ACTION Of AMERICAN TROOPS At
CARRZAL POSSIBLY PROVOCATIVE

The bulk of the 100000 militia
men ordered out will probably be
either on the line or en- route before
the end OF the week. Everything
possible is being done to hasten the
departure Of the entire force.
These preparations. coupled with
war department activity. reflected the
view Of army men that trouble is in
the offing. though they admitted di-
plomacy may still have a chance.
The campaign contemplates TAX
ing sufficient time to avoid unneces-
sary casualties through lack Of pre-
paration. It proposes sweeping into
Mexico from strategic border points,
locking in the northern Mexican
forces. seizing Torreon and Saltillo
to control railroads, and pushing
through to Mexico City.
AS matters now stand. this will re-
Quire stripping the border patrol OF
regulars. At some points this must
be delayed, pending the arrival Of
militia.
In order that there may be plenty
Of men, a call for volunteers will
probably be one of the presidents
first moves.

should be admitted to hunt them
down. though barred from the towns.
The proposal further provided that

Breaking out with terrific smash
against the Austrian front, the Ital-

terday on q front Of more than Is

tack against German trenches from
the La Bassee canal southwark to the

the violence OF this attack.
Thus far no word has reached Lon

British infantry attack. Dispatches
from Berlin today report that the
Russians. instead Of being disheart-
ened by their temporary check In vol-

On the contrary. developments so

cessary to appear before congress be-
fore the week ends. Only complete
right-about-face by Carranza can save
the situation.
The report of Captain Morey, as he
lay supposedly dying on the Carrizal
desert, indicated to the officials that
the action Of the United States forces
before Carrizal might have been pro-
vocative.
