TO LEAVE MEXICO
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. All Am
erican consuls in the Mexican states
of Chihauhua and Sonora were ordered
to leave for the United States by the
state department today.
As a reason for ordering all Ameri
can consuls out of Chihuahua and So
nora, it was officially stated by a high
authority this afternoon that as law
less bands of Mexicans are operating
In those states, Americans are unsafe.
The consuls are to be allowed to re
main In their own discretion, but they
must warn all citizens to quit the
country Immediately.
Villa's statement that he was not
responsible for the recent kidnaping
of Americans and that he could not
control the outlaws In his territory, is
believed to have precipitated the ad
ministration's action. Official circles
here believe it means the ultimate
recognition of Carranza.
Consul Carothers, the United States
special agent now with Villa, Is the
only American representative unaf
fected by the oider. The consul at
i.mnuanua is expected to depart for
the United States at once.
