MEXICO CITY, June liza De-
fensa, a Germanophile newspaper,
devoted ALMOST its entire Issue today
to combating violently the idea of q
possibility that Mexico will join the
entente allies.
In big headlines It said every
American Atlantic seaport would be
bombarded by n gigantic German
fleet. It declared that Mexicans were
being pressed into the United States
army. notwithstanding denials by
American Ambassador Fletcher and
that the situation of the allies espe-
cially the United States. is desperate
la Defensa declared that MeXicans
have been killed in Texas and the
United States had prevented the coin
ing of Mexican money at the Phila-
delphia mint and that 1t was impos.
sible for Mexico to side with the
allies.

TRAFFIC LAWS
NOW PENDING
MEASURE INTRODUCED YES
TERDAY WILL IF PASSED, EN-
FORCE NEW REGULATIONS
ON PALAFOX STREET.
- /,

If an amendment to the traffic
ordinance, which was introduced yes
terday, is passed by the commissions
ers, it will be against the law for
any vehicle to occupy any one spot
on either side of Paiafox street from
Main to Gregory streets, between 8
a. m., and p. NJ, unless said We
hicle is actually occupied, or person
ally in charge or some accredited at
tendant. The amendment, as stated.
was read for the first time yesterday
and was allowed to take it's usual
course. Within two weeks, it is
claimed. there is every prospect of
its passage.
There were a number of reasons
for the introduction of this ordi-
nance, it was said, and one is to
keep autos from occupying space at
times in front of business houses,
preventing even the business men
from getting their own vehicles to
the front or Palafox street door. At
times, it has been known, autos are
allowed to stand for hours unat-
tended or unoccupied, in front of
business houses, at times to the detri-
ment and loss of the occupying mer-
chant. Should the autos stand. as
stated, more than twenty minutes
in front of any house fronting on
Palafox street after the proposed
amendment is passed and legislated
into force. it will mean fine and
costs in the city court

BRITISH REOCCUPY NOW
TRENCH THEY LOST

British Army Headquarters in
France, Dec. By the A. P Brit
ish troops last night reoccupied a
section of a trench on the high
ground southwest of Bourbon village
on the Cambria front, which was lost
on Friday. The town of Masnieres,
which was evacuated by the British,
was shelled last night by British ar
tillery
General Byng's troops last night
pressed near to the village of VIII
liers-Guisland. and along the ridge
southwest of that place and their line
now is fairly near the town.
1t is estimated that the Germans
had about twenty divisions for their
assault on Friday which, except for
the first Ypres battle, is regarded as
having been their heaviest attack on
the British.
The Germans attacked the British
positions at La Vacquerie, southwest
of Cambria at S:45 o'clock this morn
ing and an hour later it was reported
that they had been successfully beat
en- off. Today's attack followed
three futile attempts made by the
enemy to take this village yesterday
afternoon.
