VITAL POINT
STILL REMAINS
RELEASE OF TROOPS
RELIEVES TENSION
But Actual War Hinges On Re
ply Of Carranza To Last
American Note

WASHINGTON. June 29-The Wash.
ington government still awaited to-
night full compliance with its demands
by the de facto authorities of Mexico
Release today by General Carranza' 8
order OF the American prisoners taken
Al Carrizal has averted the probability
OF immediate retaliatory steps II Is
possible that II has also a price TO pave
me way toward an attempt az peace
tul settlement OF the whole border sit
uation. High officials made IL very
clear that the vital point at issue-the
iuture attitude OF Mexican forces to-
ward American troops in northern
Mexico, engaged in guarding the Dor
der and pursuing bandits who raidcd
American territory-remains to be set
tied
The state department had no advices
tonight as TO when a diplomatic reply
10 ITS demands might be expected. The
CarranZa government has adopted the
unusual course OF complying in fact
with an urgent demand from foreign
government before IL even acknowl-
edged receipt Of the note or made any
statement OF what it proposed TO do.
VIII Hurry Troops
Pending a satisfactory answer 10 its
second and more far reaching require
ment. the United states will continue
70 hurry troops TO the border. and TO
take every step necessary in prepsra-
ton Tor the carrying out OF its pur-
poses by force of arms
limitations have come. Il Is under
stood that Carranza intends 10 back
up the orders issued to General Tre-
VINO directing that American troops
be attacked II they moved in any d.
rectlon in Mexico except toward the
border. Officials are fully prepared
for reply OF that character. Appar-
emily Secretary Lansing is determined
10 get a clear statement OF intentions
on which action by the United
States can be founded Carranza Of
hcials profess an earnest desire 10
avoid clash and "A further struggle
70 fiN automatically responsibility for
hostihties that may come is fore
shRdowed
Mr.. Lansing made II clear today TO
lgnacio Calderon. Minister from Bo-
livia. that pending formal reply from
the CarranZa government TO mis- last
note, no offer of mediation would be
acceptable 10 the United States.
To Maintain Right.
The right to pursue raiders into
Mexico will be maintained and eNer~
cised without interruption and N the
border can b. properly protected only
by temporary military occupation of
Mexican territory adjacent to the line
that will be the course pursued
II Is understood that the Washing
ton government would not under any
circumstances consent 10 a military
status quota during discussion Of
possible cooperative measures Of
ficers Indicated they had little hope
thaf an agreement for cooperation
could be arranged. The United Stats-
already has declared officially its o,-
lief that General Carranza d. unabi,
10 guarantee adequate precautions on
the Mexican side Of tho line. 10 also
has informed him ~ has reason TO be-
lieve that tho bandits have been en-
couraged and aided by his forces iu

Side b. side with the increase in the
