Allies Say That German lnfIu-

NO MARCHING ORDERS YET
international Conference on the
Mexican Situation is the
Latest Suggestion.


WASHINGTON, June 2l.-Strong
pressure is being brought to bear up
on General Carranza by representa-
tives OF European powers to prevent
him from forcing a break with tho
United States. Indirect reports reach
ing the state department today told
OF these efforts and said there was n
possibility they would be successful.
Agencies OF the Entente Allies are
understood TO be active for peace.
particularly. they say, because German
influence has sought to infiame the
Mexican government against the
United States with view to prevent
ing this country from gathering in
trade formerly controlled by Ger
many In Mexico. South and Central
America.
1t is pointrd out that Carranza
right avoid war by calling for an
international commission to discuss
the border situation as provided for
In the treaty Of 1S4S. So far. how
ever, no suggestion for such a step
has come from Mexico.
A definite statement has been re-
viewed that General Carranza is
doing all in his power to protect
Americans in Mexico from attack by
the ponulace. He is said to have
given Special Agent Rodgers in Mex
leo City all the aid in his power in
arranging for trains to carry Ameri-
can refugees from the Interior to
Vera Cruz. In some quarters here
this was construed as evidence that
he Is not bent upon provoking hos
tilitles.
Tho state department had no ad.
vices bearing out these hopeful indi-
cations. except that from Special
Agent Rodgers announcing the prog
ress OF his efforts to get American
citizens out. With the full consent
OF the ,Carranza authorities, he said,
and the promise OF adequate prbtec-
ton from possible bandit attacks, he
had arranged for special train to
leave Mexico City tomorrow carrying
Americans to Vera Cruz
Marching orders for national
guard organizations summoned to
the colOrs are still held up ut the war
department, pending completion of
the mobilization of the troops at
state camps.
Just as soon as a sufficient number
Of the guardsmen have been mustered
into the federal service, the war de-
partment will act upon General Funs-
tons report Of yesterday stating the
number OF units he desired.
Only preliminary reports on the
progress OF the mobilization in various
states have reached the war depart
ment These were viewed as salts
factory.
Secretary Baker said the suggestion
that the senior class at West Point
Military Academy be graduated imme-
diatoly for active service was under
consideration but that no decision had
been reached. The cadets have COM
pletod three years OF their work and
could be commissioned as second lieu
tenants Immediately.
