El PASO, Tex.. June 22. Juarez to
fcight practically was evacuated by Car
rania troops, the Commandacia was al
most deserted, the wireless station was
Uismantled, the collector of customs
and General Francisco 'Gonzales, com

commanding the Carranza army of the
north at Chihuahua City. Several of
the trains, however, were halted with
in a score of miles of the city to await
Jurther orders.
Evacuation Is General.
Evacuation of the border points by
Carranzista garrisons had been gen
eral today, but in most Instances the
troops have been concentrated a few
miles south of the boundary awaiting
further developments. Mexican reports
tonight also eaid that practically all
the troops which have formed the
horseshoe curve stretching around Gen
eral Pershing's expeditionary com
mand have abandoned their stations in
the vicinity of Casas Grandee, El Valle,
Kamlquipa and Kan Antonio.
It is believed these forces have been
moved east to points whence they more
readily can effect junctions with Gen
eral Trevino's main command.
' The border tonight was marking time
awaiting the announcement from
Washington of the Government's at
titude after General Pershing's report
on the engagement is received. Stress
Is laid upon the fact that from the
time the first ragged, hatless, dusty
Mexican rode on a dustier mule into
Villa Ahumada yesterday afternoon
bearing the first news of the engage
ment, until early tonight, all infor
mation has come from Mexican sources.
Military authorities, however, clung
to the belief that some time during the
night General Pershing's report giving
the American version of the affair
would be received and would do much
toward relaxing the border tension.
It seemed fairly well established, how
ever, that the Mexican official reports
fixing the American losses at 12 dead
and 17 prisoners and the Mexican casu
alties at 14 killed and 30 wounded are
well founded.
When told that Washington, from
Information available, was inclined to
place responsibility for the Carrlzal
clash on the subordinate commanders
of both sides, Mexican Consul Garcia
here expressed great satisfaction.
"That has been my view from the
beginning," he said. "The fight Is a
detached incident that does not bear on
the main question, except insofar as
It may influence the two peoples."
Garcia') View Personal.
"Is your opinion that of your gov
ernment?" he was asked.
"I can't say," replied Mr. Garcia. "I
have not been instructed on this point.
I only repeat my personal view."
This view, however, is shared by all
the Mexican officials in El Paso and
Juarez.
Military censorship was tightened
noticeably all along the border tonight,
especially at the expeditionary base at
Columbus, where a censorship on the
telegraph and telephone lines has been
maintained since General Pershing
Grossed the frontier, March 15.
Newspapermen Are Arrested.
Mexican authorities in border points
also tightened the news censorship to
day and in two towns American news
papermen were taken temporarily into
custody by military authorities.
J. C. Johnson, formerly of Dallas,
Tex., and now attached to the staff of
a local paper, was arrested in Juarez,
while Thomas W. Cannell, of Los An
freles, a press correspondent, was de
tained in Nogales, Sonora. Both were
released shortly upon representations
from the American commanders in the
border towns opposite and neither suf
fered any discourtesies.
A message from General Alvaro
Obregon, Mexican minister of war, con
taining a denial of the reports that he
had Issued a statement today saying
he was responsible for the Carrizal en
gagement and had ordered the Mexican
. force to attack the Americans, was re
ceived at the military quarters in
Juarez tonight. It is asserted that the
war minister knew nothing of the en
gagement until he received official re
ports last night and pointed out that
his subordinate commanders acted en
tirely upon their own initiative in the
action.
Streetcar traffic from El Paso to
Juarez, which continued uninterrupted
last night, was stopped about 9:30
o'clock tonight.
Approximately 1000 Mexicans crossed
the river into El Paso tonight, a num
ber of them being persons who fled to
the Mexican town immediately upon
the receipt of the news of yesterday'
engagements. Many well-to-do resi
dents of Juarez crossed, riding in their
private carriages, asserting that they
would feel safer on the American side.
CARR.VXZA TROOPS CLOSER
General Pershing Taking All Pre
cautions With Outposts.
FIELD HEADQUARTERS. June 21.
via Radio to Columbus. N. M., June 22.
Carranza troops have been reported
close to the southern end of the Amer
ican lines.
General Pershing is maintaining
strong outposts in every direction and
taking every precaution to prevent
trouble arising.
The American troops, after three
months of campaigning, are in niagnif-ict-nt
form for any sort of work.
This report Is taken to mean that
the towns of Casas Grandes. Colonia
Dublan and El Valle are free of Car
ranzlstas. Intense activity on the part of offi
cers and men here is noticeable. The
aero squad is making every effort to
eend biplanes south to the expedition
tndav
Mexican Consul Sandoval has been
ordered by his government to report to
Juarez. He left with his family today.
Carranzistaa are mounting artillery
n the hills above Cruces Canyon, ac
cording to apparently reliable reports
here tonight.
Command of this canyon, which
passes the American motor trail, would
enable the Mexicans to menace Gen
eral Pershing's supply trains. It is
Relieved It la at this point that sniping,
which a recent message from Lieutenant-Colonel
r. C. Babell said was pos
sible, is most greatly feared.
Other reports here indicated that
Carranza agents who offered amnesty
to bandits operating south of Nami
quipa in return for their services to
the de facto army have met with little
success. The bandits, in the main, it
was said, replied to the overtures say
ing they preferred to operate independently.
COLUMBIA NOW 23 FEET
River Is Washing Sand Fill Away
and Slay Delay Work.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. June 22. (Spe
cial.) The Columbia River is now at
23 feet and is rising rapidly. The
river at this point is nearly three miles
wide and higher than it has been for
several years.
Considerable damage may be done to
the big fill across Haydes Island, as
hundreds of yards of sand of the fill
have already fallen into the water.
Concrete slabs were built on the up
stream side of the fill to protect it,
but the water is so high that the slabs
are several feet under water. In many
places grass has been grown on the
side of the fill and, where this has
happened, it is almost safe from the
action of the high water.
Work on paving the main spanB on
the Oregon side is going ahead and the
last or sixth span is now being paved.
The erection of the towers for the
draw span has started and four up
rights have been placed in position, two
at each end of the draw span. This
must be completed and the draw in op
eration before the other four spans.
now nearing completion, can be floated
to position so that traffic in the Colum
bia River will not be delayed.

STEAM IN MAINS RELEASED
Northwestern Company Takes Pre
cautions Against Water.
In order to release steam generated
by the rising water coming in contact
with steampipes of the Northwestern
Electric Company it has been found
necessary by the company to open man
holes in various parts of the down
town district.
Every effort is being made by the
Northwestern Electric Company to pre
vent any interference with its steam
heat or electric supply systems because
of the unusual high water, according
to announcement made by heads of the
concern yesterday.
The company has laid in a supply of
electrical attachments so that in case
the water gets high enough' to inter
fere with connections new ones will
be immediately put In high enough to
be above water.
FIREMAN HURT AT BLAZE
Automobile Burns and Car Said to
Hare Delayed Engine 9.
An automobile, the property of Hor
ace Armlshaw, shoe dealer of 825 Wash
ington street, was badly damaged by
fire at 10 o'clock last night at East
Thirty-fourth and Caruthers streets.
Mr. Armlshaw was trying to light the
tail lights of the machine when it is
supposed a match dropped in the drip
pan, igniting the oil. The body of the
car was almost entirely burned, the
engine being saved.
Engine 9 answered the call to the
fire and firemen say they were de
tained by a Mount Scott car. Lieuten
ant Francois, of Engine 9, was slightly
burned.
RUSSIANS CAPTURE TOWN
Radautz, 30 Miles South of Czerno
wltz. Is Taken.
PETROGEAD, via London. June 22.
The War Office today announced the
capture of the town of Radautz, in
Bukowina, 30 miles south of Czerno
witz. LONDON-. June 22. An Austrian of
ficial statement received here today re
ports the failure of all attacks by the
Russians in Volhynla. The Austro
German forces, according to the state
ment, have made progress north of
Gorochow, near Sokul, and in the vi
cinity of Kolki.
MEXICANS ARE ACCUSED
(Continued From First Pag?. ,
the Mexicans began the attack. sweeD-
ing the American line with a machine
gun.
"It was not until then, according to
the stragglers, that the American com
manders gave orders for both troops
to dismount and return the fire.
General Pershing said that before
the Americans left on the expedition
both he and Major Evans, of the Tenth
Cavalry, cautioned the commanding of-
in ie ery carerui not to provoke
a fight.
. General Pershing had received no
news of the two squadrons of the Elev
enth Cavalry he sent out this morning
to get in touch with the troops that
were at Carrlzal. Staff officers here
calculated that the relief party should
reacn tne remnant of the little de
tachment late tonight or tomorrow
morning. It was assumed that because
the two troops were returning with
their wounded progress was necessar
ily slow and that the relief party would
have to travel almost the entire dis
tance from the main line of communi
cations to Carrizal, some SO miles.
General Funston appeared impressed
with the sincerity of the story brought
in by the stragglers, but said that it
would not cause him to send any new
instructions to General Pershing or to
any of the border commanders. The
report will be in Washington before
morning.

DREADNAUGHT IS ADDED
SENATE SUB-COMMITTEE FAVORS
SEVES CAPITAL. SHIPS.
Proposed Increase In First Year'a Ad
ditions to Navy Expected to Have -Wilson
Support.
WASHINGTON. June 22. The Senate
sub-committee considering the naval
Dill reached a tentative agreement to
day to recommend a building pro
gramme or lour battle cruisers and
three dreadnaughts for the coming
year as part of a five-year construction
policy, substantially the same as that
drawn by the Navy general board.
As It passed the House the bill pro
vides for only five capital ships, all of
them battle cruisers, for next year, and
contains no provision for a building
policy extending into the future. , In
creases over the House authorizations
nave been urged upon Senate leaders
by President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels, and it is expected that the
programme decided on today will have
the backing of the Administration when
the bill is brought in.
The nve-year programme of the sub
committee calls for 16 capital ships, the
last to De laia aown in 1920. In vir
tually all other particulars it follows
the general board programme except
for the first year. The general board
programme of four dreadnaughts and
three battle cruisers for 1917 Is changed
to three dreadnaughts and four battle
cruisers, while two fleet submarines
in the board s programme for the year
are eliminated.
The sub-committee also has agreed
to an appropriation of 13.500.000 for
aeronautics.

WAR'S TRAGIC SIDE SEEN
WIDOW OF fS BRAVELY GIVES TWO
SONS TO GUARD.
Woman Tells Drill Sergeant Bays
Father Died la Cuba and Grand
father at Gettysburg.
CAMP WITHYCOMBE, Or., June 22.
(.Special.) All is not glory and fun
at Oregon's mobilization camp for the
National Guard. Occasionally an inci
dent occurs that brings the stern real
ity of war close to- the boys in khaki,
and then for a moment there are moist
eyes and thoughtful faces. Such an in
cident Happened this afternoon.
In one of the open company mess
tents sat a gray-haired woman, all
alone, on the hard wooden benches.
silently watching the awkward squad
just outside being put repeatedly
through the manual of arms. For an
hour and a half the Drill Sergeant la
bored with the men and finally he
singled out two. placed them before
the squad and had them go througn
tne gun movements alone.
"There," he said, "that's the way, to
15
do it- These two boys have learned It;
why can't the rest of you do the same?
Now we'll try it again."
While the balance of the squad made
renewed efforts to master the move
ments required of them, the two who
had. been picked aa examples walked
over and took their places on either
side of the silent woman, who had sat
and watched them for so long. They
said but little to her, and she said
nothing to them she simply looked at
them, as if her eyes would never see
enough of them.
Later the drill sergeant, noting the
group, came over himself.
"Your boys will make fine soldiers,
madam." he said.
The quiet, still woman, with the gray
bair, raised her eyes to his and. smiled
wanly.
"They ought to. sergeant," she 'said,
"their father died fighting tor his coun
try in Cubs, and their grandfather was
killed at Gettysburg."
The drill sergeant squared his shoul
ders, stood stiffly before the woman,
and saluted. And as he turned away
he rubbed hla hand across his eyes
perhaps some dust had blown into
them.

RAILS SLIDE INTO SOUND

4O0 Feet, aad Tralaa Now Take
Another Rente.
SEATTLE, Wash, June 22. Great
Northern railroad tracks and telegraph
wires were carried away for a dis
tance of 40o feet two miles north of
Richmond Beach late today by a slide
of earth that shot down the precipitous
bluff on the east side of the track. The
slide had such force that it carried the
rails and wires 300 feet into Puget
Sound. The cause of the slide Is un
known, as the ground in that vicinity
was comparatively dry.
All Great Northern trains are being
routed over the Northern Pacific be
tween Seattle and Everett. All the
equipment for clearing the tracks is
east of the mountains, ana some aeiay
will be experienced before repair work
can be started.
The depth of the slide ranges from
20 to 40 feet, and is perhaps one of
the most serious earth slides ever ex
perienced by the railroad company in
that district. At the point where the
slide occurred the roadbed extends
along a narrow grade with the bluff
on one side and Puget Sound on the
other.
