United States Sends Friend 1Y Note to De Facto Gov ernment Urging Vigilance to Guard Against Estab- fishing U-Boat Base There.
This Country Might Be In volved Should Submarines Find Supplies There, is Washington View-Note is Friendly in Its Char acter.

Washington, Nov. 6-The American government has informed the de facto government of. Mexico that precau- tions should be taken to prevent any violation of Mexico's neutrality by op- eration of a belMgerent submarines within its territorial waters or the es- ta blishment of a submarine base on the Mexican coast.
 The information was conveyed. a state department official said today, in a wholly friendly spirit and not at the suggestion of any of the entente powers The state department officials realized that if Germany began a widespread campaign of commerce raiding as was believed possible at tile time of the submarine attack off the New England coast, it might be ex- tended to Mexico. The great oil fields there, the principal source of fuel oil' for British war vessels, it was thought might attract German submarines.
 It was said today the Mexican gov ernment is without sufficient means to insure protection of it's neutrality and that it might be comparatively easy for foreign power to establish a sub- marine base at some point along the coast.
 Serious complications between Mex ico and Great Britain or France might ensue, to the embarrassment of the government which might bring the United States into the controversy.
 Denial was made at the department that any protest had been submitted to Mexico City for Sir Cecil Spring lRoce, the British ambassador here.
 Mexico City, Nov. 6-The Mexican government has been notified by the British ambassador at Washington that the presence of German subma- rineA in the Gulf of Mexico and has been warned that the allies will take drastic measures if the undersea craft receive aid from Mexican ports or sources This information was made public last night by Foreign Minister Aguilar who issued the text of note, said to have been received of the British Ambassador through United States Secretary of State LAn- sing and Charge d'Affaires Charles B. ] Parker.
 The British note demands a strict censorship of the Mexican wireless aand says that any failure to maintain Mexican neutrality will be attended by disastrous results. In his reply, ad- dressed to MT. Parker, Senof Aguilar says that. it seems strange o'the Mex jean government that Great Britain should use the United States State De- par1nent as an intermediary on point concerning Mexico alone, especially when Great Britain has an accredited representative to Mexico. The reply says that the Mexican government will for this time only answer the re- presentations of the British govern ment through MT. Parker.

by e. C. Boom that the commissioners
had disregarded a peremptory writ Of
mandate issued by the supreme court,
ordering the commissioners to levy a
general property road tax sufficient
without any special road tax to cover
the cost of general road work.

from the general funds for use in their
districts.
The suit was brought against the

them to support the roads by general
