not sting you even if they should hap

.CARRANzh AGREES
|. TO RELEASE OF
TROOPERS
Immediate Break With De FaGtO
Government AVerted
CRISIS IS MUCH LESS ACUTE
Twenty-Three Negro CaValrynen
Captured at CarrizaI on Way to
Texas Border.

Washington, June 29,-An immedi-
ate break between the United States
and the de iacto government OF Mexico
has been averted by compliance with
the American demand for the release
of the 90 troopers captured in the iight
at Carrizal. Whether a state OF war
has been prevented or merely post
poned no one at Washington would at
tempt to say last night. Official infcr
nation as to the attitude of Gen. Car
rama was lacking. Until his response
to Secretary Lansing's note dispatched
Sunday, making two peremptory and
distinct demands is received, there
will be no decision on whether Presi-
dent Wilson shall lay the crisis before
Congress.
News of the release of the prisoners,
received early last night in press dls-
patches, brought undisguised rellef 10
high officials. 1t was accepted as cor
rect. although no announcement had
come through official sources. More
over, 1t was assumed that Gen. Car
rama, impressed with the urgency OF
the situation. had ordered the captured
cavalrymen started for the border
without waiting for his announcement
of the action to reach Washington.
While it is generally conceded that
this move lessons tension and makes
the crisis less imminent, no one con-
Versant with the grave problem is los
ing sight of the fact that the all-im-
/ portant question of Carranza's attitude
| toward the American expedition across
| the border to protect the territory and
citizens of the United States from ban
| dit outrages remains unsettled. If the
| de fact6 government stands upon the
| orders to Gen Trevino to attack Gen
Pershings men when they move 9TH
! erwise than toward the border, the
| situation actually is just what it was
before except that there now is a pos
sibility of diplomatic negotiations that
did not exist while the Americans were
held prisoners at Chihuahua.
The preparations of the United
States for war will go steadily for
ward. There will be no interruption
of the rush of national guardsmen to
the border, and Gen Funston will con-
tinue disposing of the forces under his
command as if he expected an imme-
diate attack from the Mexicans.

from the war front in France, where
he had many interesting and exciting
experiences.
Some time ago. while travelling in
thirdclass railway carriage in the
north of England, Mr.. Birrell found
himself in an amusing although very
embarrassing position.
He was only just in time to catch
the train and sat down hurriedly next
to little girl in shawl and clogs.
Happening to glance at her a mo-
ment or two afterward, he saw that
she appeared very uneasy and was re-
garding him with no great favor.
Then 1t was that 1t dawned upon
him that he was sitting upon her
newspaper.
Here, my dear" said Mr.. Birrell.
pulling the paper from under him and
handing It to her, I'm sorry!"
The little girl did not look quite
satisfied; but she said nothing till a
few minutes later when the train drew
mp at the station.
Please, sir" she then inquired.
Tieekly, as she rose to get out, may
have my fried fish? 1t was in the
