Americans are being detained as

nounced late this afternoon by the
state department
As n result demand has been
made upon Germany for complete
and definite statement Of her attitude
concerning the departure of Ameri-
can citizens, This demand has been
made through the Spanish ambassa-
dor at Berlin, who represents Ameri-
can interests in Germany.
The action OF the German govern
mert is in complete violation Of the
Prussia American treaties of 1893
and 1928. which provide certain rights
for nationals OF either nation In the
other, in time of war.
One of these is permission to de-

lives OF Americans and resulted in
widespread destruction OF their prop

Attempted to Force Protocol.
For these reasons, when Germany
attempted to force a protocol to the
treaties reaffirming certain sections
which dealt with the liberties of ma

boundaries of the other during war.
and even sought to expand and en-
large upon some of these provisions
entirely to the advantage of Germans
in America-the United States re-
jected the proposition fatty. 1t was
recalled today that Germany attempt
ed to force Ambassador Gerard to
sign the protocol on the threat that
American newspaper correspondents
would be held hostages If he did not.
That was at the time President Wilson
broke off diplomatic relations.
Scorning the German chancellor's
threat, Ambassador Gerard was quoted
as saying he would see the German
government in hell first" while the
state department later sent a note to
Germany rejecting the proposition
completely. At that time il was in
dictated Secretary Lansing would ask
congress to denounce the treaties, but
the request was not forthcoming.
The probabilities tonight are that
early congressional action toward
wiping out the treaties will be asked
This will leave the nationals of both
countries on an even plane. and the
United States will be in position
to legislate concerning the treatment
Of alien enemies instead Of being
found by treaty obligations.
Besides the American civilians who
are being detained in Germany, latest
reports indicate Germany is holding
about 1870 other Americans in her
prison camps. They are for the most
part sailors captured on British or
other ships by German raiders or sub
marines.

raised all the year round.
The administration is not In a posi-

because OF the entente allies pressing

The project calls for the cultivation
of lands which are rich and we'll

practically over in most sections of the
United States, the Mexican districts
under consideration can be planted
with crops most needed at practically
all seasons
Another consideration is that labor
in Mexico will be available whereas
in this country one OF the greatest
problems is going to be to get the
crops harvested. Mexico. in sore
