THE Def TO MEXICO
The President Gives Carranza War If
He Wants 1t.

Washington. June 2t.-The ultima
turn delivered to Carranza by the note
sent is subject of much comment here.
In it officials see a declaration of war
if Carranza wants it that way
The note in conclusion says:
Withdrawal Demand Unreasonab
In view of this increasing menace,
of the inactivity of the CarranZa
forces, of the lack of cooperation in
the apprehension of the Villa bands
and Of the known encouragement and
aid given to bandit leaders, it is un-
reasona BILE to expect the United States
to withdraw its forces from Mexican
territory or to prevent their entry
again when their presence is the only
check upon further bandit outrageS
and the only efficient means of pro-
tecting American lives and homes
safeguards which General Carranza,
though interna ationaIIy obliged to sup
ply, is u1anifestIy unable or unwilling
to give
No More Munition Shipments.
Candor compels me to add that the
uncalled for hostility of the subordi-
nate military commanders of the de-
facto government toward the Ameri-
can troops engaged in pursuing the
Villa bands ard the effort of the de-
facto government to compel their
withdrawal from Mexican territory Dy
threats and show of military force in
stead of by aiding in the capture of
the outlaws constitute a menace to
the safety of the American troops and
to the peace of the border.
As long as this menace continues
and there is any evidence of an inten-
ton on the part of the de facto gov
ernment or its military commanders
to use force against the American
troops instead of cooperating with
them, the government of the United
States will not permit munitions of war
or machinery for their manufacture to
be exported from this country into
Mexico.
