MESSAGE FROM THE
MEXICAN REPUBLIC
State Department Officers Are Puz-
zled By Conflicting Notes
from Consuls in
Mexico

Washington, November 1o.--Puzzling but
apparently significant dispatches from
Mexico received today by the state depart
ment left officials very much in doubt
as to what is going on in the southern
republic.
The first, consular dispatch from
Aguas Calientes. announced that General
Gutierrez, named by the convention as
provisional President yesterday demanded
Carranzas retirement as first chief of the
constitutionalists within "a hours.
The second, from Consul Siiliman in
Mexico City. said the possibilities of a
peaceful settlement of the differences be-
tween Carranza and the Aguas Calientes
convention were brighter today than at
any time since the breach occurred. Gen.
eral Blanco, commanding the Carranza
forces in Mexico City, Mr.. Silliman said,
advised him that an agreement binding
the leaders to adjust their differences
without further hostilities were confidently
expected.
The advices from Aguas Cslientes said
Gutierrez had informed Carranza that
unless a definite answer TO his demands
were Forthcoming by Sunday night a
general movement against him would be
ordered

GERMANY DENIES
ENGLISH CHARGES
OF LAYING MINES
Says All Mines Were Sc
curely Anchored and
Placed on English
Coast

Berlin. November 15.--(Via The
swer to British charges regarding the
laying of mines in the North sea, as
printed in the Norddeutsche Allege-
meine Zeitung, asserts that the eight
agreements of the second Hague con-
ference. to which the British govern
ment refers in its note to the neutral
powers, never have been fully ratified.
Nevertheless, Germany announces she
of these agreements.
The British charge that Germany vio-
lated provisions regarding mine lay
ing is categorically denied. The article
declared Germany never used fishing
boats or vessels flying neutral flags in
laying 1nires, ali..wsere fleia by. war ves-
sells. Neither has Germany land mines
in the high seas. All have been laid as
near to English harbor entrances as
the coast lines and character of the
bottom permitted; all have been care
fully anchored and neutral powers have
been duly informed
1t is untrue, continues the paper, that
Germany has barred neutral ports by
laying mines. If some of the German
mines laid on the English coast have
drfted to sea through heavy stroms
these are much less numerous than the
English mines driven onto the Dutch
and Belgian coasts.
Englands charges, concludes the ar
ticle, were dictated with the design of
excusing England's closure of the North
sea.

IN The Scandinavian countries and Holland
are much exercised over the sowing of
mines where they endanger neutral ves-
sells. That the mines are in great number
