CARRANZA CLOSES
PORT OF VERA CRUZ
State Department Doesn't Regard AC-
tion as Unfriendly-Might Shut
Out Food Supply. ....-

81 WASHINGTON, Sept. Provisional
President Carranza has ordered the
port of Vera Cruz closed, according to
official adviccs to the American gov
ernment. Gen. Funston transmitted a
long report on the complications which
might result, but state department Of
icials were not inclined to regard it as
an unfriendly action.
During the Huerta regime, Vera
Cruz was similarly closed, but foreign
vessels paid little attention to the or
der. Carranza s decree would prevent
Mexican ships from putting in at
Vera Cruz and if enforced in an un-
friendly way, might exact heavy pen
alties from foreign vessels entering any
other Mexican port after they touched
at Vera Cruz.
Gen. Funston called attention to the
possibility that foreign shipowncrs, dc-
string not to incur the displeasure of
the Carranza administration, might hes
itate to send cargoes to Vera Cruz, di
minishing the food supply of the city
In some quarters there was a dispo
sition to regard Carranza : attitude as
one of resentment against the contin-
ued occupancy of Vera Cruz by Ameri
can troops, bur state department of
icials did not share this view. An in
terruption in railway traffic between
Vera Cruz and Mexico City recently
occurred. but as soon as Gen. FunstoI
announced that he would keep all roll
| ing stock in Vera Cruz until traffic wa
resumed, the Mexican authorities ex
| planned that they were using the train
| to transport troops and Immediately al
| iusted the schedules.
Paul Fuller, personal rcpresentativ
| Of President Wilson. is due in Mcxic,
| City Friday to discusse with the gov
| ernment those questions relating to tn
American occupancy Of Vera Cruz a
| wCll as differences between Carranz
and Villa. Although administration OF
| cials have not announced their pos
| tion in any formal way, it is general
| understood that recognition Will b
withheld until a complete agreement be
| tween the two chieftains has bee
reached and arrangements made for
| constitutional election.

MOBILIZATION OF
THE TURKISH ARMY
Seventy Two German Officers Will Be
in Command-First Line of 100000
Soldiers.

ROME, Sept 1, via Paris, 1.20 p. NJ
4 telegram received in Rome from Berlin
announces the mobilization of the Turkish
army. Following the advice of Field
Marshal Baron y on der Goltz, it is stated
that the Turkish government will form an
army of the first composed of only 2OO,-
900 men, all Mohammedans.
Seventy-two superior German officers
forming the military mission at CONSTANT
npple have been incorporated in the Turk
fish army and viii participate in the war.
The presence of the German officers in
the army is interpreted to mean that Tur-
lkey will fight on the side of Germany.
