day still more freely.
Following the House action in au-
thorizfng the president to draft the
guard, the Senate is expected to take
UP the resolution today, and in this
connection views on Mexico are likely
to be aired.
Secretary Lansing and Secretary
Baker went to The White House at 10
o'clock his morning for a conference
with President Wilson. Both said as
they left their offices that there had
been no new reports from General
Pershing, and that the policy OF the
government was unchanged.
Secretary Baker said after the con-
ference that no immediate change In the
Mexican policy was contemplated by
the United States, and that no new
military orders were contemplated.
Secretaries Are Silent.
Secretary Baker. in reply to a query
as to whether the United States had
requested the release of the American
prisoners captured at Carrizal said:
Il canno discuss the subject now"
Secretary Lansing emerged from the
White House about 10 mute after
Secretary Baker. He turned to news

On returning to his office. Secretary
Lansing for the first time since he be-
came secretary OF state, cancelled his
morning engagement with newspaper
men. He sent word by his private sec
rotary that there was nothing he could
discuss at this time.
Mr.. Baker pointed out hat the only
information regarding the Carrizal
fighting except from Mexican sources,
had come from a few gtragglers, who
were not In the thick of the fighting,
being occupied as horse holders In car
ing for the troops Mount at the rear.

felt 1t essential to obtain the stories OF
men, especially officers, who were IN
the fighting front in the engagement.
1t will require nearly a week, 1t ts
understood, to complete the mobiliza-
ton Of the national guard on the Dor
der to make possible a movement in
force beyond the line. 1t Is regarded as
probable that regular army regiments
now on patrol duty will be promptly
relieved by national guard regiments as
they reach the border.
Secretary Baker had additional adj
| vices from General Funston when III
went to the White House. Secretary
Lansing had received a dispatch from
Mexico City announcing that the 80
Americans In Guanajuata a been
promised train facilities by the Car
rama government.

lions, there will be very few remaining
