SALEM. Or.. June 21. (Special.) In
n effort to mend the strained situa
tion resulting from the recent passage
by the club of resolution providing for
erection of a sign near the Southern
Pacific station here advising the trav
eling public "Not to Judge our town
by our depot," the Salem Commercial
Club tonight rescinded the resolution.
The club went on record saying that
the first resolution was adopted only in
a spirit of jest and requested that the
Southern Pacific Company have a new
station built here as soon as possible.

received tonight
between American
troops and Carranzlstas was received

President Wilson's call and now mobil

Only preliminary reports of the prog
ress of the mobilization In various
states had reached the War Department
today. These were viewed as satis
factory.
Secretary Baker said the suggestion
that the senior class at West Point
Military Academy be graduated imme
diately for active service was under
consideration, but that no decision had
been reached. The cadets could be
commissioned as Second Lieutenants if
the emergency warrants such steps.
CAMP LINCOLN HAS 200 TENTS
Illinois National Guard Enters To

SPRINGFIELD. I1L. June 21. Camp
Lincoln Is tonight a city of about 200
tents, housing approximately 2000 mem
bers of the Illinois National Guard, who
tomorrow will enter upon a course of
training that will fit them for actual
war service.
Governor Edward F. Dunne, com
mander-in-chief of the Illinois troops,
announced tonight that according to
information he has received, no part of
the troops will be moved to the borde
under 30 days. Preparations are being
made to take care of the troops at leas
for that length of time, and possibly
for three months,
"Only in the event of a real battl
not a skirmish between American and
Mexican forces, the Governor said,
"would our militia be ordered south in
the Immediate future."
Should the order to move come even
tonight, according to Adjutant-General
Frank S. Dickson, it would find the men
and officers eager to go and prepared.
Governor Dunne said tonight that as

WASHINGTON. June 21. ReoorU
that American and Carransa troops had
clashed aroused gravest apprehensions
here tonight for future relations be
tween the United States and the Mexi
can de facto government, already
strained almost to the breaking point.
oniciaia declined to make any
prophesy as to the next sten of the
Washington Government, saying that
until details of the incident had been
cleared up it could not be determined
whether a crisis had been precipitated.
They made no effort to conceal their
anxiety, but were not ready to abandon
hope that an official account of what
happened at Carrizal would remove the
more threatening elements of the situation.
If it was a deliberate attempt to back
up the Carranza edict by force there
seems little doubt that President Wil
son will accept it as an act of war and
make good his word In the latest com
munication to the de facto government.
in which he said that any such attempt
would be followed "by the gravest
consequences."
Situation Graver Than Ever.
Whatever the outcome of the official
investigation, however, it was admitted
on every hand that the incident in it
self presented a grave menace to the
continuance of friendly relations and
brought the Mexican situation to per
haps the roost serious stage it has as
sumed in the many months of uncertainty.
President Wilson remained at bis of
fice until late tonight receiving such
meager information on the subject as
was available. Secretary Baker was in
close touch with the War Department
and the White House by telephone.
There was every evidence that cre
dence was given the report of the clash.
though the report came from Mexican
sources and there was full realization
of what it might mean.
