Carranza Demands Withdrawal
of Troops.

Washington, May 31.-Elise
Arredondo, Mexican ambassador
designate, today delivered to the
state department note from
General Carranza in which the
first chief" demands an expla-
nation for the action of the Unit
ed States in keeping its troops in
Mexico. The note repeats the de-
mand formerly made that the
troops be withdrawn at once.
Carranza very plainly states in
the note the failure to recall the
troops creates a suspicion of the
real intentions Of the United
States government. He says that
if the intentions of this govern
ment are sincere the troops will
be ordered out of Mexico at once.
The note is firmer in tone than
any previously sent by the Con-
stitutionalist chief.
Officials at the state and war
departments believe that the de-
livery of the note brings the Mexi-
can situation to head. No at
tempt is made to disguise the be-
lief that Carranza intends by a
show Of force to make the United
States answer his note Immediate
~.
Officials say the massing of so
many troops in northern Mexico
can mean only that Carranza is
determined that the American
troops must get out.
What answer will be made to
Carranza's demands is problemat-
ical, officials cay.
