Charges Carranza With Indif-
ference To Atrocities
Of Raiders
HE SHIELDED OUTLAWS
INSTEAD OF FURNISHING
And Ends by Telling Him He
Will Be ThreShed If He
Misbehaves

Washington, June 20.-The American
government today threatened General
Carranaa with ''the gravest cOnse-
quences" if he attacks American
troops now in Mexico.
This threat was contained in long
note replying to his last withdrawal
demand Full of short arm diplomatic
iabs, the note positively declined to
take the American forces out of Mex
leo. 1t excoriNted Carranza for his
failure to cooperate and resented his
bruskness and his intimations of bad
faith.
'The de faeto government is pleased
to ignore this obligation Ito protect
American rights and chase bandits), "
said the note, "and to believe that, in
case of refusal to retire the troops,
there is no further recourse than to
defend its territory by an appeal to
arms, for the government of the United
States would surely be lacking in sin
cerity and friendship if it did not
frankly impress upon the de facto
government that the execution of his
threat viii lead to the gravest conse'
quences."
Bluntly the note told Carranza that
this government "cannot recede from
its settled determination to maintain
its national rights" and to prevent
further raids across the boundry.
The high lights of the note were:
Resentment of Carranza s discourte'
GUS tone and temper in his last note.
Charges that bandits have gone un.
hampered and unpunished in attacking
Americans.
Recitation of scores Of instances of
banditry.
Charges that the Carranza regime
had been Indifferent to atrocities and
even encouraged and aided some of the
leaders Of these.
Charges that Carranza did not take
proper steps to apprehend Villa and
others.

(Unlted Press staff correspondent
Petrograd, June 20.-Eighty thou
sand Austrian troops, retreating from
the region of Czernowitz, have been
cOrnered in Bukowina by the lightning
drive Of the Russian left wing. The
Russians are pressing the pursuit with
the utmost vigor. A large part Of the
Austrian force in all probability will be
cut off and surrounded. The others
face the alternative of TetHeating
through the Carpathian passes, abandon
ing their guns or crossing into Ru-
mania.
General Pflanzer, commanding the
Austrians around Czernowitz, is retreat
ing southwark in the direction of the
Sereth river with his beaten forces.
How many Austrians escaped westward
planning later to join Bothmer s army,
is not yet known.
Practically the whole Russian front
north of Czernowitz is steadily press
ing in upon Lemberg. 1t ia reported
that measures have already been taken
for the evacuation of the Gahcian, cap
ital. Russian troops pressing down up
on Brody in the advance upon Lemberg
may already have crossed the Gaheian
frontier.
II is admitted here that the Aus
trian defense is becoming more stub
born. East Of Brody and on a wide
front directly east of Lemberg the Aus
trians are counter attacking with the
greatest spirit, using flame electors
and large quantities of shells. Both
on the Brody front and further south,
Austrian prisoners have been captured
who admit they were rushed into action
a few days ago from the Italian front.

arrested the Austrian drive southwark

scheme of the Austrb- German general

been learned from German sources that

is true, the Russians strategists out

the Mexican republic has been torn
with civil strife, the lives Of Ameri.

destroyed and rendered non.productive;
bandits have been permitted to roam

izatiOn is now 1879. The addition of
thirty will m Ike more than the number
desired. However, there are many in
the company who have applied for
transfers to some other arm of the
service.
Several physicians are Included in
the personnel and these will probably
be transferred TO the hospital corps in
the event of active service. 1t is to
take care of deficiencies made in this
manner that more men are needed.
The recruiting office will be open
from seven in the morning until ten
o'clock every night. In a city OF
$4,000, Lieutenant Allen feels, there
ought to be no difficulty in getting the
thirty men desired. Appreciation of
the spirit which prompted those who
enlisted since Sunday, when the call
| came, is voiced by Allen.
There yet remains something to do
in this line, he adds. To those who en-.
list will be given an opportunity to see
considerable Of life. The experience
received during even short term of
service with the troops cannot be
valued too highly. Prospective re-
cruits, declares the lieutenant, should
bear in mind the fact that they will be
under no expense whatever in Joining
the colors. Clothing, food, shelter and
medical attendance are furnished free
and to this is added n liberal salary.
Everything considered, man in the
army receives a salary as great as the
average man working for a weekly
! wage in civil life.
| As soon as three or four men are
signed up they will sent to Clackamas
where they win receive equipment and
take instruction
Since yesterday the following men
have enlisted: George p. Downing,
Charles c. Munson, John DuRette,
George Lee Tuel, John A. Hess, Harry
Edwin Fraser, Elmer Dean Cook, Mar.
