that should danger threaten them prompt
action would be taken to afford relief. In

question of confscation or return of their
property refugees who fled across the

former supporters of Gen. Huerta. must
present themselves to the Mexican au-

whether or not they have been guilty Of

Carranza said. but the guilty would be
