States Waters.
MEXICO CITY. Nov. 6.-The Mexican
government has been notified bv the Brit
lsh ambassador at Washington of the pres
ence OF German submarines in the Gulf of
Mexico and has been warned that the
allies will take drastic measures If the
undersea craft receives aid from Mexican
ports or sources
Ihls information was made public by
Foreign Minister AglIilar, who issued the
text OF a note received from the British
ambassador through United States Secre-
tary of State Lansing and Charge d'Affairs
Parker. The British note demands strict
censorship Of the Mexican wireless and
says that any failure to maintain Mexican
neutrality will be attended by disastrous
results In his reply, addressed to Mr.
Parker, Senor Aguilar says that it seems
strange to the Mexican government that
treat Britain should use the United States
state department as an intermediary on a
point concerning Mexico alone Aguilar
states that the Mexican government feels
it unjust for the allies to hold Mexico re-
sponsibie for submarine activities in the
Gulf Of Mexico when the same submarines
arrived IN American ports and sank ships
in American territorial waters without
causing conflict or difficulties between
Germany and the United States. He adds
that Mexico desires to retain cordial rela-
tions with Great Britain and to this end
suggests that the English feet prevent the
German submarines from leaving their
bese, thus obyiating the Mexican govern,
ment from disagreeable incidents caused
by the European war Ii such measures
by England are not etficacious, the foreign
minister concludes. the Mexican govern
ment viii take such measures as the cir
cumstances direct should German subrna
rines enter Mexican waters.
