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.

FROM PERU NORMAL.
President D. W. 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.
Flag day was very fittingly ob
served at the convocation period last
