Note as Casus Belli--Funston Asks

81 Paso, June 21.-GeneraI Pershing
has reported that his scouts have
sighted two divisions of the Carranza
array advancing slowly in the direc-
ton of the positions occupied by the
punitive expedition. One division is
approaching the line of communication
near Ell Vale. Another is moving
westward in the direction of Namiqui--
pa. The scouting parties have halted
and reinforcements are being sent to
strengthen their positions. Any fur
ther advance by either Of the Mexi-
can columns will be resisted by fight
ing if necessary. Lieutenant Colonel
Cabell, chief of staff to General Perish
ing, asking for an additional supply
of provisions, has stated that open
hostilities are inevitable.
Washington, June s21.-The war de-
partment is preparing orders for the
first militia regiments to entrain for
the border and reinforce General Fun
ston's army Of $4,000.
This decision was reached at the
close of a day marked by develop
ments that convinced officials the
United States and Mexico are hourly
drawing nearer war. Important de-
velopments of the day were:
First-The United States sent to the
Mexican government war note warn
ing Carranza OF the grave consequence
es that will follow resort to arms by
Mexico.
Second-The president and cabinet
reached the firm decision to back up
the note with the armed strength Of
the nation, even to the extent of call
ing out half million volunteers to
supplement the regulars and militia.
Third - Ambassador-Desi Ar
redondo suddenly Cancelled an engage
ment with Secretary OF State Lansing
Mexican embassy officials regarded
the note as an affront, and possibly
casus belli.
Fourth-Special Agent Rodgers in
formed the state department of anti
American demonstrations in Mexico
City, and said he had arranged to take
all Americans on special trains to
Vera Cruz, where the United States
transport Hancock will be waiting to
bring them to the United States.
Fifth-Anticipating an immediate
clash, General Funston wired the war
department to send the first install
ment Of National Guard to the border
Immediately.
Upon the receipt of General Fun
ston's request the war department
telegraphed department commanders
to report Immediately upon the prog
ress Of national guard mobilization.
Responses to these kilograms showed
tile Massachusetts and District of Co
lumbia national guards organizations
were nearest completely modified
These regiments and those Of New
York and Illinois, both of which states
have cavalry, of which General Fun
ston needs the aid, are likely to be
the first ordered to the border.
Officials Prepared for War.
1t was not expected that any mill
tia establishments will be ready to en-
train at once, but chiefs of the divi-
sion Of militia affairs said if General
Funston urges their immediate dis
patch they will be sent to the border
without awaiting for full mobilization
and recruiting.

The note was handed early Tuesday
to Elisio Arredondo, the Mexican am
bassador designate here, for transmits
sion to Mexico City. Copies were
furnished to all foreign embassies and
legations, and summary cabled to
Special Agent Rodgers at the Mexican

In addition to refusing to withdraw
the troops and warning that execution

followed by the gravest consequences,
the note serves notice that as long as
the Carranza forces continue their
present attitude, no arms or ammuni-
tion, or ma chinery for their manufac-
ture, will be permitted to reach Mex

more and more frequently made in

THE PUBLIC FORUM
ASKS FOR PROOF have no
ticed with interest the article in The
Day Book Of issue of July Is, where
in 'JaTlath Gibbons" slams Editor
Cochran for stating that he could
subscribe to the declaration of prin-
Ciples of the Guardians of Liberty. If
the truth is to be known, the. princi-
pies referred to are simply a boiled
down copy of the Declaration of In
dependence and any person who
cannot subscribe to such principles
can only be Classed as a traitor to
the United States.
Reference is also made to the Stat
terry lectures held last spring, the
statement being made that DR.. Stat
terry accused Catholic nuns of habit
Ual immortality. attended every one
Of the SlatteTy lectures and can
truthfUlly say that Dr. SlatteTy made
no such charges. He confined his
talk to civil and religious liberty and
political ROmanism.
Further, the Guardians of Liberty
are not interested in the religious
phase Of Roman Catholicism, confin-
ing their efforts entirely to the polit-
ical side of the question.
I challenge 'Jarlath Gibbons" to
furnish proof that DR.. Slattery spoke
on the immOralities of nuns or that
the Guardians of Liberty have any
interest in that subject. I fear that
our friend has been paying too much
attention to the loose statements of
the Sunday Visitor" Again I say,
furnish the proofs.-R. E. A.
