FL PASO PLANNING

Fl Paso, Tex, July 4.-Civil and mill
 itary authorities tonight began making
 arrangements for memorial service and military funeral for the American sol
 diers who fell at Carrizal.
 Preparations will not be completed until those in charge learn the time of the ar | rival of the bodies, which include those of Capt. Charles S. Boyd and Lieut..
 Henry Adair It is planned, however that the bodies shall lie in state at Fort
 Bliss Citizens today began to collect a fund for floral offerings
 Andres Garcia, Mexican consul, said that the train carrying the bodies prob
 ably would reach here late in the week.
 The special train carrying three Fl Paso | undertakers and eight Mexican laborers, who will exhume the bodies, reached Villa Ahumada tonight The party went ime- mediately to Carrizal, according to Mexi- can reports, and will begin their work to- morrow.
 The border broke a record today by going, for the first time Tn months, with
 out a real live rumor.
 By way of Columbus came a report that the Seventh and Eleventh cavalry regi- ments were leaving General Pershing' s army for the border, and a Mexican just
 up from Parral declared that ne had seen there the elusive Pancho Villa. However these were mere variations of old stories. They were impossible of confirmation. The reported exodus of the Seventh and Eleventh were largely discounted by statements from Washington that General Pershings orders had not been changed. It was admitted in army circles, how ever, that such a movement would have
 no effect on the general purpose of the expeditionary force and might possess a strategic object in connection with the defense of the border.
 The booming of a 45-gun salute in Fl
 Paso to the flag today caused alarm in
 Juarez, but apprehension soon died out when it was understood the salute was a
 part of the Independence Day celebration on the American side. Vaccination of the Massachusetts and Pennsylvania soldiers on station here against typhus typhoid and smallpox,
 diseases rampant in northern Mexico, was begun by army medical authorities today. It was announced also that another step
 in medical preparation is to be taken in
 the erection at Fort Bliss of a bacterio- logical laborat tory.
 A maximum temperature of 104 was re-
 corded in Fl Paso today, but military
 authorities asserted that the guardsmen
 here from the Atlantic seaboard states are rapidly becoming acclimated.

HURTING MOBILIZATION

The war department continued without abatement today it's efforts to complete mobilization of the National Guard army at the border There were few dispatches, however, from General Funston or other officers beyond the routine reports or the progress being made in assembling the state troops along the international line.
 The department had no announcement to make to General Pershings de- cision on the offer made to him yester- day, which would give him command Of the new military department of New Mexico. Pending his decision it is re- garded as probable that General Funston will continue to administer affairs along the border from the gulf coast to Doug las, Ariz., where General Bell, command ing the western department will assume jurisdiction.
 Disposition of the National Guard or ganizat atons will continue along the 1uliy developed plan worked out by Generai Funston and which has the hearty ap- proval of the army general staff. Whl'e the troops sent to the western depart ment or into the department Of New Mexico will pass under the command oi the heads of those departments, they VIII go to stations previously selected oy General Funston.

MUST MAKE REDRESS

 lieve the language and general tone of the present Carranza note will have great weight with President Wilson in deciding upon a course. It is expected General Carranza will be required to make re- dress in some form for the discourteous tone of his previous communications if entirely amica ble rela ations are to be re- Sumed
 According to the embassy synopsis of the communica ton, which officials be- lieve was prepared personally by General Carranza, it renews assurances that the de facto government will restore order in northern Mexico and establish an ade- uuate guard against border raiders. It is said to suggest that the presence of American troops in Mexico serves only to increase unsettled conditions in the border states, but not to make any new demands for their withdrawal.
 It is not known whether any mention is made of previous orders to General Trevino that American troops be at tackled if they move east, south or west in Mexico Apparently the communica- ton avoids the definite diplomatic state ment in that regard sought by Secretary Lansing and substitutes an argument as to the general situation.
 The note also is said to point out that the principle of mediation as suggested by various Latin-American powers has been accepted by the de facto govern ment and to invite the Washington ad- ministration to express it's views Gen. eral Carranza believes however, that ! more could be accomplished by direct ne gotiations between Washington and Mexico City officials than would be pos 1 sible through mediation proceedings.

In both of these documents Secretary Lansing sharply reprimanded the de facto government for failure to observe ordinary diplomatic usages. His first note resented charges of bad faith. political intriguing and the like openly stated in the Mexican demand for with drawal; the second tersey notified tEa de facto government that the United States expected to receive diplomatic com munications through diplomatic channels, not through subordinate military cGol- manders.
 These were the first American commit nicatons to the de facto government in which anything but wholly friendly lan guage was employed.

water front men thought it was more
plausible than many OF the yarns

out that the fighters could act

It was wild night on the Patapas-

On the Neckar, the Deutschland's
