Washington, July 4.-On June IL,

vigorously assailed President Wilson's
Mexican policy, the state department

Six days later, on. June Is, the ma

June 20 the president sent a lengthy

demand for withdrawal of the troops,

ting bandits, charging that he exer-
cised no control over northern Mexico.

worthy of the name. On June 81 came
the Carrizal attack, the responsibility
for which Carranza admitted in a note
to this government, dated June "a.
The following day, June rs, the
United States sent what was charac-

demanding the immediate release of
American prisoners taken at Carrizal
and an early statement from Carranza
as to his intentions.
No Reply Yet
Carranza has not replied to the note
of June 20 unless the statement given
out by Carranza's foreign minister last
week is construed as a reply, though it
was never transmitted to this govern

MEET IN RIPLEY
Playground Wins
in Children's Meet.
Efforts of Chesney Park Girls
Were a Feature.

Washington school playground
| (colored) won the playground meet
this morning by a lead of 26 points of
Westlawn, it's nearest competitor.
The results: Washington, 80 points;
Westlawn, 10; Polk, Sc; City Park,
60; Ripley, So; Chesney, 81; Potwin,
6; Quincy, 5.
Three hundred children braved the
equatorial weather this morning to
battle for the honors of the play
ground track meet in Ripley Park.
Little girls in boomers, nine and ten
years old, battled as fiercely for the
supremacy of their playground in the
and the dashes as did the big boys
eighteen years old.
The feature of the meet was the
heroic effort Chesney Park in the
girls events. Only five girls, none
, over twelve years old, represented
Chesney but they entered heroically
| in every event against girls much
larger and several years older. They
| placed in but two events but their
courage was heartily applauded by
the spectators They were coached
by Miss Bertha Kitchell, director of
Chesney Park.
The best time of meet was made in
the SO and 100 yard dashes. In the
50-yard dash for boys of high school
age, unlimited class, Bruce of West
lawn Park made the remarkable time
of ga. Equally noteworthy was the
record of Downs of PotWln in the
hundred" for boys under 100 pounds.
He made the hundred in 1913, as fast
time was made in the state high
school meet.

ment, it is said, asked Ambassador
Designate Arredondo to speed up the
reply to the American demands. Mr..
Arredondo denied that he had received
such a request. Secretar yLansing to-
day said he had taken no steps to OBJ
tain a speedy reply.
Secretary Lansing today said the de-
lay of Carranza in replying to the
American note does not aggravate the
situation. 1t was said the demand for
immediate action has lost its force
since the surrender of the prisoners.
Outlook Is Hopeful.
Mr.. Lansing said the outlook for
peace is more hopeful than it was ten
days ago. He explained that ten days
ago was just after the Carrizal attack.
The only change in the situation since
Carrizal is that Carranza has released
the prisoners and General Trevino
has agreed to surrender the bodies of
the dead officers and men. Carranza
has refused to recognize the right of
the United States to keep troops in
Mexico and through his foreign min
lister has renewed his demand for
their withdrawal.
War college and general staff Off
GERS were surprised by the develop
ments indicating a purpose to with
draw the troops. They have been at
work for plans for a joint concentra-
ton in Mexico by the army and
navy. They believe this was the in
tention when the national guard of the
country was called.
The future developments for the
United States to intervene in Mexico,
as army officers are convinced they
will so demand, these officers say the
army strategists will be hampered
since no plan of campaign has yet
been adopted and there will be delay
in launching any campaign after the
work of planning out details is with
held until time for action arrives.
In Diplomatic Circles.
The members of the diplomatic
corps accepted today's developments
as confederation of their understand
ing that the administration has no in
tention of bringing on war with Mexi-
co.
Great Britain and the Netherlands
are said to be satisfied Automatically

circles that if the United States should

petition to Tampico, such as the Brit
ish squadron sent to protect the oil
