WILSON URGES PEACE
OUTLINES CREED TO BRING AN
END TO WORLD WAR.
Demands Freedom Of the Seas as One
Of Principal Peace Terms-Hints
at Mediation.

Washington, May 30.-President
Wilson, in an address on Saturday be-
fore the League to Enforce Peace. in
Dictated In a guarded way that he is
seriously considering the offering of
his services as mediator in the Euro
pean war and outlined to some extent
the basis upon which he thinks the
warning nations should make their
agreement.
His statement was taken by many
of those who heard him to mean that
Mr.. Wilson may in due time offer his
services as a peacemaker on his own
initiative instead of waiting until he
has received formal request to do so
from one or more of the belligerents,
a point by which he has guided his at.
titude regarding mediation in the
past.
There were two sentences in the ad.
dress which were taken to indicate
the presidents intention. They fol-
low:
The desire of the whole world now
turns eagerly toward the hope Of peace
and there is Just reason why we
should take our part in the council
upon this great theme. 1t Is right that
!, as spokesman of our government,
should attempt to give expression to
what l believe to be the thought and
purpose of the people of the United
States in this vital matter.
Our own rights as nation, the
privileges and property of our own
people have been profoundly affected.
We are not mere disconnected look
ers-on. The longer the war lasts the
more deeply do we become concerned
that it should be brought to an end
and the World permitted to resume its
normal life and couIse again.
Mr.. Wilson laid down a broad prin-
ciple Of right upon which he would
seek to have the world guided.
He first stated that every people
has the right to choose the sovereignty
under which it shall live.
He asserted that the small states
have the right to enjoy the same re-
spect for their sovereignty and terri
torial integrity as the larger, and said
that the world has the right to be free
from every disturbance that has Its
origin in aggression.

Made at Arlington.

Washington, June president
Wilson, speaking at the Memorial day
services in Arlington cemetery on
Tuesday, summoned solemnly" all
men in the United States to set their
purposes in accord with the spirit of
America and gave warning that men
from other lands who do not think of
America first must be cast out of our
tolerance"
The president said that America will
not submit to aggression either from
within or without.
I'VE are not only ready to cooper.
ate, but we are ready to fight against
aggression" declared the president.
1--WE are ready to fight for our rights
when our rights are coincident with
the rights of mankind"

MUST RELEASE MAIL
U. S. SENDS NOTE TO BRITAIN
AND FRANCE.
Must Stop Seizures-To Make Claim
for losses-No Time Limit
Is Set.

Washington, May 29.-The United
States, denouncing interference with
neutral mails, has notified Great
Britain and France that it can no
longer tolerate the wrongs which
American citizens have suffered and
continue to suffer through the law
less practice" those governments have
INDUCED in, and that only radical
change in policy, restoring the United
States to it's full rights as neutral
power, will be satisfactory.
This notification is given in the
latest American communication to
the two governments, the text of
which was made public on Saturday by
the state department. The time In
which the change must be effected is
not specified, but the United States
expects prompt action.
Generous and vexatious abuses
which have been perpetraled by the
British and French governments in
selling and censoriug neutral mails
are recited in the communication,
and answers are made to the legal
arguments contained in the reply OF
the entente governments to the first
American note on the subject.
It is vigorously set forth that not
only have American commercial in
terests been injured but that the
rights of property have been violated
and the rules of international law
and custom palpably disregarded
Notice Is served that the United States
soon will press claims against the Brit
ish and French governments for the
losses which already have been sus
tanned.

country--Must Prove Declared
Friendship for Republic.

Washington, June demands that
the United States withdraw its troops
and limitations that the American
government is not acting In good
faith are contained In 12,000word
note from General Carranza, deiiv'
cred to the state department on
Wednesday by Eliseo Arredondo. Mexi-
can ambassador designate.
An explanation of the actions OF
the Wilson administration Is re-
Quested.
Added to this is a well-defned sus-
picion in the mind of Carranza and
his advisers that the American gov
eminent, while making protessations
OF good will and friendliness, is pre-
pairing for any emergency In Mexico,
and to prove this contention Carranza
cites the practical embargo on arms
and ammunition, he having received
no shipments for weeks. 1t also Is
declared that machinery which was
ordered weeks ago for Carranza ar
senals is held up by order OF Wash
ington.
The note reviews at length all ne
gotiations between the two nations
since the raid OF Columbus. The
promise CT the United States that no
more troops would be sent into Mex
SEQ but those under Pershing Is re-
called, and in the next paragraph Is
detailed the trip Of the second puni-
tive expedition under Colonel Sibley.
This is limited as an evidence OF bad
faith on the part of the United
States.
The Mexicans declare that all
troops on Mexican soil today are
there in violation of treaties and
agreements, and the request is made
that they be withdrawn Immediately;
that both governments maintain
patrol on their own sides of the lines;
that no more American troops be
taken into Mexico, and that those now
in that country abandon the works
they have erected since Pershing went
across the line.
The Mexican government there
fore invites the United States to
bring to an end this unsupportable
situation" the note concludes. land
to support its protestations and dec
larations Of friendship by an immedi-
ate withdrawal of American troops"
State department officials regard the
note not as an ultimatum, but as a
continuance of the negotiations with
the CarranZa government.

Auditor General o. 3. Fuller Says
There 10 Little Chance That the
Treasury viii Be Empty at the End
Of the Year.

Lansing.-Auditor General o. #. Full
Ter says there is little chance that the
state treasury will be empty at the
end of the present year. as the strong
box now contains a balance OF more
than $5.000,000, and unless something
entirely unexpected happens there will
be sufficient funds to meet all expenses
during 1916.
This is different situation than the
one confronting the state officials a
year ago. Predictions were made at
the close of the legislature In 1915
that Michigan would be broke" be-
fore the end of the year, and it was
only by refusing to pay all claims ex-
cepting vouchers that Auditor Fuller
and Treasurer Haarer succeeded In
keeping the wolf from the door.
Some Of the county treasurers. ac-
cording to Auditor General Fuller,
have not RENTED the total amount Of
their state taxes and he estimates that
there is still $1,000,000 outstanding
that should have been paid by
March 1.
The auditor general is sending
warning letters to "a county treasur-
ers informing them that their delin-
quent returns must be made to his de-
partment before the first day Of June.
II this is not done the delinquent
taxes will be charged to the counties
failing to make returns. The treasur-
ers failing to file delinquent returns
