CARRANZA’S NOTE DEMANDS
WITHDRAWAL U. S. FORCES
WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 31.—
The Carranza note which was anti
cipated in yesterday’s dispatches
from Mexico city has been received.
The note demands the withdraw
al of the United States troops from
Mexico as evidence of good faith.
Pending the withdrawal Carranza
demands a definite explanation or
the reason for keeping the expedi
tion in Mexico.
The note recites the fact that
order reigns; that the Villr.tist?
have been reduced to submission
and a regular and constitutional
government is now established
throughout the country.
MEXICO CITY, May 31.—Great
interest nationally speaking is at
tached to the most recent note ot
the Mexican government to the
United States, the contents of which
have been made public. Practically
all the people sustain Carranza’s
attitude in the matter although a
peaceful settlement is hoped for.
EL PASO, May 31.—The idea is
apparently growing in both Amer
ican and Mexican circles on the
border that the maintenance ot the
American troops in Mexico in what
are practically permanent camps
, will ultimately lead to the outbreak
, of hostilities, between the two gov
! ernments. Everytihng points to a
permanent ooccupation.

DECLARE JAPAN ABOUT
TO PLAY TRUMP CARD
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 31.—
While it may be only a deliberate
preparations rumor, and the air
and the munitionist press is full
of these just now and and all of
which must be carefully received
and not too freely believed, state
ments are made relative to Japan
which are sensational In the ex
treme.
Officials declare that Japan is
now about to play its trump card
for Pacific Supremacy and Asiatic
predominance.
Japan proposes to leavo the con
trol of China open to the Unitea
States and an evidence of this in
tention is seen in the attempt made
to block the Japanese exclusion
clause. '
Japan will exorcise Its dominance
in China to perfect an agreement
whereby Japanese exclusion on the
American continent will be followed
by American exclusion in the
Orient.
It is right to state that no Japan
ese official is found to confirm this
sensational story.

the Italians and which were gained
after much fighting, are now prov
ing their value.
Generally the day’s fighting has
been favorable to Italy.
