TROOPS RECALLED
FROM VERA Cruz
AMERICAN SOLDIERS AND MA
RiNEs WILL SAIL HOME UPON
ARRIVAL OF TRANSPORTS.
Action 10 Taken In View of the Entire
Removal Of the Circumstances
Which We're Thought to
Justify Occupation.

Washington.-Evac OF Vera
Cruz was ordered Tuesday by Prest
dent Wilson. American soldiers and
marines under General Funston, who
have held Mexicos principal seaport
since 1t was seized by the fleet April
81 last, will embark for home as soon

1t is the concluding chapter of the
second armed conflict between the
United States and Mexico, In which a
score of Americans lost their lives,
nearly hundred were wounded and
upwards of three hundred Mexicans
were killed or wounded.
The reasons for the step were set
forth In the following statement from
the White House:
The troops have been ordered
withdrawn from Vera Cruz. This 40
tion is taken In view of the entire re-
moval of the circumstances which
were thought to Justify the occupation.
The further presence OF the troops M
deemed unnecessary"
Specifically the American forces
we're withdrawn at the urgent appeal
Of General Carranza, first chief OF tne
oonstitutionalist army, who Is In
charge of the executive power In Mex
leo City. Through Paul Fuller, per
sonal representative of President Wi.
son In Mexico, General Carranza sci
forth that the presence OF American
troops instead OF being safeguard
against further revolution and peace
with the United States constituted
constant menace to friendly relations.
The Mexican chief contended-and he
was supported by Generals villa and
Obregon-that the Mexican people
would not understand the continued
presence of American troops on Mex
lean soil and would be bound to cher
ish resentment no matter how we'll
intentioned the American government
was or how acquiescent the Mexico
City administration itself might be.
Preparations were begun Tuesday
for turning the custom house at Vera
Cruz and the municipal government
over to the Mexicans again.
The troops at Vera Cruz under Gem
eral Funston including 1920 soldiers
and marines, are expected to begin
their departure in about two weeks
orders were sent Tuesday to trans.
ports now at Newport News and Gar
weston to proceed to Vera Cruz to take
the forces ON board. The transports
include the Sumner and KilpatricE
and the chartered boats City OF Dem
yer and Cristobal. Boats for carry
ing horses and freight are now as
Galveston.
The marines on duty at Vera Cruz
will be sent back to the warships ana
stations from which they were taken'
and the troops will be sent to Texas
City. where the Second army division
is stationed
Formal orders for the withdrawal OF
the ships In Mexican waters Will NOT
be issued for several days. These
ships include the battleships Virginia,
North Dakota, Arkansas, Delaware.
Kansas, Vermont and New York ana

AMERICAN TROOPS
TO QUIT VERA CRUZ

Washington, Nov. IS. - Confident
that the Mexican people can work out
their own destiny the administration
is rushing preparations to end Amer.
lean occupation of Vera Cruz.
Even though the worst comes to the
worst it is believed certain that one,
or at the most two, general battles
will decide which of the factions now
essaying power is to control pending
the restoration of real constitutional
government.
It is because of the realization that
presence of American troops in Mex.
leo is an ever present source of irri.
tation that American troops have been
ordered to leave Vera Cruz by Nov.
%.
Just who is to receive more than
100000 collected customs receipts
at the port of Vera Cruz will not be
decided for the present. Secretary
Bryan will insist upon protection OF
Americans and other foreigners. AS.
surances have been received of this
from the Aguas Calientes convention
and also from Carranza.

WEALTHY MAN ENDS LIFE
Millionaire Lumberman Kills Self In
St. Paul Hotel.

William Sauntry, one time lumber
king of the St. Croix river, shot and
killed himself in a room at the Ryan
hotel, st. Paul His body was found
by bellboy.
Nothing to explain his act was left
in the room or in his pockets by the
former millionaire lumber and coal
man.
No one heard the report of the re-
volver. The bullet entered the roof
OF Sauntry's mouth and passed direct
ly through the brain.
Mr. Sauntry, who was sixty-one
years old, arrived at Saltwater when
twenty years old. He entered the
lumber industry and for time drove
oxen in the lumber and logging camps.
His business ability brought him rap
idly to the front of the industry.
When the lumber industry began to
wane Mr.. Sauntry invested his money
in coal mines and in the iron fields of
Northern Minnesota.
In this industry he made the bulk of
