W d9HllElou, MdItU J.- AlltGlCdQ citizens again have been warned to leave Mexico City in view of the crit. cal situation that has arisen there. Secretary Bryan announced tonight that transportation facilities would be sough for as many as desired to leave. The battleship Georgia and the armored cruiser Washington were ordered by Secretary Daniels to pro- ceed at once 10 Vera Cruz after con. ferences with President Wilson.
 Consular messages from Vera Cruz stated that it was reported there that the evacuation of Mexico City began last night.
 Enrique C. Llorente. Washington representative of General Villa, re. ceiyed a message saying the Zapata forces occupied Mexico City today immediately on the evacuation by Obregon's troops.
 Word came from American Consul Silliman that at a personal interview with General Carranza he had delv- cred to the latter the formal note from the United States government de manding an improvement in condi- tions for foreigners in the territory under his control
 Carranza promised a written reply soon but stated orally that General Oregon mad not prevented food sup plies from reaching the City of Mex. ico nor had he sent the available sup. plies from the capital
 These were the principal develop ments today in the Mexican situation. the importance of which over, shadowed in official Washington in. terest in the European war.
 Although the contents of the Ameri- can note to Carranza were not re vealed it's emphatic tone impressed members of the diplomatic corps that serious consequences would ensne if | arranza failed 10 heed the represen. tat!ons made to him. The United States in it's communication, it be. came known today, described condi- tions as "intolerable,' and called upon CarranZa to take the necessary steps to correct the situation The incendiary utterances of General ObregOn were noted by the American government as likely to stir up dan gerous feeling against foreigners, giv- ing rise possibly to riots and outrages.
 The note pointed out that if harm befcll any foreigners as result of the conditions that hal arisen. the American government would hold the Carranza officials personally respon- sible' and would take the necessary means to impose the responsiblity where it belonged. It was not in the nature of an ultimatum. President Wilson himself today declared that the United States did not utter ult,- mata but presented views and acted accordingly
 In view of this warning it was con- sidered' likely that the Obregon forces would not evacuate Mexico City with out arranging for some method of policing the city as the troops with drew. The reports that evacuation dad begun and that no disorders had arisen brought a feeling of relief to officials, who believed that Carranza would not fail to answer the Ameri- can government with the requisite ac tion for the protection of foreigners.
 In a sense there was an absence of apprehension in official quarters that drasic measures would be required to enforce the American note The of warships to Mexican waters and the warning to Americans it was admitted, however had been decided on out of an abundance of precaution.
 The entry of Zapata forces it was believed by officials. would relieve .he situation as it would mean the re- opening of communication north to the American border.
 Secretary Bryan was hopeful that the situation would solve itself with out the necessity of proceeding fur ther than the making of representa- tions. The sending of the warships to Vera Cruz. it was stated, on high au- thority. was for the purpose of con vincing Carranza of the determina- tion of the United States 10 take dras- tie steps if finally compelled by cir to do so.
