BADGER INFANTRY
MOVES ON BORDER
All Troops to Be Concentrated at
Fort Sam Houston.
MEN EAGER TO SEE SERVICE
Hail Journey to the South With Joy
Even If They Are Not Likely to
Get Across the Mexican
Border

Camp Douglas.-With the movement
of the brigade of Wisconsin infantry
to the border in full sway. officers left
at Camp Douglas are confident that
the entire body of Wisconsin troops
will be in camp near the Mexican Dor
der before the end of the week
After weeks of preparation and
many delays that made the men i'm
patient, the Badger soldiers went iubi-
'antly to their new camp at Fort Sam
Houston, near San Antonio, Tex,
where they expect to see service of a
nature more nearly approaching that
Of actual warfare than they have ever
experienced in their annual encamp-
ments. Most of the men were eager to
get the training that will come with
border patrol duty even if they are
never called upon to cross the border.
The First regiment as had been ex-
pected all along was the first of the
infantry regiments to get away but the
schedule arranged by the officers pro-
vided that the other regiments would
not be far behind in reaching the new
camp in the South.
The indications that the Wisconsin
soldiers would not see war in Mexico
at the end of their journey relieved
the tension among relatives of the sol
diers and the farewells were not mark
ed by tears as they would have been
had the regiments left week before.
Wives and sweethearts were cOnsoled
by the belief that their loved ones
would not be called upon to face the
dangers of actual warfare but would
return to them after a few weeks or a
few months, at most, of routine duty
on the border.

Expect More Bandit Raids.
The de facto government of Mexico

American frontier from bandit raids
Ambassador Designate Arredondo so
notified the state department. And in
connection with that notification he
suggested that all American troops
on the border be unusually active.
This new position assumed by Gen
eral Carranza and his advisers was a
distinct relief to the United States.
Orders Immediately were rushed to
the various commanders all along the
line to keep their troops ready for any
eventuality. The very fact that in
admitting that the situation was grave

garrison at Corallitos on Wednesday

this band might try to penetrate the

TEXT OF CARRANZA NOTE

- T. o.
'Mr. Secretary:
81 have the honor to transmit
in continuation the text of a note
l have just received from my gov
eminent with Instructions TO pre-
sent it to your excellency:
"Mr. Secretary:
Referring to the notes of June
20 and 25 last, / have the honor
to say to your excellency that the
immediate release of the CarrizaI
prisoners was a further proof of
the sincerity of the desires of this
government to reach a pacific and
satisfactory arrangement of
present difficulties. This govern
ment is anxious to solve the pres
ent conflict and it would be un-
just if its attitude would be mis-
interpreted.
Urges Withdrawal of Troops.
"'It was also the Mexican gov
eminent that earnestly suggested
a plan for cantonments along the
boundary line during the confer
ences of Ciudad, Juarezand Ell Paso
This government is disposed now,
as it has always been, to seek an
immediate solution of the two
points which constitute the true
causes of the conflict between the
two countries, to-wit: the Ameri-
lean government believes reason
ably that the insecurity of its from
tier is source of difficulty, and
the Mexican government on its
part believes that the stay of
American troops on Mexican terri
tory, aside from being trespass on
the sovereignty of Mexico, is the
immediate cause of the conflict.
Therefore, the withdrawal of
American troops, ON the one hand,
and the protection of the frontier,
on the other, are the two essen
tial problems, the solution of
which must be the directing OBJ
ject of the efforts of both govern
ments.
The Mexican government is
willing to consider in a quick and
practical way and prompted by a
spirit of concord the remedies
which should be applied to the
present situation.
"'Several Latin-American coun-
tries have offered their friendly
mediation to the Mexican govern
ment, and the latter has accepted
it in principle. Therefore, the
Mexican government only awaits
information that the government
of the United States would be
disposed to accept this mediation
for the purpose mentioned above
or whether it is still of the belief
that the same results may be OBJ
tanned by means of direct negoti-
ations between both governments.
To Avoid New Complications.
In the meantime this govern
ment proposes to employ all eff
forts that may be at it's disposal
to avoid the recurrence of new in
cidents which may complicate and
aggravate the situation. At the
same time it hopes that the Amer
lean government on it's part may
make all efforts to prevent also
any new acts of its military and
civil authorities on the frontier
that may cause new complications.
81 avail myself of this oppor-
tunity to reiterate to your keel
lency the assurance of my most
distinguished consideration.
&C. AGUILAR.' >"
