Mexico City, April 15.--The MeSi-

taro, Sub-Secretary Amador is in
charge of the foreign Office and is con
Quoting its course in international af
fairs
The Mexican government has con-
tended in all of its notes to the Wash
ington state department, said the
sub-secretary, that the sending of
heavy artillery and slow-marching in
fantry on punitive expedition is il
logical, and that the work OF the pres
ent so-called punitive expedition has
| more than demonstrated this. for they
have accomplished absolutely nothing.
Mexico will and has in all of its com.
| munications to Washington insisted
that all punitive expeditions must be
limited to certain restricted areas
The request OF the United States that
the present expedition be considered
exceptional cannot be agreed to by
| the Mexican government for the very
good reason that each day its presence
so far inland does but excite our peo-
pie This is being taken advantage OF
by enemies OF the constitutionalist
government who are endeaYoring to
stage Incidents that will cause grave
international complications.
The Parral incident is 4 case in

that when the American people and

full significance they will gladly ac-
cede to MeXico's request and, in the
traditional friendship which exists be.

| NO one mas ever questioned the
honesty OF the purpose OF the United

NEXT NOTE WILL Be
OUR LAST WORD
TO GERMANY
Berlin Government Will be Told il
Doesn't Keep Promises
CONSIDER EVIDENCE CONCLUSIVE
Change Of Attitude Alone Can Avert
op Threatened Break of
Relations.
CONSIDER EVIDENCE CONCLUSIVE

Washington, April 15.-President
Wilson and the cabinet went over the
submarine crisis again yesterday and
reaflirmed their determination to
bring the situation with Germany to
an issue. The decision to inform Ger
many that recent accumulation OF evil
dence OF ships destroyed in submarine
warfare leads to the inevitable con-
clusion that her promises to the Unit
ed States are not being fulfilled, re-
mained unchanged. The time of dis
patching a communication to Berlin
appeared to be the only point undecid-
ed.
In Congress yesterday report was
widely circulated that the forthcom
ing note would in itself give notice of
severance of diplomatic relations.
There was nothing to substantiate the
story anywhere in official quarters
There were repeated indications
last night that the note would be a
statement Of the American case up to
date. without anything in the nature
of an ultimatum, and still would leave
the way open for Germany TO avoid
the long-feared break in diplomatic
relations. 1t was plain. however,
that 1t would be intended as the Ameri
can governments last word
At the state department there was
renewed evidence that the United
States considers its case complete,
even without the affidavits which ar
rived yesterday on the steamer st.
Paul.
The impression which officials per-
mitted to prevail was that the note to
Germany would not go forward until
all the evidence had been carefully
considered, but that enough was at
hand to make up the American case.
Some officials declared the communi.
cation would go within 4S hours.
In all official quarters there is evi
dence Of the gravity of the situation
All officials agree that the accumula
tion of evidence has brought the sit
uation between the two countries to
! the point of break or a decided
! change on Germany's part.

MEXICANS FIRED
ON UNARMEO MEN
At PARRAL
American Soldiers Were Attempt
Ing to Buy Supplies in City
FLED BEFORE ANGRY MOB
Pursuers Met With Fire of Machine
Gun and 40 Of Them Reported
Killed. .

San Antonio, Tex, April 15.-The
Americans on whom the Mexicans at
Parral fred were unarmed, according
to an unconfirmed version Of the Incl
dent current in Chihuahua and trans
mitted here to Gen Funston yesterday.
According to this story, 40 of the troop
ers entered Parral, presumably to buy
supplies, and were fired upon. Two
were killed and the remainder retreat
ed to the main body Of troops encamp-
ed outside the city. The attacking
force pursued them and was met by a
fire from the Americans who were u.s.
ing a machine gun, killing 40 Mexi-
cans. According to this story, the at
tacking party comprised Carranza SOL
diers and civilians.
This report of the Parral incident
was sent by Consul Letcher from Chi
huahua to Gen. Bell at Ell Paso, who
forwarded it to Gen Funston. Full al
lowance was given by departmental
officers to Consul Letcher's qualifying
words "unconfirmed version that was
current" in Chihuahua, but there was
manifested disposition to credit the
report.
Many of the officeres at headquart-
ers in San Antonio regarded the story
of the affair as more probable than
some of the versions which have come
out of Mexico. 1t was pointed out that
in previous cases soldiers had entered
towns for the purpose Of buying sup
plies and had been received in a
friendly manner by the residents, and
that il they had gone into Parral for
that purpose, it was probable that
they went unarmed.

DON'T COME "ON A SHOESTRING."

Every public or sem.pubIic agency, such as the
Hawaii Promotion Committee the Y. VI. {. ~,
and almost every business house in Honolulu has
experience with men and women who to the
islands seeking employment, with no definite idea
of conditions here and without money to support
them more than few days. They arrive. find the
opportunities for clerical general business posi-
tions very few. their sCant funds out and they
are in a pitiable positon-a position especially
huniating to selfrespectirg people.
Hawaii is distinctly not responsible for these re-
grettable incidents Repeated warnings have been
sent out not only by these public and semi-public
agencies but by every business firm to which letters
of would-be employees written Yet somehow
men and women in the states seem to think this a
land where jobs plenty. Because. the islands
prosperous, because business positions we'll
paid here they suppose there jobs to be had for
the asking. The opposite tx true Compared to the
figures of industrial production the number of bust
ness firms and the number of business changes are
few, which is quite natural in country devoted pri-
marily to raw sugar production
The fact cannot be too widely spread that people
who come to Hawaii looking for jobs should come
with money to maintain them here for two or three
months at least and then with money enough to
take them back to the coast if their quest is
cessful.
