ORDERS WWHDBAWAL OF U. S.
TROOPS.
PresUent Wilson Orders Our TroojMi
to -Withdraw Fron Me&icsR Soil
Eifecliye Immediately.
' Washington, Sept. 15.—Kvactuation
CJt Vera Crus was ordered today by
ipresident WiJspn.
American soldiers and marines un
der General Funstpn, who have held
Mexico’s principal sfeaport sihce it
was seized by the fleet, April 21 last,
will embark for home as soon as trans-
> ports can go after them, and shortly
afterward all of the war fleet except
a few light draft vessels will be
withdrawn.
The evacuation order was announc-
at the White House today after a
ling cabinet meeting. It is the con-
I eiudinff chapter of the second armed
conflict between the United States
and Mexico, in K'hieh a score of Araer
icans lost their lives, nearly 100 wore
W'ounded and-upwards of 300 Mexi
cans were killed or wounded.
The reasons for the step were set
forth in the following statcitient from
the White House:
“The troops have been ordered
Svithdrawn from Vera Cruz. This ac
tion is taken in view of the entire re
moval of the circumstsnces which
were thought to justify the occupa
tion. The further presence of the
troops is deemed unnecessary.”
Specifically, the American forces
were withdrawn at the urgent appeul
of General Carranza, first chief of
the constitutionalists army. Through
. Paul Fuller, personal representative
of President Wilson in Mejdco, Gen
eral Carranza set forth that the pres
ence of American troops, instead of
being a safeguard against fui'tner
revolution and peace with the United
States, constituted a constant menace
t>> friendly relations. The Mexican
chief contended—and he was support-
a}. by Generals Villa and Ohreg&ji—
that the Mexican people would not
understand the continued presence of
American troops on Mexican soil and
would cherist resentment no matter
hew well intentioned the American
government was. '
Unti! today the Wa.ihington govem-
msnt hud not decided on any fiicd
time for the withdrawal and awaitcMi
iicgotiafions with the new govorn-
r>ie!it had not decided on any fixed
time for the withdrawal and awai'ed
ncffoliatioiis iiej^otiation:' with tisc
now government. At first the Pres
ident believed it desirable to keep
American forces at Vera Cruz for sal
utary effitfct, hoping a constitutional
tleotion would be conducted fairly and
the troops brought back after a con
stitutionally election executive was in
power. Carranza argued, however,
that no plection could be free with a
r.ai't of Mexican territory controlled
l>v American forccs.
The President discussed the sub
jtct with bis cabinet ,some of whom,
i! is understood, did no^ favor the
move. It finally was the cc-nsensus of
(joinion that the main purpose of the
American expedition to Vera Crux—
U- punish the affront to the flas at
Tempico—had been achieved. Anoth
er circun^stance which influenced ttic
President's judgment was the ap
proaching general convention of mil
itary chiefs, October 1, when a pro
visional president will be designated.
General Carranza wished to be ajle
tu turn over the power to a successor
with the country absolut-ely at peace
v.ith its northern neighbor.
On the question of recognition, it
i.i known the President and his ad-
vi.>iers have reached no decision. The
conference on October 1 will desig
nate & provisional president, who svill
undoubtedly be recognized if all the
fections accept him. The United
States, as well as Argentina, Brazil
and Chile, will consider the popular
acceptance of the provisional preii-
dent chosen at that conference as the
fulfillment of th? protocols signed at
the Kiagara Pails mediation confer
ence.
President Wilson is confident a sta
ble government soon will restore Mey-
icb to its normal condition.
Secretary Garrison today asked the
Secretary of State Bryaa to desig-
ntte competent Mexicans to take over
the Vera Cru); customs house and tlie,
city government. An inquiry on tiis
tabj®ct was sent to the Carrania gov
ernment by Slecretary Bfyan, but no
answer has been received.
The troops at Vera Cruz, including
7,200 soldiers and marines are "sx-
pected to begin tbeir departure in
about two weeks. Orders wet’6 sent
today to transports at Newport New’s
and Galveston to proceed to Vera
Cruz.' The transports- include the
Sumner and Kilpatrick and the char
tered boats City of Denver and Chiis-
tobal. Boats for carrying horses and
freight are at Galveston.
-Marines on duty at Vera Cruz will
be sent back to warships and stv
tions from which they were taken,
and troops will be sent to Texas City.
Formal orders for the v/ithdrawal of
ships in Mexican waters will not be
issued for several days. These ships
include the battleships Virginia^ North
Dakota, Arkansas, Delaware, Kanses,
Vermbnt and New York, the cruisers
Des Moines and Salem arid the Pa
tuxent, Solace, Vestal n/id Ozark.
Troops at Vera Cruz included troop?
1 and S of the sixth cavalry, the t'n st
b^tailion, fourth SelJ artillery; Iht
fcurth, seventh, i-.ijieteenUi and twon-
ly-cighth regiments nf infantry, Coiiir
pany E, eegirieer corps field hospitr.i
No. 3 and D Signal There also
are 3,200 marines, dra\''-i from 'he
I'aric-us ships ano t',av!>'. stations.
The sending of the fleet and the
.^.T.erican expeditionary force to Mex
ico followed the refusal of former
Provisional President Huerta to sa- verse.

30,000 VOICES
And Many Are The Voices of Burl
ington People.
Thirty thousand voices—What a
grand chorus! And that’s the number
of American men and women, vvho
are publicly praising Doan's Kidney
Pills for relief from backache, kidney
and bladder illls. They say it to
friends. They tell it in the borne pa
pers. Burlington people are in this
chorus,
Here’s a Burlington case:
Mrs. R. h. Wheeler, Lake Side Ave.,
R. F. D. No. 2, Burlington, N. C., says:
“My back v^aa certainly wretched. I
could hardly climb a flight of stairs
and it was about impossibla for me
to bend. I was bother by dizziness
and headaches. A relative told me to
try Doan’s Kidney Pills and I did. My
health began to mend at once and I
soon feit like u different woman.”
Mrs. Wheeler is only one of many
Burlington people who have grateful
ly endor,;ed Doan’s Kidney Pills. If
your hack ache.^—If your kidneys
bother you, don’t simply ask for a
kidney remedy—usk distinctly for
D an’s Kidney Pills, the same that
Mrs. Wheeler had—^the remedy back
ed by home testimony. 50c all stores.
