MEXICO Is pRO-ALIY,
SAYS CNRRANZA OFFICIAL

FL Paso Tex, March 2.-"Mexico is
pro-ally in its sympathieS and any ef-
forts to spread German propaganda
there would meet with little encour-
agement among the Mexican people"
Andres Garcia, inspector general of
Mexican consulates, said tonight upon
his return from Mexico City where he
was in conference with Gen. Venus
tiano Carran2a, Minister Candido
Aguilar of the department of foreign
relations and Gen. Alvaro Obregon,
minister of war.
IF there are any Germans or Mex
cans with German sympathies trying
to influence public opinion in Mexico
through official or semi official posi-
tons, they will be discharged as soon
as discovered, | am sure" Mr.. Garcia
added. There are not over six men
in the Mexican army with German
names and they have been with the
consttutionalist movement from its
inception, are Mexican citizens who do
not speak German but are of German
descent"
rs there any truth in the report
that an embargo may be placed on
Tampico oil in the event of a declara-
ton of war by the United States
against Germany?' Mr.. Garcia was
asked.
Il am afraid you Americans are
seeing things at night" he replied.
Conditions are steadily improving
in Mexico and | was surprised at the
improvement made since my last visit
Ito Mexico City" Mr.. Garcia said.
Gold and silver money is now circu-
lating in the capital as freely as in
El Paso, Zapata has disappeared from
the vicinity of Mexico City and the de
facto government has the situation
under absolute control now and the
only remaining problem is one of po
licing the country.
Gen. Francisco Murguia has made
splendid record in the north and Is
credited in the capital with having
broken the backbone of the villa
movement Gen. joaquin Amaro, WITH
1000 troops, left the City of Mexico
at the same time | did, to go to Du-
range and garrison that state and ad-
ditional troops were being sent to re.
inforce General Murguia. Villa is
again defeated and is q dead one in
Mexico"
Mr.. Garcia said General Obregon
has been i'll for some time and was
planning to have an operation per-
formed upon his throat last Monday
En- route to Mexico City, the train
upon which Mr.. Garcia was passen-

driven off by the Carranza escort, af-
