FIRST CHIEF STANDS
UPON HIS DIGNITY
cARRANZA MAKES BID FOR
RECOGNITION OF FOREIGN
GOVERNMENTS.
Issues an Order That All Communi
cations to His Government From
Outside Sources Must Pass
Through Him.

Washington.-Gen Venustiant
Carranza, as first chief of the consti
tutional army, notified the world OF
Sunday that all communications to
his government from outside sources
must pass through him. If directed tc
any general, he said, they must be re
ferred to him, anyhow. Carranza'F
decree reached Washington through
Rafael Zubaran Capmany, his minis.
ter of the interior, who telegraphed
it to Eliseo Arredondo, Carranza's 10
cal representative.
The order apparently will make n
impossible for diplomatic representa-,
tives of foreign governments to dea,
with the Carranza government, ex.
cept by going to Vera Cruz, which
they have been unwilling to do, lest
such action be construed as forma.
recognition. Already most of the dip
lomats at Mexico City have asked
their governments for permission tic
leave when the situation becomes in
tolerable and some of them have been
advised to use their own discretion
The order may affect the activity oil
American consular representatives
who heretofore have dealt with the de
facto government whatever it happen
ed to be.
