 The note refers to the repeated declarations of the United State: ahat il does not want war with Mexi- GO. and says that the withdrawal al the American troops will be the best proof that such an attitude really sexists
 Carranza reiterates in his latesl mote that his troops are fully able t0 control the situation. and declares that the presence of the American soidjers on Mexican soil is having q very bad political effect.
 it is not regarded by Washington officials as an ultimatum, it was stat ed in official circles this afternoon.
 The continued presence of the punitive expedition the note says. |, having a very contrary effect, anc ttle message goes on to say that the 4arran2a troops now are able Co con tT0l outiawry in northern Mexico and That cooperation ny the Ameri- gan troops can be had with tn, Americans on the American side oi tho border.
 Carranza takes the position in hi. note that had the American troops now in Mexico been in the United States instead of in Mexico the Glen Springs and Boquillas raids could have been prevented.

Rusy Day in Justice smiths Court.

Busy Day in Justice Smiths Court.
 s. H. Smith had busy day in jus : tice court Wednesday, starting in with a suit brought by A. C. Bratcher againstt II E Gregory and the Lauck Lumber Company as garnishee. The suit was for the collection of an ac- count, and had been originally tried in Montgomery county, where jude- ment was returned against defend- ant Gregory. The judgment was then transferred to the court of H. S. Hoover in Mountain township and from there to the court of $. H. smith where the Lauck Lumber Company was made a party defend ant as garnishee Squire Smith rendered Judgment against the garn- Ishee for the amount of the debt and the costs.
 Another case tried that day was that of R. NJ. Jones vs. Eugene Ab- ernathy and c. Y. Hamrick. which was brought to enforce payment of the balance due on a horse sold by the plaintiff to defendants The payment was resisted on the ground that the horse had been represented to have good eyes. whereas 1t de- INeloped that he was afflicted with granulation. and the defendants had sought to return the horse to the seller. The ease was taken under advisement by the Justice.
 Judge J. l. Alley represented the | iplaintifI in both eases, and Attorneys tMcphetrige and Martin appeared for the defendant Gregory and for Messrs. Abernathy and Hamrick ln the second suit

TROOPS ARE NOT
 TOBE WITHDRAWN
Belief Is That Carranya'S Note Was Inspired hy Military Officials Re gardIess of Dipl0macy-Natch
 the Carranza Troops.

Washington. June i--It was stated auth6fitatively here this morning' that the American troops will not be withdrawn form Mexico until such time as the Carranza authorities demonstrate their ability to control the situation sufficiently to protect the American border
 President Wilson was represent ed today as ready to withdraw the troops when it was possible to do so. but he is determined to wait until the Carranza forces prove they are fully able to cope with the bandit situation.
 Steps will at once be taken by the war department to obtain more deti- nite information of the disposition .0f the Carranza troops in Chihuahua
 lt was said here that Carranza 5 note of yesterday was prompted by the action of the military authori- ties and was without regard to the diplomatic phases of the situation
 lt is considered here that only a force disposed as are General Per- shing's troops, could prevent attacks on wide sections of the border con- trolled by his position in Mexico. The large border garrison or patrol, it was pointed out might repel an attack but it couldn't make one im- possible.
 The state department officials did not believe that the note produced an urgent situation in the Mexican affairs, and it is altogether probable that a reply will not be sent for q week or ten days yet.
