II left Casas Grandes Sunday morning
as Interpreter for Capt. Boyd. There were
IS men all told. Capt Boyd sent a mes
senger into Carrizal saying he was on a
peaceful mission and asking permission
to pass through Villa Ahumads. Gen.
Gomez sent out Lieut.. Col. Rivas with an
escort Of eight men to tell US that he had
orders to stop us there. After a talk
Rivas retired to town and Gen. Gomez
sent note asking the Americans to come
into the town for a conference. Capt.
Boyd did not like the idea and said so,
whereupon Gen. Gomez called personally
and repeated his orders that they could
not pass through, that his instructions
from Gen. Trevino were that II the
Americans moved, attack would follow.
Capt. Boyd then said alright"
Gen. Gomez had retired to his men
who were lined up on the outside of the
town. when Capt. Boyd gave the orders
to advance. Shortly after the firing
commenced and our men started to drop.
Consider that the entire fault of the
fight belongs to the Americans, as Gen.
Gomez was very courteous in his insis-
tence that we retire and frequently point
ed out that he must be loyal to his su-
perior officers and fire on them II thew
persisted to advance"

STATE DEPARTMENT PLANS
TO MAKE STRONG PROTEST

On the heels of the report Of the re-
lease Of the American prisoners held at
Chihuahua, the State Department yes
terday afternoon received a disturbing
series OF reports regarding the action OF
Carranzista authorities IN confiscating
the property Of American refugees who
have fled from Mexico.
Although the reports indicated that this
new form of anti-American hostility was
not dictated from Mexico City and was
the work OF the local authorities entirely,
it was stated that Special Representa-
tive Rodgers at Mexico City would be
directed to make vigorous representa-
tions of protest to the Mexican Foreign
Office.
The reports stated that the confisca-
tory measures were being carried out
at Manzanillo and throughout the States
OF Sonora, Jalisco, and Tams ulipas. Not
only was all live stock. automobiles,
and other personal property seized
but at ManzaniIlo gold and silver bullion
of the American mining companies was
being confiscated-
The reports further stated that the few
Americans who had not abandoned their
ranches in these sections were powerless
to protect their property and that their
horses and cattle were being taken be-
fore their eyes.

Berlin (via Amsterdam), June 9-An-
other submarine crisis, graver IT is fear
ed than any previous one, looms omlnous-
ly upon the horizon. II was officially
ushered in on June q, when the United
States sent its note to Austria on the
Petrolite affair. 1t did not become known
to the populace in Germany and Austria
until today, when a brief cable dispatch
via London announced that America de-
mands prompt compliance" with its re-
quest for an apology for "a deliberate IN
suit to the flag Of the United states;''
and reparation for the damage done.
A few days after the note was sent
from Washington the Vienna papers had
a brief announcement of the fact that
the document had been received, but Its
nature and contents were not known.
Coming as 1t does in the midst of what
Is generally regarded the beginning of
the end OF the European war. at a mo-
ment when all armies are hauling out
for what may be the final test, the news
OF the latest American note was received
here with marked displeasure, unconceal-
ed even in official circles. and tonight the
greatest possible pessimism prevailed
wherever the question was asked, What
will Austria dor"
The consensus OF opinion appears to be
that the Austrian government will send
courteous but firm reply. stating that
the Austrian government cannot agree to
having the word Of the Petrolite's captain
and crew to be taken in preference to that
Of the submarines commander. 1t will
wind up, it Is believed, with request for
further time to complete its investiga-
