# Carrazil Battle Was Started

Must Follow.

tBy Carl d. Groat, United Press Staf
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 22.-General
INVASION of Mexico appeared to mover
Just ahead today.
The Carrazil clash between the
Mexican government and American
troops apparently resulting in the
American expeditions heaviest losses
to date, gave ground foc this view
officially.
General Pershing's report remained
as the confirming factor. It was due
this forenoon, barring unforeseen trans
mission difficulties.
There appeared little doubt that 1t
would aggravate rather than relieve
the situation. reported through Mexl-
can sources as involving the loss OF
forty American lives, with other
casualties,
General Funston will Immediately
strengthen Pershing's column, 1T Is
expected, and President Wilson may
take the case before congress.
There he would ask for an appropria-
uon and approval of Il drive into
Mexico in keeping with his threat to
Carranza to visit upon him "the
gravest consequences" il the defacto
forces clashed with Americans.
The last thought that Carranza Is

long ago was dispersed and the only
reason for keeping troops in Mexico
is thus removed. The American
troops would be much better employed
in patrolling the border to keep out
raiding bandits, rather than concen-
trated in a small district as at pres
ent. leaving large areas unguarded.
I'VE warmly challenge the state
ment that constitutionalist troops
have not co-operated with the Ameri-
cans to prevent border raids At the
beginning of the trouble and on the
occasion Of the first advance of the
American troops in Mexico, General
Obregon, minister Of war, asked in
formation concerning the plans of the
American expedition in order that he
might cooperate with General Perish
ing's forces. This information was
refused, leaving him unable to take
such measures except at a great dis
advantage.
We indignantly deny that Carran-
zista soldiers have taken part in
raids, except on their own initiative.
Furthermore no soldiers now belong
ing to the constitutionalist army par
ticipated in any raids.
The fact that one raider was found
with an old constitutionalist commits
sion in his pocket is not good proof of
President Wilson's contention. It is
not Just to blame the Mexican authori-

ties for such sporadic acts. The
statement that some Of the raiders
wore constitutionalist uniforms is
ridiculous since there is no distinctive
garb for any Mexican forces. The
troops generally wear the same kind
OF khaki clothes worn by workingmen
all over the country
While full information Is not at
hand. reports Of anti-American dem
onstratfons in other parts OF Mexico
probably have been greatly exagger-
ated by the American press There
have been two days OF patriotic mani
festations in Mexico City without the
molestation Of any person or build
ing"
1t was expected that a special train
carrying Americans to Vera Cruz
would depart sometime today. 1t was
learned, however, that many Ameri-
cans are enroute here from other
places and cannot arrive in time For
that reason the train probably will be
held another day. Officials declare
positively that there is no reason for
the departure of the Americans. They
have promised that they will be pro-
tected under the same guarantees
given Americans and all foreigners of
Tabasco.
There were no further manifesto
tions in the capital last night The
city Is calm.

Think Bandit Villa is Dead
And His Gang Broken Up

MEXICO CITY, June 22.-Mexican
officials today generally resented the
tone of the American note and pointed
out what they declared to be falacies
in President Wilson's argument.
The text of the note had not been
made public at an early hour today.
General Carranza and his cabinet
studied the communication in a
lengthy special session yesterday,
denying themselves to all visitors.
No formal statement was given
out, but the United Press today OBJ
tanned the views of number Of Mexi-
can officials who know the contents
Of the note Summed up, the Mexican
attitude is as follows:
Regarding President Wilson's re-
fusal to withdraw troops-under the
terms of the order issued-sending
them into Mexico, their presence on
Mexican soil is no longer justified or
logical. The order from the head of
the American army distinctly stated
that the expeditions sole object was
the arrest or death Of Villa and the
dispersal of his band. That Villa is
dead is generally believed here since
three months have elapsed since any
one has seen him, and IL alive it is not
believed possible by men who know
him. that he would be able to hold
himself in check. His small force

Eight Thousand Men From
Three States Will be Sent
South at Once.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Secre
tary of War Baker announced today
that the department is endeavorins
to get the California, Missouri and
Kansas militia to the border immed
lately.
There are about 5000 men in the
three bodies.
The war department. would give no
estimate early today as to exactly
how soon these organizations would
entrain for the border.
They will not start it is said, how
ever, until their equipment is com
plete When they are ready it will
be only a matter Of hours until they
can reach their broder stations, rail-
road schedules having been prepared
with rolling stock in readiness.
A war department official said the
actual order to the three states mill
tia has not been given, but that these
forces would be sent to the border
just as soon as they could be put on
trains with their equipment He al
ded: Il expect we will have to get
pretty much all the militia ordered
out collected down there pretty soon.''
AS to which would go first, and
where they will be assigned, the sec
retary said he could not state; they
will be dispatched as quickly and in
the order in which they made them
selves ready, he said.

division of the war department, is

ganization Of the different units and

SEEMS THE NEXT STEP

those who would not Join it.
This convinced the administration
that 1t now can hope for nothing from
the first chief and his crumbling
power.
A few high officials counselled calm
until Pershing reported, pointing out
that information now before this gov
ernment is from Mexican sources.
Others were for wasting no time in
establishing an actual state Of war.
No one professed seriously that
trouble can now be avoided.
Dispatch of the California, Missouri
and Kansas militia Immediately to
the border was directed. This, it was
expected, would be followed by orders
to incompletely modified militia to
board fast troop trains for the boun-
dairy.
1t seemed likely that all red tape
would be cut.
Before General Funston reported
the clash, last night officials said It
doubtless would take two or three
weeks to complete mobilization, in
spection, vaccination, physical tests
and administration of the federal ser
vice.
But if need arises, we can send
these forces out much faster, witnou.

President Wilson heard the news
gravely at midnight vigil in the
white house. He remained on duty
until border reports indicated Persh-
ing could not report during the night.
He left instructions, however, that
any definite information be flashed
him Immediately. Secretary BAKER
and staff were in touch last night with

partment today as follows:
"These headquarters Of the first
chief, convinced that the majority Of
the inhabitants of the republic desire
to enlist in the army so as to defend
themselves with arms in hand in case
of international war-(words omit
ted)-of our territory and knowing
that in the border states and especial
ly along the border there are various
bands ready to fight the American
army in case of rupture Of relations
and in order to avoid having armed

greater trouble than that which al
ready exists on account of the delicate
international situation, please in

this means, all people in the jurisdic-
ton of the army northwest, that all
citizens who desire to enlist in the
army must present themselves to cor

orders and be incorporated in said
army, advising them that those who
do not comply with this order be or

The mesa overlooking Juarez bristled
with a battery of the big 4.7 inch
American guns.
From reports received by state de-
partment agents. mining companies
and the Carranzista odicials here, 1t
appears tnat five troops of the Tenth
cavalry were on scout duty near
Carrizal when they were discovered
by Carranzista outposts. These Mex
ican troopers hastened back to the
hamlet. General Felix Gomez, COM
manding the defacto troops in the
town, ordered machine guns secreted
on the roofs of houses and hid mis-
men behind adobe walls. A small
company of Mexicans was sent to
the western part of the town to wave
q flag OF truce. The unsuspecting
American cavalrymen rode into the
ambush. When the Mexicans opened
fire from their machine guns. the
negro troopers fought back like
fiends. General Gomez was killed,
his body literally riddled with Amer
lcan bullets.
Forced TO Retire.
The Americans charged the unseen
Mexicans in an effort to recapture
several of their number, and inflicted
heavy casualties, the unofficial re-
ports stated. They were finally
forced to retire in the face of vastly
superior Mexican forces
The American column was reported
to number five hundred, while Gomez
is believed to have had several thous.
and men under his command.
The 1ighting continued two hours,
the Carranzistas being meanwhile
reinforced from the large Carranzista
forces in Villa Ahumada.
Messages received here early to-
day by mining companies said the
Mexican losses were double those
sustained by the American forces.

complete ignorance Of the extent Of

which followed ambushing of the
negro troopers of five companies OF

the troopers were lured into the
hamlet of Carrizal under a flag OF

claim that there were forty Ameri-
cans killed and seventeen captured.
Realizing that war may come as a
result of the treacherous killing of
the Americans by the Carranzista
forces, General Francisco Gonzales,

Increasingly Bad.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-In dis
patches sent to the war department
by General Funston early today, the
situation in northern Mexico was de-
scribed as increasingly bad. Orders
issued by Carranza for arming of citi-
zens is adding material to the anti
American feeling.
1t is reported that Carranza has in
structed inhabitants of the republic
to defend themselves in case Of in
ternational war" This situation is
described by General Pershing in a
dispatch to Funston from Dublan,
Mexico, Tuesday and forwarded to
the state department last night.
Pershing's dispatch to Funston says:

tial sources, June 10, sent out to all
