TWO HOPEFUL" FACTORS Activity of Transportation of National Guardsmen Shows No Relaxation Today. ( V AVtOCIATCO I WASHINGTON. June 29?Mexl- I an Ambassador Designate ArredonJo today received a message from Foreign Minister Aguilar confirming lhat First Chief C arrant a had issued orders to General Trevino to release the American troopers captured ut Carrizal and since held prisoners at Chihuahua City. Release of the American troopers ( hnn rptnovpil nnp ilnncerotiH element In the Mexican situation but It was apparent today it had only somewhat | relieved and had not removed the 1 grave menace to continuance of 1 friendly relation* between the United 1 j Ptntes and Mexico. T5y freeing the prisoner* General Cnrranza met only one demand made 1 by President Wilson. The other * that Carranza declare his future atlitudo toward the American forces In Mexico remains unanswered until the latest communication arrive* from Mexico City. It was expected 1 today. On the contin .ency that the Carranza government may continue it* policy of attacking American forceB moving in any direction except north, activities looking toward the! speedy transportation of the national guardsmen to the border! showed no relaxation today. There were two honeful factors in : the situation, however. First, whatever General Carranzn's answer may be It probably will require further diplomatic conversation and thus hostilities may be averted, at least temporarily. Second, many observers believed the yielding attitude of the Mexican government in the case Df the prisoners indicates a tendency which may be reflected in further leal ings. High officials of the administration let it he known that the United States ? would proceed with its military opera- i L J lions to adequately safeguard its citi- J ^ tens and territory and would continue I to pursue bandits in Mexico whenever j the. r was hope of overtaking them re-, gardless of any action Mexican mill-, tarv commander, may take. To free itself from the menace of an army mobilized on its northern frontier. the Mexican government must comply also with the demands that; It police adequately its border states and establish such firm military eon-1 trol there that raiding into the United States is improbable nnd the assembling of any large group of bandits | impossible. While such control Is lacking It is clearly indicated here that President, Wilson is determined by force if necessary to employ the army either along the line or in Mexico in such a way as to insure the safety of American lives and property.
