SENDS A 12,000-WORD NOTE Claims the Acts of This Country Are in Contradiction of Her Words and Protests. URGES A DEFINED POLICY Elames Much of. Mexico's Trouble t on American Attitude. AJon CMv. Mav 31 niaim- ins that the words and protests of the United States have been entire ly in contradiction of their acts and that, in spite of protests not to intervene in the affairs of Mexico, soldiers of the United States are in Mexico without the consent of the Mexican government and in violation of Mexico's sovereignty, the Mexican government now asks for the immediate withdrawal of those troops. The request is made in a 12,000-word note made public at the foreign office today. Crossed Without Permission. The note recites that the American troops crossed the border after the Co lumbus incident without the permission of the Mexican government. The act was not considered one of invasion then solely because the United States said they had misinterpreted the -attitude of th Mexican government. When the second expedition crossed the line af ter the Glenn Springs incident, the note maintains thaioa that this-was .done -with the consent "of the Mexican con sul at Del Rio, Texas, is untenable and that act can only be considered as one of invasion. "The Jlexioan government therefore invites the United States to bring to an end this unsupportable situation," the note concludes, "and to support its protestations and declarations or friendship by an Immediate withdraw al of American troops. Maintaining that the protests of friendship by the United States and the expressed desire for non-interference has been contradicted by the acts of the Washington government,' the note saj-s the time has -arrived when Wash ington must declare itself clearly and unequivocally as to its iuture inten tions toward Mexico. Contradiction of Promise. After reciting the facts whichled to the first crossing of the frontier by the American troops after the Villa raid at Columbus, the note insists that in contradiction of the word of Generals Scott and Funston another expedition crossed the boundary line, thus violat ing all the precepts of international law and committing an act of Invasion. "The American government," says the note, "has admitted that the work of expedition which entered after "the Columbu? raid is now over. But in spite of this fact, American troops still remain on Mexican soil. -To contend. mat political disorder in this country Juries this act of the American mili tary forces is in conflict with the re peated professions of the Washington government relative to non-interference." The note points out that much of the trouble in Mexico is due "to the atti tude of the United States In not' pun- ifhing inspirators in the United States, who have plotted the downfall "f the present constitutionalist gov ernment, and to acts of Washington in refusing: to permit the shipment of arms and ammunition to enter Mex Jco"n .

NOTE NOT AN ULTIMATUM Arredondo Explains That the Defiant Words of Carrania's Document Are Not to be Taken at Their Face Valae. .Washington, May 31. General Car ranza's latest note, bluntly questioning the good faith of the United States government and, with a threat of arm ed resistance, demanding withdrawal of American troops from Mexico, was presented at the State Department to day by Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican ambassador designate. Tonight a translation of the voluminous docu ment, about 12,000 words long, was laid before President Wilson who at once began considering how it should be answered. - No one in official circles would at tempt tp, forecast just what course the President might decide upon. There was complete unanimity, however, in the belief that there would be no im mediate withdrawal of the Pershing expedition. High officials said the de facto government so far has utterly failed to demonstrate its ability to pro tect the border against bandits, and expressed the opinion that the troops would stay in Mexico until this was done. It was suggested that e bel ligerent and uncompromising attitude assumed by Carranza was largely for effect upon the Mexican public and there was little disposition to believe that the de facto government actually contemplated an effort to expel the -Aaierlcan-a.rmy'Jjy5 force. - : Mr. Arredondo left the impression that his chief did not expect the de fiant words of the note to be taken at their face value, when, on handing the communication to acting Secretary Polk he gave notice that it was not intended as an ultimatum, but as a continuation of the negotiations which have been in progress between the two governments. The new note, written before the withdrawal of the Langhorne-Sibley expedition which entered Mexico after the Boquillas raid, was brought to Washington Monday by Manuel Men- dez, an att&che of the Mexican foreign office. Word of its coming had been received jast week but on Mendez's ar rival he insisted that he knew nothing of a note and merely was in the United States on a vacation. Arredondo- said late last night that he had heard noth ing of a note. Today it was explained that Mendez left Mexico City with strict, instruc tions to keep the purpose of his visit secret even from the embassy here un til he had communicated with the for eign office on reaching Washington.

Dr. Gustav Stresemann, nation-liberal, in an address rejected the idea that President Wilson would be available as a peace mediator. "If you take a vote of the German people," said Dr. Srtsemann, "only a small minority would accept President Wilson as a mediator after he has ren dered it possible for our enemies to keep going in a military way by inten sifying the possibility for the manu facture of munitions, after he has done nothing whatever to utilize the vast power of a great world state to guaran tee the shipment of provisions to Ger many; after we have found that he has ever raised his hand threateningly and proceeded against us with all his pow er when we tried to depend ourselves against the miserable starving-out war. "We would not reject the peace me diation of a really neutral power, pos sibly the power of Switzerland, bui President Wilson's hand we reject and we believe a great mass of German peo ple approve our rejection of it."

Washington, May 31. Amendments to the navy appropriation bill to pro vide for a $11,000,000 government ar mor plate plant, for $3,500,000 instead of $2,000,000 worth of aeroplanes, for 2,730 additional sailors and for a bonus system to encourage the speedy pri vate construction of warships - were adopted today by the House sitting as the committee of whole. Party lines were broken down on ev ery vote. Twenty-three Republicans and two Progressives joined the Dem ocrats in voting for the armor plate proposal, the ffnal vote being 165 to 91. Thirteen Democrats lined up with the Republicans o nthe aditional aero plane amendment, which was car ried 129 to 103. The bonus and in creased' personnel amendments were adopted overwhelmingly without roll calls. Debate on the armor plate amend ment, which already had been passed as a separate bill i nthe Senate, cen tered largely around the question of whether the Bethlehem Steel Company had treated the government fairly. Representative Butler, of Pennsyl vania, offered a substitute amendment looking to a settlement of the. contro versy between th government and pri vate manufacturers through a federal trade commission investigation. The Butler amendment was lost 180 to 125.

William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, delivered the commence ment address at the University today on The Significance of a Pan-Ameri can Policy." The prominence of the speaker, combined with perfect wealh er, brought out the largest crowd in the history of University commence ments. Over five hundred people had to be turned away. Degrees were con ferred by the University upon 115 stu dents ana an honorary degree was con ferred upon Secretary MeAdoo. "My recent trip through South America," began Mr. McAdoo. "has made me feel more clearly than eve"? Deiore the importance of an enlight ened and educated public ODinion with reference to. our relations to the coun tries of Central and South America, rou and I and every intelligent citi zen must, as a part of our dutv to wards our country, formulate a clear idea of the part that our country is called upon to play in the affairs of the American - continents." "My visit to South America has dis posed of any academic notions I mav have entertained about the position of the Latin American states in recent years," he continued. "The wealth and solidity of these nations, their thriv ing industry and evident prosperity, the, splendid contributions of their thinkers and reformers to. the solution of the world's most pressing socia problems, the unmistakable evidence that there is being created in South America a iniddle class which for high standard of "living and excellent, bal ance and judgment n public matters, compares favorably with any in the world their rich, ancient and homo genous civilization was vividly im pressed upon me at this time. nappy to say that practically no doubt does remain, in the Latin-American world, that we have sought to treat all the governments of America on a basis of equality and co-operation. "Another aspect of our relations with Latin America is the economic and financial relations. With political in dependence established as a definite an ! final act, the next step in the. progres sive development of our sister repub lics is to secure a larger measure of economic and financial independence The people of the United States, deeply interested In their own economic, nnan cial and social progress, are anxious to see every nation of Latin-America move forward in precisely the same direction.

PAN-AM ERICA ISM WR '5 END 11 Tl Secretary McAdoo Says It is Ab surd to Think Our Industries Will be Seriously Affected. MAKES SPEECH IN RALEIGH Says Never In History Have American Trade Conditions Been so Favor able Points to Benefits of Present Administration. Raleigh, N. C, May 31. Present pros perity of the United States will con tinue after the end of the European war, Secretary McAdoo declared in an address tonight before the chamber of commerce here. He charged that per sons who feared that a cessation of war orders will cause business de pression either are influence6T by par tisan propaganda or are ignorant of the prospects for peace orders. The secretary expressed the opinion that the proposed administration anti dumping tariff legislation is not es sential but only precautionarv. He urged enactment, of the ship purchase dui to make possible an extension o the trade with Central and South America and asserted that the Repub lican blockade of a similar measure in 1314 would prove "one of the monu mental and inexplicable blunders of the time." Overflowing Dinner Pall. "Never in American historv have conditions been so favorable to Ameri can business and American industry," said Mr. McAdoo. "We have not alone the full dinner pail, but the overflowing dinner, pail. "Agriculture, the basis of all pros perity, is , experiencing a most whole some growth. The farmers of the United States never in their history have enjoyed such splendid rewards for their toil arid never before have the economic conditions and the laws al ready enacted by a Democratic adminis tration so justly favored " them. The rural credits bill, which will soon be passed, will provide the long time credits,' at low rates of interest. So essential to the remunerative and pro ductive development of the farming in dustry."

Bank , of Russia, the Reichsbank of Germany, the Bank of The Netherlands, the Swiss National Bank, and the Bank of Japan. "The total deposits of the national banks in March, 1916, amounted to $10,790,000, 000, an increase in three months of $411,000,000 and an increase over March 1915, (one year), of $2,198,000,000," Mr. McAdoo continued. ; Prosperity Will Continue. "There are those who say that the loss of war orders after peace comes in Europe will seriously affect the in dutries. This is absurd.

Mrs. Nelms said her daughter had received many letters from Innes, the" burden of which was "love, love, love," and that he frequently spoke in them of "claiming her (Mrs. Dennis) as his wife." "He postponed the date of their mar riage from time to time during 1913 and the early part of 1914," the mother said ."until finally he wrote her to meet him in San Antonio in June, 1914 where they would be married and go to India to love."

PROSPERITY FRENCH IN REGION OF L10RT HUME TURN ON GERMANS Capture Strongly Fortified Posi-1 tion on Slopes of the Hill Northwest of Verdun. 225 PRISONERS CAPTURED' Austrians Gain Further Points off Vantage From Italians in Asiago-Arsiero Sector. The French troops northwest of Ver dun, in the region of Le Mort Homme, have turned on the offensive againstj the Germans, and in a spirited attack; have captured a strongly organized po- sition on the slopes southwest of La Mort Homme. Seven machine guns andi 225 prisoners were taken in the attack which was the Only infantry fighting on Wednesday reported in the. latest French official communication. The town of Avocourt and Hill 304 ia this immediate vicinity are under a. heavy bombardment and shells of large calibre are being used. Bombardments also are' in progress north of Verdun, from the Meuse river to Fort Vaux, and in the Hartmann's Weilerkopf re--glon of the Vosges mountains. r On the asiago-Arsiero sector of the. Austro-Italian front the Austrians have taken additional points of vantage from.' tth Italians and put down attempts by King Victor Emmanuel's men to recov er lost ground. According to the Aust rian communication, during the present offensivel they have captured 31,082 It alians and 298 cannon. The Italian war office admits the evacuation of Positions at Monte Priafora and Punta Cordin, on the Asiago plateau. The lake region south of Dvinsk on the Russian front again is the scene of heavy bombardments, probably the pre lude to more infantry fighting. Farther south, on the Volhyniart front and. along the Bessarabian border there is increas ed activity by the "Teutons and' Russ ians. Petrograd reports the capture of a. Russian position in the region of Diar bekr, but says the Russians in a counter attack ejected the invaders. Nothing new has come through con cerning the invasion of Greek Macedo nia by the Bulgars and Germans, but on the extreme western part of the Balkan front the Austrians along the Voyusa river in Albania have pursued Italian patrols. The British invasion of German East Africa continues and has reached a, strongly entrenched German position between the Egare mountains and the Panagni river, where a fight seems probable.
