 guard organizations throughout the country were straining every nerve to- night to prepare for active service on the Mexican border New orders flashed over the wires by Secretary Baker bore q call for haste
 Red tape was cast aside and author ization given under which the state soldiers will be rushed to reinforce the border guards at the earliest possible moment. The entire army of 100000 men summoned by President Wilson's call was placed directly at General Funston's disposal. Congress also took vigorous and far reaching action. A resolution adopted in the house by a vote of 3S2 to ?, declares that an emer- Eency calling for the use of troops iH addition to regulars now exists and authorizes the president to draft inn mediately into the service of the United States all members of the national guard who subscribe to the new oath for that service In effect the measure gives legislative approval of President Wilson's call on state soldiers and pro- Vides for their use in or out of the United States. It also furnishes new machinery with which to hasten the strengthening of the border guard. The senate probably will pass the resolu- tion tomorrow
 Diplomatic aspects of the crisis vir- tually were unchanged President Will son could reach no final decision as to action resulting from the attack by Mexican troops upon American caval-
 
 bluejackets at Mazatlan. Only a pre- lminary and inclusive report on the Carrizal clash acme from General Per shing during the day It was based on the statement of stragglers and no word had come from the officers of the shattered detachment.

 As the situation stands at the state department, only preliminary reports on each incident have been received from war and navy officials transmit ted as matters of information. When the record is complete in each depart
 
 ted to Secretary Lansing and the ac- ton of the United States then will be determined
 Evidence now in hand is believed to be sufficient to show that Carranza sympathizers or officials probably win he held responsible in both cases In dications are that the Washington gov ernment will stand the reports of it's own officers and refute the asser- lions of the Mexican government, of ficially presented here that Americans were the aggressors, or that irrespon- Sible individuals precipitated the clash. It was thought probable tonight that the president would demand that Car ranza repudiate the acts and punish those responsible.
 Mir. Wilson and his cabinet discussed the Mexican crisis fully today but pend ing the receipt of final reports of the occurrences at Carrizal and Mazatan, no course could be mapped out. The only announcement made after the meeting was that the policy of the gov ernment was unchanged.
 Further reports from General Per- ahing were expected hourly. Officers here believe that cavalry reinforce ments sent out as soon as the rumor of the fight was heard. must have joined the survivors by this time and should reach some point along the American lines ir Mexico soon. Their march will necessarily be slow as they are undoubtedly encountered by their wounded.
 New indications came today that Carranza and his advisors, impressed by the arguments of European repre- sentatives or the ominous significance Of the preparations for war ordered by President Wilson, were searching for a peaceful solution of the dispute they have raised.
