MEXICAN AMBASSADOR REPORTS
STORY OF FIGHT TO SEC. LANSING
And Asks Explanation of Reported Occupation of
Two Mexican Towns Gen. Pershing Has Not
Yet Made an Official Report on the Engage
ment

Ell PASO Texas, June 22-A detach-
ment of American cavalry clashed with
Carranza forces at Carrizal, 90 miles south
of here, early yesterday, according to a
report to the Mexican military authorities
at Juarez, the Mexican town across the
Rio Grande from this city
According to the official announcement
made at the Mexican consulate today the
Americans lost p killed including their
commander and II prisoners. while the
Mexican losses were II killed and 30
wounded. The announcement said that
complete details had been received from
Villa Ahumada, the Mexican field head
quarters in northern Chihuahua, but the
name of the American commander was
not given, The Americans are said to
have removed their wounded with them
Jrrrrrz was more than half evacuated at
10 O'Clock today by the Carranza garrison
! 1t was officially reported that three train
loads of soldiers had gone southward dur
ing the early morning and that three
| itioIt ItdIiS iliu Ieen loaded IN prepare
tion for departure.
First news OF Yesterdays engagement
was received in Juarez early Yesterday af-
ternoon by Gen. Francisco Gonzales, Car
rama commander of the border military
zone, but for some reason he kept the story
secret until an American returning to the
border from the interior brought to El
Paso the news that he had seen numerous
Mexicans dead along the tracks of the
Mexican Central railway.
General Gonzales's first step after con
firming the news was to issue a pamphlet
placing the blame on the American com
mander. He charged that the United
States troops fired first and that THEN
shots were directed at a courier who hac
asked them to retire
The Americans engaged are thought tc
have been members of troop of the
Tenth cavalry, under command Of Capt
Lewis s. Morey, who were returning from
a scouting trip. The size of the Mexican
force, whose commander, Gen. Felix Go
mez, was killed, is not known

Will Demobilize Army, Suppress Ger
man Propaganda and Not Dis
Courage Pro-Ally Sentiment.

ATHENS, June 81, via London.-Greeee
has accepted Internationally the demands
made by the entente powers. This deci-
sion was communicated to the French le-
CATION by former premier Zaimis to whom

to have been entrusted. The message was
delivered to the Greek government today
"Wednesday.
The demands of the entente powers are:
First, complete general rehabilitation;
second, removal of the chief of police OF
Athens; third, popular pro-entente senti-
ment not to be suppressed; fourth, depor-
tation of agents spreading German prop
aganda.
While the dissolution of the chamber OF
deputies also was desired the newspapers
say that it may not be directly demanded
After session of the crown council form
er premier Zaimis agreed today to attempt
to form a cabinet to deal with the situa
| ton.

II AMERICANS KILLED IN
ENCOUNTER NEAR CARRIZAL
FORD EMPLOYEES LOSE JOBS
IF THEY JOIN THE MILITIA

DETROIT, June 22.-In line with
his pacifst policies Henry Ford an
nouneed yesterday that any en-
ployes of the Ford Motor company
who are members of the Michigan
National Guard viii not only not re
eeive pay while absent, but viii for
felt their places as well. Many Ford
employees who intend to enlist as re
cruits in the Guard likewise will re-
iinquish their places it was said. At
the offices of Mr.. Ford information
as to how many militiamen were in
cluded in his 10000 odd employees
here was refused.
''We would be sorry to see any of
our men resign to enlist in the
Guard" one of Mr.. Ford's assist
ants said, but both recruits and
state militiamen will be treated
aHke-as though they quit the plant
to engage in other lines of bust

NO OFFICIAL REPORT.
But Pershing Has Sent Cavalry to Get
in Touch With Engaged Troop.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June %. -
Gen. Pershing reported to Gen. Fun
ston today that he had not yet received
a report on the fight at Carrizal, but
added that on information sent to him
he had sent out two squadrons of the
11th cavalry with instructions to get
into touch with the troop of the 10th
that was engaged yesterday by the
Mexican forces.
Gen. Funston made it plain that Gen.
Pershing's first report has not altered
the general situation and that no spe-
ciaI orders will be issued until Per
shing has rendered report in
detail Of the fight and the incidents
that led to it.
Gen. Pershing said that all his men
| had orders not to do anything calculat
ed to start a fight with troops of the de
| facto government. Although not stated
in Pershing' 5 report officers at head
quarters drew the inference that Capt
Charles T. Boyd was in command OF
Troop H, the troop believed to have
been the one engaged at Carrizal.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-No reason
for a change in policy towards Mexico is
seen by the Washington government IN
NcXican accounts of the clash at CarrlzaI
Until a report comes from General
Pcrshing there will be no decision, but
President Wilson is said to view the affair
as an incident for which the subordinate
commanders probably were responsible
and not an act likely to start general hos
tiHties
Further information regarding the ac-
tiyities of foreign diplomats for peace at
Mexico City reached the state department
during the day. From the same source it
was learned that Carranza was eXertng
every effort to avoid break with the
United States and at the same time re
straining the belligerent demands of some
of his-acvisUrs. -"------------~------- ------------
War department officials believe that if
i American soldiers actually are in the
hands of the Mexicans they will be sur
rendered at the first opportunity. \ de
maud for their immediate release would
be one of the first steps taken by the
United States government
Callers on the President today got the
impression that he is determined that if
despite all efforts to prevent it war with
Mexico should come the action of the
United States would be prompt and on a
scale of considerable magnitude 1t would
not be a war of conquest, but Mr. Wilson
is said to be prepared if necessary to use
the maximum strength of the nation for
n short campaign to re-establish order.
Secretary Baker said no new orders had
been sent to General Funston and that
the government would take no steps until
an account from its own officers showing
what had happened had been received.
National guardsmen to reinforce the Dor
der patrol will be sent as soon as their
mobilization and organization is completed
but Mr. Baker would not predict when
that might be.
I'VE have only the information from
Mexican sources and from a few Ameri
cans who arrived on trains at FL Paso, >
said the secretary. eve are waiting fol
further information either from Genera
Pershing or other American sources"
From unofficial sources Mr.. Baker saic
he had been informed of the statement 10y

for the orders issued to the Mexican de
tachment which made the attack. II

WORK FOR MEN AT
MASSACHUSETTS CAMP
Several Days Likely to Elapse Before
Bay State Militia Are Mustered
Into U. S. Service.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass, june % =
Lieut.-CoI. Buck, U. S. A, On special
detail here, announced today that the
work Of mastering the Massachusetts
militia into the federal army would
not begin for several days. Orders re
ceived last night Indicated that this
would begin at once although it was
explained that it would be necessary
to await the arrival of formal papers
and equipment. Because of this change
it was not expected that the troops
would be ready to move before the
first of next week.
With Gen. Sweetzer in command
the camp today took up the schedule
of work, work, work" and little
play so that the troops can be put in
to condition with the least possible
delay. Reports from regimental com
manders showed that 927 men had en-
listed III three days and of this mum.
Der 2l7 were from the western part
of the state.
Lack of horses for the field artil
lery and cavalry prevented the con
pIete mobilization of the state quota
but it was said that enough would be
available by tonight to permit ths
moving of these troops.

DISRUPTS LEAGUE
Baseball Will Be Played Here, How
ever, and League Ranks May Be
Filled by Other Players.

While the departure Of Company 1
for the mobilization camp has taken
one entire team from the Brattleboro
league and weakened the Knights of
Columbus, there is no intention at
present of giving up playing ball if
the weather is favorable once in q
while on Saturday.
The Wheel club and Fort Dummer
teams will play a full nine-inning
game at Island park Saturday after
noon at o'clock BY a strange
chance the schedule calls for these
teams to meet in the first of the Gus
tomary two games on that date.
Before the following Saturday ii
will have been determined whether it
will be possible to make up four teams
to continue the league as originally
planned.

FOR FEDERAL SERVICE.
Bill Authorizing the President to Take
Over State Troops Ready.

WASHINGTON, June pa resolution
authorizing the President to draft the ma
tionaI guard willing to take the federal
oath Immediately into the army under the
terms Of the new army bill was submitted
by Secretary OF War Baker to Chairman
Hay of the house military commission to-
day He said that he would call it up to-
morrow and urge its immediate passage.
1t is possible, Mr., Hay said, that he
would obtain consideration Of the resolu-
tion by unanimous consent, but he was
prepared to ask for special rule if nee
essary.
The resolution differs slightly from that
originally prepared for bringing the ma
tionaI guard into federal service in that
it would provide for service during the
period of the emergency" instead OF the
period of the war"

Secretary Lansing Gets Official An
nouncement from Mexican Ambassador.
WASHINGTON, June 22-An official
communication from the Mexican foreign
office announcing a clash between Mexican
and American troops at Carrizal and say
ing the de facto government found it diff
cult to understand why the Americans
should have been so far away from their
base, was delivered to Secretary Lansing
today by Eliseo Arrendondo, Mexican am
bassador designate Mr.. Arrendondo also
sought an explanation of the reported ac-
tion of General Pershing in occupying the
towns of Casas Grandes and Nuevo
Grandes, saying such an act would be one
of open hostility.
Official Mexican dispatches were de-
scribed to Secretary Lansing as indicating
that the Mexican forces fought the Amer
lean troops who approached. Carranza
had intended to take the towns. Secretary
Lansing had no official information or
which to discuss the affair and, according
to Mr.. Arrendondo, also was without
knowledge of whether any Mexican towns
actually had been occupied. He said his
report showed that II American soldiers
had been captured, but did not give TIN
number Of casualties among either Of tht
4 forces.
