BLAME FIXED
In MASSACRE
OF FU.S.FORCE
Responsibility Assumed by
Carranza; u. S. Awaits Re-
ply to Ultimatum Before
Taking Final Action.
By Carl D. Croat



WASHINGTON, June 26.--A double responsibility
for the Carza battle appeared partly established today
AS he lay supposedly dying on the Carriza battle
field Capt Morey, in message received by Gen Per-
shing Yesterday, wrote that Capt Boyd, commanding
the detachment under the impression that the Mexl
cans would run when the Americans fired
1--WE formed for attack" wrote Morey, in describing
the action.
On the other hand, publication of the American de-
mand for the release of IL prisoners from Chihuahua
showed that Carranza had issued the order to Gen Tre
vino not to permit the Americans TO move SOUTH east
or west.
This would place upon Carranza the responsibility
for the Mexcans firing and perhaps prove the necessity
for Boyds offensive.
Persons in touch with President Wilson'S views say
he will delay going before congress with message
until Caranza has had time TO answer this governments
utmatum.
Carranza must Immediately release American
TROOPERS taken prisoners in the battle at Carrza and
must give the United States government statement de-
claring the purposes Of Mexico.
This is the umaum elegraphed to Mexico City
ty Secretary of State Lansing.
The ultmatum went forward late yesterday, fol-
lowing day of conferences in Washington. This gov
ernment desires, before breaking relations going to
war with Mexico to have Cananza's intentions formal
w on record
The note disclosed for the first time that Secretary
ansing had received, the day previous, communca
tion from the Carranza government, assuming all re-
sponsbility for the attack on u s troopers at Carrza

wound and the priyatlons he has en-
dured.

battle.
