WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Carran-
"a must release the American prison.
ers at Chihuahua by midnight or
Wilson will go after them. Those near
the president today declared there
would not be any delay because Of
Carranza's demands to release Mexi-
can prisoners in this country. This,
with the food embargo and other
questions, declare officials, the pres.
ident is solely interested in getting the
American soldiers from the Chihua.
hua penitentiary Congress quietly
is awaiting Carranza's reply which was
expected early this afternoon.
There is a persistent feeling that
Carranza will yield. 1t is known posi-
lively that he first had intended to
release the prisoners. The danger
lies in the possibility of Carranza
asking for an exchange of prisoners.
If he took this position or otherwise
delayed freedom to the Americans,
the president would follow out the
course he already has determined up
On. 1t would not include a declara-
ton of war but would mean the rescue
Of the Americans by force, however
long or arduous the effort. The pres
ident would outline his intended
course and ask congress to support
his program.

AMERICAS ABILITY

TO RETALIATE.
Two wrongs do not make right.
and retaliation does net justify itself.
However, there are some occasions
when retaliation, because it's power
is overwhelming, will restore the
statue quo and in such instances 1t
is eXcusable.
Great Britain, since the beginning
of the war, has ignored the rights of

power of the British navy. England

The British navy can force the will

British navy cannot force the United
States to compliance to the British
Will in such manner. Rather is the
power to force compliance on the

Retaliation will be the final weapon
for the United States to adopt, but il
England fources it into our hands 1t

find food for reflection in the arrival
of a large German submarine ut Bal

Naturally a vessel that can cross the

craft, can cross for hostile purposes
as we'll. The mere fact that such a
vessel has come indicates that the

destroying shipping within harbors
