U. s. SEES NO NEED
 TO HURRY REPLY

(ey Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON. June 1.-General Carranza's note demanding withdraw al of American troops from Mexico. has brought no change in the deter imitation of President Wilson to main tain the present troop disposition an- til the ability of the de facto govern ment to police it's side of the border has been demonstrated. It was stated authoritatively today that General Pershing's force would remain where it IS until that time arrives.
 reply will be made to General CarranZa but the form it viii take ras not Deen determined tonight Presi- dent Wilson read the hasty transla- ton of the long communication last night A corrected text is being ire pared by the state department for his information.
 While official comment is withheld it is understood that the document is regarded as decidedly offensive, and that certain portions of it. such as the thinly yelled accusation that the President is playing domestic politics. may draw a sharp rebuke. It is doubt full. according to authorities on the international correspondence of the United States, if the government has ever received communication couched in as offensive terms as this one.
 Wilson Refuses to Worry.
 President Wilson himself will de eide the course which shall be pur-
 h. Iaa~ mad night. no conference or preliminary inquiries have yet been initiated to determine the nature of the reply Apparently none are necessary SO far as the withdrawal of the troops IS concerned There is no indication that possibility is even being con sidered. The President left Washing ton tonight for Annapolis to hold graduating exercises at the naval academy. Consequently there will be no cabinet meeting tomorrow. This in itself will delay any early reply 10 Carranza and it is generally believed that no answer will be framed for week or ten days.
 Reply Sometime, Maybe
 The Mexican note was sent by messenger. requiring a week in tran sit. and was further delayed after its arrival here. Officials felt there can be no question of urgency inaa com munication SO handed. and ~ill not treat it as a pressinsa matter

 As matter of fact the new note caused hardly a ripple in atministra- tion circles. No new orders SSnt t9 General Funston beyond a request nv officials of the general stan for de tailed information as to disposition oi Carranza troops. In view Of the notes open threat of an attack on Pershing's column. it was though wise to give attention to the military problem. although no doubt is felt as to the complete security of the Ameri- can force under any circumstances.
 Political Trick?
 Some diplomatic officials express the opinion. however. that European influence might be behind the move. while others thought it merely an st- tempt to gain publicity and noted that the matter was urged just on the eve of the political conventions in the United States.

 Officials are prepared to refute many of the statements of Carranzas Lote should the President desire to enter into a discussion of facts in his reply. Among these are the repeated declarations that General Scott. chief of staff. especially agreed with Gen eral Obregon that no new expeditions should cross the border and admitted that the ohiert of General PershinS's drive into Mexico had heen accom- nlished It is known that General Scott had no such understanding when the Fl Paso conference ended. On the contrary. in common with other army officers. he is said to hold that under the original eNchsnse Of notes as well as under the Scott Ohrc-cr understanding the Tinted States has r0rnrlete EAertv ;S fNllsv any ho' trail acro~s the live.
