OF
.MFX|CANS ARE
IN
.CANTU'S REALM
Exodus From Los Angeles
Is Proving Puzzling to
the Authorities.
NO APPREHENSION
is FELT, HOWEVER
C0nsuls State It Is Due to
Desire of Mexicans to Be
Home in Case of War.

1t has been discovered that over
5000 Mexicans have left Los Angeles
quietly within the past week and
majority of them are said to have
made their way secretly to various
parts of Lower California. There is
no indivation that they are planning
any hostile move, but from informa-
tion given out by Mexican consular
officials at Los Angeles it is believed
they anticipate trouble between their
county and the United States and de-
sire to be on native soil when it
comes.
Investigations have disclosed the
fact thatn concentration camps have
been established in Southern Califor-
MIA by the Mexicans, so it is presumed
that they have crossed the border. Re-
ports from Mexicali bear out the as
sertion that hundreds of Mexicans
have arrived there recently, coming
in small groups so as not to excite
suspicion.
Last week at Claremont 500 Mexi-
cans quit work in a body, leaving the
Grange groves in the hands of Ameri-
can pickers. The following day 45O
Mexicans stopped working in the Van
Nuys beet fields, stating to their en-
poyers that they intended going to
Les Angeles. No trace of the men
was found in that city.
Quiet Investigations in Imperial
county lead local authorities to believe
that there is no contemplated move
ment here by the Mexican population.
What is termed the Floating popula-
Ition of Mexicans" is found mostly at
MeXicali and CaleXico. The Mexicans
who are employed as ranch hands in
other sections of the Valley are most
!lv men of steady habits and possess
sing regulations for industry and qui-
etness.
However, it is understood that when
Governor Cantu fully acknowledges
the sovereignty of the Carranza gov
eminent that there will be a greater
influx of Mexicans to the Lower Cali
fornia capital. On the surface Cantu
has pretended to subordinate himself
and territory to the Mexican central
government, but there are hundreds
of Mexicans who prefer residence in
California until such time as they
feel assured of real protection in Mex
icali.
