By ROBERT J. BENDER.

WASHINGTON, June 30.—Danger
of war with Mexico Is waning fast,
officials believed today, as President
Wilson awaited the reply from Gen.
C’arrauza to his note threatening
“grave consequences” If the Ameri
can expedition was attacked.
But, despite this belief, militia
men continued to pour steadily
southward toward the border. The
administration Ls by no means cer
tain that It may not have early need
for the troops.
A United Press dispatch from Mex
ico City, stating that Carranza’s re
ply was about completed, was read
with Interest at the White House.
The president hopes to have the
communication in his hands possibly
before he addresses the New- York
City Press club tonight.
The Mexico City dispatches, re
porting the belief there that the
Carranza reply will avert war,
buoyed up hopes for a peaceful set
tlement. The arrival of the Ameri
can prisoners in El Paso and the
