SHOWS DE FAGTOS ARE DOCILE (Treat Influence Iirought to Rear on First Chief to .Make Him Yield. TOLD THAT U. S. IS IN EARNEST Washington, D. C, June 28. An immediate break between the United States and the de facto government of Mexico has been averted with the American demand for release of the twenty-three troopers captured in the fight at Carrizal. Whether a state of war has been prevented or merely postponed, no one here would attempt to say tonight. Official information as to the attitude of General Carranza was lacking. Until his response to Secretary Lansing's note, dispatched Sunday, making two peremptory and distinct demands, is received, there will be no decision on whether President Wilson shall lav the crisis before. congress. Brings Much Belief. News of the release of the prisoners received early tonight in press dis patches, brought undisguised relief to iigh officials. It was accepted as a fact, although no announcement had come through official sources. More over, it was assumed that Carranza, impressed with the urgency of the situation, had ordered the captured cavalrymen started for the border without waiting for his announcement of the action to reach Washington. While it generally is conceded that this move lessens the tension and makes the crisis less imminent, no one conversant with the grave problem is losing sight of the fact that the all- important question of Carranza's at titude toward the American expedi tion across the border to protect the territory and citizens of the United States from bandit outrages remains unsettled. Situation Just the Same. If the de facto government stands upon the (orders to General Trevino to attack Pershing's men when they move otherwise than toward the bor der, the situation virtually is just what it was before, except that there now is a possibility of diplomatic ne gotiations that did not exist while the Americans were held prisoners in Chihuahua. The preparations of the United States for war will go steadily for ward. There will be no interruption of the rush of national guardsmen to the border and General Funston will continue disposition of the forces un der his command as though he expect ed an immediate attack from the Mexicans. The fact that Carranza has com plied with one of the demands is accepted by the more optimistic offi cials here as an indication that he is striving to prevent a break. Even though he shall again attempt to place all blame for the Carrizal affair upon the American officers and insist upon his right to forcibly oppose any ex cept northward movement of Amer ican troops, it is thought that possibly he will state his position in such a way as to make further discussion necessary. Freedom of Movement. Regarding any negotiations, how ever, the United States will insist on a freedom of movement of troops in Mexico and any attempt to interfere with them will bd met by such forces as is necessary. This will apply, too, to any period of delay, occasioned by attempting" to arrange mediation or arbitration. The possibility of Latin-American offers of mediation in the crisis again was widely discussed tonight. Ignacio Calderon, minister from Bolivia, will make a second call upon Secretary Lansing tomorrow to discuss the sub ject, lie will endeavor to ascertain for the benefit of himself and his col leagues whether tender of good offices by the South and Central American, republics would be entertained at this time. The minister said after his first conference with Secretary Lansing on Monday, that he understood the United States to be unwilling even to discuss the subject of mediation or arbitration while the captured Amer ican troopers remained in custody. Pressure Brought to Bear. It is known that powerful influences have been brought to bear on Car ranza in the last few days to make him at least turn over the American prisoners. Prominent Mexicans in the United States, as well as American bankers and business interests with influence in Mexican affairs, have flooded the first chief with messages. They all sent him the same warning that the United States government meant business and that to hold the prisoners would mean war. Last Word From Kodgers. The last word from Special Agent Kodgers at Mexico City, a message dated yesterday and received early to day, said he expected to be handed the note today. He gave no intima tion of what might be its contents. Removed from Prison. FA Paso, Tex., June 28. President Wilson's peremptory demand on Gen eral Carranza for the release of the merican prisoners held in Chihuahua penitentiary today met with compli ance. Late this afternoon it was an nounced from the comandancia in Juarez that the message had been transmitted over the Mexican tele graph, which stated that the twenty three negroes of the Tenth cavalry captured at Carrizal, with Lem II. Spillsbury, a Mormon scout, had been removed from prison. The message added that the men, with their arms 'and accoutrements, under heavy guard, had been placed on a Mexican Central train bound for Juarez, where they are expected to arrive tomorrow morning. Addressed to Bell. The telegram conveying this news was addressed to General George Bell, Jr., commander of the El Paso base. It was signed by General Jacinto Tre vino, commander of the Mexican mili tary district of the northwest, whose headquarters are at Chihuahua City. General Bell, in keeping with his custom of maintaining close secrecy regarding all military developments, refused to say whether or not he had received the message. He said that all announcements must come from General Funston at San Antonio. On receipt of word that General Funston had been given the contents of the message, it was said an escort would be sent to meet the prisoners in the morning, but that an officer would be delegated to take command of them and lead them to Fort Bliss. Mexicans Are Happy. Mexican officials tonight were happy over the turn in events. They de clared that his would mean a lessen ing of the tension of the last few days. General Francisco Gonzales, Juarez commander, and Andres Garcia, Mex ican consul at El Paso, both declared themselves optimistic of the future. "This shows that we don't want war unless it is forced upon us," said Mr. Garcia. It is expected that the arriving pris oners will form a happy party. Ac- qounts received at the border have been to the effect that the dusky troopers were a gloomy lot on their way to Chihuahua City. Only today a dispatch from that city quoted one of the prisoners as saying: "If we ever get back to God's coun try we don't want to leave there no more. STORE OPEN FROM 5 TO 8 P. M.

Hayes attended a meeting of the State Board of Educa tion in Kearney last week. Prof. Kies played a very delightful flute solo at convocation period on Friday. On Wednesday, the Men's Glee club sang two very pleasing numbers. Although many of the Glee club men left Peru this spring, the ranks have been well filled by former members who are back for the sum mer. The first baseball game of the sum mer was played on Friday afternoon, the Normal defeating the Peru city team with a score of 1 to 0. The game was a snappy one from start to finish. The Normal has some good baseball material, many men being avaiable who have played on former teams. Because of the Rural Education conference in session in Feru last week a convocation was held each day, making it possible for all stu dents to hear addresses given at that time. Among the speakers were II. N. Morse, national specialist on rural education problems; Prof. George W. Brown, head of the department of rural education; State Superintendent A. O. Thomas, and Prof. Clemmons of Frement college. Many visitors were in Feru last week; among them several alumni and others prominent in educational affairs of the state. Miss Eda Marquardt, county super intendent, was in Peru last week and was present at the first meeting of the Cass County club. At this time the following officers were elected. Mildred Snyder, president; M. Edna Shapp, vice president; Sophie Hild, secretary-treasurer, and Elsie Gapen, Ruth Cline and Gladys Marshall as a social committee. The organization is planning for some social event in the near future and are sure to have an enjoyable time as there are twenty-nine enroll ed from Cass county. We fell quite proud of the organization. On Monday evening a great treat was given the students and citizens of Peru, when Amy Emerson Neill, winner of the National Violinists con test, gave a concert as the second number of the entertainment course. This was a very delightful affair and such a one as Peruvians enjoy and appreciate to the fullest extent. President Hayes and Dean Rouse were in Omaha and Lincoln the last of the week. They were transacting business in connection with the new training school building. Prof. Paul Kies of Lincoln has been secured as teacher of violin for the summer school and will also give in struction on other orchestral instru ments. Many of the students are tak ing advantage of the opportunities which Peru affords for the study of music, large numbers having register ed for instruction in voice and piano.
