Mexican crisis. Apparently both the | United States Government and the de facto authorities of Mexico hope | to treat the clash at Carrizal on Wed- | nesday as an incident aggravating | gravely strained relations, but not of itself likely to precipitate general hos- | tilities. i 80 far as the Washington adminis- tration is concerned, no final decision | can be reached until President Wilson | has received a report on the fight | from American army officers.

Preparations by the War | Department for possible war with the | Mexican Government went forward | without interruption. At the same time there came hints that General | Carranza had been almost persuaded by European influénces not to per- sist in a course certain to bring'on a confhet. . It is known that many officials here have not abandoned hope of a peace- ful outcome, although they admit that each day since the present fric- tion began has seen new clouds gath- er. Their 'hopes against war are based solely on the reports that have reached them indirectly that the Car- ranza Government is inclined to seek a peaceful way out. Whatever the facts may prove to be when General Pershing's report arrives, it is certain that no steps to- ward reprisal will be taken at least until that report has been carefully studied. Requisition Ammunition. (Special to the Whig) Shamokin, Pa., June 23. --Sixteen carloads of ammunition, consigned to the New York port for the Allies, was requisitioned in the Northumberland yards to-day by army officers of the United States.

While declaring that they have rights under the Treaty of Paris and by the Act of Confedera- tion, a special emphasis has been laid upon their 'natural rights.' "What is this 'natural right' of which they talk so much? Is it any more than the.natural right the Rus- sians coming to Canada have to speak their language? No reasonable man in Canada will suggest for a moment that the use of the French language should be prohibited to any person wishing to use it. The same is true of Italian, Russian, Hungarian and any other foreign language.

They come here knowing that they are settling in an English-speaking province of Canada.
