APPEARS TO BE YIELDING.
Carranza's Reply Said to Be Concilia-
tory.

Washington, July 4.-Gen. Car
ranza's reply to the two sharp notes
from the Washington government
was at the Mexican embassy tonight
and verbal synopsis, made public
with the arrival of Eliseo Arredondo,
Carranza's ambassador designate,
indicated that it was of an unexpect-
edly conciliatory character. \
The formal communication arrived
by telegraph early in the day and
only the fact that the fourth Of July
was being celebrated by all govern
ment departments, prevented it's i'm
mediate delivery. 1t will be present
ed at the State department tomor-
row.
Mr.. Arredondo himself spent the
day in the country and on his return
declined to discuss his governments
attitude as now officially stated.
Lacking the text of the note, it
was impossible tonight to say wheth-
er it would prove satisfactory to
President Wilson. Since the release
of the American troopers taken at
Carrizal, the question at issue be-
tween the Washington government
and Gen. Carranza has been narrow
ed to Mr.. Wilson's desire for a form
al declaration of intention toward
the American expeditionary forces in
Mexico. The embassy synopsis of the
new note indicates that a specific
statement still is lacking.

CROSS THE BORDER.
Two Troops of Eighth Cavalry, Head
ed by Capt. Eltinge, Enter Mexico.

San Antonio, Texas, July 2.-Capt
Leroy Eltinge, with two troops of the
9Th cavalry, searched the country on
the Mexican side of the river oppO-
site Fort Hancock, Texas, today fol
bandits who yesterday fled into Mex
leo after raiding the American side
Late today no information concern
ing his movements had been received
at Gen. Funston's headquarters. II
was expected that unless he discover
ed a t'hot trail'' he would return to
the American side, perhaps tonight.
Capt. Eltinge crossed the Rio
Grande yesterday afternoon at $3.50
picked up the trail and followed it
short distance, but found that it led
back towaSd the river at point low
er down. He was unable to discover
an indication by that time as to the
location of the bandits, and recrossed
to the American side. Early today
he led his two troops back into Mex
leo, but reported that unless he found
some tangible evidence on which to
base the pursuit he would return late
today or tonight.
Slight Chances.
Gen. Bell, in his report of the Incl
dent to Gen. Funston, gave the i'm
preston that the chances for locat-
ing the raiders were slight. The best
information obtainable. indicated
there were only eight Mexicans in the
raiding party, which drove off a few
head of horses and cattle yesterday
from a ranch fifty-four miles south
east of Ell .Paso. .
Lieut.. Hardy, with part of one
troop, followed their trail to a point
where it ended at the river, and Capt.
Eltinge several hours later arrived
with two troops from Ell Paso to con-
tinue the pursuit if he considered it
advisable. He was instructed not to
precipitate a clash with Mexican
troops if it could be avoided.
Capt. Eltinge's report made no
mention of encountering any. Mexi-
can troops.
All reports received at Gen. Fun
ston's headquarters indicated moth
ing more exciting along the inter
national line than an exchange OF
shots between sentries at Nogales.
To Avoid Clashes.
All officers commanding troops
along the LOO miles OF border have
been cautioned to avoid clashes with
the Mexican troops that face them,
but the recurrence of such incidents
as that at Nogales has caused staff
officers to fear that an incident may
occur at any time that may serve as
the ebasis for further completing the
situation.

WAR LAST RESORT.
United States Not Servant of Proper
ty Holders in Mexico.


Wilson made it plain in his speech at
the New York Press club banquet to-
night that he will not countenance a
war with Mexico until there is no
other alternative for settling the bor-
der troubles.
He declared again that he was
ready to sacrifice his own political
fortunes in order to carry out. his
convictions as to what would be the
just course to pursue in the situa-
ton.
The presidents audience, compos-
ed of newspaper men, State and mu-
nicipal political leaders and others
prominent in public life, signifed
their endorsement of his position by
repeated outbursts of applause. When
he asked if the glory of America
would be enhanced by a war of con-
quest in Mexico, shouts Of mo- came
from all parts of the banquet hall.
A similar response was made to his
query whether it is Americas duty
to "carry self-defence to the point OF
dictation into the affairs of another
people"
The president dwelt also on his et-
forts to serve the whole people, thou
sands of whom, he said, are appeal
ing to him to maintain peace as long
as possible.
Servant of the People.
81 have constantly to remind my
SELF" he said, THAT 1 am not the
servant of those who wish to enhance
the value of their Mexican invest
ments, but that I am the servant OF
the rank and file of the people of
the United States.''
cambridge Colby, who placed
Theodore Roosevelt in nomination
for the presidency at the Progressive
convention in Chicago, paid Presi-
dent Wilson high tribute in an ad-
dress, but did, not declare unquall-
fiedly that he would support him in
the coming campaign, as it was re-
ported he would do.
Sticking by the Ship.
81 am a Progressive" he said. Il
was one of the party's organizers. I
shall stick by the ship until it is rec
ognized by passengers, crew and Of
ficers alike that it must be abandon
ed. 1 will say this, however, speak
ing for the rank and file, that the
friends of Woodrow Wilson in the
party are legion. The stalking horse
of the national committee may vote
down the resolution to leave the vote
of Progressives to their own con-
sciences, but I think the actions of
Progressives are to be determined
and dictated by their individual judg-
ment and nothing else.'
President Wilson arose from his
seat and shook hands with Mr.. COL
by as he finished speaking. Later
the president paid tribute to Mr.. COL
by's generosity.
Mayor John P. Mitchell, Ralph Pu-
liter and Ivin S. Cobb also. spoke.
President Wilson did not begin to
speak until almost II o'clock.

BRITISH NAVAL EXPERTS DO

THUS EQtIpPED.
RANCE TOO GREAT
Declare That on Account OF HAY

By Wilbur =. Forrest.
United Press Staff Correspondent.

LONDON. Feb. THE idea that
the German fleet will come dashing
out of the kiel canal some day
equipped with l7-ineh guns and blow
English dreadnoughts to pieces is
ridiculed by British naval experts.
The story about Germany's IL
inch guns was first printed in Lon
don newspapers. The inactivities OF
the German navy, II was explained.
was due to the fact that new guns
capable OF hurling more than ton
of explosives a distance of twenty
miles were being placed aboard the
German warships. Official utter
ances on the subject were tabooed
In London, Nevertheless 1t was
believed that 15-inch guns SINH
lar to those carried by the Queen
Elizabeth were being placed aboard
the ships In the North sea where the
fleets of the two countries might
clash. The angle OF l7-inch shells
must exceed fifty degrees. With a
range of twenty miles. at this dis
tance. 1t was agreed. 1t would be
necessary for the German navy TO
employ smaller vessels to do the
business of 'spotting" the hits on
enemy vessels. Great Britain's swift
cruisers and destroyers could drive
in these German spoilers. fore
ing the 17-inch dreadnoughts to
come In range OF the smaller but
more accurate guns of the British
fleet. Then we could blow the
German ships out of the water,
said one critic.
The hazy atmosphere in the North
sea, IL was further stated, would
make it almost impossible to estab-
lish an accurate range of shells for
distance OF twenty miles at ships
moving at speed of more than
twenty knots an hour.

The Roumanian government. II IS
