Congress Takes Action
Personal Investi ieation.

Only preliminary and inclusive
report on the Carrizal clash came
from General Pershing during the day.
The last word on the, Mazatlan Incl.
dent will follow a full report from Ad..
miral Winslow, commanding the Pa
cifc feet, who has been ordered to
make a personal investigation. sr,si,.

on each incident have ebsen received,
from war and navy department, 0ta-
cias transmitted as matter of infor.
nation. 5
When the record is completed In
each department, formal account will
be submitted to Secretary Lansing.
and the action Of the United States
will then be determined. tGr
Evidence now in hand is believed to
be sufficient to show that CarranIa
sympathizers or officials probably will
be held responsible in both cases. 1t
was thought probable tonight that tha
president would demand that Carran.
"a repudiate the acts and punish those
responsible.
Discuss Mexican Crisis.
Mr.. Wilson and his cabinet dis
cussed the Mexican crisis today, but
pending the receipt of final reports on
the occurrences at Carrizal and Mazat.
Ian, no course could be mapped out.
The only announcement after the
meeting was that the governments
policy was unchanged.
New indications came today that
Carranza and his advisers, impressed
by the arguments of European repre-.
sentatives of the OminOus Significance
of the preparations for war ordered
by President Wilson, were searching
for peaceful solution of the dispute
they have raised.
Elisio Arredondo Mexican ambas-
Sador-designate, made the rounds OF
The Latin-American embassies and le.
cations with assurances from his gov.
ernment that the Mexican troops had
no aggressive purpose against the
American columns, and would attack
only if the Americans were on the Of
fensive. His advice, however, did not
say what would be regarded as often
sive operations.
Mr.. Arredondo was assured by tho
diplomats, on whom he called, that
their government earnestly hoped
peace would be preserved between tho
Unitd Stats and Mexico. If the Mexi.
can representatives purpose to initiate
some step toward an offer Of media
tion. it had not borne any fruit to-
night. Secretary Lansing said no sug-
gestion that the dispute be submitted
to arbitration had come as yet.
Use Of Militia Approved.
Legislative approval Of President
wilson's use of the National guard In
the Mexican crisis was voted almost
unanimously today by the house. in
adopting the resolution declaring the
existence of an emergency and givins
the President free hand to draft -

ent families of the guardsmen -
drafted. Distribution Of the fund
would be left to the war department,
with the rest. iction that no family
should receive more than $5Q;Oeo Q
month.
Only two representatives, social.
ist and democrat, voted against the
resolution.
No one attempted to deny that an
emergency had arisen, and republican,
