ECKHARDT DENIES
KNOWING OF NOTE
German Minister to Mexico Refers
CueStioner to Washington for
Information.

MEXICO CITY, March 2.-Ernesto
CARA Perez, sub secretary Of the FOR
eign office in the absence of secretary
Aguilar, said Yesterday that he was all
solutely ignorant as to whether or not
the German minister had made anv
proposition to Mexico for an alliance.
He also denied that there had been any
meeting between the German minister
and Carranza in Queretaro.
Herr Won Eckhardt, the German
minister to Mexico said:
q don I know anything about the
matter. | have not made such a pro
posal to the Mexican government. /

formation.
The japanese minister, Otha Tame.
kicki was astonished when informed
about the Zimmerman note. He said
no proposition had been made to him
by the de facto government for the
formation Of such an alliance, and he
| laughed when asked if he believed
Japan would abandon England and her
other allies to ioin Germany.
AT the Austrian legation the opinion
was expressed that the news of thc
note was incorrect and amounted to
nothing more than press jingoism. The
general belief here is that the note is
not genuine. Mexico has not obtained
, munitions from Japan.

ambassador, left early Yesterday with

BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Washington.-"Firs In the Fight" Is
the wartime slogan of the United

delis," always Faithful" is their
motto in peace and war.
So II would seem that If good works,

the Marine corps hymn:

The United States Marines.
Recently Uncle sam has ordered an
Increase In the number of his marines
to war strength of 10000 men,
which numerically means 1000 more
men than there are In II division Of

When congress recently increased
the pay of the army 1t also Increased
the pay OF the navy and of the Ma

tiers the Marine corps will receive $50

CHINA REPUBLIC OVERTHROW.
President Deposed by Dictator, and

London, July 3.-After an existence
OF less than seven years, the Chinese
republic has ceased to exist, according
to advices from Peking. Reuter- dis
patches stated that an ultimatum was
served on President Ii Yuan Hung by
the military dictator, Gen. Chang

ones, for the enlisted men to be rec.
ommended for student course at An
napolis, there to be educated and
trained and upon graduation to re-
ceive a commission either In the Ma.
rine corps or in the navy. The law
also provides for the promotion Of
noncommissioned officers to warrant
rank in the grades of marine gunners
and quartermaster's clerk. Such Off.
GERS receive from SLIPS to $500
year, and are entitled to the same
privileges Of retirement as warrant
officers In the navy.
There is n chance for marines to
make money In addition to their pay.
Mess stewards, mess sergeants, mess
men. clerks. and men assigned to avia-
tion duty receive amounts varying
from $3.50 to $15 per month In addi-

Rate Of Pay in Navy.
The law increasing the pay of the
men In the navy has just been enacted
and the pay tables under the new dis
pensntion have not yet been made out,
but II Is simple thing to determine
the rate of pay of each seaman of
whatever class by adding to the pay
given In the accompanying table the
amount OF increase in each case. The
Increased pay allotment has just gone
into effect. Below is given the navy
wage table, with the pay MS it stood
prior to the recent act of congress. In
order to know what ench mans pay
now Is, 1t Is only necessary to know
that every man now drawing less than
VI month will receive an increase of
$40 month; that every man drawing
at present from 500 to S24 a month, in
elusive, will receive So a month addi-
tiohal; that every man drawing more
than VA and less than S45. will receive
W month additional, and that every
man drawing at present $40 or more
month will receive SO a month addl-
tional pay.
IT should be borne in mind that the
apprentice seaman, the ordinary boy
recruit who ordinarily gets s17.6O n
month, Will be receiving at the time
that this is read $15 additional, maxi
ing his pay $500.
