WASHINGTON. June 1.-The con-
~ferences President Wilson has had

Acting on this conclusion. the pres

his currency message Monday. 1t

BERLIN, Oct. 29.-Germany will
back up the United States il any pol
ICY toward Mexico which may be an
nounced from Washington. This was
learned to-day from source close
to the Foreign Office and at the same
time it was learned that Germany had
received assurances from Paris that
the French Government has taken a
similar attitude toward the Mexican
situation.
Through the Charge d'Affaires Of
me United States Embassy (Ambas-
sador Gerard then not having pre-
sented his diplomatic credentials)
Secretary Bryan asked the German
Government not to adopt any Mexican
policy without first consulting the
United States. This message was re-
ccived and answered in a cordial
spirit
German warships in Mexican wat
ers, it is pointed out, do not indicate
an Independent policy on the part
Of Germany, but are merely for the
protection of German interests and
are in American waters with the full
consent of the United States.

Demand Explanation
For Americans Arrest.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 29.--Charge
d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy to-day de-
manded from Foreign Minister Mohe-
no an explanation of the arrest Of
Leopold Blum, an American citizen,
at Vera Cruz. When Blum arrived
here he was thrown into dirty cell,
but as soon as the American official
began inquiries as to the cause of the
and cleaner quarters
Apparently the only charge against
Blum is that he is a friend of Felix
Diaz, and unless more formal charges
are made, his release will be de-
manded.
The foreign diplomats keeping close
watch on developments are puzzled
by an announcement from the Foreign
Ministry that If the ticket headed by
Generals Huerta and Banquet was
successful in the Presidential election,
Huerta's name can be thrown out by
Congress and Banquet declared Pres
ident
Such action would be violation Of
the constitution. which provides that
the President must be native Mex
lean. Banquet was born in Spain.
There is no doubt that the Huerta-
Banquet ticket has swept the coun-
try. 1t carried the States of Tlax-
Gala, Jalisco. Guerrero, Mexico. Guam

and Queretaro.

Serrano Indians in Oaxaca are on the

depredations. War Minister BlanqNet
said he would send troops against
them if the southern rurales were I'M
able to subdue them.

Hatred Against U. 8. Consul,

Hatred Against U. 8. Consul.
A bitter hatred for the United
States Consul, William " Canada,
has developed as a result Of the Diaz
mix-up. An investigation is being
conducted By the Mexican Govern
ment to put Canada in a bad light,
and this already has had its effect.
The proprietor Of the German Hotel
has made affidavits before witnesses
that Canada was the direct cause OF
Diaz going to the hotel, and was the
agent who negotiated for the rent Of
the apartments in which Diaz lived
while there. In proof of this he
told the authorities that when Dia5
left on short order without paying
his bill. the bill was sent to Mr..
Canada. The Mexican Government is
taking care to see that all the infor-
nation relative to Canadas relations
with Mexicans in a political way
reaches the ears of the populace, and
thus the hostilitie3 of Mexicans
against the United States officials .
