infantry to take the oath prescribed
by the war department. will not dis
qualify them for service on the Dor
der. General Bond discovered that
SO many soldiers objected to entering
the federal service because the oath
provided a straight three-year enlist
ment and a reserve service OF three
years and took the matter up with
the war department. He received
word today that those who desire
could be sworn under the Dick law
which means that they may serve
only to the expiration Of the present
enlistment.
Unusual stir marked the camp this
morning. Colonel Morrison having
announced that as soon as the med
icRl examination was completed and
II was known the number Of men who
had been accepted, orders would be
given to entrain. Railroad men said
they had their plans laid and the
trains would be supplied when needed
Excellent time was made by the
surgeons and as soon as they were
accepted the men were sworn into
the federal army. There was no au-
thentic news concerning the Firnt
infantry. but there was persistent
rumor that before nightTall formal
orders for Its mobilization would be
issued.

Mr.. WILSON IS EXPECTED
TO GO BEFORE CONGRESS
WITH HIS WAR MESSAGE
Capture and Imprisonment of
American Soldiers is Re-
garded as Hostile Act.
NOT TO WAIT ANY LONGER
Carranza's Delay Believed to Be
Based on Desire to Get Re-
public with Him.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-There
was nothing to indicate today that the
Washington governments position had
undergone any change. officials still
expected President Wilson to go be-
fore Congress tomorrow II Carranza
fails to act or replies unfavOrably. Any
thing short OF the immediate release
OF theh American troopers will be un-
satisfactory. No suggestion OF nego-
tiations in this regard will be accepted.
II was pointed out today that Secre-
tary Lansings note sought to open no
discussion Of the Carrlzal incident.
The fact that the men were captured
and were being held was viewed as a
hostile act requiring immediate repu
diation by the defacto government
through release OF the prisoners.
Carranza's delay in replying is be-
hope to have South and Central Ameri-
can countries agree fully to his course
before he takes final step.

against Mexican citizens alleged to
have been committed by an American
force. 5000 strong. marching from
San Geronimo toward Vale was sent
to the state department today by
Eliseo Arredondo. Mexican ambassa-
dor designate. on instructions from
the Carranza foreign office.
Vigorous complaints against the al
legged arrest and mlstreatment OF 300
citizens at La Cruz is registered in
the note with request that the ofFic-
srs responsible be punished and steps
taken to prevent recurrence of such
an incident.
Apache scouts with the Americans
we're charged with brutal treatment
of the people in their path. The col
umn referred to Is presumed to be a
part of General Pershing's main forc+
es moving northward from the ad-
vanced base at NamiQuipa In accord
ance with orders to draw in the lines
in preparation for a possible general
assault by MeXicans.
So far as could be learned the war
department had not been advised of
