DANGER OF OPEN BREAK NOT GREATLY LESSENED
Opinion Widespread That Release of Prisoners Does Not Alter Basic Reasons for Mobilization of Great Army Along Border.
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, June
Staff officers and departmental chiefs at General Funston's headquarters continued today the work of shaping the hourly increasing army for a possible offensive movement. Notification that General Carranza had ordered the surrender to American military authorities of the negro troopers captured after the fight at Carrizal was received with gratification, but it did not lower in the least the high pressure of military preparation. The opinion was widespread that the release of the prisoners had not altered the basic reasons for the mobilization along the border of a great army, and that the danger of an open break with Carranza's troops that parallel the international border had not been greatly lessened.  During the war, certain units of East Indian national guardsmen were expected to cross the State line during the day, and by night it was believed that a considerable part of the newly made army would be near stations along the border.
