.message from Pershing received by
General Funston late today contained
additional information 'relative to the
dispatch of two squadrons of cavalry
in the direction of the troop engaged
yesterday near Carrizal, but no news
of the fight.' No 'courier from the
troop had yet reached him.

of 4.7 guns,' capable of throwing a
lixty-pound'explosive six miles, point
ed their noses threateningly over El
Paso in the direction of Juarez to
day while developments in the situ
ation arising frSm the battle of Car-
ffizal were awaited., V.
Stationed on Golden hill; at an el
evation permitting a sweeping view of
4 the' Mexican side of the Rio Grande

the remoter stations the remainder of

With every precaution .taken, how
ever, for the protection of the city,
hope continued to be, expressed that
the tension- might abate. No shot
will be .fired from this side of tht
international boundary until hostile
action is initiated -on the other side.

"It's probably :'the last night we'll
spend in Omaha for a long while-
maybe it's the last, night forever! for

Some -inspired "rook" yelled this
just after the four companies of the
militia had been excused after 6 o'clck
mess. The -idea "took" like -wild fire.
- The boys made it a good night, with
various significance to the emphasiz
ed word "good." - :
Some of them went home and spend
the-last night in Omaha with their
parents, or sweethearts, others foam
ed -about downtown, gaily mingliqg
with the crowds and parading ttheir
.uniforms, and' still others cut loose
for a rip-roaring hot old time. M '
- Many Places tSo Sleep. ". '
Along about midnight, - however,
nearly all weroquartered at the Arm
ory at Twentieth and Harney. Here
the boys slept upon their blankets on
the floor-and on the roof, when prac
tical jokers allowed them. A few slept
at home, and promised faithfully to
report at 6:45 o'clock this morning.
At 7 o'clock, the four companies will
assemMe in the street, and parade
downtown. At 9:15 they will entrain
at the Burlington depot, where spe
cial cars will cary them to the mobili
zation camp at Lincoln.
None of the four companies is t)p to
full war strength, but yesterday afr
ernoop was marked by a rush of re
cruits, among them being several for
eign born young men, one of whom
was a ' German who could scarcely
speak English.
They were all assigned to the com
pany of their choice and the quarter
master dealt out supplies to them.

"A week ago Company C, of which
E. C. Todd is captain, was almost up
to war strength. Late yesterday, after
nearly twenty young men - had ex
pressed preference for 'Todd's com

"I gave the company a good clean

am- responsible for the company, so
I got an honorable discharge for

t "Should this iituatyn eventuate

use every honorable effort to avoid,
I take this opportunity to inform you
that this government would havejor
its object not intervention in Mex

consequences .which might result
fro msuch a policy, but the defense
of American territory from" further
invasion by bands of -armed Mex
icans, protection of American citizens
and property' along the :, boundary
from outrages committed by ' such
bandits, and the prevention of future
depredations by force of arms against
the marauders infesting this region
and against a government which is
encouraging and aiding them in their
activities. -- - ',

The text ofxthe statement says: '
"On both banks of the Meuse last

followed bombardments of great se

tacked our trenches upon the southern

in retaining all their positions.
"On the right bank the fighting

tack penetrated a wood southeast of
the Fumin wood. We delivered a
counter attack and chased the enemy
out. At about midnight a further of
fensive action was directed upon our
positions reaching from' the Fumin
wood to a point to the east of Chenois,
and was repulsed- with sanguinary
losses. . i .- ' ' . ,
"At the Fumin wood and at Cheois

N Washington, D. C June 22.
While the government had no official
confirmation early today of Mexican
reports that American and Mexican
troops were in a battle yesterday,
with heavy losses, on the American
side, there was t stir of grim pur
pose about the Wlar and State de
partments. , .' . ' . , ,
Secretary Baker conferred with
President Wilson i nnd , Secretary
Lansing regarding reports given out
by Mexican commanders atihe bor
der.' Afterward Mr. Baker hastened

the. congressional militmry-xommit-tee
chairmen. He submitted to
Chairman Hay of the heuse commit
tee a resolution authorizing the pres
ident to draft National Guardsmen
willing to Hake the federal oath ifito
the regular army immediately. Chair
man, Hay will call up the resjlution
tomorrow. v v -
. Officials said President Wilson
would await a definite report of what
has happened from General Pershing.
It was not expected until late today,
as the town of Carrizat, where the
fighting was Said to have occurred,
is sixty miles or more from General
Pershing's advance base at . Nami
quipa. ,- i
Policy Is Unchanged, j
At the White House it was said
the president's policy was Unchanged
for the present at least, and that
Mr. Wilson had ho intention .of go
ing before congress immediately.
Stories .of the fight seem, to indi
cate that' the Americans were am
bushed and suffered their chief losses
from machine gun fire.
It is presumed General Pershing
promptly dispatched . reinforcements
to aid the cavalry detachment
Secretary Baker said no marching
orders had gone to National Guard
units. Nothing could .be done, he
declared, until a report from- Amer
ican sources had been received. , '
There were no efforts' to conceal
the anxiety with which the situation
was viewed. There is enough simi
larity among the border reports to
convince them that a serious clash
occurred, whot'ver may have been the
aggressor and whatever the outcome,
it has brought .war with Mexico so
close that officials say any hour may
see the conflict in full swing. .
Doubt Americans Aggressors. -
Reports from Mexican sources tell
ing of the .clash, but not disclosing
Ame.ican casualties, were accepted by
c".cials as fairly authentic, although
none would believe-that the Amer
icans made the first attack.
Pending receipt of General Fun
ston's report, President Wilson con
sidered the situation serious. He was

American Losses Heavier..
El Paso, Tex.,. June ' 22. The
Americans who enassed the Carran
za soldiers in battle at Carrizal yes
terday were heavier losers than the
Mexicans, according to reports issued
by the Mexican consulate in El Paso
today. '
The Mexican claim is that white
fourteen of their number, were killed
and thirty wounded, .the Americans
suffered an even dozen killed and lost
seventeen as prisoners. In addition
they say the Americans had an un
known number of wounded which
they carried off with them.
They point put also that while the
Carranza commander, General Felix
Uomez, lost his lite,, the American
leader also .was-killed. . - s .' -.
Uncertainty regarding the identity
of the commander , of the American

Swedish Trade Journal Says
Germany is Nearing Starvation
' Stockholm, June 21.--(Via Lon
don, June 22.) The Swedish Trade
Journal Affarsvirlden, representing
the best business interests in Sweden,
today prints a remarkable editorial
commenting on the war, in which it
says it is time for the Swedes to re
alize that the outcome cannot be fa
vorable to the central powers. The
food questions says the newspsper,
will decide the war, and it declares
that the bad situation in Germany is
responsible for the "reckless offensive
at Verdun and the recent attempt to
win a naval battle." ' , ' .,
The article says: j
"The food situation in Germany is
bad) and much worse than the Swed
ish people generally think. Swedish
conceptions as to how peace will be
concluded have not taken sufficiently
into consideration the importance of
the -campaign of, starvation against
Germany. - - - -
"The central powers cannot obtain
a peace advantageous to them. It is
said in a long German article regard
ing the central disposition of food
that the butchers are unable to supply
more than one-third the normal quota
and that Germany in the very near
future must feed Its people chiefly on
vegetables.' Even if it is possible to
train the,' population to a vegetable
diet, this cannot be done unless there
is plenty of bread, butter and eggs
and turnips, beans and such other
vegetables, but none of these, not
even potatoes, can be had in the quan
tities the peiple require .them. Es
pecially there seems to be a lack of
bread, beans, peas,-butte.', eggs, rice,
oats and all the nourishing vegetarian
foods. -As a matter'-of fact, there is
greater lack of these than of meat."
Swedish business interests in these
sections are friendly to Germany, and
many years of trading with that coun
try has outweighed that of any other,
ar.d this article in the representative
trade journal warning business men
as to the outcome of the war is re
garded here with much interest .' .
Columbus,. N. M. June 22. The .
troops, of the Tenth cavalry, which
clashed with Carranizistas yesterday
at Carrizal, held the field for five
hours before retreating, although they '
were outnumbered five' to one, ac
cording to unofficial reports here to-night.-
The report said that the Amer

Mexican reinforcements were brought
up. '. .

Arab Kebels Take
Holy City of Mecca v
London, June 22. Reports have,
been received here that a serious up
rising against the Turks is in progress ' ,
in Arabia and that the rebels have
captured the holy city of Mecca. 1
The London newspapers declare -that
the rebellion is certain to have
an important bearing on the war, es- -pecially
as regards the participation'
of Turkey. -ThrfTost says:
"The uprising is due to recent
wholesale executions of Mohamme
dan and Syrian ' notables and well
known religious leaders, and also to
the spread in Arabia of a feeling that
the Turks have abdicated their posi
tion as the protector of the Moham- -medans
and have become the vassals i
of Germany." . ,
The Graphic says:
""The revolt is a smashing blow at
Turkey, and the capture of Mecca is
an event which, will shake Turkish
prestige to .its foundations." x
A Reuter dispatch from Cairo says
the rebels, in addition to taking
Mecca, have captured Jiddah, the '
chief seaport of Arabja, and Taif,
sixty-five miles southeast of Mecca,
and have proclaimed independence of
the Arabs from Ottoman rule. ' N
It is said the garrisons of Mecca,
Jiddah and Taif, surrendered with
the exception of two small forts at
Taif, which are still resisting. At
Jiddah fdrty-five officers,' 1,400 men
and six guns were captured. Medina,
248 miles northwest of .Mecca, which ;
contains the tomb of Mohammed, is J
closely besieged, and all .communica-
tions to Hejas are in the hands of the''
grand sherif. : . ,
