mount Gretna.

Mexicans Claim U. S. Force Was Heaviest Loser in Fight at Carrizal El Paso. June 22. The Abericans who engaged the Carranza soldiers in battle at Carrizal yesterday were heavier losers than the Mexicans, ac cording to reports Issued by the Mexi can consulate in El Paso to-day. The Mexicans claim that while four teen o ftheir number were killed and thirty wounded, the Americans suf fered an even dozen killed and lost 17 as prisoners.

Presi dent to draft national guardsmen will ing to take the Federal oath imme diately into the regular army under the terms of the new army bill was submitted by Secretary Baker Chairman Hay, of (he House military committee. Mr. Hay said he would call It up to-morrow and press for im mediate action. If possible, Mr. Hay said, he would obtain consideration of the resolution by unanimous consent, but he was pre pared to ask for a special ruls if neces sary. The resolution differs slightly from the provision of the measure originally prepared for bringing the national guard Into Federal service in that it would provide for service during "the period of the emergency" instead of "the period of the war." Subject to Draft Members of the active guard of the reserves in all states, territories and the District of Columbia who take the new oath would be subject to draft under the resolution. The President would be authorized to combine vari ous incomplete units In order to bring them up to war strength and to ap point officers for them. When Mr. Lansing saw the news paper men at 11 o'clock he said there still were no reports on the CarrlzaJ incident from American sources. Asked whether he had ordered American consular officers out of Mexico, he said that all had been arranged for, the consuls now In Mexico had their in structions and knew what to do. All consular officers were Instructed some time ago to use their own discretion about leaving their posts. SHIP EQUIPAGE TO MT. GRETNA Men Recruited For War Strength Will Be Given j' Arms There Notice was received at the Penn- 1 sylvania National Guard headquarters that the tentage and equipment re- I quired to provide for the men enlisted j to raise un'lts of the national guard | from peace strength to war strength! would be shipped from the United j States Army depot at Philadelphia to I Mount Gretna to-day. Under the mili- j tary plans, the War Department must furnish this equipment, the Pennsyl- j variia guardsmen being equipped only for the peace strength. It was stated ! at the Capitol to-day that the men to ] be sent out at the peace standing j would be equipped. The State authorities have author- ' ized only a small number of men in excess of the minimum peace strength to be taken to Mount Gretna, so that If the tentage ttncl other equipment which the national government must supply does not reach Mount Gretna in | time it will be possible to care for the excess of men without much discom fort. State officials to-day declined to comment upon reports that blankets 1 for the difference between peace and war strength of the Pensylvania guard ! had been sent by the War Department for Plattsburg camp. It was reported here that efforts to obtain necessary blankets were being made and that I they would be shipped as soon as pos- ; sible. The other equipment is to be i started from Schuylkill arsenal to- ' night. Captain J. B. Kemper, United States Army, was to-day detailed by Colonel C. R. Noyes, chief mustering officer of I the Department of the East, to act as [ senior mustering officer at Mount Gretna and to receive the stores. Cap tains F. S. Leisenring, infantry, R. S. Thomas, engineers, and D. H. Biddle, cavalry, and Majot C. E. Koerper, medical corps, have been detailed as assistant mustering officers, and Cap tain Thomas will likely be appointed property officer. Governor Brumbaugh to-day issued | I a statement to the effect that salaries j I of men employed in executive depart- i 1 ments of the State government could ! | not he paid for the time they are in i the national service. The Governor's statement Is as fol lows: "The employes of the Common- I j wealth in all executive departments! | who enter the service of the United ' 1 States through the national guard will not lose their positions by reason of t j that service. The courts have decided that salaries can be paid only for serv | ice actually performed for the Com monwealth. For that reason the sala- I | ries of these men cannot be paid them I I for the time they are in the national | I service. Inasmuch as the Common-' I wealth of Pennsylvania certainly | should do for its officials what it ex pects private individuals and cor | porations to do, I shall earnestly rec i ommend that they be reimbursed by ' | the Legislature when it next as sembles. ' Reports reaching the Capitol to-day j I from all over the State told of grati fying recruitment and the commanders i i of a number of units asked to be al- ! lowed to take ail of the men to camp | !on Saturday. This will depend upon | the manner in which the equipment comes from the War Department. If! it does not arrive in time, the men will remain at home stations under com mand of first lieutenants, who are act ing as recruiting officers. The shipment of stores from this city has about been completed. Special requisitions are now being handled. Gen. Pershing Has Not Received Report of Fight, hat Sends Reinforcements By Associated Press I San Antonio, June 22. General j Pershing reported to General Funston to-day that he had not yet received a report of the fight at Carrizal but added that on information sent to him he lias sent out two squadrons of the Eleventh Cavalry with Instructions to get Into touch with the trooii of the Tenth that was engaged yesterday by the Mexican forces. General Funston made it plan that General Pershing's first report has not altered the general situation and that no special orders will be Issued until General Pershing has rendered a re port In detail of the Carrizal fight and incidents that led to It. General Pershing said that all his ! men had positive orders not to' do anything calculated to precipitate a I fight with troops of the de facto gov ernment. Although unstated in General Per shing's report, officers at headquart er!' drew the inference that Captarn I Harts T. Boyd was in command of T'-oop H, the troop believed to have i been the one engaged at Carrizal. GUARtTOFFICERS'WHO WERE BRIG. GEN. J. B. HUTCHISON NO TROUBLE TO MOVE GUARDSMEN Railroads Look Upon Task as Mere Matter of Handling 20,000 Passengers The best equipment owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the Phlla- I delphia and Reading Railway, will be used in transporting troops to Mt. Gretna. For three days, working forces have been busy putting locomo tives in shape for war service. Steel cart, will be used exclusively, and the movement of the 20,000 members of the National Guard to the mobiliza tion camp at Mt. Gretna, will be given close attention by transportation offi cials. Roth the Pennsylvania ajid the Reading Railroads, it was announced to-day are fully prepared to do thelt share In the concentration of the troops. While orders for the move ment of trains were not announced until to-day the railroad managers took the initiative several days ago, at i the first sign of possible mobilization, and laid their plans accordingly. Since early on Monday morning both roads have been In position to turn j their equipment over to the use of the State. The situation was learned on Sunday. Forthwith the managers sent orders to gat everything In readiness. There was little bustle or commotion. The machinery, tested in previous years of handling militia equipment, moved quickly. Within a compara tt\ely few hours the railroads now can empty the State of guardsmen. Starting Points The Pennsylvania and Readtng will pick up the troops along their lines, working out from places where they have their yards. The Pennsylvania will distribute its equipment from Philadelphia, Harrisburg and Pitts burgh, from Wllliamsport, Sunbury and Wilkes-Barre. From Chambers burg It will drain the central southern section of the State, while from Waynesboro, on the south and Oil City on the north, the western part will be tapped. The main storage cen ters of the Reading include Phila delphia, Harrisburg, Tamaqua, Shen andoah. Shippensburg, Wllliamsport and Allentown. At all these places train crews only await the word to move. Officials of the railroads do not consider it a difficult task to trans port the troops. They have lost sight of the military aspect of the work and viev It strictly in the light of the mov ing of so many passengers. It was said at the Reading office here an un expected Atlantic City crowd on Satur day would cause far more trouble | (than that of carrying the guard. Much | | In the same way was it viewed at the ) j offices of the Pennsylvania. The only | trouble anticipated will come at the' i junctions the roads make with the i Cornwall and Lebanon Railroad, on 'the line of which Mt. Gretna lies, 10 j miies equidistant from Conewago on j the Pennsylvania and Lebanon on the i Rending. This Is a small road with i j limited equipment and It Is believed | a speedy mobilization will give this I road the test of Its career.

Colonel Hutchison's military serv ice covers a period of thirty-five years. He enlisted In Company D, Eighth Regiment Infantry (City Grays) Feb. 18. 1881, and rose by regular degrees until he was elected by the unanimous vote of the line officers as colonel of the Eighth Regiment, after the death of Colonel Theodore Hoffman. Dur ing Colonel Hutchison's service in the City Grays he was appointed Captain and instructor of the City Grays Cadet Corps, a junior organization connected with the company. He was at that time a duly sergeant in the company. After the death of Captain Thomas E. Maloney in January 1891, he was elected captain of Company D. At the beginning of the Spanish War he wont with his company as its com mander to Mt.

GET FIRST TASTE OF SOLDIER'S LIFE [Continued From First Pago] City in Grip ol War Fever Not since Spani'h-American War days has the city been so thoroughly in the grip of the war fever; and the scenes about the armories outrivaled those of twenty years ago, for then the guard of Pennsylvania wasn't offi cially recognized as the second line of defense of the regular army. At 9 o'clock this morning officers' whistles and bugles sounded the "as sembly" and the long lines of uni formed men quickly formed, the re cruits, in citizens' clothes, had the left of each line, and after the count "by fours" had been called off the recruits were hustled outdoors to undergo in structions at the hands of shrill voiced, apparently peevish, corporals. Squad after squad was tried out in the yard of the armory, while a few were given their first taste of military training under the trees and before the more or less grinning eyes 'of hundreds of spectators in the RHer Front Park. Many Applicants Incidentally, the offices of the armory recruiting stations were busy; even as raw recnHts were being put through their paces new applicants were waiting a.chance to sign up for service. Company I mustered ninety-threo men, including the "rookies." to-day; Company D boasted of eighty-five, with more to come; the Governor's Troop reported with its full comple ment of sixty-six old troopers, with some twenty-five accepted recruits. Women Folks There, Too Most everybody who could sneak a few minutes' "time off" slipped up to the armories at one time or another to-day; ex-City Ctrays, old guardsmen who shook th Mr heads rather wistfully at old Pa Time, who has raised for them for all time 'he statue of limi tations; the pretties) girl in the world —some scores of her>—was on hand In smiles and silk sweater. And in the background were those who smilingly TRIED to be convinced that their "boys" were not "really going further than Mount Gretna.' For on Saturday Harrlsburg's infan try guardsmen will move to Uncle Sam's mobilization camp; the troop will leav- rt " o'clock Sunday. Not All Raw Recruits While the mysteries of the school of the soldier were more or less Greek to most of the "rookies" there were some to whom the footwork, the steps, the turns, etc., were as a review of old lemons thoroughly learned long ago. These were ex-guardsmen or ex-regu lars of the United States army. No raw recruit was so eager to get into the ranks again as your one-time serv ice man. One of the officers of Com pany I told this story to illustrate this: "One of the most likely of all the candidates for enlistment was a great husky fellow who had seen a lot of good service in the regular army. When he first applied however I questioned in my mind as to whether he wasn't over-weight. He weighed 2*o or 250 pounds if he tipped a pound. To-day I questioned him to verify my suspicions. •"'What do you weigh?' I asked him. " 'Hundred-an'-ninety pounds, ex actly, sir. I got weighed this morn ingl' "So," finished the officer, "you see he must have lost some forty or fifty pounds—overnight!" Not Quite Heavy Enough The assemblylng of the men to-day was not without its disappointments for a few youthful, if willing ones. One slightly built chap regretfully stepped out of the line of recruits at Captain Zeigler's command. "I'd like to take him along," said the captain, "but he's not quite heavy enough." "Just the same, sir," essayed the disappointed soldier, "I'm as tough and strong as any of 'em. Wouldn't that do." That was the spirit that seemed to prevail in both armories. Nor did it apply alone to the single men by any r.ieans. One of the big sergeants of the Governor's Troop, Sergeant Charles Kline, one of the crack revolver ahots of the National Guard, smilingly ad mitted that the 'prospect or going to the border wasn't as pleasant as It nil*lit be because he had y wife ana chiUi at home. "But," he added quickly, "not that I'm going to let THAT stop me." And the same spirit was evidenced jin other ways. One would-be youth 'Xul.trooper who la a year under ase, is - COL,. MAURICE E. FINNEY ail orphan and has no legal guardian. He tried all morning to enlist the serv ice of some friend to serve as tem porary guardian for him if appointed by the courts, the guardianship would only be for long enough 10 affix the signature to enlistment papers. Among these were Edgar N. Warren and Miss Mary A. Hendricks, of North" Wales. They had arranged to be wedded later in the summer, but they wanted the Rev. Mr. Bassler to tie the knot. So last nigbt they got the min ister on the phone—and he went to North Wales and performed the cere mony this morning. Arden Emerlck, 1726 Carnation street, and Miss Maudo Edith Watts. Sls South Sixteenth street, was another wedding solemnized to-day. This occurred at the par sonage. The Rev. Mr. Bassler will be as busy as any officer in the field—only In a little different capacity. He will of ficiate at Sunday services, incidentally, to which all men must report. Can Sleep at Home With the exception of the men who live out of town, the members of the two infantry companies of the Eighth will not be required to sleep in the armory. At 9 o'clock this morning, however, they went, on duty and they will remain so from now on. Coming one! going from the armory will be governed by permission of officers, just as in camp, incidentally, the troops will eat at the place provided for by the State—the F. F. Davenport restau rant. They got their first meals there to-day. Proprietor Davenport broke a rec ord of his to-day in feeding the men. The ninety-odd soldiers- of Company 1, for instance, were served in a little less than nine minutes. A "boiled din ner" of corned beef and cabbage, other vegetables, bread and butter, coffee, pie or cake constituted luncheon; for dinner to-night theie was mock turtle soup, hamburger steak and French fried potatoes, hot rolls, coffee and pie. For breakfast to-morrow morning there will be ham and eggs, potatoes, rolls and coffed; for luncheon, soup, fried cod and potatoes, bread and but ter, coffee and pie or cake; for dinner, clam chowder, potled beef and maca roni, vegetables, coffee, pie and cake. For (he last breakfast before depart ing for Mount Gretna, Saturday, the men will will have bacon and eggs, potatoes, coffee and rolls. The uniformed men and "rookies" marching together through the streets to the restaurant stirred curiously the big crowds that collected along the curbs and the windows of the store and office buildings. And when the soldiers wheeled on the return to the armory the applause of clapping hands echoed through the street like the rattle of rifle fire. Among the first of the Guard offi cers to be sworn into Federal service to-day was Captain Harry H. Baker, adjutant of the Eighth regiment. In every-day life Captain Baker is chief clerk in the master mechanics' office of the Pennsylvania railroad company at Reily street. Furthermore he's one of the most popular employes who ever held a desk for the Pennsy. Fel low employes surely testified to that to-day when they surprised him with a gift of a regular Colt automatic. CaDed to the office by an emergency message, Captain Baker hurried to the office where fellow workmen had gathered to meet him. The presen tation speech was made by H. B. Uotz, general foreman. The gun is of the same type which Captain Baker would have had to buy—at a cost of S2O. Soon after he had taken the oath of allegiance to serve in "the National Guard of the United States and Penn sylvania," Captain Baker swore In the Rev. Harry Nelson Bassler, pastor of the Second Reformed church, and chaplain of the Eighth . The oath Is practically the same as the State Guard oath except that the Federal stipulates "National Guard of the Uni ted States." The Rev. Mr. Bassler has practically wound up his affairs preparatory to leaving for service. His church has granted him a six months' leave of absence with pay and In his absence the pulpit of the Second Reformed will be filled by the Rev. Dr. H. M. W. Kline, of Franklin and Marshall for Sunday services and by the Rev. Walter R. Hartzell for prayer service. If at the end of six months the Rev. Mr. Bassler doesn't return the congre gation either will fill the vacancy per manently or extend the leave of ab sence. The possibilities of 'the Rev. Mr. Bassler's early departure hastened several weddings among his parish ioners by the way. Troopers Stay on Duty The Governor's Troop, assembled for services at 9 o'clock this morning will remain on duty at the armory. They will eat the food that will be prepared by the Troop cook in the armory kitchen —and they'll sleep o' nights on cots on the armory floor. The Governor's Troop by the way will extend a more than ordinarily cordial welcome to farriers—horse shoers and blacksmiths, according to Lieutenant Nicodemus. The Troopers' whole day is laid out for him at the armory Just as if he were in camp.

GREECE ACCEPTS ALLIES' DEMANDS UNDER PRESSURE Cabinet Resigns When Blow Falls; All Troops Ordered Under Arms RUSSIANS ARE REPULSED Berlin Claims to Have Beaten Them Back; Gain Trenches at Verdun Athens, June 21. Under heavy pressure from the entente powers Greece has accepted without reserve the demands presented to-day in a Joint note by Great Britain, France and Russia. At the most critical mo ment Greece was without a govern ment. Premier Skouloudis late to-day announced to the Chamber of Depu ties the resignation of himself and his associates in the cabinet and the fail ure for the present to obtain succes sors to them. M. Skouloudis refused to receive the communications* from the entente powers on the ground that no Greek cabinet existed as the note was de posited at the Foreign Office while he was on his way back from the resi dence of the King where he presented the resignation of the ministry. On this account, he explained, he could not discuss the demands. Before it became known that Greece had decided to yield it. was said in government circles that It would be an impossibility to accede to the de mands. Agamemnon Schliemann, former Greek minister at Washington and now a member of the chamber of deputies, on being asked what the government intended to do, replied: "How can we voluntarily renounce the sovereignty of our country?" Troops Under Arms The action of the entente powers came on one of the hottest days of many years in Greece. The palace was darkened, the King was at Cha teau Tatoy, shops were closed and the ministries were deserted when the blow fell. The people were unaware what had occurred until well on to ward evening, when newspapers and handbills made known the text of the demands. > ..Meanwhile King Constantine re turned hastily to Athens. All the troops In the city were ordered under arms. The deputies were summoned to the chamber, where Premier Skoulou dis announced that he had resigned. The chamber adjourned Immediately, cheering the retiring ministers as they left the building. RUSSIANS REPULSED Berlin, June 22, via London. The repulse of heavy attacks by the Rus sians against General Count Von Bothner's forces north of Przewoloka was announced to-day by the War Oiflce.

GERMANS GAIN TRENCHES Paris, June 22. After violent at tacks lasting all night the Germans captured front line trenches between Fumin wood and Cnenois, in the Ver dun sector, according to an official statement issued to-day by the War Office.

Ah attack on the south slope of Dead Man Hill was checked by grenade detachments, according to the official statement. On the right bank of the river there were violent engagements west and south of Fort Vaux during which the Germans gained a footing in a corner of Fumin wood, but were immediately expelled. Later they returned to the I attack when some trenches were cap | turned. A German grenade assault north of Hill 321 was stopped by the French fire.
