SHARP WARNING is

Further Trouble May Bring
About Serious Difficulties
With United States

WASHINGTON, Feb, 13.-The ad-
ministration today found itself con-
fronted by serious and perplexing diff
ficulties In Mexico.
Carranza's summary removal OF the
Spanish minister at Mexico City and
his constant manifest efforts to en-
broil or embarrass this government
caused officials serious anxiety.
A message, forwarded over night
informed Carranxa sharply that any
further trouble on that score might
bring upon him serious difficulties
with the United States. Through this
message. administration officials
hoped to prevent further break with
the diplomatic corps. Many diplomats
admittedly we're seriously considering
quitting the capital because OF Car
ranxa.s arbitrary attitude toward
them.
The state department was advised
that the expelled Spanish minister Is
heading for Cuba aboard Spanish
vessel.
The gravity OF Mexico's food ia
mine grows. Bread lines still cry for
the meager portion OF government aid
