WASHINGTON, D. C., July 4.—
The Carranza reply to the Wilson
note was received today by the Mex
ican Embassy here. It is described
ns a very temperate and unjingoistic
document and will indicate that
Carranza is determined to avoid a
break with the United States which
might lead to war, almost at any!
cost. The note suggests mediation I
or direct negotiations as the prefer
able means of settling the differ
j ences of the two countries rather
' than the use of force. The exceed
| ingly calm and dignified nature of
! the reply is irritating intervention
ists who fear that war will be
avoided.
This open impatience is manifest
in a number of comments made.
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 4.—
The army is preparing for a long
stay on the border. This was made
manifest by the enormous supplies
and the distribution of the troops
at the various points.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ July 4.—
Senor Arrendondo, the Mexican Am
bassador to the United States, says
that he will hand the Carranza re
ply to Secretary of State Lansing to
morrow. He declares that he feels
confident that the United States will
be completely satisfied with the Car
ranza statement which is clear and
explicit and quite without any ul
terior motive.
There is great hope that the
trouble is all over.

assisted by the entire executive
board was on hand to conduct the
ceremonies which were of an ela
borate nature.
Hardly a hitch occurred in the
day’s proceedings until President
Wilson began his speech to the un
ionists and those present at the at
tending ceremonies. Then the suff
ragettes interrupted with repeated
remarks the speech of Wilson, de
spite the efforts of the unionists to
maintain order.
The interuptions were clearly re
garded by President Wilson as a
very great annoyance.

strike and much of the work was

docks being called out. The fight
