THE VITAL ISSUE
NOT YET SETTLED
Troopers Release Does Not
Clear Horizon.
WAR MEASURES co ON
American Troops Must Be Accorded
the Right OF Pursuing Raiders
Across the Border-Protests
Made BY Both Sides.

Washington.-The Washington Gov
ernment is awaiting full compliance
with its demands by the de facto au-
thorities OF Mexico.
Release by General Carran2a's order
Of the American prisoners taken at
Carrizal has ayerted the probability OF
immediate retaliatory steps. 1t is pos
sible that II has also helped to pave
the way toward an attempt at peace
ful settlement of the whole border
situation. High officials made it very
clear, however, that the vital point at
issue-the future attitude OF Mexican
forces toward American troops in
Northern Mexico, engaged in guarding
the border and pursuing bandits who
raided American territory--remains 10
be settled.
No Hint OF Reply.
The State Department had no ad-
vices as TO when a diplomatic reply
to It's demands might be expected. The
CarranZa government has adopted the
unusual course Of complying in fact
with an urgent demand from a foreign
government before It even acknowl-
edged receipt OF the note or made any
statement Of what It proposed to do.
Pending a suIdaSsetory answer to its
second and more far-reaching require
ments, the United States will continue
to hurry troops to the border and TO
take every step necessary in prepara-
tion for the carrying out of its pur-
poses by force Of arms.
May Stand BY Order.
Intimations have come, 1t is under
stood, that Carranza intends to back
up the orders issued to General
Treyino directing that American
troops be attacked if they moved in
any direction in Mexico except toward
the border officials are fully pre-
pared for a reply Of that character, de-
spite the fact that the prisoners taken !
at Carrizal have been promptly sur
rendered on demand. They expect, |
however. that the reaiirmation of |
position will be made in note free
from hostile language and continuing |
the discussion Of the sdvisability of |
the withdrawal Of American troops |
from Mexico
Apparently Secretary Lansing is de-
termined to get clear statement of
intentions on which action by the
United States can be founded. Car
rama officials profess an earnest de.
sire to avoid a clash, however, and a
further struggle to fix automatically
for hostilities that may
come is foreshadowed.

less TO Columbus, N. M).-Twenty.
three American soldiers are known to
have lost their lives on the battlefield
at Carrizal. according to report to
General Pershing from Major jenkins,
commanding the Eleventh Cavalry col
umn. ordered TO scour the country in
that vicinity for survivors.
The report told Of the rescue in
safety of Capt Lewis s. Morey, after
he ID made daring stand in the
face of heavy Mexican odds and heroic
personal sacrifices in an effort to save
the lives of his men. Major jenkins
said he had evidence that nine Ameri-
can troopers, in addition to those pre-
yiously reported dead, had been killed.
A note found on the body of Capt.
Charles T. Boyd, the American com
mander. who lost his life in charge
on the Mexican machine gun trench,
proved that General Felix Gomez, the
Mexican commander, invited him into
the town of Carrizal, and that he had
refused and afterward conferred with
Gomez outside the town. Neither the
notebook Of Captain Boyd nor that of
Captain Morey, both OF which we're
recovered threw any new light on the
clash, according to the report.

have eacn n turn led the march of
transportation developn ent.
But the worlG is ever moving onward
to greater econo mics, greater efficien-
cies, greater delights, and the electri-
