That was the reply made by Secretary of State Lansing to a committee representing the Latin-American republics, accompanied by Senor Orlno, the Spanish ambassador who called on him today. Lansing explained that all the department yet knew about the release of the prisoners had been gathered In an unofficial manner.

WAY TO FRONT WITH FINE BRAND OF PATRIOTISM At least eight thousand Richmond people cheered, petted, praised and even cried over thirteen hundred manly looking youngsters and grey, stern-faced veterans of a New York National Guard regiment, the famous "Fighting Seventh,' which passed through Richmond in three special Pennsylvania trains, yesterday afternoon and evening, enroute to Brownsville, Texas, and, they all hoped, a campaign in Mexico. It was a royal and loyal welcome to Indiana for the eastern soldier boys, and the Richmond crowds were just as proud of these fine looking chaps as though they were all Hoosiers.

"Hey, mister, will you shake hands with me?"

This was the request of a bare- j

footed youngster of seven year to one of the troopers. "Sure I will," responded the guardsman. "Put er here," yelled six or seven more troopers. Happiness beamed from every line of the boy's face.

WRIST WATCHES WORN BY BOYS IN KHAKI SUITS

Why the wrist watch? This question was asked several thousand times yesterday when the soldiers passed through here. Almost every man was equipped with a bracelet watch. There is no watch pocket in a soldier's uniform except in the trousers high up under the coat. This makes

WASHINGTON, June 29. Wth the immediate crisis, caused by the retendon as prisoners of war of the survivors of Troops C and K of the Tenth cavalry, relieved by their release, the United States waited today for Carranza to outline his attitude toward the American expedition still on Mexican soil. The general Mexican situation was less acute. But whether it will yield itself to diplomatic adjustment or whether force of arms must be resort

ed to depended entirely on the de- j velopments of the next few days. i

So far as the release of the prisoners is concerned. Ambassador Designate Arrendondo explained at noon to

day that he would this afternoon file I

message from the Mexican foreign i fairs office, say that they had be

sent to American territory. President Wilson considered

The suggestion has been made that the girls of the city meet the trains with boxes of fudge and candy. Another suggestion that has met a cordial reception is the giving of a souvenir postal card to each trooper on which he can send back messages to his relatives. Military orders prevent the boys from leaving the coaches. A systeraatio course of procedure will be mapped out.
