carried out. He added that he now knew of nothing to prevent the sending of new expeditions into Mexico after raiders, provided hot trail was fol- lowed. Otherwise he declined to dis cuss statements in the Carranza note, particularly those portions which con- tend that General Scott promised that no more troops would be sent into Mexico.
 Mr, Baker holds that any discussion of the statements of the note is a state department matter. He has already placed in the hands of Secretary Lan- sing a complete written report of the conference prepared by General Scott. No UnfriendIy Attitude Toward Ameri-
 cana.
 Army officers who studied the Mexi- can troop dispositions as reported by General Funston said they appeared to be in accord with a plan to police the country and did not indicate the prep aration of an unfriendly demonstration toward General Pershing's forces. No large force is being held in one place, and the reports added that no en- trenchments or entanglements had been constructed.
 On the other hand, reliable informa- tfon has been received in official quar- { ters that all of CarranzaS' advisors stand solidly behind him in the ex- pressions of his note. Nothing had come to indicate the temper Of the people, either in Mexico City or else where in the country, following its publication.
 zapata Now Stirring in South.
 News of renewed activity by zapata followers in southern Mexico, officially reported today to the state depart | ment, may change the military dispo- | sitions of the Mexican forces in Chi tfuahTa. If the situation is as serious as indicated, General Obregon may bt l compelled to recall some of his forces in the north. It has been stated, but men were being concentrated in tht north. Ofacial reports have placed the number at 10000. At any rate, ofacerS here think a large enough portion O Carranza's available forces have beer moved north to weaken his contro over the southern bandit areas. l No Early Reply to Note.
 There were no indications today tEaa the state department was preparing tl make an early reply to the demand fo- withdrawal or for definite statemen of the intentions of the United State toward Mexico. Counsellor Polk con ferred several times with Secretar. Baker, but it was not disclosed wha aspects of the situation were unde u4SCuSSlOu. q Officials feel that the purposes of tn United States have been stated repeat edly in unmistaka1ble language. Presi dent Wilson himself has stated hi views fully and clearly, both in publi addresses and in official statements t the American people. They feel, a1sC sl that tkse good faith of those statement has been demonstrated on so many oc caaions that they cannot be questione seriously Their attitude in this con snscllcn may be reflected in fhe Anerl- ban reply.

London, June 2.-The war has made great inroads on the membership and income of most of the golf clubs in England, and the result has been that for a long time the labor employed has been reduced to miniraum.
