Washington's Only Action Is In Re
gard to Disposition of Forces
Because of Open Threat to
' Attack General Pershing,
' WASHINGTON, Juno 1. General Car
ranza's note demanding withdrawal of
American troops from Mexico has
brought no change in the determina
tion of President Wilson to maintain
the troop disposition until the ability
of the de facto government to police
its side of the border has been dem
onstrated. It was stated authorita
tively today that General Pershins's
force would remain where it is until
that time arrived.
A reply will be made to General Car
ranze, but the form it will take had
not been determined tonight. President
Wilson re.ad the hasty translation of
the long communication last night. A
corrected text is being prepared by the
State Department for his information.
Tone Is Offensive.
While official comment is withheld.
It is understood that the tone of the
document is regarded as decidedly of
fensive, and that certain portions of
it, such as the thinly veiled accusation
that the President is playing domestic
politics in retaining the troops in
Mexico, may draw a sharp rebuke. It
Is doubtful, according to authorities on
the international correspondence of the
United States, if the Government ever
has received a communication couched
in as offensive terms and containing
as many apparent violations - of the
ordinary uses of diplomatic courtesy
as this 1 2,000-word arraignment o,f its
good faith and honesty of purpose.
President Wilson himself will decide
what course shall be pursued. So far
as could be learned tonight, no con
ferences or preliminary inquiries havt
yet been initiated to determine the
nature of the reply. Apparently none
are necessary, so far as the withdrawal
of the troops is concerned. There is
no indication that that possibility is
even being considered.
Reply to Be Delayed.
The President left Washington, to
night for Annapolis to attend . gradu
ating exercises tomorrow at the Naval
Academy. Consequently there will be
no-Cabinet meeting tomorrow. This
in itself will delay an early reply to
Carranza, and it is generally believed
that no answer will be framed for a
week, or 10 days.
, The Mexican note was sent by mes
senger, requiring a week in transit,
and was further delayed after its ar
rival here. Officials feel there can be
"ho question of urgency in a communi
. cation so handled, and will not treat It
as a pressing matter.
As a matter of fact the new note
hardly caused a ripple In Administra
tion circles. No new orders went to
General Funston beyond a request by
officials to the general staff for de
tailed information as to disposition of
Carranza troops. In view of the note's
open threat of an attack on Pershing's
column, it was thought wise to- give
attention to the military problem, al
though no doubt Is felt as to the com
plete security of the American force
under any circumstances.

your diet and taking a course of treat
ment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to

and weak nerves, whatever the cause.

cial.) Because the literal enforcement
of tho Pendleton city traffic ordinance,
by Traffic Officer Ray McCarroll has
worked an Injustice and because there
is absolutely no distinction between
one end of town and another, a new
traffic ordinance will be' prepared for
the consideration of the City Council
at its next meeting. The present
ordinance gives absolutely no dis
cretion to the City Magistrate or the
City Attorney in its enforcement.
The Council ordered Judge Fitzgerald
to remit all fines collected in the past
week which, in its judgment, have
been collected for technical offenses
which exceeded the' Intent of the ordinance.
