How Sudden Action In Mexican
Crisis Is Considered
NATIONAL GUARD CALLED OUT
Important and Urgent Reports From
Funston Believed 10 Have Led 10
order OF President Calling Out
About tc0, 600 TrooEs TO Go to
Frontier--Graye Concern Manifested

Washington, June - President
Wilson yesterday afternoon issued a
call TO national Guard organizations OF
every state In the union for service
on the Mexican border.
Although the parpose OF the action
ms set forth In the formal call is tor
the protection OF the American from
tier from invasion, the opinion pre-
vailing throughout Washington IS
that Il marks the first step OF inter
vention in Mexico.
Washington Is the scene OF intense
excitement. The war department was
lighted up last night from the base
ment TO the roof. The action is un-
derstood to have been preeipitated by
a dispatch from General Funston pre-
dieting trouble all along the Rio
Grande in an effort on the part or
the Mexicans TO force the Americans
to withdraw from Mexican soil.
A number OF lengthy reports we're
received at the department during
the day. but Secretary Baker refused
10 make their contents public. Al
though every state in the union and
the District OF Columbia is affected by
the call not all OF the organizations
of each state is called out None or
the coast artillery units OF the na-
tional guard is affected.
Strength Of Militia
According to the last reports OF the
division OF militia affairs Of the war
department. the paper" strength OF
the entire national guard exclusive OF
coast artillery was something over
III 900 enlisted men. The total num-
ber OF enlisted men called for in the
summons exclusive OF sienal Corps
and medical corps is 80, 5lS. divided
as follows: Infantry. 76.li5. cavalry,
s435; held artillery, 1928, and en-
gineers, 1910.
That the action was decided on
suddenly is indicated by the fact de-
clAred by the officers themselves, that
up to 10 o'clock Sunday morning
members OF the general stafr had not
been apprised OF the presidents in
tentions.
The gravest concern is manifested |
at the Mexican embassy. where the
fear was expressed that the action
taken would mean the beginning of |
the end" Late last night the en-
bassy received a personal telegram
from General Carranza asking the
status of conditions in Washington,
and indicating that he was totally in
the dark as to the new steps taken
by the president.
The telegram added. however,
that there appeared to be state OF
more or less excitement throughout
the northern states OF Mexico in tho
vicinity OF the border, and Carranza
stated that at Mexico City the cause
OF the disturbance was not known.

the president and indicating that It
a determination on the part
OF the administration to take drastic
steps TO suppress the incursions into
American territory.
Oficials OF the war department said
the state troops will be kept at their
respective mobilization centres, sub
iect TO the call OF Funston. and will
be sent to him as needed.

Mexico Stirring up strife

Official repoets from many quar-
ters show that a flame OF popular feel
ing against tile United States is be-
ing kindled throughout Mexico. APP
parently il is being done with the
sanction OF General Carranza, for the
acts in many cases are those Of his
authorized military or civil agents.
From Juarez to the west coast of
Mexico posters have appeared calling
the people TO arms, and asserting
that the United States is preparing to
hurl its armies into Mexico. Chaotic
conditions prevail everywhere, 1t is
said. Clashes such as that between
Mexican troops and American blue
jackets at Mazatlan Sunday show that
relations are strained to the break
ing point.
Neither state department officials
nor members of the diplomatic corps
here have been able to satisfy them
selves as to Carranza's motives.
