GREAT MEXICO CITY
PREPAREDNESS REPORT
GALVESTON, June 21.—A great
Mexican city preparedness move
ment has eDgulfed the capital. The
Mexicans are now uniting in a com
mon opposition to the United States
end the situation is grave beyond
words.
United States Consul Rogers noti
fied Washington today that he had
completed arrangements for the re
moval of all Americans from Mexico
City to Very Cruz tomorrow.
The sudden gravity of tho crisis
evident as it has been to people in
the United States has taken Amer
icans resident in Mexico quite un
expectedly. All dispatches from
Mexico indicate that the factional
ism that marked the internal affairs
of that country heretofore is now
dying out and all are coming to
gether enthusiastically against the
United States.
SAN DIEGO, June 21.—The
Naval department will keep all the
larger ships at home in American
waters while the trouble in Mexico
is being adjusted. Today the cruisers
Vicksburg and Colorado and four
destroyers sailed for Mexican
waters to await orders as to future
action.
The situation along the border is in a
ferment of excitement, but the most
rigorous measures have been taken
to suppress any demonstration of
race feeling as well as to be pre
pared against any raids which In
dependent bands of Mexicans might
attempt.

PARIS, June 21.—The papers here
notice the Greek protest against
the Allied interference with the ma
rin trade of Greece. It is hinteu
that this will get worse instead of
better unless Greece definitely ccasea
coquetting with the Central Powers.
Having led the Allies into Salonika
and the Balkans under pretenses of
friendship runs the comment of Lie
Temps, they cannot think to profit
from an alliance with the Central
Powers while masking their hostile
intentions towards the Allies. The
Matin thinks if the Queen of Greece
rules her country as a German prin
cipality, the Greeks accepting this
condition should not complain.

ment has been begun to raise a fund

ed for the border, being stationed

his government as well as tho raids
along the border.
