CARRANzA SENDS A
NOTE TO PRESIDENT
CONSTITUTIONALIST GENERALS
ATTITUDE CAUSES A HUR.
RlED CONFERENCE.
ASKS U. S. TO WITHDRAW
Wants Americans to Get Out Of Vera
Cruz and Leave Whole Situation
to Him.

Washington. - General Carranza's
note to President Wilson, declaring
the seizure Of Vera Cruz by American
forces a violation Of the National SOW
ereignty of Mexico, inviting the Unit
ed States to suspend hostile opera
tons and withdraw its forces and
suggesting that the Constitutional
Government should receive demands
for r%eparation Of offenses committed
by Huerta, stirred the Mexican stu
alton to a new and acute crisis.
Opposition to the American Gov
ernment's action, coming from an
unexpected quarter, after the Wash
ington Administration had hoped for
an attitude of neutrality from the
Constitutionalists, brought the Gov
eminent face to face with. possible
hostility from the great body OF
Mexican forces lying in proximity to
the Southern border Of the United
States.
Rumor Of q possible restoration OF
the embargo on arms, current during
the day, were revived and 1t was the
subject of the War Department con-
ference Precautions against upris-
ings on the border as a possible result
Of Carranza's opposition to the Amer
lean Governments course also were
believed to be under consideration.
The joint Army and Navy Board 1t
recommended the restoration OF the
embargo.
While Mexican Constitutionalist
representatives here protested to see
a tone of friendliness in Carranza's
note, its blunt request for the with.
drawal of the American forces from
Vera Cruz and its virtual demand for
recognition of the rebels are repre-
senting the constitutional government
of Mexico injected phases which made
Administration officials manifestly
uneasy. g.
Plans thus far made by the Army
and Navy Board to obtain reprisals
from Huerta had contemplated no
move along the American border.
Should hostility develop among the
Constitutionalists, plans of the Army
will be changed Immediately.
The knowledge that Carranza, while
refusing to make common cause with
Huerta, might be disposed of his own
initiative to resent the acts of the
American Government, made the
problem admittedly more grave than
1T ever has been.
General Witherspoon positively de-
clined to discuss the subject of the
embargo on arms. He said no orders
for the movement Of troops had been
issued yet, but that the border forces
might be strengthened at certain
points, particularly along the Imper'
ial Valley.
In this valley is located a great
Government irrigation project.
Replying to a telegram from Score
tary Bryan at Washington General
|, Carranza telegraphed that the Unit
ed States is not justified in occupying
Mexican territory.
"The INVASION" says the letter,
twill drag US (Mexico) Into an un,
equal war with dignity, but which
until today we desired to avoid"

HORSE SHOW cREDlTABLE.
Kentucky Judge Deems It Worthy of
Blue Grass.

: Columbia-"A very creditable show.
1t was well worth seeing. All that
was lacking was the attendance"
This opinion Of the first, annual
show Of the Columbia Horse Show
association was expressed by ]. Miller
Ward Of Paris, KY, who has judged
the entries. The last ribbon was
awarded a few days ago and the show
closed that night with a ball at the
Jefferson hotel.
The skies were murky on the last
day. but what was lacking in the
weather was more than made up by
the spirited performances in the ring.
"a fine ring Of horses" said the
judge of the entries in the combina-
ton classes, three gaits. Those
horses would make a good show in
Kentucky" he said of the champion
saddle horses, three gaits. rs
