Dispatches From Mexico City Also Indicate That Carranza May Feel Likewise--Was an UuprOv0kcd
 Attack-Tension Not LeSsened.

Washington, June 23.-Hope per- sisted among officials here today that war against Mexico may not be necessary.
 Dispatches from Mexico City in- dicated that the leaders of the Carranza government may show Q similar attitude and seek t0 avert the threatened outbreak.
 The outlook is far from bright, however, and orders have been is- sued for the transportation of ten thousand national guardsmen to the border from central and western states and they will soon be ready for service
 Army officers looked for the de- layed report from General Pershing on the fight at Carrizal. The re- port will be given painstaking scrutiny before drastic action is determined upon by President Will son. q
 The American version of the battle is that it was an "unpgovoked attack on the Americans at the con- elusion of a barley with the NeXi- can commander
 The tension is not lessened by the official report of the navy de- partment that there was no provo- cation from Americans for the at tack on theb Oat crew from the gunboat Annapolis, at Mazatlin, Sunday.

 We have never had the least de- sire to be a man until this morn ing, then we would have dearly loved to be a man and walked up to the loafer who never did and never will do anything but loaf and say, you dirty coward, We didn't raise our boy to be soldier no more than any other mother did, but we'd rather he'd be soldier and die for his country than stand on a street corner and expose his lack of man. hood

ARKANSAS MEN TO
 TRAINING CAMPS.
In Addition Co Being Fitted Tor War They Come Back strong and Able tO Better Fight
 Business Battles.

Little Rock. June 2i.-The call to arms has sent Arkansas business men scurrying to training camps m order that they may be prepared should the country need their ser- vices. <. \. West manager of the Crump. Britton X West cotton office in Little Rock, W. J. Britton, man. ager of the Memphis office, and w. IA. Thompson, of the Newport branch are all bound for platisburg early in July to stay several weeks getting into shape for war, and if t does not come all figure they will be III Detter shape to tackle the fall business.
 In order Co tempt employees oi the firm to accompany them, Mr west has offered 10 let 1t go as a vacation and pay the employe as tho he re- ported for duty each day.
 The offer of the government IS most attractive" says Mir West,
 for under recent act of Congress, she expenses of the business men who attend these training camps are paid. There has been no appro- priation for this purpose, but l be- lieVe the government will refund the expenses.
 I have seen and talked Co num- Der of prominent business men who have attended the training camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga, and they are in better physical condition than l ever saw them before. They tell me they are going every year. for 1t fits them for better business. The camp there does not compare with plattsburg, however, for the New York camp is on lake, and the weather is much more pleasant.
 The government training camps are patronized by the leading men of the country. for their are quali- iieations governing the attendance. A college education, or success in the hnsiness world is required, be- fore the applicant is admitted.
 T look for compulsory military training within the next few years, and the citizens training camps is the first big step in that direction"
