It was made plain by Secretary;
Lansing to Ignacio 1 CalderoD
minister of Bolivia, who -called
with the intention of askinwheth'

Mr. Lansing talked with- the
minister for half an hour J andVis
understood to have told him thlt
the blame for the grave ' outlook
rested squarel.r upon General Car
ranza. The attitude of the;Uni ted
States was so fully outlined .that
Mr. Calderon did tot mention ai

approached the Mexican embassy
n the subject of mediation and
received assurances that . the Car
anza government was favorable
o the principal would not tender
their gooJ offices to the United
States. He indicated that . the at
tempt to arrange mediation might
be renewed if'General Carranza's
reply to Secretary Lansing's last
aote furnished any basis on which
the proposal could be founded.
Waiting on Carranza,
The United States now is wait
ing for Carranza's final word in
reply to the note sent yesterday
demanding release of the prisoners
taken at Carrizal and a formal
diplomatic announcement of in
tentions. The note reached Mexico City
late last night. Special Agent
Rodgers reported its receipt, add
ing that he hbd failed in his first
efforts to place it in the hands of
the Carranza minister of foreign
relations. Undoubtedly it was de
livered today. Officials looked for
an answer within a day or two at
most.
Meanwhile both Congress and
the, War Department put new ui
gency into their preparations for
war. There were indications that
should a formal break occur to
ward the end of the week, General
Funston will be - in a position to
defend the border adequately and

Strongly denounce the use of our
soil as a base for alien intrigues,
for conspiracies and the fomenting
of disorders in the interest of any
