It Is un open secret In army circles
that the withdrawal of Major Anderson

"Gen. Parker carried out the orders

been received from the War Pepartment.
"He had puisued the banditH that
raided American territory, drlien them
from our soil, followed them to the other
side of the river, dispersed the band,
broke up their rendezvous and remained

CARRANZA SENDS AN ULTIMATUM;
SEVEN DAYS TO GET OUT OR WAR
JiJL PASO, June 18. Confidential advices were received here this
afternoon that First Chief Carranza hns sent an ultimatum to
President Wilson advising him that if American troops are not re
moved from Mexico within seven days a state of war will be con
sidered as existing between the United States and Mexico and that at
the end of the time stipulated all armed Americans remaining in Mex
ico will be treated as invaders.
WASHINGTON, June 18. President Wilson issued a call this after
noon to National Guard organizations of every State in the Union for
service on the Mexican border.
According to the last reports of the Division of Militia Affair of the
ar Department, the "paper" strength of the entire National Guard ox
cluspye of coast artillery was something over 117,000 enlisted men.
The total number of enlisted men called for in to-dav's summon.,
exclusive of signal corps and medical corps, is )3,ol8, divide'.! as follows:
Infant , fi I 1 C ... i . ...
""' --vniry,
1,040.
A though the purpose of the action as set forth in the fo.jnnl call
is for the protection of the American frontier from invasion, the opinion
prevails throughout Washington to-night that it ,,,,;, t!le p.r.1 sU-,, f

has exhausted every other expedient practically i an effort to avoid luch
Washington is the scene of intense excitement. The War Depart

In this connection grave fears arc expressed fur tile safety nl thu

and navy have jointly arranged for transpoits to lie ttisheil down the eas't
and west coasts of Mexico in the event of anti-Amei ienn out, aire... to take
off refugees who are able to make coast ports.
