Stern Notice That United States Er
. pects Early' Statement of Purpose
of Carranza Government Mexican
Government Cannot Erade Respon-
' sibility ..-",. . V"
"Washington Dispatch, Jane 25.
k' . A" demand for the immediate re
lease of the American troops taken
prisoner at Carrizal, coupled with a
stern notification that the ..United
States expects an early statement of
the purposes of the Carranza govem
t ment, was telegraphed to Mexico City
today by Secretary Lansing.
v The note discloses that the State
Department received yesterday a
communication stating that the Car
rizal fight was the direct result of
i orders to attack American soldiers
moving otherwise than toward the
border, personally issued by -General
Carranza to General Trevino, -and
by the latter communicated to Gen
eral Pershing. In reply, Secretary
Lansing resufres that the defacto
government transmit a definite state
ment "as to the course of action it
has determined upon," through the
"'usual diplomatic channels," and not
through subordinate military offi
cers." - : . . . . ' '.
The Mexican communication is
construed, Secretary Lansing states,
as a formal avowal of deliberately
hostile action against the forces of
the-United States now in Mexico and
of the purpose to attack without pro
location whenever, they move from
their present position, despite the
friendly mission on which they .are
engaged and which is reaffirmed in
the American rejoinder. General Car
Tanza is required to place himseir
on record formally and the plain in
timation lies behind the restrained
language of Mr. Lansing's commun
ication that, force will be met with
' force. Apparently, however, the
"Washington trtwernment is determin
ed that the defacto government shall
not evade responsibility before the
" world if war is forced on the United
The note and the military situation
of the United States were talked ov
er by the President with Senator
Stone of the Foreign Affairs commit-
After the conference which lasted
more than a hour, Senator Stone
said the situation was "exceedmelv
acute". The President had felt it
necessary to acquaint Congress with
the state of affairs and the action
taken, through the Foreign Affairs
committe. It was indicated that he.
might desire to . address a joint ses
sion of the House and Senate in a"
day or two, but would iot make this
final steo until the government' of
"Mexico should be given ah opportun
ity to reply. . .
The" President told" those at the
conference- tonight of the, note from
General Carranza avowing the at
tack on American troops at Carri
zal and of the replv that he had di
rected to be sent. Senator Stone was
ver emnhatic afterwards in regard
to the demand for release of .the
- prisoners. ' :'We" must have those
men." he 'said solemnly. : "
The Senator made no effort to
Tiide his own. belief that war vir
tually is her. A final report from
General Pershing1 was necessary, he
tsaid, in order that a dear knowledge
of what had happened at Camzal
should be at hand. "But if they .are
going to .attack our men without
cause," he said, "there isvonlyone
thing to do. We wilt never "have
-peace down thereuntil we use force
"enough to compel it." v ,
There is reason to believe that the
military situation may be influene-
- Ing the administration's diplomatic
course as well as the desire to make
it clear to the world, and particular
ly to the Latin-American nations,
that the United States is beinsr forc
ed into warlike measures by the hos-
t tility of General Carranza.

Washington Dispatch, June 23. !
Legislative approval of President
Wilson's use of the National Guard
in the Mexican Trisis was voted al
most unanimously by the House to
day in adopting a resolution declar
ing the existence of an emergency
and giving the President a free hand
to draft as Federal soldiers all

$50 a. month. -;,.
. Only Two Negative Votes
" Only two representatives, a Social
ist and a Democrat, voted against the
resolution. Preceding its adoption
several Republicans attacked the ad
ministration's Mexican policy, andj
insisted that President Wilson should
have informed Congress of the emer
gency instead of expecting it to act
on its own initiative. No one at
tempted, to deny, however, that an
emergency had arisen, and Republi
can Leader Mann, former Speaker
Cannon and others declared that in
reality a 'state of war existed.
Chirman Hay,' of the' Military com
mittee, author of the resolution, told
the" house it was presented by the
administration as necessary in the
Mexican situation and not as a de
claration that a state of war exist
ed or was to be contemplated.
; ' Gives Authority . o . President
As introduced the resolution merely
authorizes the sPresident to draft
guardsmen, whenever an emergency
exists which demands the use of
troops in addition to the regular army.-;

The amendment, making-it declare
that' in the opinion of Congress such
an emergency has arisen was 'offered
by Mr. Hay and .was adopted unani

In a letter received by Mr. Oli
ver Nance from his sister, Miss Lil
lian. Nance, who is at the summer
School of the South, Knoxville. Tern,
she says that there are five you g
ladies at that school who will teach
m the Lumberton graded scool next
session. These are Misses Effie New
ton, Elizabeth Belk, Elizabeth Snead,
Lillie Barker and Miss Nance.
The fact that the Raleigh A'
Charleston passenger train is run
right up in front of the union station
and remaining there smoking .he pas
sengers for some time before the
Seaboard train comes, and, too, that
it is fired up in the morning in that
same position, is causing some peo
ple to "kick". The soot from the
smokestack has ruined a number of
straw hats recently. Wouldn't it be
better to let the passengers depart
from the train and then run the en
gine back away from the station?
This is done in most cases where
conditions are the same as here:
