troops in Northern chihuahua are be-
ing concentrated hastily and in force
along the line Of the Mexican railway
between Juarez and Chihuahua City,
according to private dispatches.
These messages said that eight
troop trains packed with soldiers to
be distributed at points between Villa
Ahumada and Laguna had left the

movement that in event of hostilities
with the United States the Mexican
plan contemplates the sparing of no
effort to hold the railroad, the main
artery OF transportation from the Dor
der to the interior.
While the Mexican troops are being
aligned along the railroad other re-

Contains Pointed Rebuke
The Mexican communication is con-
Strued, Secretary Lansing states, AS
a formal avowal of deliberately hostile
action against the forces OF the Unit
ed States now in Mexico, and OF the
purpose to attack without p~rovOcation
whenever they move from their pres
ent position despite the friendly mis-
sion on which they are engaged, and
which is reafirmed in the American
rejoinder.
General Carranza is requested to
place himself on record, formally, and
the plain intimaticn lies behind the
restrained language OF Mr.. Lansing's
communication that force VIII be met
with force.
Apparently, however, the Washing,
ton government is determined that
the de facto government shall not
evade responsibility before the world
