SAN FRANCISCO, June 20. National guardsmen up and down the Pacific ceast began today to assemble at the vari ous mobilization camps in response to the president's call for men for service on the Mexican border. About 10,000 militiamen in California, Oregon, Washington, Montana and Idaho will be mobilized within three or four days. All are ready and eager to entrain for the south. The Washington guardsmen will concentrate at American Lake on Wednesday or Thursday. The Oregon guardsmen be gan mobilizing at Clackamas range today. WASHINGTON, June 20. Secretary of State Lansing today published the text of the note which was sent to Carranza flatly refusing the demands of the de facto head for the withdrawal of United States troops from Mexico. It is the curtest note that Wilson has yet sent. The note threatens "the gravest consequences" if the Mexi cans attack the Americans. It excoriates Carranza's failure to cooperate and resents the bruskness of Carranza's demands. The note states : The de facto government has been pleased to ignore its obligation to protect American rights or chase ban dits, believing that in the case of a refusal by the United States to retire its troops there would be no further recourse than to defend Mexican territory by an appeal to arms. The United States would surely be lacking in sincerity and friendship if it did not impress upon the de facto government the fact that an execution of this threat will lead to the gravest consequences. The note bluntly informs Carranza that he cannot recede from the settled determination to maintain national rights and prevent further raids across the boundary. The note charges that the bandits have gone unhampered and unpunished. It recites a score of instances. It charges Carranza with indif ference and even with hating encouraged the bandits. It re sents the discourteous tone of Carranza's last note. The note begins: "I have read your communication on the presence of American troops in Mexico and I would be wanting in candor if I did not. before answering, express the surprise and regret It has caused this government by the discourteous tone and temper of the last communication of the de facto government.'' The note then reviews the three years of bloodshed and civil war. It details the attacks, on Brownsville. Red House ferry, Progresso and Las Aspeladas on last September, declar ing that Carranzista adherents and even soldiers, participated in the loot ing burning and killing. It sited the Santa Ysahel massacre j and the Columbus massacre and de- clued that the Carranxistas had ; brought none of these bandits to Jus I tlce.
