WAR EXPECTED
BY MEXICANS
Mass Troops on Bor-
der as Civilians Flee
to Interior.
tBy Telegraph TO The Tribune

FL Paso, Tex, June 20.-Mexican
leaders tonight accept the reply OF
Secretary Lansing TO Csrranza as an
invitation TO Mexico 10 begin hostili-
ties, and they very generally agree
that the Carranza government has now
no recourse except 70 declare war on
the United States.
Throughout all the border country
fevered preparations are under way for
actual hostilities, with different border
garrlsons adopting different tactics. In
some guns are being mounted, trenches
dug and soldiers assembled for either
offensive or defensive operations. In
others. notably Nogaes. Naco and Jua-
rez, the Mexican soldiers and practical
ly the whole Mexican population either
are preparing for fight or already have
started for the interior.
From interior Mexican points to-
night general exodus Of all foreign
ers is under way, with Americans in
several instances reported pursued By
Mexicans and threatened by both civil
ians and soldiers.
The large mining town Of Cansnea,
where normally more than 1000 Amer
leans are employed in mills, smelters
and mines. is practically empty to-
night Of any Americans.
To-day and tonight 900 Ameri
cans reached the border from Cananea
and the adjacent mining towns. and
the few Americans left there are re-
ported on their way to the line from
chihuahua and the Torreon and Parrsl
country. Not only the American res
idents have come out, but all foreigners
have left, and with them have come
several thousand Mexican families 10
seek safety on the American side.
From the American base in Mexico
reports were received to-day, through
arrivals. that Csrranza soldiers below
Namiquipa are annoying, taunting and
in many ways trying 70 force the
American soldiers to take the offensive.
The reports say that General Pershing
is ignoring Treyino's warning not TO
move his troops, and is moving cavalry
in all directions Mexicans snip
ing. but fearing openly TO oppose the
movements.
Virtually a state Of war exists in all
Of Northern Mexico. and actual hostili-
ties, il is believed. would start in a

Van of 22d Regiment to
Camp Whitman.

New York City. with the advance
guard of its organized militia already
sent on TO the mobilization camp at
Beekman, began 70 look yesterday rs If
there were something else within its
horizon besides business.
Men in khaki walked its streets with
the stride and bearing of soldiers.
Onve-drab officers in leather puttees
straw footed through hotel lobbies,
where they had been seen few hours
before in civilian attire. Cannon. cais-
sons, armored motor cars, and supply
wagons threaded their way northward
among streetcars, pleasure cars, taxi
cabs, and trucks. Sentries with rifles
on their shoulders paced the sidewalks
in front Of armory gates. Crowds gath
cred below newspaper bulletin boards
and stayed there by the hour-crowds
that forgot TO cheer the baseball scores
in their absorption in the new national
game.
That much embraced the outward evil
dences Of the call to arms. Behind IL
all, women In 10000 homes-wives,
mothers, sisters. and sweethearts OF
the men who have become soldiers -
were experiencing something Of what
the women Of Europe went through
two years ago.
Thousands Of men anxious TO enlist
besieged the armories. Their num-
bers swelled thin companies almost 20
the war strength they must have be
fore going on the firing line.
In view Of the nationwide prosper
ity, the high wages offered and the
desrth of workers at any price, the
rush to the colors was considered re-
markable. Enthusiasm ran as high as
in London after war already had been
declared.
Companies D and B Of the 22d En-
gineers went to Beekmsn yesterday.
About the same time two batteries OF
the 1st Field Artillery moved TO Van
Cortlandt Park, where the national
guard has summer weekend camp.
They will stay there until ordered to
the mobilization point.
The "fghting Irish" of the 69th In
fantry will go to Beekman to-day.
Headed by the regimental band, six
companies of the 22d Corps Of En-
gineers A, c, f, +, G and II will
march from their srmory, 165th Street
and Fort Washington Avenue, at 7:45

THE SENATE

The Senate yesterday disposed of
one of the special orders flxed for
the day, the bill passed being that az
fecting examiners OF records. This
was the Goolrick bill. which takes
these officers from under the appoint
msnt of tina Judges of the circuit
courts and places them under the
State Advisory Board on Taxation.
Their terms are fixed at four years,
and those already holding are to con-
tinue in ONCE unless displaced by
the board.
Senator Goolrick said the purpose
Of the law was to have uniformity in
all parts Of the State, to have some
governing body and to have enforce
ment of the law general instead OF
sporedicaliy, as in the past
Senator Saunders opposed the GEN.
tralization scheme as embraced In the
measure, saying he believed best re-
suits would be obtained by providing
for their appointment by the judges,
who best knew the qualifications of
the men rather than to have them
named by a central power at the seat
of government.
Insurance on State Buildings.
Senator Conrad proposed a resolu-
ton directing that the Commissioner
of Insurance shall prepare in detail
statement showing the amount of
insurance carried on all State prop
erty. the cost of the premiums there
on and all else pertaining to this mat
ter. The State Is paying enormous
sums annually for insurance. and 1t
may be possible to save this amount
to the State II the State can carry its
own insurance.
Senator West wanted the resolution
sent to the Committee on Banking
and Insurance. but the Senate re-
fused to DO this, and Senator West
offered an amendment so as to go
back for Ave years and also to have
incorporated the amount of the poll
cies paid to the University OF Virginia
when the rotundA was destroyed. The
amendment was adopted and the re-
solution agreed to.

not entertained q harsh feeling or ut
