EMBARGO ALL EUROPE
MEXICO'S SUGGESTION
Note from Carranza Suggests New
Way of Ending War.

Nenustiano Carranza's answer to the
United States Senate was conveyed to the
State Department yesterday by Charge
d'Affaires Ramon P. DeNegri, of the
Mexican Embassy.
The answer Is a frank suggestion of an
embargo upon the expectation of supplies
which may serve longer to continue the
war in Europe. Although the note bears
recent peace proposals of Germany and
the Presidents recent address to the
the signature of Candido Aguilar, secre-
tary of foreign relations, it was stated in
the preliminary paragraph that the views
contained therein were those of the first
chief. The suggestion Of an embargo Is
contained in the following paragraph:
ITO this end the Mexican government
proposes to the government of your ex-
cellency to invite them to put an end to
the present war, either by themselves or
taking advantage of the good Office or of
the friendly mediation of all the nations
that Jointly may accept this invitation.
IF, within a reasonable length of time,
peace cannot be established by this
means, the neutral countries will then
take the necessary measures In order to
confine the conflagration to its strict
limits.
alignment with the policy of the United
States seemingly is understood by the
first chief. for further on in the docu-
ment he says:
THE Mexican government recognizes
that in its proposition it steps aside a
little from the principles of international
law"
The suggestion that neutrals should
unite to end the war was voiced in the
following paragraph:
1.-The countries that at the present time
still remain neutrals and really wish to
keep out of the struggle ought. to unite
their efforts in order to bring about an
end to the present European war as soon
as possible"

May Ask Congress.
It was suggested last night that the
President may take the bull by the
horns" and lay the entire subject be
fore Congress with a request for spe-
ciflc authorization to man merchant ships
with navy guns and gunners. This, IL
was pointed out. would be practically
equivalent to fulfilling the Presidents
promise that he would demand authority
to protect American rights. in the even,
of an overt act by Germany. 1t would
likewise prove more forceful as show
ing that the whole power of the gov
ernment was behind the move. II was
stated.

In this connection. 1t was accepted as
significant that the State Department
announced that American consular and
diplomatic officials abroad have been ask
ed to make full and complete reports Oh

the cumulative effect of continued minor
attacks on American rights at sea nigh:
constitute the overt act" required by
the President. was made by high off,
cials sometime ago.
The State Department statement max.
ing public the exchange Of memoranda
as to renewing negotiations was unique
in form, and showed clearly the signih-
canoe which the State Department al
tached to the incident. 1t read:
I'm view of the appearance in the news
