Foreigners lives are reported to be
in danger in Mexico City, on account
of the fighting said to BE- i'll progress
between Carranza and Zapata forces
for possession Of the capital. Very pro
baby this is true. Foreigners have been
warned repeatedly to leave the city,
nd various opportunities given them

there and the city becomes the scene
of active fighting, naturally TO be cX-
pected under the circumstances. they
remain at their own risk. Foreigners
would be in danger in any city in
Europe which is situated in the war
zone. 1t is hardly to be- expected that
Uncle Sam should send an army into

to occur IN or about the city at any
moment, so long as the country is in a

the announcement of his determine
ton to sell his farm at Mission. Texas.
The Associated Press announcement of

press paragraphs on the subject has
