Ell Paso, Tex, juno 29.-American
prisoners taken by Carranzistas in
the battle of CarrizaI will be re-
leased. Andres Garcia. Mexican con-
sui in Ell Paso, informed Gen. Bell,
commanding the forces at FL Paso. to
that effect Wednesday afternoon.
They are to be delivered at the bor-
der. today. with all armc and equip
ment captured with them.
This is expected to prevent .
breach of relations between the two
governments for the present and may
lead to arbitration. The decision OF
the Carranzistas to release the Ameri-
can prisoners was unexpected. The
attitude of the Carranza officers had
been defiant, and Americans did not
expect the Carranza government to
accede to the ultimatum. Therefore
the meeting of the American general
and the Mexican consul came as a
surprise. When it was divulged that
Mr.. Garcia had informed Gen. Bell,
Mr.. Garcia at first declined to make
a statement, but later they confirmed
the fact that the release had been or
dered and that the men would be
brought to Ell Paso to be turned over
to the United States. Mr.. Garcia
said:
My government to show its good
faith and to convince the American
hn nfc n hn foi
has decided to send the prisoners to
the border that they may be turned
over to Gen. Bell.
Our government does not believe
the American government, when it in
vestigates fully, will approve the ac
tions of the American forces which
engaged the Carranza troops in actor
at Carrizal last Friday. For that rea
son we see no good reason for hold
ing the prisoners-those men of the
American command made prisoners
by US. We will return the prisoners
with their arms, horses and equip
ment, to the American border. They
will be started from Chihuahua to
night and should arrive here Thurs
day some time"
Border Americans generally believe
war with Mexico must come, sooner
or later, and they think the sooner
1t is brought about the better.
Mexican officials were happy over
the turn in events They declared
that this would mean a lessening oi
the tension of the last few days.
shington.-Virtually all danger
of immediate war with Mexico has
been averted by the decision of Gen
Carranza to surrender the American
prisoners at Chihuahua, in compli
ance with President Wilson's de
mand War may come yet but if II
does, it will be the result of further
clashes between American and Mex
lean troops or of continued defiance
by Carranza of the pacification ol
northern Mexico by the United States
army AS result of Carranza's com
pliance with his principal demand
President Wilson decided that there
is no immediate occasion for going
before Congress to obtain additional
authority to enforce his policy.

AN APPRECIATION

"The friends thou hast and their
adoption tried, grapple to thy soul
with hooks Of STEEL" said Shakes
pere, and the friends we have in AL
good have been tried in the balance
and never found wanting, through
illnesses, sorrows and death, and
their adoption was truly tried when
our home was burned to the ground
within an hour. How they rallied
around us! How they worked!
And how many things they saved.
It was marvellous and the scene an
impressive one. Brothers and Sis
ters could not have gathered up our
treasures and carried them to places
of safety more tenderly and loving
ly, than did these dear friends.
rhev seemed to try to save all they
thought we valued most and the lit
tie things We loved, even to our ba-
by's little red wagon. Some dear
mother must have thought Of that,
For such loving kindness and great
help. words are inadequate to offer
in thanks but our hearts are offer
ing thanksgivings for such friends,
and sincere prayers that Gods rich
est blessings may rest upon them
these dear good people of Algood.
