WASHINGTON, June 19. Upon
General Carranza's reception of a
stern refusal to heed his demands for
recall of American troops from Mex
ico hinges the question of a Mexican
war, in the opinion of President Wil
son's close advisers. They were pre
pared tonight for the possibility ' of
open hostilities after the note which
will be sent forward tomorrow has
reached Carranza's hands.
No indication has come that the
first chief's attitude of implacable
hostility would be shaken by the re
iterated declaration of the latest com
munication that the United States has
no aggressive or warlike purpose to
ward Mexico, but is firmly resolved
to protect ier borders and end bri
gandage in the border states.
Note to Be Delivered Today.
The reply to Carranza's note de
manding recall of General Pershing's
expedition was in the hands of the
Government Printer tonight, prepara
tory to its delivery and publication to
morrow. Secretary Lansing had in
tended to send it forward today, but
at the la6t moment minor changes and
additions to the 6000-word document
necessitated delay. Although it had
been planned to send it by special
messenger to Mexico City, the situa
tion has changed and it probably will
be handed to Kliseo Arredondo, Mex
ican Ambassador-designate. ,
Militia May Enter Mexico.
Indications that the militia now be
ing mobilized is intended as well for
invasion of Mexico as for guard duty
on the border appeared today in Ad
ministration circles when steps were
taken to have the new army reor
ganization law, which becomes effect
ive July 1, become in force at once.
Congress will be asked to settle this
question today.
Under the present law the troops
cannot be- sent out of the United
States unless war has actually been
declared.
While the diplomatic steps were in
progress ' today, the Nation was
stirred throughout its length and
breadth with the movement of Na
tional Guardsmen mobilizing to guard
the border. At least 100,000 and pos
sibly a far larger number were pre
paring for active service under Presi
dent Wilson's call.- For the present
their mission will be purely one of de
fense, but, should war come, they
will be ready also for that. No
marching orders for the new forces
had gone out tonight. They will not
be assigned for border duty until mus
tered into the Federal service.
Troops to Await Call to Border.
Even when mobilization is com
pleted, only such units will be ordered
south as General Funston desires to
fill, the gaps in his 1800-mile guard
line. .The remainder will rest on their
arms at the state mobilization camps
for the present, awaiting the turn of
events.
Official reports frommany quar
ters show that a flame of popular
feeling against the United States is
being kindled throughout Mexico. Ap
parently it is being done with the
sanction of General Carranza, for the
acts in many cases are those of his
authorized military or civil agents.
From Juarez to the west coast of
Mexico posters have appeared calling
the people to arms and asserting that
the United States is preparing to hurl
its armies into Mexico. Chaotic con
ditions prevail everywhere, it is said,
Clashes such as that between Mexican
troops and American bluejackets at
Mazatlan yesterday show that refa-
tions are strained to the breaking
point. The act of a subordinate com

MEXICO CITT. June 19 The streets

thronged all the afternoon with patri
otic paraders, who marched to the va
rious public offices led by bands carry
ing; the national emblems as evidences
of their willingness to defend the coun
try's honor and dignity in case of a
foreign war.
More than 10,000 persons gathered in
the great square bounded by the ca
thedral and municipal palaces, where
they were addressed by General Car
ranza. War Minister Obregon and other
members of the, government. General
Carranza. told the throngs that Mexico
was not seeking war, but would not
avoid It at the cost of national dignity.
"Mexico," said General Carranza,
"will not declare war on the United
States, . but will . know how to do her
duty if hostilities are forced upon her."
A meeting of Mexican workingmen's
organizations tonight decided to send a
committee of workmen to Fledras Ne
gras tomorrow to .confer with a com
mittee from the American Federation
of Labor and to use every effort to pre
vent war between the United States
and Mexico.
It was announced that no restrictions
would be placed on Americans desiring
to. leave Mexico, and that they would
be . protected. A general exodus of
Americans has commenced. 4

American consulate was stoned.
Late today a commission of engineers
called on General Carranza and offered
a plan for national defense in case of
war with the United States.

ican government troops were reported
tonight to be marching toward Del Rio,
a border town about 100 miles up the
Rio Grande from Eagle Pass, with the
announced Intention of attacking the
Americans there.
This information was the most nota
ble bit of evidence indicating the atti
tude of the de facto government that
reached General Funston today. It was
brought to the border by a Mexican,
who said the force was 1500 strong.
According to his report, the Mexican
troops said they intended to attack the

It was estimated that late today they
were about 40 miles south of Del Rio.

tain. General Greene sent from Eagle
Pass, in motor trucks, a battalion, of
the Third Infantry. The battalion
should arrive at Del Rio before morn
ing. '
While 100.000 members of the militia
were being mobilized today. General

what information they could concern
ing the movements on the Mexican
side both of bandits and government
troops.

Such information as reached General
Funston concerning the movements if

bulk of the border army some miles
south of the Rio Grande.

cial.) Many of San Francisco's largest
employers will continue to pay the
wages of their men who are members
oi me .national uuara during sucn time,
as they may be absent In the service I
of the country.
Although the call tor the militia Is
only a few hours old a large number
of employers have already announced
that they will hold positions open for
their men who go with the National
Guard, and will keep them on the pay
roll. . . . .
Among the large business - houses
the movement to aid the Government
In the mobilization of the citizen army
by relieving the militiamen of financial
worry during their absence seems to
have reached goodly proportons. The
banks In particular have notified their
men that If they go their jobs will be
held for them and their pay checks
made out as usual.
A brief survey today found few who
had not already announced this policy,
though some said that . the question
was so new that It had -not been taken
up yet..
The Pacific . Telephone & Telegraph
Company was one of the first to make
the announcement.
The Southern Pacific Company, how
ever, is an exception.
William Sproule, president of that
company, said: '
"In case of war every railroad man
Is needed by the country In his Job.
The railway system of the country Is
one great branch of military prepara

Is to go out and shoulder a musket."

Any able-bodied mail citizen of
the United States, c good char
acter, between the ages of 18
and 4S. Is eligible to enlistment.
Persons desiring to enlist are
urged to apply at once at the
Armory, Eleventh and Davis
streets. It Is expected that most,
of the companies will be recruit
ed up to full minimum strength by
tonight. Recruiting off'cers will
remain at the Armory for an in
definite period or until such time
as the full quota of recruits is
obtained.
Patriotism ran high In Portland yes
terday. Response to the Oregon Na
tional G ard's call for recruits was
marked with enthusiasm among per
sons . 'n all walks of life. Youths
scarcely within the age limit and mid-dle-aa-edfinen.
persons representing the
various professions and trades, clerks
and laborers presented themselves at
the Armory, eagor to go to the front
and to take up arms in the Mexican
crUia.
From the department stores, the rail
road companies, the banks and other
business . Institutions, big and little,
came the prospective soldiers.
- All day long and late into the night,
the Armory was a busy scene. Squads
were drilling, recruits were hastening
hither and thither seeking their ap
pointed places, officers were busy exe
cuting orders and the veteran militia
men were busy In making final prep
arations 'or mobilization.
Married Mi Arraago Affair.
Between breathing spells, the militia
men took occasion to arrange their
business affairs. Some were so busy
that they were unable to leave the
Armory and issled Instructions, to their
business associates over the telephone
le married militiamen had addition- -at
duties those of making provisions
for their families and of seeing that
they were In good hands. Special pre
caution was takn in these things, as '
the militiamen wanted to 'be prepared
to leave with a feeling of satisfaction '
at any moment the order should come
to move to the border.
Among those who enlisted yesterday
many were former members of the
militia, and had served their prescribed
time. - Because of their military ' ex
perience, they were Invariably accepted
as long, of course, as they met the
physical requirements-
Gooel Teeth Are Repaired.
In" charge of the examination of
recruits are Major M. D. Marcellus.
Frst Lieutenant V. C Birney and First
Lieutenant Li. II. McLean, of the medi
cal corps.
"The men seeking enlistment, for the
most part, were In fine condition," said
Major Marcellua. The principal causes
for rejection were flat-foot, varicose
veins. , rupture and bad teeth. One
of the special requirements Is that the
applicant must have good teeth.
Several of the applicants were below
the prescribed height of five feet and
four inches. This height Is somewhat
higher than the present European
standards.
Kmployers generally showed keen In
terest In the mobilization and. with a
few exceptions, made no objections to
their employes enlisting. Most of the
men were assured that their positions
would be open to them on their return.
Meier A Fraak's Sends 35.
