 "We formed for attack. his inten- tion being to move up to the line of about 120 MeXicans on the edge of the town. We formed troop on the left in line of skirmishers. one platoon of K troop on right of line and another K troop platoon on extreme right and a little to the rear.
 "When we were within 800 yards the Mexicans opened fire and strong one before we fired a shot; then we opened up. They did not run, but to make long account short. after about an hours fire. in which both troops had advanced, c troop to position of Mexican machine gun and K troop closing in slightly to the left, we were very busy on the right keeping off q flank attack. A group of Mexicans left town. went around our rear and our led horses left at a gallop.

line It may be four or five days how ever, before war department officials would feel safe in withdrawing regulars from the border patrol to form the cut ting edge of whatever force they may hurl to the support of General Pershing' S column, should aggressive action be or dered.
 It seems doubtful that formal diplo- matic rupture will be forced before ade- quate military precautions are possible, particularly as it has been indicated that quick, drastic action is President Will sons desire, should General Carranza force the use of the army against him.
 ARE SEEING LIGHT MT. Wilson's visitors sought light on these questions tonight. Specific figures were not available as to the garrisons at various border towns; the number of guardsmen who have responded to the Presidents call or the time that would be required to get the entire line to the border These details have been left to the war department and Secretary Baker was not present at the conference. The general situation was presented, however, and there is reason to suppose that the foreign affairs committeeman approved the Presidents course.
 One fact of the conference is signifi- cant.
 There was no discussion as to the pos sibility of mediation. It was not mem toned either by the President or his callers, Senator Stone said. This state l. fNn rSfn forr al |. fication to Esliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador designate, by his government today. that it approved the principle of mediation as proposed by several Latin American countries. MT. Arredondo eX- pected early authorization to begin con- versations with his Latin-American col leagues here, in an effort to divert the crisis to peaceful channels.
 NOTHING TO MEDIATE There was no indication tonight that any diplomat had attempted to sound Secretary Lansing in this regard. It is known, however, that he holds that the United States has nothing to mediate, since its only object is the pro- lection of it's own borders. He has for mally notified all Latin-American diplo- mats that the American government has no aggressive purpose toward Mexico, but | is resolved to free its citizens along the border of the danger of bandit raids. Ambassador Naon of Argentina, who saw MT. Lansing last week, is under stood to have gained the impression that offers of mediation would not be accept able to the United States in the present situation and to have so informed his government. The fact that the grave con- ference at the White House tonight did not find the subject interesting was taken to indicate that President Wilson and | the congressional leaders charged with consideration of foreign relations shared MT. LansingS views.

HOPE FOR RETURN

Army officers at headquarters here hope that the return of Captain Mercy will serve to provide the missing links in the story of the engagement at Carrizal and determine more completely the exact fate of each member of the little reconnoit- ering expedition.
 Further details of the facts which served to determine Captain Boyds line of action eagerly are awaited.
 How Captain Mercy managed to make his way to the American column, a dis tance of over 80 miles, is not known here, but it is inferred he was picked up by detachment of the rescuing force sent out by General Pershing.
 He was without food or water in a desert country and it is believed his suf- ferings must have been intense.
 Nothing to confirm rumors of a clash between Pershing's men and Carranza troops was received by General Fun ston tonight and all was reported quiet along the hOrdar
