WAR IS UP 10
 CARRANZA
Reply to Mexican Note Contains Stern Refusal of Demands; Mobilization
 Begins; Situation More Acute.

Washington, June 19.-Upon Gen eral Carranza's reception of a stern refusal of his demands for recall of American troops from Mexico hinges the question of Mexican war.
 This is the belief of President Will sons close advisers. They will not be surprised if war follows after Carran- 70 receives the note which will be sent tomorrow.
 It is not expected that Carranza S hostile attitude will be changed by the statement in the note that the United States has no aggressive or warlike intention toward Mexico but is deter mined to protect her bordsrs from raids by bandits.
 The American reply contains about 5000 words. It had been planned to send it by special messenger, but be- cause of conditions in Mexico, it prob ably will be handed to Eliseo Arren- dondo, Mexican ambassador designate.
 100000 Men Preparing.
 Throughout the United States at least 100000, and possibly a much greater number of national guards men, were preparing to mobilize to guard the border today. They will not be assigned for border duty un- til mustered into the federal service.
 When they are mustered in, only such of the militia as General Funston desires to fill the gap in his 1,S00 mile line will be ordered south. The re- mainder will remain in their state mo- Utilization camp to be called if need ed.
 All Mexico Is AfIame.
 Official reports show that popular indignation against the United States is being aroused throughout Mexico. Apparently this is approved by Car ranza, for many of the agitators are his military or civil agents.
 From Juarez to the west coast of Mexico posters have appeared calling the peop,e to arms, declaring that the United States is preparing to throw it's armies into Mexico. Anarchy pre- vails practically everywhere. Clashes such as that between Mexican troops and American bluedackets at Mazatlan yesterday show the tenseness of the situation. The act of . subordinate

border would be treated as a hostile act, there was no clear indication as to CarranZa's s own attitude. His inten
 tions still are in doubt, although the fact that he is said to have personally directed Trevino's action leaves little ground for speculation on that score.

Acknowledgements of orders to as- semble the militia came from every governor today. All have carried out the order. Several requested that the state be allowed to send it's full con- tingent to the border instead of the regiments or brigades called for.

 May Force War.


 So far as officials !ere are aware, General Carranza is doing nothing to curb his soldiers or people. This causes many officials to believe that he is determined to force matters to an issue unless the American troops are withdrawn.
 Neither State Department officials nor members of the Diplomatic Corps here are certain as to CarranZa's mo- tives. Some believe he hopes to ride into popularity by a diplomatic tri- rmph over the United States, or hopas that war might make popular his tot tering government Once the war was begun and his armies defeated, these officials say Carranza probably would sue for peace, trusting to the magma ninlity of the Washington government to leave him in power.
 Fear for Americans.
 Iacl easing uneasiness over the plight of the 5000 American civilians nGa in Mexico was manifested in of fcial quarters today. Approximately l,200 are in Mexico City, despite re- peated warnings through American Consuls and other officials.
 Officials do not believe the Carransa government would sanction an attack upon American residents or that other foreigners would be involved How ever, there are terrible possibilities in the attempts to incite the ignorant peons against the United States. Mobs formed by half-starved natives who have been told that all of MeXico's troubles are due to the United States might take affairs beyond the control of the government.
 Ships to TampicO.
 Preparations have been made to protect the big American colony near Tampico. In numbers it exceeds that in the capital but it is near the sea, and gunboats and light craft have been sent to offer aid.
 In Mexico City, however, the prob lem is more difficult One official to- day said that an eXpeditionary force might be rushed to the relief of Amer jeans there. He expectel that it would mean moving an army of 50,- 900 or perhaps 100000 men and would take at least two months to get them there.
