,JJAREz EVACUATED As U. S. Guns THREATEN CITY
AMERICANS HAVE GREAT
SUPPLY OF AMMUNITION
Vast Quantities Already Stored
Under Guard in Mexico and
Factories Still Busy
CBy Associated Press.)

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, June 22.-Vast
quantities of ammunition and supplies
are already in storage in Mexico and at
points along the border for use of Amer
lean troops. a high army officer declared
TO-DAY.
Factories are i'm a position. he assert
ed. TO keep supplies going as fast as
they are needed. He pointed out that
the government had taken the pre1au-
tion 10 make large preliminary pur-
chases as well as to increase the output
of its arsenals.
During the three months American
troops have been in Mexico such i'm
rrovement has been made in the army's
organization and equipment that officers
here admitted today that il is far bet
ter prepared than II a break had come
Immediately after the villa raid.
The greatest forward step has been
made in the transportation department
When General Pershing started his pur-
suit of Villa in the middle of March the
quartermaster corps did not have a sim
sic motor truck: now there are upwards
OF 500 machines in the service.
Not only have the trucks been used
for the transportation of supplies, but
they are being employed to rush troops
from place TO place. Entire regiments
can be moved IN trucks much more rap
idly than cavalry.
Motor transportation has been extend
ed TO other branches. Automobile am
tulances have been secured. big water
tanks for the supply of troops nave
been mounted on trucks and General
Funston has obtained armored motor
cars bearing machine guns.
a large increase has been made in the
number of motorcycles. Some of these
machines are of special construction,
with machine gun attachments.
High-powered aeroplanes, of the latest
design. are now at Columbus and will
be sent into Mexico soon.
The long stretches of territory TO be
covered have led to marked betterments
in the field wireless equipment and
'buzzer' telegraph lines.

GREECE HAS YIELDED TO
OF THE ENTENTE
New Cabinet to Be Nonpoliti-
cal and Even Contain Ad-
herentS of VeniZeIoS

ATHENS, Wednesday, June 21.-(Via
London, June 22)-Under heavy pres
sure from the entente powers, Greece
has accepted without reserve the de-
mands presented today in joint note
by Great Britain, France and Russia.
At the most critical moment Greece
was without government. Premier
Skouloudis late today announced to the
chamber of deputies the resignation of
himself and his associates in the cab
met and the failure of the present cab
met to obtain successors to them.
NJ. Skouloudis refused to receive the
communications from the entente pow
ers on the ground that no Greek cabi-
net existed, as the note was deposited
at the foreign office while he was on
his way back from the residence of the
king, where he presented the resigna-
ton of the ministry. On this account,
he explained, he could not discuss the
demands
Before it became known that Greece
had decided to yield it was said in gov
eminent circles that it would be an i'm
possibility to accede to the demands.
Agemnon Schliemann, former Greek
minister at Washington and now a
member of the chamber of deputies,
asked what the government would do,
replied, How can we voluntarily re-
nOunCe the sovereignty Oh our Country
PEOPLE REMAIN CALM.
The action of the entente came on
one of the hottest days in years. The
king was at Chateau Tatoy, shops were
closed and the ministries We're deserted
when the blow fell The people were
unaware what had occurred until well on
toward evening, when newspapers and
hand bills made known the text of the
demands.
Meanwhile King Constantine returned
hastily. All troops in the city were
ordered under arms. The deputies were
summoned to the chamber, where
Premier Skouloudis announced he had
resigned. The chamber adjourned i'm
mediately, cheering the retiring minis
tiers.
The people of Athens remained, calm,
and talk of noncompliance with the de-
mands of the allies apparently awak-
ened no widespread spirit of resistance
The formation Of a new cabinet is
said to have been entrusted to NJ.
Zaimis former premier. The new cabi-
net will be made up on nonpOlitical
lines, even including one or two adj
herents of former Premier Venizelos
Late last night the sound of a heavy
explosion drew a crowd to the home of
NJ. Nenizelos, owing to the groundless
fear that an attempt on his life had been
made.
The ultimatum of the entente powers
was delivered to the Greek government
at noon Wednesday.
NAfter a protracted session of the
crown council, presided over by King
Constantine. former Premier Zaimis
agreed today to form a cabinet to deal
with the situation which has arisen
from the demands of the entente.

NEED OF RESERVE
CORPSISPROVED,
SAYS GEN. WOOD
Only Two Troops of Cavalry
and Two Infantry Regiments
Modified to Date in De-
partment of the East

NEW YORK, June 22.-The move
ment of additional regiments of the New
York national guard to Camp Whitman
at Beekman, n. Y, the modifying site
for state troops, was halted today in
compliance with orders from Major Cen
eral John f. Organ, in order that the
water supply at the camp should be
completed before their arrival. Two
regiments already at the camp and elev-
en- others are awaiting orders to 60
Up to this morning Major General
Leonard Wood, commanding the depart
ment of the east, had received official
notice that only two troops of cavalry
and two regiments of infantry were MOB
ilized in the whole department, covering
twenty-five states, and extending from
the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mex
leo along the Atlantic coast
Commenting thereon, General Wood
said the need of regular army reserve
corps was clearly demonstrated. He
added that he was informed that the
troops in camp are only up to peace
strength, which meant that each regi-
ment was about 1000 men short of
war strength. He regarded it as likely
that the same shortage existed in all
the states in his department, which
would mean that all the regiments
would have to recruit and drill men be-
fore they would be ready for service
Il do not wish to imply any criti-
cism of the nationa' guard" said Gen.
eral Wood, but the facts illustrate
our utter lack Of readiness to defend
ourselves on short notice should there
be need.
CAT-SES No SURPRISE
ut is no surprise to me nor should
it be to anyone who has a knowledge
of military affairs. 1t is impossible 20
expect business men to drop their work
suddenly and dash off to camp"
Major General Organ announced to-
day that he had received offers from
companies engaged in constructing mo-
tor cars throughout the country to hold
up contracts with European belligerents
and, if necessary, turn over to the
United States motor trucks, ambulances
and automobiles intended for use in the
European war
The transformation of the Sixty-fifth
infantry of Buffalo into the First heavy
artillery regiment in the militia Of
any state now requires only the ap-
proval of the war department at Wash
ington. 1t is proposed to equip the regi-
ment with twenty-four guns, either sig
inch or 4.7-inch howitzers. The pro-
posal has been approved by the state
military authorities.

WASHINGTON. June 22.-An official
communication from the Mexican for
eign Office. announcing the clash be-
tween Mexican and American troops at
CarrizaI and saying the de facto gov

Iivered 70 Secretary Lansing today by

saying such an event would be one Of
open hostility.
Secretary Lansing had no official in
formation on which 20 discuss the Car
rial affair. and according to Mr.. Are
dondo. also was without knowledge of
whether any Mexican towns actually
had been occupied.
Official Mexican dispatches were de-
scribed to Secretary Lansing indicating
that the Mexican forces thought the
American troops who approached Car
rial intended to take the town.
Arredondo said he called Secretary
Lansing's attention 10 the distance
traxersed by the American troops from
their base. and to what he called 'the
msn6er in approaching the Mexican
railway
From the tone as well as the con-
tents OF this communication officials
drew the Impression that Carranza de-
sired TO disclaim responsibility for the
affair, and make IL plain tina no at
tempt had been made TO carry out his
threat TO undertake expulsion OF the
American expedition by force OF arms.
Further information regarding the ac-
tivities for peace Of foreign diplomats
at Mexico City reached the state de-
partment during the day. From the

mands of some Of his own advisers.

LAST STRAW.
Reports from Mexican sources telling
of the clash, but not disclosing Ameri-
car casualties were accepted by officials
as fairly authentic, although none
would believe that the Americans made
the first attack. The reports created
spirit of greater tensity than has ex-
listed over Mexican relations for many
months. Many influential officials adj
mitted privately they believed this at
tack was "the last straw" on the load
of indignities suffered by this nation
from Mexican disorders.
Pending receipt of General Funston's
report. President Wilson considered the
situation seriously. He was equally
anxious to receive from Mexico City
some indication of Carranza's attitude
toward the American note sent Tues
day.
If the fight represents the answer
to the note, there is little doubt that
President Wilson will recommend that
congress declare war against Mexico.
The incident yesterday renewed ef-
forts of the war department to prepare
the national guard for immediate serv-
ice at the border. 1t was said some
units already modified might be or
dered to entrain not later than tomor-
row.

Secretary of War Baker FASTENED to

tionaI guard regiments modified, and
available for immediate service.
At the White House it was said the
presidents policy was unchanged for

Secretary Baker informed President
Wilson early today that there had been
no report from General Pershing on the
fight between American and Carranza
Baker went to the White House with
dispatches from General Funston giving
such information as had been obtained
from Mexican sources.
NEW ORDERS TO FUNSTON.
Later secretary Baker said the new
orders had been sent to General Fun
ston, and that the government would
take no step until an account from its
own officers showing what happened
had been received.
