MEXICO CITY RETAKEN
Gonzales Troops Recapture Capital
With But Little Resistance
by ViiIistas.

Washington. Aug. 3.-The reoccupa.
tion of Mexico City Saturday night by
the Constitutionalist troops under Gen.
Pablo Gonzales was reported in tele.
gram received from Jesus Acuna, min
lister Of the interior. The message
said:
Gen. Gonzales troops reoccupied
Mexico City with little resistance. The
movement was the elimination of a
campaign determined upon when II
was found necessary to crush the Villa
column commanded by Fierro.
Instead of sending a small force
against Fierro. Gen. Gonzales decided
to inflict crushing blow that should
eliminate him as future menace
when the capital should be reoccupied
"The plan proved eminently success
full, though misunderstood and misrep.
resented by those not taken into his
confidence.
Gen. Lechuga commanded the
forces which reoccupied the city"
The Carranza agency issued this
statement:
First Chief venustiano Carranza
has ordered Gen. Pablo Gonzales to re-
occupy Mexico City, in view of the re.
ports in circulation with regard to the
critical conditions in the capital by
reason of the shortage of foodstuffs
The orders include instructions to Gen.
Gonzales to arrange for the immediate
transportation of trainloads of staple
articles of food at the same time his
troops enter the city"
Carranzas prompt response to in
sistence by the United States was re.
garded here as averting necessity for
immediate action by this government
to insure transportation of provisions

American travellers arriving at Zu-

lin, report that there were serious
anti American disturbances in the
German capital last week. A large
number of students in front of the
American Embassy hooted and yelled
until they were dispersed by a force
of police summoned to protect the
building. The police, according to the
travellers, requested Americans in Ber-
lin to refrain from wearing the Stars
and Stripes as badges or scarf-pins,
the sight of which, they say, irritates
the Germans, and often exposes the
wearers to insults and molestation.
The Leland liner Iberian was sunk
by a German submarine. Six mem

one were landed safely. The casual

by shell fire. The submarine later tor
