GARRETT AND PRES
|DENT CONFER.
House Leader Will Defend the Policies Of
President Is Preparing Speech NgOr-
GUS Defense on Floor.

Washington, June 22-As he
has done on former occasions,
President Wilson sent for Repre-
sentative Finis J. Garrett OF len
nessee for conference on certain
phases of the Mexican crisis, The
conference lasted forty-tive MIN
utes, but Mr.. Garrett would not,
of course, repeat anything that the
president bad said to him in their
confidential exchange Of views
Mr.. Garrett admitted, however,
that their talk was confined strict
ly to the situation as regards Next
co. Mr.. Garrett is preparing a
speech on that subject for delivery
in the house within the next few
days. In every crisis that has con-
fronted the administration Mr.
Garrett has been spokesman on
the floor Of the house for the presl-
dent. On yesterday he wlthstood
q terrific republican fire of crlti-
cism of the president for his Mexl-
can policy. 1t is quite noticeable
that the republicans have deter
mined to keep Mexico in the fore
ground of debate, regarding that
as the one vulnerable spot in
the Wilson defensive armor, In
the speech he is now preparing
Mr.. Garrett will not only make an
exhaustive defense of the presi-
dents handling of the perplexing
problems that have multiplied IN
Mexico, but he is expected to pre-
sent in outline some Of the higher
things the president hopes to &C.
complish as a result Of what he
has already attempted from mo-
lives of altruism rather than OF eX-
pediency
Not alone because he is force.
full debater does the president con-
fer often with Representative Gar.
rett, but as a member Of the com.
mittee on rules which has to re-
port a special rule every time tHs
house has to act on a vital admin
istration emergency measure out
Of the regular order of business
Mr.. Garrett takes the initiative il
presenting the administration
eide of the debate in support of thf
committed action. The repub.i
can minority is ever on the alert
to attack the committee on rules
for enabling the house to put
through legislation in which the
administration is especially con
cerned.
The inference is that in their
conference today President Wilson
gave Mr. Garrett a fair idea Of
some Of the more important ulti-
mate things he has in his own
mind with reference to his future
course il 1ya,.ng with Mexico in
particelor and the Latin-American
countries in general,

NEGRO CAvALRYMEN
FIGHT AT CARRZAL.
Americans Led into Ambush Under Flag Of
Truce. Border Authorities Doubt Any
Americans Made Prisoners.

Mexico City, June 21,-Extra
editions of the newspapers and
bulletins posted about the city
tonight tell Of the defeat of Ameri"
can troops at what is styled the
battle of Carrizal," The Ameri-
cans are declared to have been
dispersed and seventeen prisoners
captured,
The official version of the clash
says that the Americans attempt
ed to capture the railroad station
at CarrizaI and were engaged by
Gen. Felix Gomez, who was in
command of the Carranza gar
rison. Gen. Gomez was killed in
the battle, 1t is announced that
among the prisoners was an
American Interpreter, who con-
fessed, it is claimed, that the
American commander was the
aggressor. The prisoners were
sent to Mexican headquarters at
Chihuahua City.
El Paso, Tex, June 21,-A de-
tachment Of the tenth cavalry Of
the United States punitive ex-
petition under Brig Gen. ], j.,
Pershing in Mexico, was ambush
ed today by a vastly superior
force Of Mexicans in the hamlet Of
Carrizal, nine miles from Villa
Ahumada, and after a fierce fight
lasting two hours the Americans
withdrew.
Reports from both American
and Mexican sides state that forty
American soldiers were killed in
the first b9Ich Of machine guns
concealed on the flat roofs of the
adobe houses. The cavalry with
drew, reformed and attacked the
ambuscade. After two hours and
upon a realization that they were
greatly out,numbered, the Ameri-
cans withdrew.
Seventeen Americans are de-
clared by Mexican officials to
have been captured and to have
been hurried to Chihuahua City
under adequate guard, A ma.
chine gun used by the Mexicans
is reported to have done heavy
execution,
The scene of the fight was Just
niue miles southwest of Villa
Ahumada, the Mexican field head
quarters in Northern chihuahua,
and the clash occurred only a few
hours after President Wilson's
5000 word note warning Carranza
that the "gravest consequences"
would follow an attack upon
American troops had gone for
ward.
The Americans engaged are
thought to have been members
of a troop from the Tenth Cavalry,
a negro regiment, returning from
a scouting trip to Guzman. The
size of the Mexican force, whose
commander, Gen, Felix Comes,
was killed, is not known.

that our duty is under the Stars and

and became it's citizens we burned our
bridges behind us. Our duty is here. The
German Government has no claim upon us,

silent now. But when the time comes you
shall see us repay slander with patriot

The large number of soldiers the Ger

United States army was pointed out by a
member of the Philadelphia Turnverein.
The German-American, he said, was more
patriotic than any other American of
foreign birth or extraction.

high regard for law and authority" said
an officer of the National German-Amer-
lean Alliance. I'VE realize that under the
Constitution, President Wilson Is empow-
cred to break Oft diplomatic relations with
Germany. AS American citizens. we may
not agree with him, but we must abide
by his decision and the decision of Con-
gress for war or for peace.

almost impossible and yield, and ] think
this is the hope of most of our citizens
