pIsouIETINc REPoRrs,


Ell PasO, Tex, March 17.-Rapidly
growing uneasiness among Americans
throughout Mexico, especially in the
north and west, was evidenced today
by reports from various sections that
United States citizens were either on
their way to the border or were pre-
pairing to leave.
At practically ever point of entry
along the northern and northwestern
frontier Americans arrived today from
the interior but in tho majority of in
stances they said they were leaving
Mexico merely as a matter Of precau-
ton and not because of any overt acts
of hostility against them.
The most significant report was re-
ceived from Durango where the Amer
lean vice consul advised that his wife
and child be sent out of the country.
This followed closely on the arrival
