By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, June 29-MexicaH
ambassador designate Arreddnondo
today received message from For.
eign Minister Aguilar confirming the
report tat the First Chief Carranxa
has issued orders to General Treyino
to release the American troopers cap
tured at Carrlzal aud since held prisl
oners at Chihuahua City.
Release OF the American troopera
has removed one dangerous clement
in the Mexican situation but It was
apparent today that 1t had onyl some
what relieved and had not removed
the grave menace to a continuance
Of friendly relations between the On.
tied States and the Mexican dc facto
government .'i
By freeing the prisoners General
Carranza met only demand made BY
President Wilson. The other. that Car
rama declare his future attitude to-
ward the American forces In Mexico
next communication arrives from
Mexico City. It wa sexpected today.
On the contingency that the Car
rama government may maintain its
policy Of attacking American forces
moving in any direction except north
activities looking toward speedy trans
portattonS Of National Qiardsmen Il
the border showed no relaxation to-
day. ~ e.
There were two ropcfuI factors in
the situation, however. First, what.
ever General Carranza's answer may
be 1t probably will require further
diplomatic conversation. and thus hos.
tilities may be averted at least tenn.
porarily. Second, many observers
were included to believe the yielding
attitude Of the Mexican government
in the case OF the prisoner indicates
a tendency which may be reflected
In further dealings.
High officials of the administration
let 1t be known that The. United States
would proceed with military epern-
tions to adequately safeguard citizens
and territory and would continue to
pursue bandits in Mexico whenever
there was hope Of oyertaking them
regardless Of any action Mexico mill.
tary commanders will take.
To. free itself from the menace Of
an army modified on ITS northern
frontier the Mexican government must
comply also with demands that It DO
lice adequately. its border states and
establish such firm military control
there that raiding into the United
States Is improbable and the assembly
OF any large troops ofbandits impossi.
BILE. n d
While such control lacking It Is
clearly indicaed that President Wilson
is determined by force II necessary to
employ the army either along the line
of in Mexico in such a way as to In
sure the safety of American lives and
property along tho border.

Maybe She Hid 1t
Possibly That Is Why You Could Not
Find Your Age-Herald This Morning

Your wife knew that The Age-Herald would carry
the full complete story Of the first day of the Alabama
Federation of Womens clubs in Birmingham. She
wanted to read ta Of it, and she made that she
would have the chance. Do you blame her?
Il will be the way Thursday morning and Fri
day morning-she will want to get the perspective of
the proceedings of the great convention.
1t is accident that the story of this convention of
the representative women of Alabama be told com
petey from day to day only in The Age-Herald 1t is
the with all important happenings, for the morn
ing paper ALONE yesterday, last night and
the early hours of today.
But, getting back to your wife. Don't be good for
just three days and let her have The Age-Herald only
while this Club Women's convention is She needs
it every day-and ought to have it, AS good wife she
wants the help of Mrs. Betty Lyle Wilson in improv
ing her housekeeping As she likes the
ciety items while the bloom is them; she naturally
hungers for Mrs. Reid homely advice and Dolly Dial
rympe's sparkling sallies; and live, intelligent
human being, she hates stale just you do Give
her square deal. t4
Let The Age Herald stay in your home. It pays its
way.
