Still Awaiting Word From carranza

Still Awaiting Word From Carranza
a GAIN settlement of the issue between this
4 country and the Carranza government
has been postponed, and again the delay has
been caused by the Mexican de facto govern
mont. For whatever the memorandum issued
by the Mexican Foreign Office may indicate
as to the future action of the Carranza gov
eminent. it is in no sense reply to Secretary
Lansing's note OF June 25.
1t will be remembered that the ultimatum
of that date. forwarded in response to Car
rama S aVo~al on the preceding day of the
Mexican commanders action at Carrizal, con-
tanned two distinct demands: first, the re-
lease of the prisoners and property held at
Chihuahua and, second, an early statement
from the Mexican government TO the
course OF action it wished this government
to understand it had determined upon. To
the first of these, Carranza has Yielded and
the troopers and their belongings are now at
I'll Paso. To the second, there has been no
formal response.
Nor would the administration be fully
justified in accepting the statements made in
the Mexican memorandum even an I'M
official answer. 1t was not released in Mexico
until Friday, at which time the American
note OF last Sunday was also published so
that II should be taken, primarily, as a state
ment to the Mexican people. Further Mr.
Arredondo's declaration that the reply So
licted by the United States had not reached
him, and the belief that a formal reply is
now on the way. warrant the administration
in ignoring, officially, the Foreign Office
mCmoran dum
Most OF the counts contained in the memo
randum are argumentative and invite dis
cussion and negotiation, rather than neces-
state action The only statement that is
even remotely responsive to the issue clearly
DEFINED in the American note is to be found
iii the clause insisting that the United States
has no right to maintain armed forces on
Mexican soil
1t is possible that the formal reply will
modify TO some extent the rrmness now ap-
parent on that point. But granting that the
reply, when it comes, will include an asser-
ton OF the Mexican governments position
that this country has no right to maintain
armed forces on Mexican SOIL" then the aues-
ton arises: what means will Carranza en-
ploy 10 sustain that contention? And this
again brings UP the second demand of the
american note: an early statement as to the
course OF action it wishes this government to
understand 1t has determined upon AS Con-
gross will not act until after the Fourth Of
July in any case the country can we'll afford

After months Of comparative inactivity
which had brought bitter criticism, the Brit

Tar greater than any in history. From the
User TO the Sommc along front OF nearly
ninety miles, the British shclled the German
lines for four days, with an expenditure OF
munitions which, it is said. required the uso
of more than million shells day, and
which resulted in the eveling of German
trenches, the demolishment Of wire entanelo-
ments and even in the cutting off of the Ger
mans from their rear. The curtain of fro
both before and behind the enemy trenches
was SO dense that no living thing could ma So

Then over front OF more than twenty
miles north OF the Somme the British
launched simultaneous attack, which seems
to have found necessary only the cleaning
up OF the trenches. With a loss OF life

Taylor used to tell.
According to this anecdote, an Irish sailor
was shipwrecked and later washed ashore on
an unknown island. Hospitable natives
finding him in their midst provided for his
wants. Suddenly, he demanded to know if
there was a government on the island, and
being informed that there was. the Irishman
shouted, well, I'm against It'll"
Colonel Roosevelt is against the man in

his is worthy. and no program of action but
