Washington.--A demand for The

Mexico City Sunday by Secretary
Lansing. Failure TO comply with the
demand undoubtedly would result in
the gravest consequences.
The note discloses that the state de.

stating that the CarriEal fight was the
direct result OF orders to attack Amer
lean soldiers moving otherwise than
toward the border. personally issued
by General CarranEa to General Tire

The Mexican communication is con

a formal ayowal Of deliberately hos

United States now in Mexico, and OF
the purpose to attack without provo
cation whenever they move from their
present position" despite the friendly
mission on which they are engaged
and which is reaffirmed in the Amer
lean rejoinder.
General Carranza is required tc
place himself on record formally, and
the plain intimation lies behind the
restrained language OF Mr.. Lansing's
communication that force will be mel

Washington government is determined
that the de facto government shall
