CARRANZA ISSUES DEFY TO U. S.

“Cross Border and Suffer Consequences,” Says Mex Head—Many Forced to Army by Starvation. Following the note from President Wilccn to General’ Carranza, head of the Mexican army, the latter still maintained a defiant attitude and stated that if any American troops crossed the border, even on the puny pretext of being after raiders and bandits, that his troops would open fire upon the American troopers. The anti-American feeling in Mexico is strong. All the reports from the U. S. agents during the .ast two or three days are to the effect that regardless of the feeling of General Carranza that the general feeling of Mexico is very bitter and are counted upon to demand that the presence of the United States troops 'be resisted. Occupation of Mexico by U. S. troops inevitable. The flat refusal of the Mexican leader to accede to the demands of * resident Wison means tnat drastic action must be uaken and that very soon. It is probable that open hostility will result between the two governments in the next few days. War or peace rests with General Carranza. The position of the United States is set forth pointedly on its review of the apparent inability to prevent border /aids and to keep the obligation he owes the world by the preservation of peace in his domin:ons. Chicago’s crack regiment, the hirst Cavalry, is on the move. At 9 o clock Tuesday night the men marched from the armory at North Clark street and went to the Union depot to entram over the Chicago & Alton for the mobilization camp at Springfield. At 10 o’clock their rolling stock, s standaid Pullman for the officers, thirty tourist sleepers for the men, sixteen box cars for the equipment, six flat cars for the wagons and five horse cars for the officers’ mounts, were ready and the active working of getting aboard. Reports from various parts of the country are telling of the enthusiasm and patriotism being shown by the young men of the country. Hundreds of men are joining in Chicago and Indianapolis also tells of the men volunteering their services.

Better buy a Cushman engine for your binder. You may not be able to get them later. See this engine at Hamilton & Kellner’s.
