TO RELEASE PRISONERS;

LANSING DISPATCHES
NOTE TO GARRANZA
President Wilson Summoned
Foreign Affairs Committee
Heads to White House for
Sunday Night Conference on
Mexican Situation.
NOTE IS RECEIVED FROM
DE FACTO GOVERNMENT
States That Carrlzal Fight Was Direct
Result of Boldlers Moving Other
wlee Than Towarda the border aa
Ordered by Carranza and Communi
cated to General Pershing.
38,000 MILITIAMEN IN
EAST GO IN CAMPS
New York.—Mors than 38,000
of the 128,000 National Guards
men of the Department of the
East, comprising 22 states east
of the Mississippi and Dlstrlot
of Columbia, wsrs In mobiliza
tion csmps Sundsy night, six
days sfter the call was Issued,
according to the report forward
ed to the War Department by
Major General Wood, command
ing the department. Of this
number Massachusets contribu
ted 8,000 and New Jersey 5,000.
Washington.—A demand for the Im
mediate release ot the American troop
ers taken prisoner at Carrlzal coupled
with a stern notification that the Unlt
ed States expects an early statement
of the purposes of the Carranza Gov
ernment was telegraphed to Mexico
CHy by Secretary Lansing.
The note discloses that the State
Department received a communication
from the de facto Government stating
that the Carrlzal fight was the direct
result of orders to attack American
soldiers moving otherwise than to
wards the border personally issued by
General Carranza to General Trevlno
and by the latter communicated to
General Pershing.
In reply Secretary Lansing requires
that the de facto Government transmit
a (leflntte statement "as to the course
of action It has determined upon,"
through the usual diplomatic channels,
'and not through subordinate military
officers'."
The Mexican communication Is con
strued, Secretary Lansing states, "as
a formal avowal of deliberately hos
tile action against the forces of the
United States now In Mexico and of
the purpoee to attack without provo
cation whenever they move from their
preeent position despite the friendly
mission on which they are enfcaged
and which is re-affirmed in the Amer
ican rejoinder.
White House Confers nee.
General Carranxf is required to
place himself on record formally and
the plain intimation Ilea behind the
restrained language of Mr. Lansing's
communication that force will be met
with force. Apparently, however, the
Washington Government is determin
ed that the de facto Government shall
not evade responsibility before the
world if war is forced upon th£ United
States.
The note and the military situation
of the United State# were talked over
at the White House by the President
with Chairman Stone, of the Senate
Foreign Relatione Committee, Senator
Lodge, ranking Republican member,
and Chairman Flood of the Houais
Committee on Foreign Affaire. Rep
resentative Cooper, ranking minority
member of the Hons* Committee, waa
out of the city.
After the conference which lasted
more than aa hour. Senator Stone
■aid the situation was "exceedingly
acute." The President had felt It
necessary to acquaint Congress with
the state of affairs and the action
taken, through the Foreign Affairs
Committee. It waa Indicated that be
might desire to addrsas a joint sea■
nlon of the House and Senate in a
day or two, but would not take this
Anal step until the Mexican Govern
ment had been given an opportunity
to reply.
Warlike Say* Stone.
The President told those at the con
ference of the note from Oeneral Car
ran za avowing the attack on Ameri
can troops at Carrisal, sod ei the re
ply that he had directed to be sent.
Senator Stone was very emphatic
afterwards In regard to the demand
for release of the prisoners.
"We must have thoee men," he said
solemnly.
The Senator made no effort to Wde
his own belief that war virtually is
here. A final report from General
Pershing was necessary, he said, in
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Kenedy.
This is a remedy that every fam
ily should be provided with, and
especially during the summer
months. Think of the pain 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
everywhere. •>.
order that a clew knowledge of what
had happened at C&rrixal should be at
hand.
"But if they are going to attaok our
men without cause,' h* laid, "there la
only one thing to do. We will nerer
hare peace down there until we u*e
force enough to compel It."
There Is reason to believe that the
military situation may be influencing
the Administration's diplomatic course,
as well as the desire to make It clear
to the world and particularly to the
Latin-American Nations that the Unit
ed States is being forced Into warlike
measures by hostility of Oeneral Car
ran za.
The War Department Is making
every effort to speefl up mobilization
o the National Guard. A few com
panies have been mustered In. Others
will take th«4)ath, at once. In 48 hours,
probably, a substantial force will be
en route to the border to back up
General Funston's line.
Muat First Be Rsady.
It mar be four or five day*, how
ever, before War Department official!
would (eel safe In withdrawing regu
lars from the border patrol to form
the catting edge of whatever forca
they may hart to the support ot Gen
eral Pershing's column, should aggres
sive action be ofdered.
It seems doubtful that a formal dip
lomatic rupture will be forced before
adequate military precautions are pos
sible, particularly aa It has been Indi
cated that quick, drastic action. Is
PresldeM Wilson's desire should Gen
eral Carranza forca the use of the
army attains* htm.
Mr. Wilson's visitors sought light
on these questions. Specific figures
were not available as to the garrison?
at various border towns, the number
of guardsmen who have responded to
the President's call, or the time that
would be required to get the entire
forca to the border. These details
have been left to the War Department
and Secretary Baker was not present
ait the conference. The general situ
ation was presented, however, and
theme Is reason to suppose that the For-1
elgn Affairs Committeemen opproved
the President's coarse.
No Talk of Mediation.
One fact as to the conference Is
significant. There was no discussion
of the possibility of mediation. The
subject was not mentioned either by
the President or his callers,- Senator
Stone said.
This statement came in the face of
a formal notification to Elieeo Arre
dondo, Mexican ambassador designate,
by, his government, that it approved
the principle of mediation as pro
posed by seceral Latin-American
countries. Mr. Arrendondo expected
early authorization to begin conversa
tions with fats Latln-Amertcan col
leagues herst an effort to divert
the crisis to peaceful channels.
There waa no Indication that any
diplomat had attempted to sound Sec
retary Lansing in this respect.
It is known, however, that he
holds that the United States has noth
ing to mediate since its only object
Is the protection of Its own borders.
He has formally notified all Latin-
American diplomats that the Washing
ton government has no aggreelve pur
pose toward Mexico, but Is resolved
to free Its citizens along the border
of the danger of bandit raids.

Ban Antonio, Texas. —Left to die of
loss of blood and thirst, two miles
from the scene of the encounter be
tween Mexican and American troops
at Carrlzal, Capt. . Lewis Sydney
Morey of the Tenth Cavalry has mode
back to the American lines.
Oeneral Funston received by tele
phone from Mrß. Morey, now at
Austin, Tex., the following message
which reached her by wireless from
the field:
"Homowlicre In Mexico. Am back
oh the line with two men, safe.
"SYDNEY."
That, according to Mrs. Morey, was
the manner in which Captain Morey
signed all communications to her. A
letter from Captain Morey written
while hiding in a hole near the sceno
of the light at Carrlzal, after his men
had been broken and scattered by
the Mexican force, was received by
General Funston through General
Pershing.
Lstter Tells of Ambush.
In that letter Captain Morey had
described how, fearing an ambush,
the American troopers had advanced
In battle formation on the Mexicans
who had come out from Carrlzal dur
ing a parely over permission for the
Americans to pass through the town;
how the Mexicans had opened fire,
and how the remaining Americans
had been forced to retreat and scat
tar, each for himself. Army officers
here hope that the return of Captain
Morey will serve to provide tho mis
sing links in the story of tho encount
er at Carrlxal and determine the fate
of each member of the little recon
nolterlng expedition.
How Captain Morey managed to
make his way to the American main
column, a distance of more than 80
miles, is unknown here, but it Is In
ferred he was picked up by a de
tachment of the rescuing force sent
out by General Pershing. He was
without food or water In a desert
country and It Is believed his suffer
ings must have been Intense. Noth
ing to confirm rumors of a clash be
tween Pershing's men and the Carran
zlstas was received by tfeneral Fun
ston tonight and- all was reported
quiet along the border.
Left to Dl* In D«**rt.
Captain Morey wrote hi* lotter at
9:15 a. m„ June 21, while hiding In
a hole about 2,000 yarda from tho
■cene of the battle. Captain Morey
was wounded and had another wound
ed man with him. Tho threo un
woundod men were picked up by a
detachment under Lieut. Henry A.
Meyer, Jr., of the Tenth Cavalry and
the letter brought to General Persh
ing today.
Captain Morey was left to dl« upon
the desert from thirst and hi* wounds.
The men abandoned bltn at hia own

had carried him, according to their
stories, to Lieut. Meyer from the hole
Where he had hidden and made their
way nearly two mile* from tho bat

There they hailed and Captain Boyd
sent a courier Into Carrlxal asking
permission of General Felix Gomez
to enter the town, saying he was go

plied that he would not be allowed
to enter the town, but might make a

Fearing that they were about to be

COLONEL SENDS STATEMENT
In Declining Theodora Roosevelt De
clares For Justice.—lndorsement
Was Led By Perklne of New York.
Chicago.—The Progressive National
Committee voted to Indorse Charlea
E. Hughes for President. The vote
was 32 to 6. with nine declining to
vote on the ground that the commit
tee was exceeding Its power In taking
such action.
By a vote of 31 to 16 the committee
went on record as opposed to putting
a third ticket In the field. The com
mute* voted down a motion to sub
stitute the name of Victor Murdock,
of Kansas, to nil the vacancy caused
by the declination of Theodore Roose
velt to head the Progressive ticket.
The fight for the Hughes Indorse
ment was led by George W. Perkins
of New York; James It. GarflQld of
Ohio, and Chester H. Howell of Cali
fornia.
The radical element In the commit
tee, represented by Matthew Hale of
Masachusetts, Balnbridge Colby of
New York, Henry V. Cochems of Wis
consin, John M, Parkor of Louisiana,
vigorously protested against the in
dorsement of any candidate for Presi
dent and fought the majority at every
step of the proceedings. The minor
ity's first move was to Insist on an
open session of the committee and It
won this point after a number of com
mitteemen led by John M. Parker,
bolted the -meeting.
After Oscar King Davis, secretary
of the committee, had read a lotter
from Colonel Roosevelt filially de
clining the Progressive nomination
for President and urging that Mr
Hughes be supported by members o
the Progressive parly In order to de
feat President Wilson, the committee
voted to accept Colonel Roosevelt's
declination and took a recess for
luncheon.
The following slates voted for the
Indorsement of Hughes on the roll

President Grace Offers FacllltlM «
Big Staal Plant to Government ll
Event of War at Own Terms.
President K. O. Orace, of the Bethla
hem fiteol company, bai written • I*l
tor to Senator Benjamin R. Tillman
chairman of the aenate committee 01
naval affairs, In which he makes ai
entirely new oder.
This offer hi to the effect that Ml
company will manufacture armor plat!
for the government at actual coat pint
such overhead expense* as the federal
trade commission may determine ty
be fair.
Tresldent Grace, after reciting thi
fact that the naval appropriation Ml
us It comes to tbe senate from till
bouse contains a provision U> construe!
a government armor plant nt a coat oi
«1i,000,000, says: "The Bethlehem
Steel company will agree, for suet
period as tbe government may deslg
nate as fully protecting the publll
Interest, to manufacture armor pint!
for the government of the United
States at actual cost of operation plui
such charges for overhead expense*
Interest, and depreciation as the ted
eral trade commission may decide U
be fair."
I'resldent Orace not only denlas thai
the company's act it In the nature ot ,
a "deathbed" repentance, but be aIM
declares that the company doe* not
for one moment concede that Um
prices charged for armor In the paitj J
$432.62 per ton, have been unreason
a (do. Hlnce 1887, the government hat
taken but a trifle over twenty-five pel
cent of the company's capacity for a*
mor plate production. Had a large*
tonnage been contracted for, tb« prlct
would have been lower. President
Grace declares that the - '•i
--f1i,000,000 plant will cost over |ll«
000,000, and that his company can man
ufacture for the government cheapei
than the government can do for Itaety
■-"It Is said," President Grace's let
ter continues, "that a government
plant should be built to take the profit
out of war. Our company haa no in
cllnatlon to make capital out of th
military necessities of the United )
StatoM. In the event of war or threat
oned war, all the farllltlee we have fat
any purpose are at the disposal of thi
United States government upon Itl
own terms. That means not only oui
armor plant; it Includes our commer
clal plant, and our ordnance-maklnf
facilities. We have urged no pro
gram of preparedness: we desire onl)
to lie able to servo the government ai
we may be called upon." 1
President Grace states that his ai>
mor plant was built at the request ot
the government, that thla request hast
by the Implicit action of succeeshrt
secretaries of the navy, been frequent
ly renewed; (list the Bethlehem Steel
company has reiufatedly agreed t«
place &!l the figures relating to the cost.
or armor plate production at the dial
possl or committees of congress or the
nary department and that the senatsj
committee's own figures show that the
United States has for twenty years okj
tain* 1 armor plate at a price leee than
that paid by any of the great naval '
powers.
Arter reciting that some (20,000,004
are how Invested In three armor mato'
Ing plants. President Grace urges the e
committee to reconsider Its previou*
recommendation that a government
plant be built, not "with reference M.
the Interests of the Bethlehem Steel
company, b it with supreme regard fat
adequate national dofense and sound
public policy." jfjSH
