Is Increasing.
STATE DEPARTMENT
TAKES UP PROBLEM
American COnsuls and Warship Com.
manderS Given Instructions to Pro.
tect Americans and Foreigners
in Mexico.

! Washington. March 16.-The panic
which was produced in Mexico City
by the assassination there Of John D.
McManus, OF Chicago, by the Zapa-
tistas, has so increased that resident
Americans and other foreigners are
clamoring to Secretary of State
Bryan to be taken out of the city.
That there was widespread con-
sternation at the national capital on
the day of the murder was reported
officially to the state department.
Foreigners generally were in trap,
because Obregon. in retreating, con-
| trolled parts of the railroads, and
| Carranza controlled the railroads to
Vera Cruz. All railroad traffic had
been suspended.
Responding to the appeal of Amer
leans and foreigners today, Mr..
Bryan telegraphed the Brazilian min
lister at Mexico City to take up the
transportation question Immediately
with the Zapata authorities. He tele-
graphed also to CarranZa to take up
the question from the service end. so
that by agreement between the rebel
chieftains foreigners might get out of
the zone of danger.
The fact that Americans and for
eigners are now demanding to be al
lowed to get out was great surprise
to the state department because
statements here have been to the eff
feet that the trouhlo was blowing
| over, and that order had been restor-
ed.
1t appears, however, that the peo-
pie on the ground are aware of cir
cumstances that have not been made
public either in Mexico or at Wash
ington.
U. s. Protecting Foreigners
The state department has also
taken steps to safeguard foreign
interests at Manzanillo. The Amer
lean consul there has been instruct
ed to confer with the commander of
the Cleveland, which is off that port,
and to make the necessary represen-
tations to insure protection for all
foreigners.

he had received word from Mr.. SILL

The state department is informed
that the state of Guerrero, with the

now in the hands of the Villa forces.
Mr.. Bryan has been informed oy the
consul at Merida that conditions there
and at Progreso have impro' ed. The

LONDON, Oct. 21-The Daily Tel egraph today makes the statement that England had formally offered tentative prize to Greece, provid- ed that the latter country inter venes in the present conflict on the side of the Allies. While the state ment has not been officially con firmed, it is being taken at it's full value.
 The sisuatirn in the Fall,ans has been considered critical by many war experts and lends credence to the statement. With Greece in the field to meet the Bulgarians, the sit uation will be greatly relieved as it will permit the Allied forces to throw their strength in the way of the Teutons who are making progress toward opening up the road to Con stantinople.
