less, nirthless celebration. The Yuie

Yet how beautiful in retrospect is
the memory Of some Christmas Of the

JUAREZ ABOUT EVACUATED BY

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

FL PASO. June 22.-Juarez tonight was practically evacuated by Carranza troops. The commandancia was almost deserted, the wireless station was dis mahtled. the collector of customs and General Francisco Gonzales, com mandant. had left for the interior, and only a few scattering military patrols were in evidence in the streets In ad- dition. a large part of the civil popula- tion, taking their household goods with them, left during the day for the south.
 Throughout the day troop and supply trains pulled out of the Mexican Cen tral station bound southward ostensibly to join General Jacinto Trevino, com manding the Carranza army of the north at Chihuahua City. Several of the trains, however. were halted with in score of miles of the city to await further orders. Some reports indicated that with the announcement from Washington that the administration, from the information at hand, was inclined to place the responslbli- ity for the CarriZal clash yesterday upon the subordinate commanders of

 Evacuation of border points by Car rancista garrisons had been general to- day but in most instances the troops have been concentrated few miles south of the boundary awaiting further developments in the crisis. Mexican reports tonight also said that prac- ticany all of the troops which have formed the horse shoe curve stretching around General Pershing's expedition ary command have abandoned their stations in the vicinity of Casas Gran- dee, El Nalle. Namiquipa and san An tonio It is believed those forces have moved eastward to points from which they can more readily effect functions with General Trevino's main command.

II seemed fairly well established, how ever, that the Mexican official reports fixing the American losses at twelve

 It was pointed out today that at no time would the United States have failed to press it's demands in re- gard to the conduct of submarine warfare. even if a state of war eX- isted with Mexico. As for eXporta

 it was said today that in the event of
 war between the United States and
 Mexico, some means will be found
 to prevent the plans of vOn Rintelen
 from being realized.
 The names of Frederico Stallforth
 of New York, a former banker in Mexico. and Andrew C. Maloy, also of New York, are mentioned in con- nection with that of von Rintelen. Stallforth. who was said to have been associated with von Rintelen in Mexico, was called before the federal grand jury in New York to testify as | to his activities. Von Rintelen, while l in this country, maintained head quarters in Stallforths offices. He | is understood here to have denied any
 connection with Mexican intrigues but was remanded to jail overnight for contempt for refusing to answer cer-
 tain questions before the jury. Meloy also was associated with l von >Rintelen in Mexico. He was in- 1 dicted in New York on the charge oi having obtained false passport foI von Rintelen.

WASH|NGTON ANA|TSREPORT
 IF INCIDENT
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. June 22.-One fact stood out tonight at the close of day of many developments in the Mexican States government and the de factO government authorities of Mexico hope Co treat the clash at CarriZal yesterday as an incident aggravating gravely strained relations, but not of itself likely to precipitate general hostilities. So far as the Washington admins tration is concerned, no final decision can be reached until President Wilson has received a report on the fight from American army officers.
 Events moved swiftly here during the day. Preparations by the war de- partment for possible war with the Mexican government went forward without interruption. At the same time, there came hints that General Carranza had been almost persuaded by European influences not to persist in a course certain to bring on con- flict.
 It is known that many officials here have not abandoned hope of peaceful outcome although they admit that each day since the present situation has seen new clouds appear. Their hopes against war are based solely on the reports that have reached them indi- rectly that the CarranZa government is inclined to seek a peaceful way out
 The Carrizal incident of course, now overshadows all other developments. Although they have only Mexican re- ports to go upon. officials do not ques- tiOn statements that many cavalrymen were killed, wounded or captured
 Whatever the facts may prove to be when General Pershing's report arrives it is certain that no steps toward re- prisal will be taken at least until that report has been carefully studied
 One of the first actions, however, wuuld be to demand the release of the Americans said to have been captured. Neither is it probable there will be any immediate move as d result of the in- cident Sunday at Mazatlan, where Mex ican soldiers made an unprovoked at tack on American bluejackets. accord ing to an official report to the navy de- partment today from the commander of the gunbOat Annapolis
