ment:
II was very much pleased with Colonel

he has expressed himself in a very kind
ly way with respect to my telegram to

Washington, June 2S-An immediate
break between the United states and
the de facto government of Mexico has
been averted by compliance with the
American demand for release of the
twenty-three troopers captured in the
fight at Carrizal.
Whether state of war has been pre-
vented or merely postponed no one here
would attempt to say Tonight Official

Carranza was lacking Until his re.

tory and distinct demands, is received

spatches. brought undisguised relief tc
high officials. 1t was accepted as cor
rect, although no announcement hac
come through official sources. More
over, it was assumed that Carranza
impressed with the urgency of the sit
nation, had ordered the captured cav
hlrymen started for the border without
action to reach Washington.
While it is generally conceded thai
this move lessons tension and make
the crisis less imminent, no one con
Sersant with the grave problem is los
ing sight of the fact that the all-im-
portant question Of Carranza's attitude
toward the American expedition across
the border to protect the territory anC
citizens Of the United States from ban
dit outraEes remains unsettled. II tn,

orders to Genera, Trevino to attack

bility of diplomatic negotiation thai

The preparations of the United

border and General Funston will con

ments of American troops. 1t is
thought that possibly he will state his
position in such a way as to make fur
ther discussion necessary.
During any negotiations. however, the
United States will insist upon freedom
of movement of the troops in Mexico, and
any attempt to interfere with them will
be met by such force as is necessary. This
will apply too, to any period Of delay oc-
casioned by attempts to arrange media
ton or arbitration.
The possibility of Latin-AmeriCan OFFERS
Of mediation in the crisis again was wide
ly discussed tonight. IEnacio Calderon,
minister from Bolivia, will make second
call upon Secretary Lansing tomorrow
, to discuss the subject. lie will endeavor
to ascertain for the benefit OF himself and
his colleagues whether tender of good Of
| fees by the South and Central American
republics would be entertained at his
| time, The minister said after his first
conference with Secretary Lansing on
Monday that he understood the United
States to be unwilling even to discuss the
subject of mediation or arbitration while
| the captured American troopers remain
| ed in custody
1t is known that powerful influences
| have been brought to bear on Carranza
| in the past few days to make him at
least turn over the American prisoners.
Prominent Mexicans in the United States
| as we'll as American bankers and bus
ness interests with influence in Mexican
\ affairs have flooded the first chief with
messages. They all sent him the same
warning-that the United States govern

Brandeis Was Known.

Carmalt, chief examiner Of the inter-
state commerce commission. before the
senate subcommittee investigating
the nomination of Louis q. Brandeis to
the supreme court today challenged
Clifford Thornes declaration that
Brandeis concealed from Thorne the
attitude he would take in arguing tho
eastern freight rate case before the
commission.
Carmalt testified Il am confident
told Thorne Brandeis would take the
position that the net operating income
of the carriers was not adequate. with
special stress on the Central Freight
association territory. Further. I said
Brandeis would take the position that
the methods pursued by the carriers to
obtain greater revenues through .
horizontal per cent increase would
not be proper ones

Senator Chiffon. the chairman, stat

sides OF the case" and asked Carmat
II Brandeis helped Thorne develop his
side. Carmalt replied that he did and
said the data collected from the vari-
Gus railroads by the commission was
under Brandeis directions. available to
all.
Senator Clark asked II Brandeis was
not employed to develop the ''other
side OF the case" on the assumption
that the railroads side would be ade-
quately cared for. HE was not re-
tained for the railroads" responded
Carmalt. HE was to develop the whole
case"
Carmalt replying to a question. said
Thorne expressed surprise when he
told him Brandeis' position. Respond
ing to Senator Walsh, Carmalt said
there never was so far as he knew, a
conference of attorneys representing
the shippers to exchange views on the
preparation of arguments. Carmalt
said he did not consider Brandeis'
