 WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.- Coinci- dent with the withdrawal of General Pershing's forces from Mexico an UT gent appeal probably will be sent by the United States to CarranZa to make every possible effort to protect foreigners in the district that has been occupied by American troops for the last ten months.
 Chinese to Cross
 Fear is felt particularly for the
 safety of many Chinese who have
 been purveyors of supplies to the
 Americans. It was said at the
 state department today that if the
 Chinese considered themselves
 in danger and choose to cross in-
 to the United States no objection
 would be made in spite of the act

 A representative of a powerful bank ing house in New York said here to- day that the attitude taken by Car ranza towards the banks have remov- cd any remaining possibility that the defacto government might be able to borrow money in New York. No fur ther advices were received today re- garding the fate of the two priests be- ing held in Zacatecas on the charge of conspiracy.
