Washington, Jan. l3.--Mr. Are
dondo Carranza ambassador to the
United states, called at the state de-
partment late today ana personally
informed SECRETARY Lansing that sol
diers hSpd been dispatched In pursuit
of the bandits who murdered the
Americans with orders to capture or
kill every member of the band. He
said if necessary every soldier Of the
de facto government in the northern
states would be pressed into service
for this purpose.
Mr.. Arredondo said the dead AM
orleans had been warned to keep out
of the guerilla warfare territory, al
though General Obregon had given
them permission at their reuest TO
pass through the lines.
White House Looks to Carranza.
There were no developments in the
situation at the White House or at
the state department but in congress
both house and senate continued to
give 1t attention.
Senator Lewis, democrat, introduc-
the president to use the army and
navy to restore order in Mexico as
had been done in Haiti and Near
aqua.
lie asked that it lay over without
action, however, and there was no
further debate at that stage.
lii the holse, Representative Slay-
den, democrat of Texas, defended
the recognition OF General Carranza
and declared that if order were not
restored, a Pan-American coalition of
nations should do 1t.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing today looked to General Car
rama for prompt compliance with
the demand of the United States gov
ernment that he take immediate
steps for the apprehension and pun
ishment of the Mexican bandits who
killed American citizens near Chihua-
hua city.
Wait First Chiefs Answer.
While anxiously awaiting Carran-
za's response, the American officials
continued their efforts today to OBJ
tain all the facts bearing on the muir
ders from consular officers in MeSl-
Co and along the border. They had
been ordered to investigate and ex-
pedite their reports.
Officials particularly wanted tc
know whether the murders were due
to the failure of the de facto govern
ment Of Mexico to afford proper pro-
lection in zone known by 1t to be
dangerous or whether the men lost
their lives as the result of a bandit
attack which could not have been
fOrcseen.
The latest Mexican outrages, con-
tinude today TO hold the almost undi-
vided attention in official and con-
gressional circles. There were nc
suggestions. however, that the Am
erican government would take furth-
er action in the case beyond that al
ready taken.
The Lewis Resolution.
The resolution introduced today by
Senator Lewis reads:
Resolved, by the senate and the
house of representatives.
That the president of the United
States be authorized and empowered
to order the army of the United
States, or any necessary part thereof
to the country Of Mexico, and there
cooperate with any force there ex-
isting which, to the president. shall
seem appropriate for the object OF
protection to the citizens and prop
erty of the United States and to pun
ish those violating the security OF
