El Paso, Tex. —Preparations wers
being made on both sides of the bor
d«r at El Paso for posslbll* hostili
ties. The Juares garrison was rein
forsed by the arrival of about 100
troops from Chihuahua City, while
Battery A of the New Mexico National
Guard, 140 men, and four 4-lnch field
guns and the First Battalion of the
Twentieth Infantry arrived from Co
lumbus, N. M., to take station at Port
Bliss, Tex., on the outskirts of El Paso.
The battery Is the first of the state or
ganisations to cross Into another state
for duty.
General Bell announced that in any
eventuality the fullest possible protec
tion would bs afforded to all law-abid
ing Mexicans on the American side of
the frontier. The announcement did
much to quiet the tears expressed by
the large Mexican population of the
city. General Bell also reiterated a
public warning to all persons In El
Paso to stay off the street in the event
of trouble.
Added precautions were taken to
prevent the smuggling of ammunition
across the Mexican line after the ar
rest at the International bridge of
Luis Correr, charged With attempting
to take 2,500 rounds of small arms
ammunition across the boundary in
motor cars. Correr declined to dis
cuss 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
cltlsens 'generally arc being armed
and that a furore of anticipatory ex
citement prevails throughout north
ern Mexico. Ob the Mexican side of
the river only 34 men turned out fcS?
the citizens military drill as compared
to three score before.
No fear For
Military men here continued to ex
press confidence 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 Une, despite Gen
eral Jacinto Trevlno's recant ultimat
um, If he considers his flanks Imper
iled. The dispatches said also that
heavy guards have been thrown about
all American camps In Mexloo and
the temporary field headquarters at
Colonia Dublan, 30 miles south of the
border.
Uncertainty as to Nets Reply
Washington.—No Indication waa ffr
sn at the State Department of the
course to be pursued with retard to
the reply to Oeneral Carransa's note
demanding the withdrawal of the
American troops now In Mexico, which
Is In Preeldent Wilson's hands. It had
been Intended to dispatch It to Mex
ico City by special messenger, but 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 Oeneral
Carranza. It stated that excitement
prevailed at the Mexican Capital over
the ominous along the border,
Chaetberlaln'a Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy.
„ This is a remedy that every fam
ily should be provided with, and
especially during the summer
months. Think of thelpain and suf
fering that must be endured when
medicine must be sent for before
relief can be obtained. This reme
dy is thoroughly reliable. Ask any
one who has used It. Obtainable

sador designate, what he had learned
of the Intentions of the Washington
government towards Mexico. In reply
Mr. Arredondo Inoluded a copy of Sec
retary Baker's statement announcing
the call for the militia.
Order Goes to Governors.
The President's orders calling the
National Guard Into the Kedenal serv
ice -went to the Governor «f eech
State in the form of the Hollowing
telegram signed by Secretary Baker:
"Having in view the possiWlßy of
further aggression upon the territory
of the United States from Mexico and
the neoesslty Dor the proper protec
tion of that frontier, the President
haa thought proper to exercise the
authority vested In him by tho Con
stitution and laws and call out the
organized militia and the National
Guard neoeesary tor that purpose. I
am, in consequence, instructed by the
President to call Into the eervice of
the United States forthwith, through
you, the following units of the organ
ized mllltla and National Guard ot
the State of which the Presi
dent directs shall be assembled at the
State mobilisation point, State camp
ground (or at the pllaces to be desig
nated to you by the commanding gen
eral, department) tor muster
Into the aervtco of the United States.
(Here follows a list of the organi
zations to be furnished by the desig
nated State.)
Minimum Psaos Strength.
"Organizations to lie accepted Into
Federal service should have the min
imum peace strength now prescribed
for organized militia.. The maximum
strength at which organizations will
be accepted and to which they should
be ralaed as «oon as possible, Is pre
scribed in Section 2, Tables of Organ
isation, United States Army. In case
any regiment, battalion or squadron
now recognized as such, contains an
Insufficient number of organizations to
enable it to conform at muster to
regular army organization tables,
the organizations necessary to com
plete such units may be moved to
mobilisation camps and there lnepeo*
ted under orders of the department
commander to determine fitness tor
recognition as organized mMllUa by
the war department.
"Circular 1». Division of MUbtla
Affairs, 1914, prescribes organizations
desired from States as part of the
local tactical division and only these
organizations win be accejrted Into
service.
"It Is requested that all officers of
the adjutant general's department,
quartermaster oorps and medical
crops, duly recognized as pertaining
to state headquarters under Table 1,
Tables of Organization. Organized
Mllltla, and not elsewhere required
for duty in State administration be
ordered to camp for duty as camp
staff officers.
"Such number of these staff offi
cers as die department commander
may determine may I>e mustered Into
service of the United States for the
purpose of proper camp administra
tion and wlO be mustered out when
their services are no longer required.
"Where roognized brigadiers or di
visions are called Into service from
• state, the staff officers pertaining
to these units under Tables of Organ
ization, United States Army, will be
mustered Into service and also the
authorized sectors of small arms prac
tice pertaining thereto.
"Except for these two purposes of
mobilization camp service and of the
prescribed camp service with tactical
units, officers of state headquarters
under Table 1, above mentioned, will
not be mustered Into service at this
time. If tactical divisions later are
organized the requisite official num

prescribed for division staff will, as
far as practicable, be called Into serv

WAR DEPENDS ON
CARRANZA'S AGIION
U. 8. FORWARDS STERN REFUSAL
TO NOTE ORDERING RECALL
OF ALL TROOPS.
WILL PROTECT THE BORDER
Nation Stirring Throughout Width and
Breadth With Msvsment of Militia
men to Mobilisation Campa, Pre
paratory to Sarvlee Along Border.
I Washington.—War with Mexico de
pends upon General Carransa's recep
tion of a stern refusal by the United
States to lieed his demand for a recall
of American troops, in the opinion of
President Wilson's" close advisers.
They were prepared for the possibili
ty of open hosltllltlea after the note
has reached Carranza's hands.
No lndlcaton has come that th«
first chef* attitude of implacable
hosltlllty would be shaken by the re-
Iterated declaration of the lateet com
munication that the United States haa
no aggressive or warlike purpose to
ward Mexico, but la firmly resolved to
protect her borders and end brigand
age In the border states.
The reply to Oarranza's note de
manding recall of General Pershing's
expedition was In the hands of the
government printer preparatory to It*
delivery and publication. Secretary
Lansing had Intended to send 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 special messenger to
Mexico City the situation has chang
ed and it probably will be handed to
Ellseo Arredondo, Mexican ambasaa
dor designate.
While the diplomatic steps were In
progress the natton was stirring
throughout It* width and breadth with
the movement of National Guardsmen
mobilizing to guard the border. At
least 100,000 and possibly a far larger
number were preparing for active ser
vice under President Wilson's call.
For the present their mission purely
will be one of 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 ordered South as General Fun
eton desires to fill the gaps In his
1,800-mile guard line. The remalndei
will rest on their arms at tho stats
mobilization camps for the present;
awaiting the turn of events.
MEXICAN TROOPB ADVANCE
TOWARD LINE OF ATTACK
U. 8. Sends Battalion of Infantry to

Del Rio.
San Antonio, Texas. —Mexican gov
ernment troops were reported to be
marching towards Del Rio, a border
town about 100 miles up the Rio
Grande from Eagle Pass, with the
announced Intention of attacking the
Americans there. This information
was the moat notably bit of evidence
indicating the attitude of the de facto
government that has reached General
Funston.
News that the troops were advanc
ing toward the border was brought by
a Mexican who 'said the force waf
1,640 strong. According to his report,
the Mexican troops said they Intend
ed to attack the Americans.
It was estimated that they were
about 40 miles south of Del Rio.

Columbia.—All the troops In
South Carolina have received

San Antonio, Tex.—General Fun
ston requested the war department to
send to him, as soon as possible, a
large part of the national guardsmen
to be stationed along the Mexican
boundary from "Brownsville to- tho
Pacific ocean."
General Kunston did not make pub
lic the exact number requested, but
Bald he asked for enough to provide
"adequate protectloa" of the border.
He blbo withheld the names of tho
stations to which the guardsmon
would be sent, although admitting that
a considerable force would be mobiliz
ed at San Antonio as a reserve.
El Paso, Texas.—The border read
the latest note to Oeneral 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:
"Oeneral Carranza. addressing a pa
triotic crowd In Mexico City, declared
that there would be no war with tho
United States unless the United States
should send a further punltlvo expe
dition Into Mexico."
The address referred to Is believ
ed to be the one mentioned In a re
cent dispatch which Oeneral Carranza
was quoted as saying he did not wl»h
war, but would not avoid It to tho
sacrifice of the national dignity. In
some iiuarters, the telegram was In
terpreted as forecasting a backdown
on the part of the first chief. It was
pointed out that the United States ha«
no Intention of sending additional
forces Into Mexico unless a now sltua
tlon arises.
Whatever Carranza's attitude, mili
tary authorities along the border an
nounced themselves In complete readi
ness for eventualities. At every pAlnt
where the threat of the de facto sol
diers exists prepartlon was made for
the protection of American lives and

Gen. Frederick Funston, command
ing the border forces will designate

the occasion shall require.
In announcing the orders Secretary
Baker said the state forces would bo

and that no additional troop move
ments Into Mexico were contemplated
except in pursuit of raiders.
Simultaneously with the National
Quard call. Secretary Daniels of the
Navy Department ordered additional
war vessels to Moxlceui waters on both
coasts to safegard American lives.
At tho War, Navy and State De

Within the last two weeks, how
ever, tension has been Increasing
! steadily. The crisis presented by Gen

tionary force lias been followod by a
virtual ultimatum served on the

Russians are now rlilving on I.emburg
with renewed vigor. Tiny are now
but forty-four miles from the liallc.an
fortress, according to information re
ceived froui the trout.
Russian forces are pouring, a.ross
the Pruth at Czernowltz and Bnlatln,
while the are flee

filly miles of territory lying between
the Uukowlna capital anil 'JaUloislUa

Heavy lighting Is in process be- c

Kovel and the Toutonlc forces oppos
ing them In the Htokhud-Styr sec:or,
the lierlln was office announced. The
Russian attacks, says the statement
have been partly repulsed by moans of
successful counter attacks.
The capture of Czernowltz Is an Im
portiuit one, as it entails the command
of several Important railway lines. The
city had been untenable for several
days because of the tremendous Rus
sian bombardment, which compelled
the flight of the civil Inhabitants and
evacuation of the place by the Aus
trian forces. It Is expected that fur
ther detnlls of the rapture will show
that both sides suffered sanguinary
losses.
Tho recapture of Ciernowltz by tha
Russians conies at a dramatic in iment,
It happenln,, only a few daya after the
Austrian*, wlih Imposing ceremony,
had unveiled on tlie city hall a double
headed eagle, Huch MB the Russians
had removed during their Occupation
of the city last year.
The Russian official arp iijnt mnkei
the Interesting revelation that (Jerman
reinforcements havo already been
brought from the French front to the
aasistance of the hard-pressed Aus
trlans.
Kovel, while It remains In Austria')
hands, Is an Ideal base for operations
against the Russian flank In Volhynla,
and It remains to bo seen whether Oer
many can afford tin bring enough
troops from tho Verdun enterprise, or
the Austrlana from their operation*
against Italy, to save the situation
and hold the salient formed by the
resistance they liave inaliiln'ne I on
their center, while tho RiiSHlaris
thrust In on U\c two flanks, through
l>uf»k and Czernowltz. What seems
clear Is that the Russian drive must
lmve a tremendous Induenco In all the
theatres of the war.
