To Go Directly to Border.

Army officials. said the border states
militia would probably not be mobilized
in concentration camps. as was done
during the Spanish American war. but
would be sent to various border points
in such force as Gen. Funston may de-
eide.
The procedure, as explained by the
War Department, was for the President
to notify the governors of the several
states that their militia was called
upon for federal service. The gov
ernors Will notify their respective adju-
tant generals. who will notify the vari-
Gus units. Through the state officials
Gen. Funston will call upon the militia
companies as they can be used
All militia called out will be tempo
rarily mustered into the federal sery-
ice. taking new oaths A mastering of
fcer will be sent to each place where
the militiamen are to be sworn in. The
movement was prepared for in advance.
Necessary blanks are already in Gen.
Funston's possession. The militia while
in the border service will receive the
pay of officers and enlisted men OF the
regular army. Their pay will begin
upon their taking the oaths and the
United States will pay all expenses OF
their service.

Ready to Abandon Juarez.


There is every indication tonight that
Juarez Is to be Immediately abandoned.
| Five trains are in the yards of the
Mexican Central. loaded with military
supplies. and are expected to pull out
at any moment.
Gen. Obregon is heading straight for
Chihuahua city. Gen. Jacinto Trevino.
who came north with Obregon and left
here several nights ago went straight
! to Torreon, where he modified his
! army, said to number $4,000 men. and
! began to move them toward Chihuahua
city. The advance guard is reported
| tonight to have reached that city. All
| of the Sonora troops of Gen. p. Ella q
| Gales are now strung along the So
nora-Chihuahua border. They are said
| to number approximately 1900 men.
and there are unoficial reports of other
troops being moved north from central
Mexico.
| The Mexicans have moved silently
| and with Characteristic subtIety, and
| now apparently believe they are in
position to strike successfully. But al
| though they greatly outnumber the
| American forces in Mexico under Gen.
Pershing, there is no great concern in
military circles for the punitive expe-
dition.
Gen. Pershing has his army drawn
pretty close together. He has an abun-
dance of ammunition and supplies and
his men can and will fight There are
5000 troops in the city just aching for
| a SCRAP" but it appears to be no part
of the Mexican scheme to have any
border action at this time. I learn to-
night that in anticipation of just what
occurred the War Department has made
program which can be carried into
effect inside of two hours
1t is needless to say that the two
American commanders, who have been
bending every energy for six DAYS to
| show Cen Obregon the folly of war
with the United States. are unalter-
ably opposed to any backing down
now.
They have fatty told Gen Obreson,
not only once but twenty times in the
last week, that the American punitive
expedition will not be withdrawn from
Mexico inside of any time limit. and
it never will be withdrawn until such
time as the de facto government shows
to the satisfaction of this country its
ability to handle the bandits and out
laws who infest the north.
Gen. Obregon sought yesterdays con-
ference, the third Of an Official nature
which has been held since he came to
tho border to meet American military
representatives.
The first omcial conference was held
in the customhouse at Juarez and fol-
lowed an exchange OF courtesy calls.

Obregon Calls Himself Fool.

Gen. obregon told his military as
sociates that Gen. Scott asked Kim why
he had signed an agreement which he
and his government were not willing
to ratify. and that he replied: Be
ca ] am a fool and the first chief is
a wise man. Because I was foolish
enough to sign such agreement L
am now glad that my government Is
wise enough to rectifv my error"
j learned also that Gen. Scott told
Gen. Obregon frankly that he knew
that Gen. Trevino was bringing large
forces from Torreon to Chihuahua and
Pershing to retreat before a show of
force such as that. Gen. Obregon re
piled that if the American troops started
TO withdraw the Mexican troops would
follow them closely until they were
across the international boundary.
Toward the end of the talk Gen. Scott
asked Gen. Obregon If his demand that
the Americans get out of Mexico At
once was final one. The Mexican
war minister replied that his instruc-
tions from the first chief left no mid
die course
The punitive expedition. Gen. Dbre-
gon said. must get out at once without
conditions of any kind or the Mexican
government would take steps to com
pei its evacuation.
The discussion ended right there.
Gen. Scott suggested that the Mexican
governments position be put in writ
ing and Gen. Obregon agreed to DO
that without delay. There was no
handshaking at parting. but very for
NAL bows.

Conference After Raid News.

Gen. Obregon agreed to ratify this
compact IL he could get the approval OF
Gen. Carranza. The second official con-
ference took place at the immigration
station on the International bridge Sun
day Just before it met the news had
been received of the raid by Mexican
bandits on Glen Springs and Boquillas,
in the Big Bend region of Texas.
Gen. Scott and Gen. Funston naturally
were in no very amiable mood when
latter and Senior Amador began to offer
a mass OF counter proposals which they
said they had received from the first
chief. they were interrupted and told
abruptly that the United States was
ready 10 ratify the tentative agreement
made at the unoficial conference. but
would not discuss taking from or add
ing TO that agreement one line.
Gen. Obregon went back to Juarez
with this statement from Gen. Scot.
ringing in his ears: There is no need
of another conference until such time
as you are ready to tell US on behalf
OF your government that you accept
or reject the agreement YOU signed
last Tuesday. We shall wait in FL
Paso until we hear from YOU"

NEW YORK. May "a spc-
cial dispatch to the New York
Herald from w. A. Willis, its cor
respondent at El Paso, states that
the Mexican de facto government
has thrown down the gauntlet to
the United States. Gen. Alvaro
Obregon, Mexican minister OF
war. and Juan N. Amador, sub
secretary of foreign relations IN
Gen. Carranza' cabinet, coolly
told Mai. Gen. Hugh l.. Scott and
Mai. Gen. Frederick Funston yes
terday afternoon that the pres
ence of the American punitive
expedition in Mexico no longer
could be tolerated, and that if
Brig. Gen. Pershing is not at once
withdrawn his forces would be at
tackled by government troops.
This is the end of six days Of
the conference and negotiations,
during which Gen. Obregon con-
tinually held out hope to the
American officials that he could
induce Gen. Carranza to agree to
a gradual withdrawal of the
American troops. During this
time, it now develops, Gen. Obre-
gon has been distributing his
armies to the best advantage and
is now ready to strike. He prac-
tically admitted this to Gen
Scott and Gen. Funston in the
formers private car in the yards
of the FL Paso and Southwestern
railroad.
When Gen. Obregon left the conference
he was asked. as a matter of form, to
send the American chief of staff a writ
ten communication containing the ultima
tum of his government. He said he
would do this. and in Juarez tonight !
am informed that this communication was
written by Gen. Obregon Immediately on
his return and sent to Gen. Scott by
special messenger.
I am unable to give the text Of this
communication. but in effect II was tha 1
the CarranZa government could no long
er tolerate the presence of armed for
eigners on its soil. and that the punitive
expedition must at once and without con-
ditions Of any kind whatever withdra W
from Mexico.
The Herald stated at that time that
the Mexican war minister had deliver
ed an ultimatum. Today's events prove
conclusively that it was an ultimatum.
and that all that has happened since
then has simply been a Mexican ex
pedient to gain time.

Expect Clash With Carranza.

Should this prove to be true. mem
bers of Congress who are apprehensive
regarding the situation regard it as

clash with American forces and is pre-
pairing 10 get the Juarez garrison
away from the danger zone at Ell Paso,
where a superior American force is To-
Gated.
Chairman Flood of the House foreign
relations committee said today that
while he had no official information re-
garding the reported demand of Gen
