 WASHINGTON. June PA per emptory demand that General Carrap- "a repudiate the attack on American troops at Carrizal and immediately release all captured American sol diers was understood tonight to be the next step in the Mexican crisis now contemplated by the Washington government
 Failure to comply with either de mand undoubtedly would result in the gravest consequences foretold in Secretary Lansing's recent note to the de facto government
 Formulation of Communication awaited final report from General Pershing on the CarrizaI incident. Pending its receipt. the war depart ment pressed urgently today it's ef- fort to reinforce strongly the Border patrol and prepare for any eventual ity.
 May Never Know Facts.
 Full information from American sources as tS what happened at Car rizal was still lacking and the long delay in finding additional survivors was taken as an ominous sign No smerie5n officer may have srrvi~ed.
 Trevino Reported War-Iike.
 Officials were plainly concerned with news dispatches from Chihuahua saying that General Jacinto Trevino. the Mexican commander. had threat ened to attack American columns re- ported advancing from the field base toward San Antonio and Ojo Calients if they did lot immediately retreat. Another battle at this time might precipitate general hostilities
 Rumors that the Carrsnzs govern ment was seeking mediation through other Latin-American nations came from many quarters. Private adviccs from Mexico City also continued to indicate that General Carranza still hoped to ind way to evade the storm his policy has aroused.
 Mediation Frowned on.
 No offers O. mediation reached the state department from any source Administration officials hold that they have nothing to mediate. lt is gen erally regarded as unlikely that Presi- dent Wilson would agree to any pro posal that meant tying the hands of General Funston in his efforts to pro tect the border from bandits. A media tion plan resting on a military status quo lon the border towns would pre- vent pursuit of raiders or any ex- petitions beyond the border to break up bandit organizations berore they became dangerous. Under these cir it was intimated on high authority that efforts toward presery- ation of peace concerning the initia- tio Icf which the minister of Salvador was authorized today to confer with his diplomatic colleagues could 20 no further than an attempt to persuade General Carranza ro change his at titude toward the determined te pro tect its territory.
 Ambassador Naon of Argentine who was leader in the movement to re- cognize the Carranza de facco govern ment during the Pan-American con ierences. is understood to have ad- Vised his government that the circunl- stances did not tend themselves to ! mediation proposal at this time.
 Senate Delays Hay Bill.
 The effort to speed up mobilization further through the Hay resoIution adopted yesterday in the House met with delay in the Senate. The mili- iary committee reported out the measure amended but still containing he draft and consolidation sections which are regarded as of vital i'm Dortance. The Senate postponed ac- ion until Monday.
 The war department awaits im- the passage of the measure 'hiefly because of it's consolidation It furnishes machinery us- Ter which it could gather up and end to the front promptly all guards nen who qualify for federal service.
 U. S. Takes War Order Guns.
 Another step toward preparedness or any emergency became known oday. Arrangements are being per ested for diverting large shipments T. machine guns and ammunition for certain of the al: jed powers to the American troops. They are already sneeded to equip ully tho guard regiments.
