VIII Not Force War.

VIII Not Force War.
The situation last night was that the
United States does not intend to force
war on Mexico. The army and navy will
make no aggressive move on Mexican
territory. But the first attempt by Mexi-
cans to attack the American forces or the
first serious border raid will be the sig
nal for an invasion of Mexico in force
that will not be brought TO a close unit,
the United States has swept Mexico Gle o
of its revolutionary factions and has sI
up stable government in that republic
President Wilson's first move in putting
his new Mexican policy in force will be
to dispatch to Carranza today a lengthy
note rejecting fatly the demand for with
drawal Of American troops.
Not only will this note be the last word
to Carranza, but It will be backed up by
the army the President is mobilizng for
the Mexican campaign.
Up to Carranzs.
1t will then be up to Carranza to say
whether the United States shall be given
