MEXICO ISSUES
FORMAL DENIAL
Did Not Receive Proposal fol
Alliance Against the
United States.
(By the Associated Press)

I, Guadalajara, Mexico, March g.
General Candido Aguilar, the provis.
ional minister of foreign affairs, today
formally denied that the Mexican
government had been approached by
Germany with the object of forming
an alliance hostile to the United
States.
The statement given out by the
Mexican foreign minister says the
government of Mexico has not re-
ceived in behalf of the government OF
Germany any proposal for an alliance
looking toward war with the United
States.

are permitted to know about them.
The evidences at hand are that i

Mexico, as Germany suggested, COM
municated to Japan the proposal for
an attack on the United States, it met
with reception to Toxic which was
quite contrary to what Berlin had
expected. 1t is thought here that
Germany's announcement that she
intended to withdraw from the Pa
cif1c, as part of the making OF. peace,
was carefully planned long ago to
attract Japan to :Germany's scheme
with the prospect, not only of occu-
|pying the German possessions In the
Pacific, adding to her domination OF
that great ocean, but of settling the
long-standing friction with the Unit
ed States.
Senator stones request to have the
Lodge resolution referred to the for
eign relations committee without any
instruction as to when it should re.
port was adopted with unanimous
consent. .
Senator Stone called the foreign re-
lations committee to meet today to
consider it.
"That the president be requested
to inform the senate whether the note
signed 'Zimmermann' published in
the newspapers of March 1, inviting
Mexico to unite with Germany and
Japan in war against the United
States, is authentic and in possession
of the. government tof the United
States, and if authentic, to send to
the senate, if not incompatible with
the public interests, any further init
nation in possession of the United
States government relative to the ac-
tivities of the imperial government in
Mexico.'' ~
The Japanese ambassador made the
following comment:
with regard to the alleged Ger
man attempts to induce Japan and
Mexico to make war upon the United
States made public in the press this
morning, the japanese embassy,
wholly lacking information as to
whether such invitation ever reached
Toxic. desires to state most en-
phatically that any invitation of this
sort would under no circumstances
be entertained by the Japanese gov
|ernment, which is In entire accord
and close relation with the other pow
ers on account of a-formal agreement
and our common case,aad moreover
|our good friendship with the United
States, which is every day growing in
sincerity and cordiality.."2
The effect of the situation in con-
gress was almost instantaneous. Re-
publican senator's who had been fill
,ustering against the proposals to en-
power the president to arm ships and
use other instrumentalities to deal
with Germany began abandoning
their opposition and assured demo-
cratic leaders they would stand be-
hind the president.
In the house, without roll call, a
special rule was adopted for immedi-
ate consideration CT the Flood bill to
clothe the president with authority
and to authorize a bond issue of
$10O,OOO,00O.

commission to prepare plans for the
state industries wanted in the league
program. This bill was killed in the
senate, but in the bill as finally pass
ed the commission was revived.
The house conferees, before &C.
cepting the bill, induced, the senate
members of the committee to agree
to reduction Of the membership OF
the commission so as to make it an
effective working body and to give
the governor a free hand in naming
it.
Non-partisan members of both
houses, while not getting all that
they expected in the terminal ele-
vator matter are gratified that be-
ginning will be made in the expert
ment for state owned mills and ele-
vators, for which they have labored
unremittingly during the past 60
days, and much better feeling pre-
vailed between the membership OF
the two houses at the final outcome
of the matter.
Regents not Confirmed.
The senate declined to confirm the
governors appointments of the mem
bers of the board of regents, which
appointments were again sent to the
senate last night. What action will
be taken to remove the present board
now in control of the educational in
stitutions and place the new mem
bers appointed by the governor in
charge will probably develop In a
few days.
New Secretary r.. r. Commission.
J. H. Calderhead, formerly state
auditor of Montana for four years
now a resident of North Dakota and
q farmer, was elected secretary OF
the railroad commission to succeed
w. F.. Cushing. whose resignation
becomes effective April /.
N. D. Guard Get ss5.O00.
The amount finally agreed for the
maintenance Of the state guard for
the next two years lis $4,000. The
Ebill as It passed the. senate provided
for SIS 900, the house amended 70
100000, and a compromise was
agreed: to at $4,000.
Other Measures Passed.
House bill 427, the anti-trading
stamp bill, was passed and is now up
to the governor. Among the bills
passed was H. t.. 81, requiring men
handling meat to pass health exam

Bill 60. establishing a public well

NiKKO TEMPLE RICH IN ART
Great Shrine of the Japanese, Built
Centuries Ago, Is the Work Of
Forty Years.

What ST Peters is 70 Rome, what
Westminster Abbey is to London what
the Pantheon was to Athens that is
the temple at Nikko 70 Japan today,
II is fhe richest anil most perfect ex-
preston of the art of whole nation
in so far as that art can be gathered
into a single building. The Japanese
have been called a nation of artists,
ana IN their great temple they have
gone far toward iustifying the term.
The temple was built centuries ago
as a setting for the tomb OF the Sho-
gun Iycyasu perhaps the greatest ruler
Japan has ever known. II is the work
Of forty years OF mnumbcred scores
Of patient and nameless artists, Of nm
numbered thousands Of forgotten work
men. work that regarded neither
lime nor offort nor cost.
rho avenue OF stately pines that
leads to the temple is % miles long.
Before the building rushes boiling
liver spanncd by two bridges. red and
green. The red bridge is for the mi-
kndo, the green bridge for common hui
nanty. hut the red of the sacred
bridge is the exact tint needed to set
0f' the green Of the rincs. the gray az
Tie water and the brown Of the hills.

there to complete the picture for the

with sculpture, mosaic lacquer work.
and beaten brass competing to catch
The appreciatiye eye. II takes many

Of art in this shrine.
Nowhere is the sure instinct Of the
builders better shown than in the tomb
itself. Not In the carven and gildcd

pines. In a smooth casket of bronze
vailed in with uncarvcn stones lie the /
ashes of Iyeyasu. M

by waiting," she answered easily. And besides" she added, that will give us month for our honeymoon before your leave expires. By the way, where are we going on our we'd ding trip, Jarvis?"
 T haven't given it thought" he answered miserably. Anywhere that you wish, Inez."
 Don't be so enthusiastic about it." she exclaimed with a sudden burst of anger. "One would suppose that you were going to be buried instead of married. You're anything but cheer full bridegroom. You treat me as though I had the smallpox"
 "You know as we'll as do that don't love you," he answered brutally, "and that I am marrying you only be- cause I feel that ought to. I'll be g good husband to you, Inez, but can't be ,over."
 At any rate you can pretend to be | one" she replied. 'There is nothing to be gained by either of us letting the world know the truth. And now SUD- ipose you look over this list and see if | there are any others to whom you would like invitations sent"
 The next fortnight was crowded with pre-nuptial gaieties; luncheons, teas, dinners, receptions. dances, the ater parties, for, in spite of Inez' as- sertion that her friends had ostracised l her, there was no lack of entertain- ment in her honor. Nor could Hope detect any signs of coolness in the at l titude of those of her friends to whom he was introduced. If they believed the stories of her indiscretion. they certainly did nothing to show their
