Relief Promised on
Shortage Of Cars

The public service commission today
received a telegram from Secretary
McGinty, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, in which it was stated
that the national body was doing all
in its power orelieve the national ear
shortage. 1t appears that this state is
from 1000 to 1900 ears short today
but the shortage is caused by the great
preponderance of east bound freight.
Much of the freight is for export and
no demurrage is charged for leaving
the cars loaded where the freight is for
foreign shipment Also the east lacks
adequate warehouse facilities and the
cars are left standing on the side tracks
while the western shipper howls for
more cars.

FLEEING JUAREz IN
FEAR OF US. ATTACK
The People Are Going Into
the Interior.

Ell Paso, Tex, June 23.-Women and
children by the score are leaving their
homes in Juarez.
Evacuation of the town by civilians
was begun shortly after news of the
battle between Americans and MeXi
cans at Carrizal was received.
General Francisco Gonzales, com
mander of the Juarez garrison, who
was among the first to get details of
the fight, lost no time in advising MS
people to flee to the interior. Couriers,
acting on the orders of Gonzales, dash
ed through the town and spread an
alarm that the place was about to be
bombarded by soldiers from the Ameri.
can side.
The poems, their belongings packed
on rickety old wagons, on burros and
other conveyances, began a pourney to
the hills of the interior. Apparently
there was no thought of provisions
The Mexicans, in their haste to escape
what they believed was to be sudden
and sure attack, carried little food
1t is believed many will starve, for
there is little forage in the country in
which they are seeking refuge.
General George Bell, Jr., in com
mand of all the American troops in
Ell Paso and environs, has made no
move which resembled an attack on
the historic Mexican town. The roar
of cannon could only put a climax
however, on the excitement which pre-
,ails on both sides of the border.

Washington, June 23.-Secretary
Lansing sent a memorandum to the
diplomatic representatives OF South
and Central American nations review
ing the situation existing between the
United States and Mexico and an
nouncing that if hostilities should
come the purpose of the United States
would be to defend itself against fur
Their invasion and not intervene In
Mexican affairs. The memorandum
follows:
81 enclose for your information a
copy of this governments note OF
June 20 to the secretary of foreign
relations OF the de facto government
of Mexico on the subject of the pres
ence of American troops on Mexican
territory. This communication states
clearly the critical relations existing
between this government and the de
facto government of Mexico and the
causes which have led up to the pres,
ent situation.
SHOULD this situation eventuate into
hostilities, which this government
would deeply regret and will use every
honorable effort to avoid, I take this
opportunity to inform you that this
government would have for its object,
not intervention in Mexican afars,
with all regrettable consequences
which might result from such policy,
but the defense of American territory
from further invasion by bands OF
armed Mexicans, protection OF Amerl-
can citizens and property along the
boundary from outrages committed by
such bands, and the prevention OF Ia.
ture depredations by force OF arms
against the marauders infesting this
region and against government
which is encouraging and aiding them
in their activities.

ply a state of international war with

States other than TO end the conditions
which menace our national peace and
