MOVE TO EJECT AMERICAN FORCE
MEANS FIGHT; IT'S UP TO CARRANZA

WASHINGTON, Juno 20.--General Car
ranza must make the next move, The
United States, under no circumstances, will
change its present attitude toward Mexico.
If Carranza is willing to accept the position
assumed by the Administration and curb
his war-anXious forces. all may be well.
But any attempt to eject the American
troops now in Mexico from their positions
or to interfere with their efforts to capture
and kill the bandit raiders will be sternly
punished.
This is the position of the United States.
Mobilization of the organized militia was
being hurried in every way. General Fun
ston has disposed of his forces along the
border so that points against which any
general attack might be planned are pro-
tected.
FLEETS ARE READY.
The Atlantic and Pacific fleets are pre-
pared for Immediate call at their general

1--WE are going TO begin recruiting imme-

additional vessels because of the Mexican
situation" said Secretary Daniels as he left
the White House.
There is no Disgusting the fact that the
nation is preparing for war.
Hardly an official entertains the slightest
hope that Carranza and his followers will
accept the viewpoint of the United States.
And the first shot that now is fired by
Carranzsta soldiers at an American sol

border permitted by the Carranzistas will

army is proof that the object of the ex-

on their way out of Mexico estimate that
there still are approximately 1000 Amer
leans south of the Rio Grande. Many of
these are expected to come out this week.
According to best available figures, there
are 1900 Americans in Mexico City, 500 in
Chihuahua. 500 in Tampco, 300 in 'Zaca-
tecas and 1900 in Sonora.
Warnings TO leave the country continue to
be sent out daily by attaches of the de
pRrtment
Employees of the Montezuma Copper Com
pany, who have arrived at Douglas, Ariz,,
held prisoners in Cananea by a mob of
10000 McXcans. The MeXicans have not
menaced the Americans with death, but
refused to permit them to leave, so that the
copper mines could continue in operation
and Mexican laborers would not be thrown
out of work.
This state of affairs has been explained
to General Pelias Gales, Military Governor
OF Sonora, who promised to send train
with picked troops to enable the Americans
TO reach the border.
South of Nacozari about 100 Americans
are trying TO reach the border.
Fresh outbursts of Rnti-American feeling
were reported today in Durango and
Chihuahua, which seem TO be the hotbeds
of anti-Americanism A dispatch from
Douglas says the Mexican consulate in that
town has been closed 1t was explained
by the Mexican officials that this was not
due to fears of war, but because the United
States consulate in Nogales, Sonora, had
been closed.
