WEASHINGTON, June 2O.-
" The issue of war or peace
between the United States and
Mexico hinges now on Carranza's S
attitude after a stern refusal Of
his demands of withdrawal Of
American troops from Mexico,
which it is expected will be hand
ed to his minister today. An in
cident of the day, indicating the
incorporating attitude Of the
administration, was a refusal Of
Secretary of"State Lansing, to
confer with DR.. Elisco Arredondo,
the Mexican minister. Mr.. Ian
sings response to a request from
Arredondo for a conference was
that he was too busy.
Reply Will Be Curt
The business upon which he
was engaged was in part the pre-
paration of the reply to the
lengthy note which Carranza ad-
dressed to the United States on
June /,
The reply to the Carranza note,
it is stated, will be not only a
curt refusal to grant the de facto
governments formal demand,
which was made in the language
of an ultimatum, that the Amer
ican troops in Mexico be with
drawn, but also a vigorous reply
to the charges brought by Car
ranza against the good faith of
The Hawaiian gazette., 1916-06-20

The note. which is addressed to
Secretary Lansing, reads in part as
follow:
'"The Mexican government has Just
received advices that group Of
American troops has crossed the
frontier and penetrated Mexican
territory and at present is near place
called FL Pine, some seventy miles to
the south Of the frontier. This newly
effected passage of troops without the
consent of the Mexican government
places in grave danger the harmony
and good relations which ought exist
between the governments Of the United
States and Mexico.
"Ths government must consider this
last act Il violation of its sovereignty
and thus asks in the most urgent man
ner that the Washington gOVernmc Mt
consider with care the case and once
for all define with exaetitude the policy
it intends to pursue with respect to the
Mexican nation
After rcciting the facts which led
to the first crossing of the frontier by
American troops after the Villa raid
at Columbus, the note insists that in
contradiction Of the word of General
scott and Funston another expedition
Crossed the boundary line, thus violat
ing all the precepts of internatio onal
law and committing an act of invasion.
American Motives Questioned
Continuing, the note discusses Mexi-
can protests against the alleged inva.
sion and then refers to a second ex.
pedition Of 400 men, in pursuit of raid
ers, which entered Mexico on May 22
The Mexican government, it is de
clured cannot assume that the United
States government has committed an
error second time in ordering the
crossing without the consent Of the
government of Mexico, or that the
commander of the American troops

his armies, the United States will
be magnanimous in making peace
terms, and then he will be firmly
seated in power as president of
Mexico. 1t is thought that if Am
erica begins real war upon Mex
leo, the Carranza government, if
it remains in power will very soon
sue for peace.
No Further Controversy
The administration is utterly
ignoring all the claims and de-
mands set forth in the Carranza
note, and is pursuing its policy
without regard to the views which
the Mexican de facto president so
carefully enunciated The state
department officials say that there
will be no further controversy,
and that if the Carranza govern
ment insists upon its ultimatum,
war will result at once, and the
rapidly mobilizing forces of the
United States will be used to
bring the Mexicans to terms.
The Mexican minister's request
for a conference with Secretary of
State Lansing is taken as an in
dication of Mexican alarm, caus-
ed by the Presidents calling out
of the militia, which showed his
intention to take action. The
refusal of the secretary to hold
another conference means, itg is
stated, that as far as the Ameri-

LONDON, june 20---An Amsterdam

Berliner Tageblatte TO the effect that
Russian hordes are forcing their way
into Poland from Galicia. II is stated
by this paper that the Russians out
number their foes, and are advancing
on Kovel. which 10 one of the places

the American government. In
spite of the last FIVE years of Am
erican avoidance of military in
tervention in Mexico, Carranza
charged that there were ulterior
motives in the expedition ledsby
General Pershing against Villa,
after the Columbus raid. 81.
Patience Is Exhausted
This attitude Of the de facto
president OF Mexico, who was
only enabled to win leadership
from his rivals by the recognition
of the Washington government,
has exhausted the patience of the
administration, and it is said that
the note which Secretary Lansing
will hand to Minister Arredondo,
as a reply to Carranza's long effu-
sion, will be in very forcible
terms. That it may quickly lead
to a formal rupture between the
two governments, and war, is rec
ognized. '4"t
Carranza Plays Politics ."..'
Under this view of the matter,
it is thought, Carranza might at
home claim a diplomatic triumph
in his having attempted to make
an American invasion of Mexico
the casus belli. This might bring
him great popularity in Mexico
and bring together the warning
factions in Mexico under his lead
ership.
If war has to be waged, the de-
feat of Mexico is regarded as
quite certain, and Carranza knows
this. 1t is believed by officials
who take this view that all that
the Mexican president hopes for
is war in which, after defeating
