By the Associattd Press. Mexico City, March 14. German immigration to Mexico has so de creased that not more than COO have entered this country since th3 end of the war. German officials have urged their countrymen not to mi grate here at present but rather to avail themselves of the facilities of fered for settlement in the South Am erican republics of Argentina, Uru- ruay and Paraguay. Information lo ;his effect was given at the German embassy following inquiries as tc nowsnaner renorts here that an offi cir.l request had besn made in behalf if Germans for a concession of about 0.000 acres of land in Ccahuila. Denial was made that the Coahuila iricesF'cn in ouestion pertains to German citizens, Counsellor Fuhr as-?Pi'tino- that. thf venuest was made by naturalized Germans in the Unit ed States, principally irom Texas, who w?shed to form a colony near Las Vacas, Coahuila and desert their Am erican homes. '.The only pretentious emigration from Germany to Mexico ended in failure." Counsellor Fuhr asserted. "Shortly after the end of the war a colonization comnanv was formed of several hundred members who pooled the:r resources and purchased berman goods estimatet' to bring $800,000 (pesos) when sold in Mexico. "Two men were appointed to- ac company the goods but unfortunately after they disposed of them they pocketed the money and have di sap peared. Meanwh'le the would-be colonists embarked for Mexico in large numbers but since their arrival here they have been virtual wards of the nermanent German colonv in Ar.'-viro Cit.v inasmuch as thev had in vested all their funds in the defunct; company. One oi the colonists, lor instance, was a former German vice admiral. He is now working as a laborer with a surveying gang and is glad of the chancel" Declaration was made further that the Mexican government as yet has offered no inducements for German immigration beyond more transporta tion from the port of entry to the place of settlement. Contrasted to this is the policy inaugurated by the "Plata republics," Argentina. -Uruguay aid: Pnrnmiav. whereby colonists of established worth are provided with free passage n-om Germany ana nu eral grants of land.

Commission ers in more than a score of counties who "unjointed" revaluation last week by reducing property values will be called upon to tell where revenue sufficient for running their govern ment is to come from at the close of the rrcsent fiscal year. It is" altogether possible tr a V some of these commissioners will not be able to answer this question, so tax students hereabouts aver. The fact that property valuations in some counties have been reduced horizontal ly from 20 to GO per c:nt means that the- county budgets will not oe met with taxes collected on the revised bask;. And this situation will have fc be met by ono or two ways: First, theie will be a special tax levied or a bond issue, or Second, the rate of taxation must be increased. This is the opinion of Commission er Allen J. Maxwell of the state tax commission who has given the quest ion considerable study since the coun ties began slashing revaluation under an act of the 1921 general assembly. Reductions in property values ar pear mighty good, Commissiono: Maxwell admits, but- he warns that wnen laxpayiug- time - comes arouiiu , , T1 the folks are going to discover that French an Kalian censors, somebody has handed them a geld A paper here aft'er the censors have brick. 'Whether the assessment is. finished with 'it sometimes bears Ik high and the rate of tax low, or the I tie resemblance to what the editor assessment low and the rate high, ihe final result remains unchanged.

The counties must raise a certain amount of money by levying taxes to finance the county government.

The federation cf general workers, representing l, 5C0.00O persons in rcj;re than 100 industries outside the triple alliance, decided today to support the triple alliance in its strike in support of the striking miners. NO CHANCE NOW Bv the Associated Pres. London, April 14. A conference held this morning between Mr. Lloyd George, the prime minister, and a delegation of officials of the triple al liance, which called a strike for Friday night, was concluded after two hours without a settlement hav ing been effected. It was reported from the confer ence that the prime minister made a long statement, appealing strongly to the railroad men and transport work ers who with the miners form the triple alliance, to consider the seri ousness of their step. This plea, however, does not appear to have had effect. J. T. Thomas, general secretary of the national union of railway men, declared after the conference that he could see no prospect for the reopen ing of negotiations for an adjustment of the strike situation. On the government side it was said the labor men were unable to pre sent new arguments, giving the gov ernment any different view of their case while the government, it was understood, did .not indicate that it was prepared to make any new con cessions. ; I Thus the situation this afternoon remained critical. i TO PUBLISH By the Associated Press.
