j. s. DEMANDS
CAPT|VES RELEASE
Carranza Has Admitted Order.
ing Attack.
TO MEET FORCE WITH FORCE
Situation Is Now Exceedingly Acute.
War Department impatient Over
National Guards Delay
In Starting.

washington.-Full responsibility for
the attack on the American troopers by
Mexican forces at Carrlzal has been
assumed by the Carranza Government
Demand for the immediate release
Of the American troopers captured in
the engagement has been made by the
American Government, with further
demand for an early statement from
CarTanza as TO the course OF action he
has determined upon.
These are the outstanding features
Of communications exchanged between
the two governments and made public
Sunday afternoon by Secretary OF
State Lansing.
To Meet Force With Force.
The Mexican communication is con-
strued, Secretary Lansing states in the
note sent 20 Carranza, "as a formal
avowal Of deliberately hostile action
against the forces Of the United States
now in Mexico, and OF the purpose to
attack without provocatlon whenever
they move from their present posi-
ton" despite the friendly mission on
which they are engaged and which is
reafirmed In the American reioinder.
General Carranza is required to
place himself on record formally, and
the plain intimation lies behind the
restrained language Of Mr.. Lansing's
communication that force will be met
with force. Apparently. however, the
Washington Government Is determined
that the de facto Government shall not
evade responsibility before the world
II war is forced upon the United
States.
The note and the military situation
Of the United States were talked over
at the White House by the President
with Chairman Stone, OF the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee; Senator
Lodge, ranking Republican member,
and Chairman Flood, Of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs. Repre-
sentative Cooper, ranking minority
member Of the House committee, was
out Of the city.
After the conference, which lasted
more than an hour, Senator Stone said
the situation was exceedingly acute"
President Wilson had felt It necessary
to acquaint Congress with the state Of
affairs and the action taken, through
the Foreign Affairs Committee. It was
indicated that he might desire to ad-
dress a Joint session Of the House and
Senate in day or two, but would not
take this final step until the Mexican
Government had been given an oppor'
tunity to reply.

WILSON SENDS
NOTE TO CARRANZA
War May Break Out Any
Moment.
ALARMED FOR AMERICANS
State Department Sends Emphatic
Message, Urging Them To Get
Out or Country Quickly
As Possible.

Washington. - Upon General Car
ranza's reception of stern refusal to
heed his demands for recall Of Ameri-
can troops from Mexico hinges the
question OF a Mexican war, in the opin-
ion Of President Wilson's close ad-
visers. They are prepared for the pos
sibility of open hostilitles after the
note has reached Carranza's hands.
No indication has come that the
First Chiefs attitude Of implacable
hostility would be shaken by the reiter.
ated declaration of the latest communi-
cation that the United States has no
aggressive or warlike purpose toward
Mexico, but is firmly resolved to pro-
tect her borders and end brlgandage in
the border states.
Secretary Lansing had intended to
send the reply forward Monday, but at
the last moment minor changes and ad-
ditions to the 6.0O0-word document
necessitated delay. Although It had
been planned to send it by special mes
senger to Mexico City, the situation
has changed and 1t probably will be
handed to Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican
Ambassador-designate.
While the diplomatic steps were in
progress Monday. the nation was stir
ring throughout its width and breadth
with the movement Of National Guards.
men mobilizing to guard the border.
At least 100000 and possibly a few
larger number were preparing for
active service under President Will
sons call. For the present their mis-.
sion will be purely one Of defense; but
should war come, they will be ready
also for that They will not be as
signed for border duty until mustered
into the Federal service.
Even when mobilization is com.
pleted, only such units will be ordered
South as General Funston desires to
fill the gaps in his 1,S00-mile guard
line. The remainder will rest on their
arms at the State mobilization camps
for the present, awaiting the turn OF
events.
Mexico Aflsme Against United States.
Official reports from many quarters
show that flame Of popular feeling
against the United States is being
kindled throughout Mexico. Apparent.
ly II is being done with the sanction Of
General Carranza, for the acts in many
cases are those Of his authorized mill
tary or civil agents.
From Juarez 10 the west coast Of
Mexico posters have appeared calling
the people to arms and asserting that
the United States is preparing to hurl
its armies into Mexico. Chaotic condi.
tions prevail everywhere, II is said.
Clashes such as that between Mexican
troops and American bluejackets at
Mazatlan show that relations are
strained to the breaking point The
act Of subordinate commander any.
where may bring on fighting that will
result in war.
