(sy Review Leased Wire. )


 WASHINGTON, June IT, Confr- nation of General Trevinos warning that any movement of American troops in Mexico except toward the border would be treated by the Carranza commanders as a hostile act reached the war department late today. Sec retary Baker declined to comment or to make public General Trevino's mes sage or the reply of General Pershing refusing to recognize authority of the Carranza generals over the American expedition.
 Uutimatum Spurned
 While it was apparent that General Pershings reply would be backed up by officials here it was not indicated what further action the Washington government might take.
 Secretary Baker took the text of General Trevino's ultimatum to the White House and conferred with the President tonight. IL was understood that the President would await off cial information regarding reported fighting in the Brownsville district be- fore he determined upon a course.
 Tonight the war department had re- ceived no report on the developments at Brownsville Officials said that if CarranZa troops had made any attack on American detachments following hot trails over the line the Americans undoubtedly would withdraw to the American side and entrench to repel any attempt to follow them They did not believe any counter attack would be attempted without specific orders from Washington.
 Wilson Unmoved
 Neither state nor war department officials seemed greatly agitated over General TrevinO's ultimatum. Secre- tary Lansing said the policy of the ad- ministration was unchanged
 Note Leaves Monday
 The reply to the Carranza note de- manding recall of the American forces will leave by special messenger Mon- day for Mexico City, unless develop ments upset present plans
 On Ten Day Trip
 Whether General Trevino's state ment is presented on specific orders of Carranza, would influence President Wilson to interrupt the diplomatic ex- change, no official would predict. Should the reply refusing withdrawal of General Pershing's expedition go by messenger it will not be delivered for ten days or more Its text would not be made public until it had reach ed it's destination in any event
 So far as known no additional steps toward calling out the national guard have been made.
 Militia Forming The new army bill providing for fed eralization of the militia will go into effect about July 1. thereby repeating the present militia law The new act requires state troops who participate in federal concentrations to take a dual oath of allegiance. Only the Tex as guard now is required such an oath and unless all the remaining units take the required oath before July 1, the legal hiatus will occur in their statute which may prove embarrass- ing The attention of all governors has been called to this condition and they have been urged to see that their men are promptly sworn in in accord ance with the new law This corres- pondence is said to have led to reports that the guard of the various states had received orders for active service on the border It became known today that several army transports are being held in readiness for use as refugee ships should the need arise. Whether any actually have been ordered to Mexican waters officials would not say. The | navy transport Hancock will go to Vera Cruz however. as soon as she | has her marine passengers in Santo | Domingo.
