MORMONS TOLD TO LEAVE Settlers Lose Horses and Livestock, but Are Clinging to What Rc- mains, In Hopo Tbat Army ' j. Will Move on West. EL PASO, Tex., Oct. IS. Reports of me confiscation by villa representa tives of lorcign-owned mining prop erty and of larsre herds of foreign- owned cattle in Chihuahua State were brought to the attention of American Btate Department representatives here today. The Villa demand that the American Smeltinir & Eeflninir Com pany coin "Rovernment ores" has been deferred to October 15. The American Consuls are also en paged in an ' endeavor to induce 503 Mormons of the Casas Grandes district, where Villa troops are mobilizing, to leave the country. Another report said that Consul Letcher of Chihuahua City has been ordered by Villa representa tives to get Americans out of his dis trict. Formal Decree, Not Awaited. "News of the confiscation of foreign mining- property reached hero from camps between Juarez and Jiminez. It was said that the confiscations are pro ceeding without the formality of a-de-oree. owners being directed by letters to turn over their property to named representatives of Villa officials. The letters were signed by Sylvesta Ter razaa. Secretary of State. Compliance with the demand that the American Smelter & Refining Com pany coin money for the Villa officials, made several days ago, was deferred until October 15 because the company without fuel cannot operate and there is said to be insufficient fuel in Villa territory to render compliance possible. Embarn Requested. Strong representations have been made to State Department representa tives here by cattlemen, based on the statements In a petition to the State Department yesterday, which requested n embargo on beef and beef products. It was declared today tbat unless the packing-hnuse products of Juarez are barred from the United States, blooded cattle of Chihuahua, which has taken much money and considerable time to develop, will be slaughtered for the treasury of the Villa cause, and the cattle industry of the district irrep arably injured. A shipment of 10.000 head offered at Columbus, N. M., by a representative of the Villa faction for admission for "'immediate transportation" to Juarez, Mex., was refused today by the custom authorities there. It was suspected that "immediate transportation" was asked to avoid the New Mexico . state law against the importation of unbrahded calves. . Mormon Advised to tarc, ' . EfTorts are being made" here today by the local authorities of the Mormon church to get their colonists out of Casas Grandes, and It Is said by them that the State Department has been asked practically to order them to leave. In justification for their stay it is urged that all they have indi vidually is in acres, crops and in cattle. Their horses are reported disappear ing as Villa deserters leave the district and the cattle being slaughtered, but they are clinging to what they have loft in the hope that the Villa army will move on westward.

The Ger mans were compelled to evacuate the territory around the highway from Dvinsk to Novo Alexandriev. The general staff regards the blow delivered to the Germans in this dis trict as a serious menace to the dis position of their forces between Novo Alexandriev and . the railway from Dvinsk to Poniewach. Simultaneously a strong movement of the Russians southeast of Dvinsk has pressed the Germans to the natural defenses formed uj me line OE laKea. Pressing them westward frnm vm. Russian cavalry occupied the village of Ostle on the west bank of Lake Bogensky. Thus the Germans have been driven further from the Dvinsk group of highways and the roads lead ing to them.
