MEXICO ASKS AN EMBARGO.
carranza Agent Delivers Memorial to
Neutral Nations.

Washington.-Susp that Ger
man agents are prompting activities
in Mexico which might develop into
a flank move against the United
States II this nation becomes involved
in war with Germany was increased
Monday. The Mexican governments
representative, II. p. de Negri, deliv-
cred to Secretary of State Lansing a
memorial to the neutral nations OF the
world by General Carranza, proposing
mediation between the European bel
ligerents and, If this fails. an embargo
by all neutrals of the export of war
munitions and food. Carranza offers
the plan as a means OF starving the
belligerents into peace.
Inasmuch as such an embargo
would aid Germany and injure the al
lies and. as Germany once urged the
United States to impose such an en-
barge. the action of Carranza aroused
the suspicion that he has yielded to
German influence
1t was suggested that Carranza may
contemplate shutting off the supply of
Mexican oil to the British warship.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE Presi-
dents reply to the German request
Tor an exchange of views follows:
In view of the appearance in the
newspapers of Feb. II of a report that
Germany was initiating negotiations
with the United States in regard to
submarine warfare, the Department of
State makes the following statement:
"A suggestion was made orally to
the Department OF State late Satur-
day afternoon by the minister of
Switzerland that the German govern
ment is willing to negotiate with the
United States, provided that the COM
mercial blockade against England
would not be interfered with.
AT the request of the secretary of
state this suggestion was made in
writing and presented to him by the
Swiss minister Sunday night.
This memorandum was given inn
mediate consideration and the follow
ing reply was dispatched Monday:
My Dear Mr.. Minister am re-
quested by the President to say to
you, on acknowledging the memoran-
dun which you were kind enough to
send to me on the 1lth inst. that the
government of the United States
would gladly discuss with the German
government any questions it might
propose for discussion were 1t to with
draw its proposition OF the 3lst of
January, in which, iuddenly, and
without previous intimation of any
kind, it cancelled the assurances
which it had given this government
on the 4th of May last; but that 1t
does not feel that 1t can enter into
any discussion with the German gov
ernment concerning the policy of sub
marine warfare against neutrals
which 1t is now pursuing unless and
until the German government re
news its assurances o: the 4th of May
and acts upon the assurance
mo other interchange on this sub
ject has take- place between this gov
ernment and any other government or
person"

Thin. brittle, colorless and scraggy
