DANGER Of WAR WITH MEXICO H OVER
CARRANZA'S NOTE.

Washington, July 5.-The text of the Mexican note to the United States, as transmitted by Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador designate, to Secretary Lansing today, follows:
 Washington, D. C., July I, 1916.
 MT. Secretary-T have the honor 10 transmit in continuation the text of a note l have just received from my government with instructions to present it to your eXcellency.
 "'Mr. Secretary, referring to the noteG of June 20 and 9 last l have the honor to say 10 your cXcellency that the immediate release of the Car riZal prisoners was farther proof of the sincere desires of this govern menl to reach a pacific and satisfac- tory arrangement of present difficult ties This government is anxious to solve the present conflict and it would be unjust if it's attitude were misin terpreted
 "It was also the Mexican govern ment that earnestly suggested plan for cantonments along the boundary line during the conferences of Ciudad Juarez and Fl Paso. This government is disposed now, as it has always been, to seek an immediate solution of the two points which constitute the true cause of the conflict between the two countries, tO-wit: The American government thinks reasonably that the insecurity of it's frontier is source of difficulty and the Mexican government on it's part believes that the stay of American troops on Mexi- hnin c r.eC pass on the sovereignty of Mexico, is the immediate cause of the conflicts. Therefore, the withdrawal Of Ameri- can troops on one hand, the protec- tion of the frontier on the other, are the two essential problems, the solu- ton of which must be the directing object of the efforts of both coun- tries.
 Would Accept Mediation Offer.
 ""The Mexican government is will ing to consider in a quick and prac- tical way and prompted by spirit of concord. the remedies which should be applied to the present situation.
 Several I.atin-American countries have offered their friendly mediation to the Mexican government and the latter has accepted it in principle. Therefore, the Mexican government only awaits information that the gov ernment 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 attained by means of direct negotiations between , beth governments.
 "In the meantime, this government proposes to employ all efforts that may be at it's disposal to avoid the recurrence of new incidents which may complicate and aggravate the situation.
 "'At the same time it hopes that the American government on it's part may make use of all efforts to pre- vent new acts of it's military and civ il authorities of the frontier that might cause new complications.
 "I avail myself of this opportunity to reiterate to your excellency the as- surance of my most distinguished con- sideratior.
 "'C. AGUILAR' Having thus complied with higher instructions of my government, it af- lords me pleasure to reiterate to your excellency the assurance Of my highest consideration.
 ''E. ARREDONDO."

The Alaska daily empire., 1916-06-20

WASHINGTON, June 20. - Secretary of State Lansing handed the latest American re- ply to Carranza's recent note that the American soldiers be withdrawn from Mexico, to the Mexican ambassador this fore noon. This note was immed- lately dispatched to provisional president Carranza at Mexico City and should be received by him late today.
 The note fiatly rejects the demands of Carranza that the American troops withdraw from Mexican territory.
 The note says that the Unit ed States did not seek to place soldiers in Mexico, but a duty was forced upon it. Bandits made raids upon American ter ritory and the United States was forced to pursue these ban dits under the fundamental principles of municipal or inter- national law.
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-06-20

The bandits ought to have been pursued and arrested and then punished by the Mexican authorities, but no such action was taken.
 Whenever Mexico will assume effectively and exercise that re- sponsibiIity, the United States, will be glad to withdraw it's soldiers. If the Mexican gov- .ernment will assume the obliga- tion of capturing bandits, sup pressing them and prevent raids on American territory, the United States will fulfill it's agreement and withdraw all troops.
 'Tf, on the contrary, the de- facto government of Mexico is pleased to ignore this obliga- tiOn, and is lead to believe that in case the United States re- fuses to retire her troops and there is no further recourse left to Mexico than to defend

it's territory by an appeal to arms, the government of the United States would surely be lacking in sincerity and friend ship if it failed frankly to im- press the defacto government that execution of this threat will lead to the gravest conse- quences.
 While this government will deeply regret such results, it cannot recede from it's settled determination to maintain it's national rights and perform its full duty by preventing further invasion of the territory of the United States and remove the peril which the Americans along the border have borne so long with patience and forbearance.
 The administration officials will await eagerly the reply of the defacto government of Mexico or the first signs of re- taliation by the soldiers of Car ranZa.
