Order to Release the American
Soldiers Held Prisoner is
Now Confirmed.
TW0 HOPEFUL FACTORS
Activity of Transportation OF
National GuardSmen Shows
No Relaxation Today.


WASHINGTON. June 29-MeXi-

DO today received a message from
Foreign Minister Aguilar confirming
that First Chief Carranza had issued
orders to General Trevino to release
the American troopers captured at
Carrizal and since held prisoners 0t
Chihuahua City
Release Of the American troopers
has removed one dangerous element
In the Mexican situation but It was
apparent today 1t had only somewhat
relieved and had not removed the
grave menace to continuance OF
friendly relations between the United
States and Mexico.
BY freeing the prisoners General
CarranZa met only one demand made
by President Wilson. The other
that CarranZa declare his future at
htude toward the American forces
In Mexico remains unanswered until
the latest communication arrives
from Mexico City. 1t was expected
today.
on the contIn .ency that the Car
rama government may continue its
policy OF attacking American forces
moving in any direction except
north. activities looking toward the
speedy transportation of the ma
tionRl guaTdsmen to the border
showed no relaxation today.
There were two hopeful factors in
the situation, however. First, what
ever General Carranza's answer may
be 1t probably will require further
diplomatic conversation and thus
hOstilities may be averted. at least
temporarily. Second. many obserV-
ers believed the yielding attitude OF
the Mexican government In the case
of the prisoners indicates tendency
which may be reflected in further
lealinga.
High officials Of the administration
let II be known that the United States
would proceed with its military opera
tions to adequately safeguard its citi-
zrns and territory and would continue
to pursue bandits in Mexico whenever
the, was hope OF overtaking them re-
gardless OF any action Mexican mill
tary commanders may take.
To free itself from the menace Of an
army mobilized on its northern from
tier. the Mexican government must
comply also with the demands that
II police adequately its border states
and establish such firm military con-
troll there that raidinG into the United
States is improbable and the assem-
bling Of any large group Of bandits
impossible.
While such control is lacking It is
clearly indicated here that President
Wilson is determined by force II neces-
sary to employ the army either along
the line or in Mexico in such a way
MS to insure the safety OF American
lives and property.

we are not fighting anybody that is

legitimate business. And we are not
