CROWN COUNCIL
HELD IN BERLIN

London. July 1o.-The Crown Coun-
ell called by Emperor William was held
in Berlin yesterday, according TO an
Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Amsterdam today, but no announce
ment as to what took place at the
gathering has been made.
The German public is very uneasy
regarding the absence OF news as 70
the decisions of the Crown Council
which the Emperor held yesterday
saws the dispatch. Only in times OF
greatest stress are such meetings held.
Other advices from the same source say
that the meeting Of the crown council
lasted three hours. being one Of the long
est on record since July. 1914. when En-
peror William signed the mobilization or
der that preceded the declaration Of war.
The ministers Of both the empire and
the kingdom were in attendance. together
with the members Of the emperor's mill
tary and naval cabinet.
1t is believed says the dispatch, that
one Of the results Of the council will be
the introduction OF a franchise bill for
Prussia granting universal. direct suf-
frage and the secret ballot.

led to tn, authoritative statement to-
day that any such move would not be
tased on advice given by the American
government.
1t was stated that no suggestion Of
an active endorsement Of the position
of the United States has gone to Mex
leo City from Washington except the
general note addressed to all neutral
governments upon the rupture Of re
lations with Germany in March. It
was made clear. Furthermore. that
while the American government would
welcome a friendlier attitude by Mex
leo, many high officials believe that
lest interests of most Of the nations
concerned would be served if the
southern republic maintains neutral
ity in the world war.

Is. much remains to cause concern to
the American government. This cir
cumstance is considered important be-
cause a break with Germany would
give Mexico an opportunity to get
money and credit from the United
States under certain obligations.
Those officials who have not been
eager to see Mexico join in the war do
not object to seeing General Carranza
supplied with money, but they believe
without contributing much real aid to
the Allies Mexico would make it hard
for the United States, France. Great
Britain and other nations with griev-
ances against her 10 assume stern
attitude after the war. That Mexico
might not by that time have straight
ened out her troubles is admitted as a
possibility and it might be awkward
to take the proper steps regarding a
recent ally.
Today was the operative date of
Gen. Carranza's new schedule Of ex-
port taxes on crude oil and it's deriva-
tives. on which the British feet largely
depends for fuel.
It is not believed by American off,
Gals that any serious Gripping of the
oil industry or supply will result. Any
fear that the Mexican government
might physically take possession Of the
wells is Offset by the fact that Man
uel Palaez. one of the revolutionary
leaders, still. is in possession of the
greater part of that field. Palace and
the oil operators have worked in har-
rlony.
Late reports to the state depart
ment have served to allay the alarm
prevalent at one time that German
vaccinations in Mexico might prove
embarrassing. Although there are 16
wireless plants in Mexico. American
officials are convinced that none is be-
ing used and none can be "snH for
transmitting news to Germany on to
