El Paso, Tex.—Preparations were
being made on both sides of the bor
der a* SI Paso for poeslblla hostili
ties. The Juares garrison was rela
tors «d by the arrival of about 100
troops from Chihuahua City, while
Battery A of the New Hexioo National
Guard, 140 men, and four 4-lnch Held
guns and "the First Battalion of the
Twentieth Infantry arrived from Co
lumbus, N. M., to take station at Fort
Bliss, Tex., on the outskirts of El Paso.
The battery Is the first of the state or
ganizations to croas Into another state
for duty.
General Bell announced that in any
eventuality the fullest possible protec
tion would be afforded to all law-abid
ing Mexicans on the American side of
the frontier. The announcement did
much to quiet the fears expressed by
the large Mexican population of the
city. General Bell also reiterated a
public warning to all persons In El
Paso to stay oft the street in the event
of trouble.
Added precaution* were taken to
prevent the smuggling of ammunition
across the Mexican line after the ar
rest at the International bridge of
Lule Correr, charged with attempting
to take 2,600 round* of email armi
ammunition acroaa the boundary In
motor cars. Correr declined to dls-
CUBS his case. A heavily-loaded pas
senger train arrived from Chihuahua
City carrying two of the seven Ameri
cans who were left there and 1,000
Mexican refugees from Torreon. In
accord with orders received from
General Obregon in Mexico City none
of the Mexican* were permitted to
cross the American frontier.
Reports from various towns In
Chihuahua and Sonora indicated that
citizens generally are being armed
and that a furore of anticipatory ex
citement prevails throughout north
ern Mexico. OB |he Mexican side of
the river only 34 men turned out for
the citizens military drill as compared
to three score before.
No Fear For.Perahlng.
Military men here continued to ex
press confldence In the ability of Gen
eral Pershing's command to protect
itself in any emergency even though
private dispatches quoted the expedi
tionary commander as admitting that
the situation is very tense. It was
pointed out that General Pershing Is
prepared to send columns In any
direction from his line, despite Gen
eral Jacinto Trevlno's recent ultimat
um, If he considers his flanks Imper
iled. The dlspatchss said also that
heavy guards have been thrown about
all American camps in Mexico and
the temporary field headquarters at
Colonia Dublan, 10 mile* south of the
border.
Uncertainty aa to Nots Rsply.
Washington.—No Indication was giv
en at ths State Department of the
course to be pursued with regard to
the reply to Oeneral Carransa's note
demanding the withdrawal of the
American troops now In Mexico, which
Is In President Wilson's hands. It had
been Intended to dispatch it to Mex
ico City by special messenger, bat re
cent developments may change this
plan.
Official reports that recent raids
along the border had created alarm
among American residents In Mexico
City and elsewhere beyond the border
were reflected In a message received
at the Mexican Embassy from Osnsral
f'arranza. It stated that excitement
prevailed at the Mexican Capital over
the ominous signs along the border,

Washington.—War with Mexico de
pends upon General Carranza's recep
tion of 4 stern refusal by the United
States to Tieed his demand for a recall
of American troops, in the opinion ot
President Wilson's' close advisers.
They were prepared for the possibili
ty of open hostilities after the note
has reached Carranza's hands.
No indlcaton has come thai the
first chefa attitude of Implacable
hoiltillty would be ihaken by the re
iterated declaration ot the latest com
munication that the United States haa
no aggressive or warlike purpose to
ward Mexico, but la firmly resolved to
protect her borders and and brigand
age In the border states.
The reply to Oarranza's note de
manding recall of Osneral Pershing's
expedition was In tha hands of the
government printer preparatory to Its
delivery and publication. Secretary
Lansing had Intended to aend It for
ward earlier, but at the last moment
minor changes and additions to the
6.000-word document necessitated de
lay. Although it had been planned
to send it by messenger to
Mexico City the situation baa chang
ed and it probably will be handed to
Ellsoo Arrodondo, Mexican ambassa
dor designate.
While the diplomatic atee* were In
progress the naUon was stirring
throughout Its width and breadth with
the movement of National Quardsmen
mobilizing to guard the border, At
least 100,000 and possibly a far larger
number were preparing tor active ser
vice under President Wilson's call,
for the present their mission purely
will be one ot defense; but should war
come, they will be ready also for that.
The new forces will not be assign
ed for border duty until mustered Into
the Federal service. Even when mo
bilization Is completed, only such units
will be orderod South as General Pun
•ton desires (o fill the gaps In his
1,800-mile guard Mne. The remalndet

Columbia.—All the troops In
South Carolina have received
orders to move to Camp Btyx,

San Antonio, Tex.—General Fun
ston requested the war department to
send to him, as soon as possible, a
large part ot the national guardsmen
to be stationed along the Mexican
boundary from "Brownsville to tho
Pacific ocean."
General Funston did not make pub
lic the exact number requested, but
said he asked for enough to provide
"adequate protection" of the border.
He also withheld the names ot the
stations to which the guardsmen
would be sent, although admitting that
a considerable force would be mobiliz
ed at Ban Antonio as a reserve.
El Paso, Texas. —The border read
the latest note to General Carranza
and then lapsed back Into expectant
waiting. Speculation centered on the
first chief's reception of the Lansing
document.
A telegram received at the Mexican
Consulate from the officials news bu
reau In Mexico City read:
"General Carranza, addressing a pa
triotic crowd In Mexico Olty, declared
that there would be no war with the
United States unless the United States
should send a further punitive expe
ditlon Into Mexico."
The address referred to Is believ
ed to be the one mentioned In a re
centdlspatch which General Carranzs
was quoted as saying he did not wish
war, but would not avoid It to the
sacrifice ot the national dignity. In
some quarters, the telegram was In
terpreted as forecasting a backdown
on the part of the first chief. It was
pointed out that the United States has
no Intention of sending additional
forces Into Mexico unless a new sltua
tlon arises.
Whatever Carranza's attitude, mili
tary authorities along the border an
nounced themselves In complete readi
ness for eventualities. At every point
where the threat of the de facto sol
diers exists prepartlon was made for
the protection of American lives and
property.

In announcing the orders Secretary
linker said the state forces would be
employed only to guard tho border
and that 110 additional troop move

except In pursuit of raiders.
Simultaneously with the National
Guard call, Secretary Daniels of the
Navy Department ordered additional
war vessels to Mexican waters on both
coasts to sufegard American lives.
At tho War, Navy and State De

Within the last two weoks, how
