BOYD ORDERED not TO
FIGHT CARRANZISTAS
Return Of Relief Expedition
May Throw Light On How
Fight Started
By Robert j. Bender.

UNITED Press staff correspOndent.)
Washington, June 24.-The question
of an armed invasion of Mexico hangs
today upon the nature of the first re-
port of any commissioned officer who
participated in the Carri2al fight If any
are alive.
Following a conference with Presi-
dent Wilson, lasting one hour, Secretary
of War Baker at IL o CLOCK today said;
''We are obliged to wait for further
word from General Pershiug before we
can determine our course of action"
"The only thing we have thus far,
aside from that coming from Mexican
sources, is the report of few stragglers
who were considerably in the rear of
the point where the Carrizal attack oc-
cured, Baker said.
The men had been left to hold the
horses and act as a rear guard, while
the others went forward. Apparently
when the firing started and our horses
began to stampede, these men scamper'
ed away, so that they were. not near
the place where the parleying was
going on and probably were consider
ably back when the shooting began.
"We are compelled to wait, there.
fore" he said, "until we hear from the
two troops of cavalry sent out to bring
back what remains of the troops en-
gagged in the Carrizal fight. Until we
ret that report, there is absolutely no
change in policy to be considered
"The public will not have to wait
five minutes for the contents of Cen
er'' Pershing's report when it comes
in," Baker said.
Boyd's Orders Were Strict,
The forces under Captain Boyd were
under explicit, orders from General
Pershing to confine their operations ex-
clusively to scouting. They were spe-
officially commanded to engage in no
fight, or to make no move which threat
ened to precipitate a fight, unless ac.
tually attacked. If Boyd was com
manded to stop or refused permission
to pass by General Gomez and advanced
regardless, he violated his orders and
there win be no declaration of war be-
cause of the Carrizal incident
If the reports made so far by the
escaped negro troops of the Tenth cav
slry that Captain Boyd had stopped his
march at the command of Gomez and
that the Mexicans fired on the troopers
after they had halted are confirmed by
on officer, President Wilson 3 threat of
the "gravest consequences " will at
once be made good. Action is not to
bc. taken on the word of the colored
troopers because it is realized the en-
listed men had no part in the parley be-
tween Gomez and Boyd and could
scarcely have been familiar with all the
details.
There is no minimizing of the serious.

House or the war department. 1t is ad.
mitted that the likelihood of break
has never been so great

The report that General Herrera, com.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Grave
