the American nations would mean an
immediate division into groups, thus
weakening the entente, and leaving
the way open at the end of the Euro
pean war for possible influence If not
dom ination from abroad.
To preserve the strength and unity
Of the Americas, Latin-America as
well as administration men working
in the interests of Pan-Americanism
declare it is imperative first that
peace in the Americas be maintained
now, and second that way be found
to enforce continued peace in the
future This brings the suggestion of
a pan-American police force.
1t is pointed out that most of the
theories of the world peace advanced
to date have been based upon the
establishment OF an international po-
lice force. In the present situation
between the United States and
Mexico and the working out of the
general plan Of pan-Americanism
those behind the movemen. see the
possibility of a test of the theory
ternational peace.
Successful joint action by the ma
tions of the Americas in pacifying and
restoring stricken Mexico would have
great influence in Europe, It is be-
lieved, toward providing the practic-
ability of international police work.
Latin-American powers do not re-
gard Mexican responsibility for the
Carrizal clash as proved. In fact the
note Of Captain Morey rather suggests
to them possible provocative action
by the American troops. Their view
is that the stake for which the ma
tions of the two continents are play
ing in advancing pan-Americanism Is
too great to be jeopardized through
war, based on such disputed Incl

detachments of the armies Of the
United States, Argentine, Brazil, Chile
and possibly other Latin-American
republics to restore, not to crush
Mexico.
This is the suggestion brought to
the attention of the administration
and South American officials today
from certain quarters, which 1t Is be-
lieyed eventually will lead to serious
consideration Of the project. Latin
America cannot conceive of war be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
according to Ambassador Naon of Ar
gentine, who set this forth clearly
with a strong appeal for the preser-
walton of Pan-Americanism yesterday.
To those Interested in fur'hering the
Pan-American moveIn ent, the present
crisis between the United States and
Mexico Is regarded as vital test OF
the principles for which the powers
of the Americas have been striving.
Strife between nations of the Amer
icas would be regarded by them as
virtual civil war. They point out that
every treaty negotiated between Euro
pean powers has fallen apart. With
all the rest of the world divided, they
contend that the Americas must pre-
sent a united front; the nations of
the two continents must join interests

ing twenty-four negro troopers OF the
Tenth United States cavalry was ex-

today.
The release of the American soldiers
captured in the Carrizal fight was or
dered by First Chief Carranza, ac-
cording to information conveyed to
General George Bell. Ur.. at Fort Bliss
by General Francisco Gonzales, OF the
Juarez garrison.
Gonzales said he received a tele-
gram from General Jacinto Trevino,
commander in Chihuahua City that the
prisoners had been placed aboard a
special train which left the state cap
ital shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
Whether Scout Lem Spillsbury, the
white Mormon-American captured
with the negro troopers, was released
was not made known. The prisoners
will be turned over to General Bell.
Gonzales, in reply to a question
from Bell, said he had no 1nforna-

mines are said to have been planted
in the outskirts.
Gen. John J. Pershing has moved
his base from Colonia Dublan to a
point five miles from that Mormon
colony. This move, according to
Americans who arrived from the front
was made after the American COM
mander was informed an attack BY
the Carranzistas was imminent. The
expeditionary forces are today camped
upon a high elevation and are strong
ly entrenched.
The arrivals stated that the Fifth
United States cavalry, recently sta

eighty Mexicans and took them into
camp. Among them was recognized

protection If he would identify the
Columbus raiders in the group Fear

to be masked while he identified
