WITHDRAWAL IS SUGGESTED IN CARRAMZA NOTE Lengthy Note Delivered to State Department Asks That Date Be Fixed for Departure of U. S. Troops. REMOVAL IS ASKED TO SHOW GOOD FAITH Presence of American Sol diers on Mexican Soil s Cause of Suspicion, Claim Washington. May 31. . N. S.) note requesting the immediate with drawal of American troops from Mex ico was received at the state depart ment today from General Venustlano Carranza, head of Mexico's de facto government. It was delivered to Sec retary of State Lansing by Mexican Ambassador Arredondo. The text of the document was given a representative of the Inter national News Service by Arredondo. "The note," said Arredondo. "de mands a definite explanation -f tli3 purpooe of the United States in keep ing: troops In Mexico. General Car ranza says that in his Judgmen.. tlier-i lit no reason for thlr being ther. Troop Contradiot Claim. "General Carranza points out that President Wilson has.' repeatedly -declared that he did riot desire war with Mexico, but the administration by de laying the withdrawal of the troops really Is contradicting its proteeiatlonsT of friendship. "Carranza says If the United States' assurance of friendship Is sincere the troops will be withdrawn Immediately snd the attitude of the United States and the course It la pursuing- leave loom for suspicion as to its real inten tions. "There also follows a lengthy dis cussion of the duty which falls on both governments In patrolling; the border find places the blame for recent laids squarely on the United States government. Troop Should Stay on Our Bids. "He says the matter of patrolling ths frontier is the duty of both gov ernments, but that the troops should remain in their respective territories. One of the glaring faults of the pretty ent patrolling system is that of leav ing unprotected such places as Gler. Hprings. This Is pointed out in the note as an illustration of the failure of present methods. General Carranza also makes It plain that he lears further invasion so long as American troops remain in Mexico. Arredondo was at the state depart ment but a few minutes. The note was written In Spanish and is being trans lated. Asks Data Bet Bet. General Carranza asks that a date in the immediate future be set for with drawal Of thu troops. Both the state and war department officials believe the note will bring the Mexican situa tion to a heud. There was no attempt to disguise the belief that Carranza in tends to make a show of force in an teffort'to make the United States an swer Immediately. The action the administration will take is problematical. While it has been frequently stated that the troops Will not be withdrawn at this time, it kvas pointed out that the way has been tpaved for partial withdrawal. The killing of Cervantes and the dispersal bandits makes It too easy to say that he expedition's purpose has been ac complished. The note is lengthy, detailing the whole situation, beginning with the IVtUista raid on Columbus. It is now kdmltted that Special Agent Mendez the constitutionalist government rbughv the note.

These prlnc.ples are preparedness and Americanism. This declaration was but o.t sen tence in a talk burning with variolic condemnation of President Wilsj.i's at titude on preparedness and mi.ltary service. Roosevelt's auditors variously inter preted his remarks as indicating a readiness to amalgamate with the Re publicans if they support his belief. or a determination to again herald those principles through a third party. Denounces the President. Not in months has Roosevelt been .sc denunciatory as in his treatment of the president's beliefs expressed in his Arlington national cemetery speech yesterday. He scored Wilson's "uni- veiBai voluntary service, declaring the word "voluntary" was within tlio srope of utterances Roosevelt had pre viously characterized as "weasel words." "Universal voluntary service would have exactly the effect of acid on al kali," cried Roosevelt. "The words neatralize one another." President Wilson's phrase, "compul sion of the spirit of Americanism," also angered the colonel. He compared this plan of military service with a truant school child law, under which children would have to attend classes "if they wanted to." Criticises Bryan and Tord. "If we trust to compulsion of spirit." he said, "we are going to pu. a double burden on the sons who have been raised to be brave and die for the countVy If necessary, while other sons stay at home." Roosevelt classified Bryan and Ford as "nice, amiable iren, whom I like to see in private life." He vehemently branded as an infamous falsehood the charge that munitions makers were be hind the preparedness movement-. Roosevelt assailed the presidenfCpr yesterday's reference to weak and small nations as having equal rightJ with the large and strong, and holding Concluded un Pane Fifteen.
