WILSON SENDS
NOTE TO GARRANZA
War Hay Break Out Any
Moment.
ALARMED FOR AMERICANS
State Department. Sends Emphatic
Message, Urging Them To Get
Out Of Country Quickly
As Possible.

Washington. Upon General Car
ranza's reception of stern refusal to
heed his demands for recall of Ameri-
can troops from Mexico hinges the
question of Mexican war, in the opin-
lon of President Wilson's close adj
yisers. They are prepared for the pos
sibility of open hostilities after the
note has reached Carranza's hands.
No indication has come that the
First Chiefs attitude of implacable
hostility would. be shaken by the reiter-
ated declaration of the latest communi-
cation that the United States has no
aggressive or warlike purpose toward
Mexico, but is firmly resolved to pro-
tect her borders and end brigandage in
the border states.
Secretary Lansing had intended to
send the reply forward Monday, but at
the last moment minor changes and adj
ditions to the 6,00O-word document
necessitated delay. Although it had
been planned to send it by special mes
senger to Mexico City, the situation
has changed and it probably will be
handed to EIiseo Arredondo, Mexican
acknowledgements.
While the diplomatic steps were in
progress Monday, the nation was stir
ring throughout its width and breadth
with the movement of National Guards
men mobilizing to guard the border.
At least 100000 and possibly a, few
larger number were preparing for
active service under President Will
sons call. For the present their mis-
sion will be purely one of defense; but
should war come, they will be ready
also for that. They will not be as
signed for border duty until mustered
into the Federal service.
Even when mobilization is COM
pleted, only such units will be ordered
South as General Funston desires to
fill the gaps in his 1,800-mile guard
line. The remainder will rest on their
arms at the State mobilization camps
for the present, awaiting the turn OF
events.
Mexico Aflame Against United States.
Official reports from many quarters
show that flame of popular feeling
against the United States is being
kindled throughout Mexico. Apparent
ly it is being done with the sanction of
General Carranza, for the acts in many
cases are those of his authorized milf
tary 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 condi-
tions prevail everywhere, it is said.
Clashes such as that between Mexican
troops and American bluejackets at
Mazatlan show that relations are
strained to the breaking point. The
act of subordinate commander any
where may bring on fighting that win
result in war.

long hours of work. Men do not break
down from overwork. but from worry
and dissipation.
81 notice that most successful men
are those whose minds are always
cool, who, no matter how swift the
movements of their bodies, are able
to deliberate coolly and to produce
calm, sober judgment even under dis
turbing circumstances. 1t is not the
man who reaches the corner first who
wins. but the man who knows exactly
what he is going to do when he
reaches the corner.
al regard a successful man as one
who has utilized to its fullest extent
the best ability in him. One man may
have great ability as a money-maker;
then he would be successful when he
had made much money. Another man
may have ability as an artist; he Is
successful when he has won fame by
his art. II man leaves any one OF
his talents to lie idle he is not sue
cessful man. Mere money-making is a
poor sort OF success.
"My views on religion are not what
most of my church friends would re-

that It should be supported. There is

power for good. whether one agrees
or not with the teachings OF its min
lsters''
