Thousands of Guardsmen All Over Country Ready to Eofta/n For Border HARRISBURG llSslltl TELEGRAPH LXXXV — No. 147 CARRANZA GIVEN 48 HOURS; FIRST BRIGADE IS DELAYED If Captured Cavalrymen Are Not Released Within Next Two Days Action Will Be Taken oy 11 S.; Wilson Will Not Wait Until Later Than Thursday For Decla ration of Intentions HURRYING EFFORTS TO GET GUARD TO BORDER War Department Must Have Militiamen to Back ■Up Regulars; First Step by President Will Be to Lay Whole Situation Before Congress in Joint Session; Specific Authority Needed fly Associated Press Washington, D. C., June 27. —There were clear indications to-day that if American cavalrymen cantured by Mexican troops at Carrizal were not released within 48 hours, action would be taken by the United States. The impression prevailed in official circles that President Wilson would not wait beyond Thursday at the latest and possibly not beyond to-morrow afternoon for a definite reply from the Carranza government to the note de manding the immediate release of the prisoners and a declaration of inten tions. Special Agent Kodgers at Mexico City reported in an overnight mes sage received early to-day that he had delivered the note to the Mexican foreign office yesterday morning. He did not Indicate how it had been re ceived or when a reply is expected. Hasten Mobilization While the diplomatic aspects of the crisis awaited Carranza's action, the War Department drove forward its efforts to hasten mobilization of the National Guard on the border. It is certain that no aggressive military op erations can be undertaken until a substantial number of State troops is available to back up General Funston's regulars who unquestionably would lead any movement. President Wilson's first step, should he decide to force the issue, probably would be to lay the whole situation before Congress in joint session. It is believed he so informed members of the foreign committees of both Houses in his conference with them Sunday night. Authority Needed Specific authority under which the National Guard could be employed beyond the border and also authori zation for calling out volunteers would be needed. It is regarded as certain also that any resolution presented for action would include a reaffirmation of the position of the administration that it is being forced into military action for the defense of its town territory from outlaws, and has no purpose of terri torial aggrandizement. Mexican officials here have ex pressed the opinion that General Car ranza would surrender the American prisoners, whatever reply he might make to the demand for a formal dip lomatic expression of his purposes. Army in Good Shape Every day's delay in what seems the inevitable break in relations with the Mexican government sees the army in better position for the swift action that may follow. This has influenced against pressing matters to an imme diate issue. Had the border forces been sufficient to release the regulars [Continued on Page 11] (Other Mexican News Paces 10 &• 11) HEXKV Molt \K Funeral services were held this af ternoon at 2 o'clock for Henry Morne, who died at his home, :Sls Market street.

Gretna. Pa., June 27.—The departure of the First Brigade for the border, officially or dered for to-day. will In all probabil ity be postponed until to-morrow morning or later. Orders from Washington, demand ing that a complete muster roll of the division be submitted to army headquarters is responsible for the expected delay. The orders require complete identification descriptions of every soldier, similar to that of the regular amry. The taking of finger prints alone will lie dispensed with. Although the original orders to move to-nisht have not been ret ailed, hope of fulfilling them under the the commanding officers see little hope of fulfilling them under the con ditions which demand so detailed a statistical report on every soldier. The disappointment of both enlisted men and officers is keen. Governor Goes Over Camp Governor Brumbaugh motored to the camp immediately after the order had been received and engaged in a lengthy discussion Major-General element, the division commander. At its conclusion, the Governor ex pressed himself as frankly dubious of the departure of the brigade until to morrow. With his secretary r-vl members of the Major-General's stufr, the Gover nor made an unofficial inpsection of the encampment expressing himself as delighted with the progress shown, and the spirit of the men who have hastened to the mobilization in time of their nation's need. With the de mand for muster rolls, United States , army headquarters sent an official or der for the immediate discharge of all the colored cooks. It will go Into effect at once. Under army regula tions, which now control what was the National Guard of Pennsylvania, white and colored soldiers may not be en listed in the same regimetn. The First Brigade, already short on I rations faces the possibility of being j without cooks until the recruiting of ficers in Philadelphia, acting under prompt messages from headquarters here, enlist and hasten white cooks to : their quarters. The tentative schedule is that the Second Brigade, the next in seniority |of its command to the First. may move on Thursday and be followed by i the Fourth on Saturday with the cavalry and artillery going out on Monday, hut this may be changed. Arrival of recruits kept the camps lively during the morning as men of : regiments paraded to the station to welcome the parties. In the regimen tal camps medical examinations, vac i cination and everlasting drills were the order of the day, the monotony Icing varied by practice by the bands. Colored Cooks Discharged Orders were issued from head quarters to-day discharging all cdlored cooks and some vigorous scurrying about to get men in their places re sulted. In the First Brigade, which is to go out within 2 4 hours the order caused considerable stir. Even if the First Brigade is delayed 'in going away from here, it is the opinion lhat the Second Brigade will 'be abl<2 to start on Thursday, if a {movement that day is approved by the Department of the East. The men of the Second have kept wires hot to get j eurly orders to move. The news that New Jersey regi intents had been passing through ; Pennsylvania to-day on their way to ' the southwest was received with 1 liters for the lucky Jerseymen at sev eral camps.

The latest re ports from both Berlin and London, j however, lend color to the somewhat prevalent belief that the long threat ened concerted attack by the entente allies on the various fronts is in pre paration, if not in actual process of s execution. At Verdun the situation has not materially changed over night. Paris reports further progress for the French tn regaining ground in the re gion of the Thiaumont work, north of the citadel.
