WASHINGTON, ID. c., June IL. -
Warning from the Mexican commander
that any move except retirement of the
United States troops would precipitate
hostilslies will not change the purpose
of the United States To keep the expedi-
tion in North Mexico and the Mexican
policy is unchanged. Secretary Of State
Lansing said today that the Carranza
reply will not be sent today as he is
awaiting details on new developments
which Carranza will be asked To explain.
Major General Frederick Funston ad-
yised the war department today of Gen
eral Trevino's threat against General
pershings expedition, although no word
has come from General Pershiiig himself.
Preparations are being made for any
eventualities and General Pershing is
ready to deal with any force that may
be sent against him. II is probable.
however, that he will hold to the pres
ent lines and make no move that will
precipitate hostilities.
General Funston also reported that
Major Gray has returned from pursuit
~ the San Ignacio bandits. without hav-
iIrp encountered them or finding their
trails. even after crossing into Mexico
for two hours stay.
Major Gray reported thar he had re-
ceived assurances of cooperation from
the Mexican commanders across the line.
Mexican officers said they had captured
twenty men believed TO have been en-
gagged in the San Ignaci0 attack.
Diplomatic officials are inclined to be-
lieve that if Trcvino did serve the war
ming il was done for home consumption
rather than prelude to hostilities. 1t
was hhought il might be political move
BY Carranza designed to offset activities
of the anti-American e!:ment in Mexico

The MiLifiaman,a storv.

College men who are members of the militia tell some phony stories and still get by with them as truths. One of these stories was told in Plainfield a short time ago when a college man who is a member of the Yale battalion was home on a furlough
 While standing in the railroad sta- ton the baggage master walked in and inquired of him tho condition of his wound. The nilitiaman responded that it was improving wonderfully. The baggage master asked if he would not like to have shot at the greaser who nipped him. The answer was: You just bet"
 At this moment a bystander walked up and tapped the college youth on the shoulder, inquiring if he was with the r. S troops at Mexico. Then the college youth left George Washingtons class by saying "Yes." The bystander eagerly asked him to explain how he was shot. Without the slightest heSi- tation, the following story was told:
 "A number of us boys were anxious to go in swimming and fearing the treacherous Mexicans, three were sta- toned on shore to guard. was one of the three. l was on guard cnly a short time when a pistol cracked and I felt a sharp pain on my left arm. (rra n,11lod 1,o h7- ~lccve end shower .
