A SKIS Reason
f0rActj0n of
YankTroops

Washington, June 22.-An official
communication from the Mexican for
eign office, announcing the clash be-
tween Mexican and American troops
at CarrizaI and saying the de facto
government found it difficult to I'M
derstand why the Americans should
have been so far away from their
base, was delivered to Secretary Ian
sing today by Eliseo Arredondo, the
Mexican ambassador designate.
Arredondo asked for an explanation
Of the action of American troops ap-
preaching the town of Carrizal.
Secretary Lansing had no official
information on which to discuss the
Carrizal affair, and, according to Mr.
Arredondo also was without knoWl-
edge of whether any Mexican towns
actually had been occupied.
Official Mexican dispatches were de-
scribed to Secretary Lansing lndlcat-
ing that the Mexican forces thought
the American troops who approached
Carrizal intended to take the town
! Mr.. Arredondo said he called Secre-
tary Lansing's attention to the dis
lance trayersed by the American
troops from their base and to what he
called the lack of prudence of the
American commander III approaching
the Mexican railway"
He said his reports showed that II
American soldiers had been Captur-
ed, but did not give the number Of
casualties among either the Amerl-
can or the Mexican forces.
