DRASTIC ACTION IS
OPPOSED BY SOME
Representative of Carranza
Says Americans Want to
Stay in Mexico.

Some Americans in Mexico do not
approve any drastic action which they
do not consider justified" and some
have expressed a desire to stay in
Mexico, even If the United States de
clares war. according to the Mexican
ambassador designate of the Carranza
government here.
The Mexican embassy this afternoon
issued a statement. over the signature
Of Ambassador Arredondo. which said:
"The confidential agent of the Mexi-
can government in Washington is in re-
ceipt of a telegram from Mexico City
stating that several American citizens
who have property or employment in
the state of Tabasco. have called upon
Gen. Mujica, governor of the above
mentioned state, and declared they have
no intention of leaving Tabasco, even
in case the United States should declare
war on Mexico. and they have further
stated they are not in accord with the
above policy, regardless of what the
circumstances may be-"
Americans Guaranteed Safety.
'.The department of foreign affairs
has telegraphed to the governor of
Tabasco that the Americans referred to
may remain within Tabasco's territory
and that in the event of war they
will have every safeguard and guar
antee for their persons and property.
and that the same guarantee will be
afforded all foreigners throughout the
country. The attitude of these Amerf-
cans is self-explanatory. and clearly in
dicates that the good elements of the
American people in Mexico do not ap-
prove any drastic action which they
do not consider justified.
Another patriotic manifestation of
working men. women and boys. includ-
ing hundreds Of school children, took
place yesterday afternoon. led by bands
of music They marched in orderly
fashion through principal streets of the
capital and halted at the National
Palace. where they were addressed by
Mr.. Carranza and other leaders in the
same tone and sentiment exhibited on
similar occasions this week. With the
exception of this absolute quiet pre-
vailed throughout the city, and there
are no Indications of excitement
Thousands of Volunteers.
Next Sunday military instruction will
begin for thousands of volunteers in sew
eral places throughout the country. First
Chief is receiving thousands of offers of
young men ready to join the army. From
one place alone 5000 miners offered to
enlist in body, the only thing limiting
the number of volunteers being the supply
of arms and ammunition.
"It is reported that no molestation has
been suffered by foreigners and the police
anything which might harass foreigners
Reports received from Yucatan indicate
that the distribution of lands among In
dams and persons despoiled of them by
previous governments is well under way
Gov. de la Huerta reports from Sonora

and stood without an umbrella in a
rain. He manifested special
interest in the Signal Corps and bat
TALON of negro militia. Secretary
Baker recognized one of his messen-
gers, who is a captain.
The President doffed his hat in sa-
luting Gen. W. E. Harvey of the DIS
trict guardsmen and also when color
bearers passed by with flags flying.
Thousands of persons gathered along
the streets to watch the guardsmen.
Both sides of Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween 18th and 18th streets were lined,
several rows deep, with people, many
waving flags.
Employees of the Treasury and of the
State. War and Navy buildings were
out in full force. gathering on the
steps and in every available window.

Secretary Baker at Capitol.

Secretary Of War Baker conferred at
the Capitol today with Senator Cham
berlain' chairman Of the military af-
fairs committee. regarding the Mexi-
can situation generally. The Secretary
announced afterward that he had not
discussed legislation at all and Senator
Chamberlain insisted that the Secre-
tary had not asked for any iegislative
action nor suggested any.
1t was merely personal visit"
Secretary Baker said. we talked
about the army and militia generally
but no legislation of any kind was
considered"
Senator Chamberlain said that II still
was the disposition of Congress to de-
lay action on resolution to provide
for making the National Guard eIiri.Ie
for foreign service. One subject dis
cussed was the matter of handling the
militia after the various state oreaui-
cations report to the War Department
for service. Some officials insist that
there must be some authorization given
for the militia to serve with the army
either on the border or in foreign ter.

May Make General Advance.

May Make General Advance.
In case 1t becomes necessary to ac,
in Mexico. as a preliminary step to an
occupation such as that limited at In
Mr.. Lansing's note. and pending the
organization of an army Of the size
such an undertaking would require, II
is regarded as possible that a general
advance from the border to a line
paralleling the head of Gen. Pershing's
column at Namiquipa might be under
taken. with American forces disposed
along such a line. holding important
towns and strategic points from the
Pacific to the gulf coasts. there could
be no fear of serious hostilities at the
border. Any advancing Mexican force
would be subject to attack from the
rear should it move northward of this
advanced line
There is no fear here for the safety
of Gen. Pershing and his men. The ex
act disposition of the troops. even the
exact number now beyond the border.
constitute military secrets. There is
reason to believe, however. that be-
tween 10000 and 1900 regulars are
posted at the advance camps or along
the line of communication. Relief ex-
petitions also are said to have been or
ganized also at various points. ready
to dash forward in flank attacks on any
large Mexican force which might at
tempt to assault Gen. PershinS's en-
trenched camps or cut him OF from his
border base of supplies.
Ready to Cover Pulpit Pass.
One column, with strong artillery
support. is said to be ready to cover
Pulpit Pass. the military highway
through the mountains between the
states of Chihuahua and Sonora ard
through which the formidable Sonora
garrisons might seek to strike al
Pershing's rear detachments
1t was pointed out that establishment
of a general line across Mexico south Of
Pulpit Pass would close that route tc
hostile forces. Another argument ad-
vanced in support Of the plan of action
was that the various railroads could be
quickly repaired and made use of tc
supply the troops, making it possible
to shift the entire scene of hostilities
on to Mexican soil.
Some officials believe that with the
prompt repulse of any attack or
American forces and the maintenance
of rigid watch over the supplies that
enter the country. complete occupation
could be carried out with little fight
ing after the lapse of a few weeks
While rowing bands OF outlaws would
make vigilance essential it was though,
organized resistance could be quickly
broken UP as the advanced columns were
reinforced with volunteers and moved
