Hold, Mexico Never Gave Consent to

~ Mexico City, June Claiming that
the words and protests Of the United
states have been entirely in contradic-
fion Of their acts and that in spite of
PROMISES moi to intervene IN the affairs
of Mexico soldiers Of the United States
are in Mexico without the consent Of
the Mexican government and in viola
fion Of Mexico's sovereignty, the Mexi-
scan government now asks for the. i'm
nSndiate withdrawal Of those troops.
mo entrance of the American expe-
dition after, the Glenn Springs raid.
the note declares. places in grave dan
ger the harmony and good relations
which ought to exist between the goy-
ernments Of the United States and
Mexico" Il
Mexico Didn't Consent.
The note recites that the American
troops crossed the border after the CO.
1uunbus incident without permission Of
the Mexican government. The act was
not considered one Of invasion then
solely because the United States said
they had misinterpreted the attitude Of
the Mexican government.
When the second expedition crossed
the line after the Glenn Springs in
cident, the note maintains, the plea
that this was done with the consent of
the Mexican consul at Del Rio, Tex.
is untenable. and that act can only be
considered as one of invasion.
"The Mexican government, therefore.
invites the United States to bring an
end to this unsupportable situation"
note concludes. "and to support its
protestations and declarations of
friendship by an immediate Withdraw
al of American troops"
Time to State Case.
Maintaining that the protests of
friendship by the United States and
the expressed desire for noninterven~
ton have been eontradicted bby acts
of the Washington government, the
note says the time has arrived when
Waahinxt. must declare itself clearly

and unequivocally as to its future in

and unequivocally as to It's future in-
tentions toward Mexico.
After reciting the facts which led
TO the first crossing Of the frontier by
the American troops after the Villa
raid at Columbus, the note insists that
in contradiction Of the word of Gen.
Scott and Gen. Funston, other expedi-
tlons crossed the boundary line thus
violating all the precepts Of interna-
tional law and committing an act Of
M
Work Dons-Army Stays.
"The American government" says
the note, has admitted that the
work Of the expedition which entered
after the Columbus raid is now over.
But in spite of this fact American
troops still remain on Mexican soil.
To contend that political disorder in
this country justifles this act Of the
American military forces is In conflict
with the repeated professions Of the
Washington government relative to
noninterference."
The note points out that much of the
trouble in Mexico, is due "to the atti-
tude of the United States in not pun
ishing conspirators in the United
States who have plotted the downfall
Of the present constitutionalist govern
ment, and to the acts Of Washington
in refusing to permit the. shipment of
arms and ammunitions to enter Mex
ico."
pidn't Know Of Move.
Reviewing the developments after
the Columbus raid. the note says:
THE Mexican government had no
knowledge that American troops had
crossed the border until March II, and
this came from private sources in Ell
Paso. This government then directed a
note to the American government stat
ing that Sinasmuch as no formal agree
ment had been entered into between
the two governments the Americans
could not be considered as authorized
to send such an expedition

represented today as ready to with

determined to wait until the Carranza

Steps were taken by the war de-
partment today to obtain more definite

Paris, June 1.-More complete ac-
counts reaching here from Verdun
show that the battle which ragged from
May 27 to May 30, and which ended,
according to statement of the French
war Office, in costly check Of the
Germans, was the greatest effort made
by the Teutonic forces in the whole
great verdun operations.
More and heavier guns and denser
masses Of troops were centered along
the three mile front from Hill No. 304
to the Meuse than in any previous at
tack.
The French stood firm under an
avalanche Of shot and shell and drove
back wave after wave Of a food Of
Teutonic infantry. They surrendered
only about 100 yards of ground at
Little Caurettes wood, where a trench
had been obliterated by the terrific
fire of the German big guns.
French Regain Lost Ground.
The Germans suffered so heavily
that they ceased further attacks, while
the French by a counter attack re-
established themselves again south OF
iCumieres and won an important point
OF vantage on the southwesterrs slope
Of Dead Man Hill.
/ It DEVELOPED that during yesterday'e
battle west Of the Meuse the Germans
sent back the French line between
Dead Man Hill and Cumieres for a
DISTANCE Of three quarters Of a mile.
The French battalions, however, Hre-
formed and made desperate counter
attack, supported by reinforcements.
After nearly two hours of violent fight
ing they recovered nearly all the lost
ground. .
The infantry fighting in this section
is described as the fiercest in the war.

Opposes Wilson A. Mediator.

Berlin, June flames w. Gerard,
the American ambassador had half
hour conversation Tuesday with
Chancellor Won Bethmann -Hollweg, it
was learned today. The immediate oc-
casion for the conference was the
question Of Polish relief but the chan
cellor and the ambassador also dis
cussed topics Of more general interest.
Prof Hans Delbrueck, Of the Uni
versity Of Berlin, has written an ar
ticle in regard to American mediation
in the war in which he says there Is
something repellant to Germany in the
idea Of accepting President Wilson as
mediator. 1t Is obvious. he says, that
the syInpathiss of the president are
with the entente allies. He continued
Moreover, President Wilson. by
using in his speeches expressions
which are insulting has created an at
mosphere between us which renders a
cordial approchement no longer pos
sible. However, Germany need not
show herself inflexible as the president
has already shown himself SO unfriend-
ly that he has left almost nothing un-
done in that direction.

fused his advances, but he would never
win the support Of the American public
