At the request OF the state Depart
ment the army transport Sumner is to
be sent to Tampico at once to bring TO
Galveston several hundred Americans
who ind II impossible to remain longer
In Mexico and who have no other means
OF reaching their own country. Orders
for tho despatch of the Sumner from
Galveston were sent from the War De-
partment late to-day to the White House

The fighting in the Tampico district
for the last few weeks has forced the
American and other oil companies to
suspend or reduce their operati The
result has been the throwing out OF en-
ployment of hundreds OF Americans
The situation for the Americans has
been made the more uncomfortable by the
scarcity of food In Tampico, the depre-
citation OF the currency and practical
paralysis of business.
Already more than 800 Americans
have notified the United States Consul
at Tampico OF their desire to return to
the United states and their inability to
provide themselves with transportation.
II is expected that this number will be
largely increased when 1t Is learned that
an army transport with a capacity OF
1000 passengers is going to Tampico
