Many of the national committeeman

He was chairman of the republican ma

1908 and has an extensive acquaintance
with republican leaders throughout the

1t is said to be probable that some

No Indication of Haste,

With the troopers captured at Carri-
Zal back on American soil, apparently
there was no intention on the part of
the Washington government to enforce
an immediate issue on it's demands for
assurances that there will be no repe-
tition of the attack on GeD/Pershing's
forces.
No time limit was set in President
Wilson's note making the demand, and
there are indications that the admins
tration would welcome further delay of
few days This would permit not only
concentration of a stronger force to
meet the needs of actual hostilities if
they should come. but also gathering of
supplies. mobilization of transport
facilities and Strengthening of aerial
forces.
Army officers believe the advantage
OF delay to Americans greatly over
balances the similar benefit to Mexi-
cans.
For this reason less impatience than
might otherwise have been evident was
expressed in official circles today over
the delay of Carranza's note No word
or when II would be dispatched had
reached Washington. There were un-
official intimations that the communi-
cation would reafiirm the Mexican gov
ernments intention to attack American
troops in Mexico moving in any direc-
ton other than toward the border. II
the language is not hostile, however,
the way may be left open for further
diplomatic discussion of the question.
Pending a satisfactory answer to its
second and more far-reaching reouire-
ment. 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 purposes
by force of arms.

IMMEDIATE RETALIAT0RY
STEPS THOUGHT AVERTED
Extraordinary Precautions Being
Adopted to Keep Secret Routes
of Guardsmen.

Ell PASO. Tex, June 30.-Tension
which had prevailed on the border since
the Carriza1 encounter. relaxed per-
ceptibly today as a result of the safe
return to American soil of the twenty
three troopers of the 10th Cavalry and
the American scout, taken prisoner IN
the engagement.
Stories told by the soldiers that they
had suffered no i'll treatment at the
hands of the troops of the de facto
Mexican government and that every ef-
fort had been made to control violence
manifested by inf1amed civil population
at Villa Ahumada and Chihuahua City,
where the prisoners were stoned and
jeered, had marked effect here.
In official circles in Juarez the Mexi-
can city across the Rio Grande, news
dispatches that the return of the negro
soldiers had averted the possibility or
retaliatory steps by the
United States were received with OBJ
vious satisfaction. Andres Garcia,
Mexican consul at Ell Paso. expressed
the belief that the first step looking to-
ward a peaceful solution of the border
problem had been taken, and that
others would follow shortly.

British Raids Increase.
The sixth day of the British bonn
bardment Of the German lines from
Ypres to the Somme was featured by an
increasing number of trench raids.
These raids invariably are preceded BY
generous shelling of the enemy's
trenches, with here and there con-
centrated fire by the new trench NOR
tars. the range and general effective
ness of which have been greatly in
creased.
Yesterday the greatest activity was
on the center of the British line, where
gas was used with deadly effect in the
region of La Bassee. All the morning
newspapers today printed lengthy head
quarters accounts Of the fghting,
which testified to the extravagant use
of shells by the British forces. The
Daily Mail says:
The Germans are answering our
great bombardment and are well sup.
piled with shells; but they have never
before employed artillery on such
scale on so wide a front as we are DO.

Series of Violent Attacks.

.'On the left bank of the River Meusd
the Germans last night increased their
offensive activity against our POSITIONS

point east of Hill No. 304. They di-
rected upon the principal salients OF

These were preceded by intense bonn.

throwing of flaming liquids. Between
Ayocourt wood and Hill 304 all their

President Not Yet Informed.
When President Wilson met with his
cabinet today just before leaving for
New York to deliver an address, the
unfavorable private reports had not
reached him and there were practically
no new developments in the Mexican
crisis to be considered. Military prep1
arations are being rushed to compile
ton, however, but automatically there
is nothing to be done until Carranza'S S
reply is received or it becomes appar-
ent that he will not respond within
reasonable time
All members of the cabinet agreed
after the meeting that both the situa-
ton and the policy of the United
States were unchanged as a result of
recent Developments The release of the
captured troopers has delayed military
action, but has not relieved the critical
diplomatic situation now existing. 1t is
known that interests in the Mexican
capital which have been exerting every
effort to prevent a break are much dis
couraged.
Should the Mexican reply follow the
line indicated and be in defiance of the
United States. however its meaning
might be wrapped about with diplo-
matte language, there is no indication
that the administration would waver in
its determination to continue the pro-
lection of the border by military opera
tions President Wilson probably would
arrange to lay the whole matter before
Congress Immediately.
War Department officials appeared
satisfied with the progress of the Ma
tional Guard mobilization on the bor-
der Sufficient troops to meet any i'm
mediate development are expected to be
available along the line within a few
hours.

carranza Reply Awaited.
~Word from Special Agent Rodgers at
Mexico City regarding Carranza's reply
to the American note demanding a
statement of his intentions still was
awaited today by the State Depart
ment. A dispatch from Mr.. Rodgers,
dated Wednesday night, said he ex-
pected momentarily to be handed the
reply
Two routine messages received at the
State Department from Special Agent
Rodgers made no further mention OF
prospects of receipt of Gen. Carranza's S
reply. He reported that a few more
American refugees were en- route from
Mexico City to Vera Cruz.
Formal announcement of the sur
render of the Carrizal prisoners was
conveyed to Secretary Lansing by
Mr.. Arredondo. He talked with the
Secretary for ten minutes. Later he
said he had discussed the general stu
alton, but had brought no communica-
ton from his government.
An overnight message from Gen.
Funston transmitted a report from Gen.
Bell at Ell Paso, announcing the deliv-
cry to him by the Mexican authorities
of the twentythree American troopers
and an interpreter captured at Carrizal.
He said he expected the horses and
equipment of the men to be turned
over today.
