TIIE MORNING OKEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 191G. WASHINGTON FEARS MEXICAN OUTBREAK Carranza's Hold on Men Un der Him Regarded as In- -creasingly Slight. RAIDER'S BODY IDENTIFIED MILITARY GENIUS DIRECTING PRESENT GREAT RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE AGAINST AUSTRIAN'S. Man Killed at Coleman fcanch Is Ijlentenant-Colonel In De Facto Army Any Eventuality Is Now Beemed Possible. "WASHINGTON. June 13. Unless the increasing: seriousness of conditions in Mexico forces action, dispatch of the reply to General Carranza's demand for withdrawal of American troops prob ably will be delayed -until after the St. Louis convention, because the Adminis tration desires to avoid any drastic step at a time when it might appear to be prompted by political influences. - Secretary Lansing and his advisers are said to have given; careful consid eration to the possibility that the Ad ministration might be charged with playing politics in dealing with the problem. The rapid spread of anti American propaganda in Northern Mexico, however, coupled with increas ingly grave economic conditions, may take the situation out of their hands. Any Eventuality Possible. No official would venture a. predic tion tonight as to what might be ex pected in the immediate future. In common with some Consuls In Mexico, they believe almost any eventuality Is possible, with agitators working on the feelings of a people already distressed by the fruits of a prolonged disorder. It was said positively that the Wash ington Government was considering no aggressive action to be taken of Its own motion, but stood ready to act should assaults on Americans or any attack on General Pershing force the issue. The State Department today received confirmation of the identification of one of the Mexicans killed in the Cole man ranch raid as Lieutenant-Colonel Villareal. of the Carranza army. , It is understood the development immediate ly was called to General Carranza's at tention, but officials were inclined not to give itvspeclal significance pending an explanation from the de facto gov ernment. Carraiuii's Men Poorly Controlled. The loose control of the Carranza commanders over their men Is one of the complicating factors with which the Administration has been confronted all along. A sharp rejolner is being prepared to the Carranza note. It will repeat the determination of President Wilson to keep American troops in Mexico until the Carranza forces have shown their ability and intention to police the bor der states properly. It will rebuke the de facto government for -the sugges tions and statements in its note ques tioning the , good faith of the Washing ton Administration. Secretary Lansing has had before htm a mass of data dealing with the assertions of fact set up by the Mexi can note. He expects to be able to refute most of these statements, and the daily crop of messages from Mex ico telling of new disturbances will supply additional evidence that the de facto government does not in fact ex ercise the control it claims over the border states. More Militia Hu Be Called ' Pending the sending of the reply, steps have been In progress for some days toward meeting any emergency that may arise. Conferences between State and Navy Department officials have resulted in the formulation of definite plans for the removal of Amer icans who would gather In Mexican ports, should a serious outbreak of anti-American feeling force them to flee, or should there be a. clash be tween American and Mexican troops. It is known, too. that the possibility of calling out more state militia to pro tect the border has been the subject of renewed discussion among officials. The motives behind the anti-American propaganda and the precise atti tude of General Carranza toward the agitation both are subjects of specula tion. Many officials are convinced that the de facto government is tottrlnsr and thmk General Carranza may have sent his belligerent note with the de liberate purpose of provoking the vn.sniiigTon Administration to Inter' vention. h x -f "ft .

Brnaallon Man of Hour. General Brussiloff is the man of the hour, in Russia. The last few days have brought the number of prisoners taken by him since the beginning of the war to nearly 450,000. Besides, he has taken about 500 guns and an un countable quantity of other spoils. He is a man on the further edge or virile middle age. Gray-Raired, urbane in a dry and daintily formal manner, ne is exceedingly spruce in a neat uniform of superfine khaki, upon which shine heavy golden aiguillettes and orders. He Is famous throughout the army as a man who is always eager to attack. He told me when I saw jilm last that he was looking forward to the possi bility that one 'day the war would reach a stage where position fighting would cease and give place to battle maneuvers. "What we need." he said, "is not only victory, but victory with eclat." Csernowita Occupation Unconfirmed. Reports of the occupation of Czefno- witz. capital of Bukowlna. ty tne kus sians are still without confirmation. but after the recent defeat of the Aus trian General Pflanzer's army and the successful Russian operations in the immediate vicinity of Crernowitz. offi cial news of the fall of the city is momentarily expected here. . The Zaleszczyky point of support and one of the most important positions on the Dnerster lines of -fortification also comes within the zone now threatened by the extreme southern flank of the Russian forces, and surrounded as It now is by the advancing Russians, it is in an equally critical situation. The two other most important sec tors of the front extending from the Pripet River to Roumania are the re gions south of Lutsk and north of Tar nopol. From the reports of the pre cipitate Austrian retreat from the for mer region, it is inferred here that the Austrians were compelled to relinquish their most important position on the Ikwa front the Torgovitza farm, which Is situated at the Junction of the Ikwa and Styr Rivers. Position of Great Valne. The occupied position 13 of the greatest strategic value. Here the sanre fate overtook the Austrians as at Mlynof on the Ikwa, east of Torgov itza. Finding themselves the target for an Intense artillery bombardment from three sides, the garrison fled Around Tarnopol they had the most furious and sustained fighting of all. Upon the outcome of this engagement the safety of Lemberg depends, and the Austrians are straining their utmost to prevent further Russian advances Taking the Initiative In the region of Gliadki and Vorobievka, they are launching a continuous series- of at tacks and making considerable gains, but only to have the newly carried po sitions wrested from them by the Rus sians in counter attacks. - North of Lutsk the Austrians are known to be massing considerable re inforcements, but there seemingly igs-w. temporary lull in the fighting in this section. The only point on the entire front where the Austrians succeeded in pressing back the Russians is north of Buczacz, but tne . outcome or the struggle here has not yet been decided and the Austrians' gains have been offset by Russian progress south of Buczacz. The Germans, as had been antic! pated, have begun a diversion on the northern front in the region of Jacob- stadt and south of Krevo, but all their consicence and they would like to do something about it. " If some one will show them a way for a Democratic plaform to be progressive and not any the les3 Democratic he will confer a favor on s sundry troubled citizens if he will start immediately for St. Louis. . " German-Americans Cause Worry. One more big worry stares the Democrats in the face. It is the German-Americans. They are sure that citizens of German birth and descent are- not for Wilson, but they are' not sure what they can or should do about it. Apparently the so-called Germans are lost to Wilson. Should the Democrats try to win them back, or should they take the bull by the horns and attempt to fasten upon the Republicans the odium of hyphenism, it may be guessed that the Democrats lack the nerve to attack the German American alliance by name and per haps not by inference. But they will try to out-Chicago Chicago in the ef fort to show that the Democratic party is the only true exponent of an unflinching and an unterrified Americanism. The Democrats would also like to ex press their indignation at the "invas ion" of the Supreme bench for a can didate by the Republicans, If they thought it would do any good. Senator Stone Is highly incensed over it, and so are some other lawyers, but there is pretty general doubt if anything can really be accomplished by saying any thing about It at all, and the matter is likely to be dropped. Marshall Has Inside Track. For Vice-President, there is some thing like a favorite son movement against Marshall in the interest of Roger Sullivan, of Illinois, Governor Major, of Missouri, and others. But Marshall appears to have the inside track. No one is able to give good reason whjn Sullivan or Major should have the job, although he wants it. and there is reason of sound political strat egy why Marshall should be named. He halls from Indiana, a doubtful state, the home of the Republican Vice-Presidential candidate. It would be folly to enhance the Republican prospects of carrying Indiana by re fusing to nominate Marshall. James Hamilton Lewis is strongly opposed to sum van, Dy the way, and may offer his own name as a candidate merely to di vide Illinois. Colonel Lewis is' a now erful factor in Illinois politics, and he is at his best in a shindy, as some of his old antagonists in Washington Know. The Democratic programme and problem present themselves therefore about as follows: . iirst Nomination of Wilson for President. Second Nomination of Marshall for Vice-President. Third Adoption of a platform which shall be all Wilson and nothing else. Fourth Satisfying the suffragists wunout giving them anything. Fifth Dodging prohibition, or per suading Bryan to forget it. Sixth Determining whether attack on Hughes for "dragging the Supreme Court Into mire of politics" will do more good than harm. Seventh Getting back the German- American vote with or without paying an equivalent. Eighth Capturing the "radical Progressives. Evidently after all the Democrats have much to do. It will take three days, and perhaps four. E. B. P, 1 w IDAH0ANS NOT ORGANIZED Delay in Arrival of Slembers Pre "vents Action on Slate.

The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London were among the clergy. - The hymn "Abide With Me" was the first number. The rDead March" was rendered with moving effect by the great band of the Royal Engineers, re inforced by drummers of the Irish Guards. After prayers from the burial serv ice and the benediction, a bugle from a far recess of the cathedral sounded the notes ot the, "last post." Finally, the congregation sang "God Save the King." The American embassy was repre sented by Ambassador and Mrs. Page. Secretary and Mrs. Laughlin, Comman der Powers Symington, naval, attache, and Captain Alexander M. Miller. Mili tary Attache J.

The Oregon delegation was unable to- caucus and organize today, as planned, because of the failure Of W. L. Morgan, of Port land, to reach St. Louis. Judge Ben nett, of The Dalles: Will Peterson, of Pendleton, and other delayed delegates arrived early today. The delgation now plans to organize -tomorrow, in advance of the assembling of the con vention, and then to agree on its slate. Until the delegation gets torgetner. no definite steps will be taken toward the selection of a National committee? man. The situation remains as it was yesterday, with a general disposition to shelve Ksterly and to pick some man who can "do things." The opposition to Esterly is based primarily on the belief of the delegates that he Is not the man for the Job and they are dis posed to agree that the act of 1915 repealed that provision of the primary law under which Esterly was elected two years ' ago. , There has, as yet been no agree ment on a man to put forward for Na tional committeeman in the event the delegation finds it Is not compelled to vote for Esterly.
