sound Of clashing arms War already
exists between the United States and
Mexico, and has existed for months.
The President has been doing his ut

gressional action. I speak for every
patriotic Republican in this House

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Following
an early morning visit IN the White
House. Postmaster-G General Burleson
Of Texas, who is IN close touch with
military movements on the border,
gave out tho following significant
statement:
"a have reason to believe that the
soldiers captured by the Mexlcans at
carrizal will be released shortly.
Don't bother ME with further ques-
tions. No; ! have received no word
from Mexico City,"
BurIeson's hint spread quickly
throughout the capital. II is recog-
nized as coming from the President.
Burleson, however, refused even to in
innate where he obtained the informa-
ton.
AS indicating that the pressure of
the atin-Americans upon Carranza is
having some effect, was the. declara-
ton today of the Mexican embassy Of
ficials, who said there may be some
delay" In receiving Carranza's final re-
ply to the American demand for the
release OF the prisoners. Only yester-
day the embassy formally notified
Bolivian Minister .Calderon that the
demand for the release Of the prison
ers had been emphatically refused.
Senior Calderon Immediately united
with his colleagues in series of tele.
grams to Mexico City, pointing out as
final warning that the American
troopers could not be considered pris-
oners of war because war had not been
declared and diplomatic negotiations
still were unfinished. They united in
a demand that Carranza should recon
slider, or lose the respect OF all Central
and South America.
