DEMAND CARRANzA
REPUD|ATE ATTACK
MUST RELEASE OUR SOLDIERS
CAPTURED IN RECENT AT.
TACK AT cARRlzAL.
FAILURE SURELY MEANS WAR
Our Government Goes Right Ahead
On Plan to Patrol Mexican Bor-
der-Mexican General Says He
Will Fight If We Stay.

Washington, D. c., June ga pre-
emptory demand that General Car
rama repudiate the attack on Amer
lean troops at Carrizal and immedi-
ately release all captured American
soldiers was understood Sunday a.
m. to be the next step in the Next
can crisis now contemplated by the
Washington government.
Failure to comply with either de-
mand undoubtedly would result in
the gravest consequences, foretold in
Secretary Lansing's recent note to
the de facto government.
War Preparations Go On.
Formation of communication
awaited a final report from General
Pershing on the Carrizal incident.
Pending it's receipt the war depart
ment pressed urgently Sunday it's ef
forts to reinforce strongly the bor-
der patrol and prepare for any even
Qualities.
Official information from American
sources as to what happened at Car
rial are lacking and long delay in
finding additional survivors of the
fight was regarded as an ominous
sign.
Fear Trap and Massacre.
No American officer may survive.
In that event action by the United
States probably would be based on
the reports already received from
stragglers, which indicate that the
force was trapped and massacred by
machine gun fire.
Some hope persisted Saturday that
few of the command, left afoot in
the desert when their horses STAN
peded under the Mexican fire, may
have dug themselves in somewhere
in the country west of Carrizal and
be waiting for relief. General Per-
shings cavalry supports were near
ing the scene of the tragedy and al
ready had picked up a number of
survivors, according to late reports
from the border.
Officials were plainly concerned
with news dispatches from Chihui-
hua saying that General Jacinto Ire
vino, the Mexican commander, had
threatened to attack American col
umns reported advancing from the
field base toward San Antonio and
Ola Caliente If they did not immedi-
ately retreat. Another battle at this
time might precipitate general hos
Titles.
Rumors that the Carranza govern
ment was seeking mediation through
other Latin-American nations came
from many quarters.
No offers OF mediation reached the
state department from any sources.
Administration officials hold that they
have nothing to mediate. 1t is gen.
orally regarded as unlikely that Pres
ident Wilson would agree to any pro-
posal that would result in tying the
hands of General Funston in his eff
forts to protect the border from ban
dts.
Trevino's Threats Renewed.
While the diplomatic status of the
situation shifted and changed Sunday
with every hour, if rumors we're to
be credited, the steps of the war de-
partment to get ready continued.
Word came of the mastering into the
federal service of an Oregon National
Guard company, the first unit of the
state troops to be enrolled under the
presidents call last week.

REVELATIONSOF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRHSON

'I haven't been in New York for years," she replied, and I would like to revisit some of the places I found so interesting then. I want especially to see some of the old churches I saw then, Trinity, St. Pau's chapel and the rest of them.''
 Dicky threw up his hands in pre- tended horror. -.
 "You1l sure have some voyage if You make port at all the ancient gospel harbors this town owns,' he said. Better take a taxi, Madge, got money enough?'
 The Taxi Veto.
 l looked at him aghast To my frugal soul chartering a taxi for a days sightseeing was the widest kind of extravaganza. If 1t had been my own trip solely I would have ut tered firm protest, but as the taxi cab was proposed for my mother-in- jaw. I did not feel like voicing any thought concerning it.
 I thought witch dismav. however. cf Dickys arrangement to turn over his earnings to me so that I could take charge of them, regulate our expenditures, and try to save some thing from his large salary. If this was the scale on which he intended to provide for his mother I felt doubtful as to my ability to save any thing ar all.
 l wondered vaguely. toto, whether my feeling might not be an unworthy enc. Surely, I did not wish to be- g"udge Dicky's mother anything that would rdd to her comfort.
 To my relief, however, the elder Mrs. Graham put veto to the taxi cab suggestion.
 How perfectly absurd!" she said cIushingly. Margaret, I hope you are not one of those modern women who will not set foot in a public conveyance or on the streets if they can help it."
 I flung up my head, stung to the quick by the unjust accusation. I GO not know whether or not I would have answered her insinuation, but Dicky. stepping bravely into the trcach, saved the situation.
 "Dont you think it, mother" he said warmly. 'Madge has the real Yankee thrift, together with tho Puritan conscience. She'd hold on te nickel until judgment day No taxis for her when there are elevat- cGs and subwaYs on the job"

 "I am very glad to hear it." said my mother-in-Iaw coldly. fancied she did not relish Dickys champion ship of me.
 "Well good-by!" Dicky burles- qued the throwing of kiss to us then he must have caught the look in my eyes, for he stopped short. He had left the house before when angry
