SUFFRAGE LOSES
Votes for Women Defeated in
British Commons.
CBy the International News service.) }

(By the International News Service.
London. March 2S-within grasp OF
triumph. woman suffrage went down to
defeat in the House of Commons to-
night.
However. a full days debate ON ali
angles of the question, with Premier
Lloyd George and former Premier As
pnth coming out strongly in favor Of II.
brought equal franchise nearer final VIC
tory than 1t ever has been in England,
and nearer than its boldest champions
had hoped to bring 1t at this time.
: As climax of the days session the
house voted with a rMjority Of z7s in
favor OF immediate electoral reform as
outlined by the recent conference, head
ed by the speaker of the commons. That
program did include woman suffrage.
However. when the question came up
OF acting on tonight's vote, Chancellor
OF the Exchequer Bonar Law announced
that the government will draft a bill
providing for the reforms-except two,
woman suffrage and proportional repre-

He explained that the government had

Mexico Will Threaten War
Against u. S. As Congress
Convenes, Reports Declare
Teutons Successful in Stirring Carranza to Prom
ised Action Against America-Reservists
Mobilizng for Attack on Border

1t is known that the German minister
to Mexico, Won Eckhardt, went to Car
rama directly after the expose of the
note and explained that 1t had been the
original plan of the German foreign Of
fee TO withhold the communique from
Mexican consideration until there was an
outbreak Of hostilities between Germany
and the United States. He theF stated
that, since the United States had stolen"
the note. Germany had no further re-
ticence in presenting 1t directly for the
consideration Of the Mexican government.
In the meantime. every German agent
and influence in Mexico began concen-
trating pressure on Carranza. The Pro-
visional President sent assurances to the
American State Department that he had
not the slightest intention Of aligning his
regime with Germany against the United
States. In Justice to Carranza 1t must
be stated that he did not wilfully misrep-
resent the facts as they existed at that
time. It was not until two weeks later
that Teuonic pressure became too strong
for him to resist.
The Germans not only have powerful
banking interests in Mexico City, but
dominate a number Of the minor busi-
ness interests, such as the hardware
trade. It is understood that Won Eek
hardt did not play his trump card with
Carranza until the note came from Sec
retary Lansing fatty rejecting the Car
rama idea that expectation OF all sup
plies from the American nations to the
European belligerents be prohibited. In
this note Mr.. Lansing was rather brusque
in declining to cooperate with the pre-
mier jefe,' although he expressed SYM
pathy with the Carranza idea OF pro-
noting European peace.
. Carranza's Pet Plan
1t Is now known that Mr.. Lansing did
not know at that time how close the en-
barge idea lay to Carranza's heart, and
therefore did not treat 1t with the soft
ness and courtesy that he might other
wise have shown 1t. The Secretary Of
State, it is understood, has since blamed
American Ambassador Fletcher for not
giving him exact information as to the
true situation. At any rate, the note
had the unfortunate effect Of confirming
in Carranza's mind his pro-German
and Of playing right into Won
hands. SO far as bringing

wins GIRL BACK LOAN S5O,0OO,OOO
Federal Reserve Banks Fur
nish Big Sum to u. S,

The United States government yes
terday borrowed s5O.ooo.oOo for ninety
days at per cent from the twelve
Federal Reserve banks. The ninety
day certificates offered by Secretary
McAdoo were all taken up by 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
Another $4,000. 600 short-term loan
may follow. the Secretary said.
The sum was borrowed, it was
stated. in anticipation OF the receipt of
the corporation and individual income
taxes which will begin to come in in
large volume abott May Is with the
millions from these sources in hand,
Secretary McAdoo will either take up
the short-term certificates or refund
them with long-term bonds.
The need for the issue at this time
was brought about primarily by the
fact that next Saturday Secretary Nc
Adoo will draw a warrant for 5000
600 to pay for the Danish West Indies.
This sum will be drawn directly from
the Treasury's working baance, bring
ing it down to about s3O.OO0,0 900 The
latter sum was not expected to last
until the income taxes come in, SO the
loan was made to tide the Treasury
over the interim.
Secretary McAdoo was silent con-
cerning future heavy bond issues for
war purposes. 1t is understood that
none will be declared until after July l.

Special to Th. washington Herald.


New York, March 2s-Mexico will de-
clare or threaten war upon the United
States on April 3 directly after the con-
vening Of Congress in Washington, ac-
cording to reports circulating in this city
tonight.
When the Mexican congress meet. on
tho same day a sensational coup win be
sprung by the powerful German groups
In Mexico, which have at last brought
Gen. Carranza under their thumb. Mexi-
can circles here are convinced that the
action contemplated by the present
regime will be nothings less than a
declaration Of war against the United
States.
Mexico will throw the mask Off her
present sphinx-like diplomatic game as
soon as the United States declares that
a state Of war; exists between it and
Germany. Carranza has succumbed en-
tirely to the Kaiser's agents in the cap
ttal, and is ready now to do their bid
ding without question. There is little
doubt that authoritative information on
this point is in possession Of the Amer
ican government.
Would Keep U. s. Busy.
Germany's plan is to have Mexico
either make or threaten war upon the
United States with the idea Of holding
the American regular army establishment
''at home" and thwarting any possible
plan OF sending any contingent overseas
to join the French and British forces.
That the German chancellor, Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, succeeded in his plot to
embroil the United States and Mexico,
but failed to implicate Japan, Is the be-
lief of Mexicans in New York. Although
the Mexican consul in New York, Juan
]. Burns, Is guarded in his expressions
on the subject, 1t seems evident that he
has some information on the subject.
The mere fact that the American gov
eminent detected and exposed the Holl-
weg-Eckhardt note, which contained an
outline Of the entire German plot did
not in the least diminish German activi-
ties or propaganda in Mexico. In fact. 1t
rather accelerated them, and It is be.
lieved here that Carranza was not in any
way deferred from lending an ear to Ger
man wiles because the United States had
unearthed the subterranean diplomacy
which Germany had attempted.
