NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The danger
to the American cause of pessimism
resulting from the spreading of false
reports of disasters by German agents,
was emphasized by Secretary Daniels
here tonight in an address at the an

He gave assurances that all records OF
disasters or even minor military casu-
alties had been spread broadcast
through the public press.
Senator ]. Homilton Lewis, another
speaker, outlining the cause of Ameri-
cas- entry into the war, said Ger
many's assaults upon this country's

tant cases will be submitted during

MEX. CONSUL EXCITED

Drafted in N. Y.-But He Wasn't.

New York, Oct. Juan T. Burns,
Mexican consul general here, today
charged Mexicans have been given no
consideration and that the vice con-
sui. Jesus Martinez, has been drafted.
He bitterly attacked New York's draft
boards, Hkening them to Villas "sav-
age hordes in their refusal to consider
human rights"
. Charles H. futile, chairman of the
draft board. assailed by Burns, re-
piled that Martinez had not been
drafted and that Burns had sent him
an insulting letter. An investigation
is under way.
Protest Drafting Mexicans.
Washington, Oct. 2.-The Mexican
ambassador, Ignacio Bonillas, has
made formal representations to the
state department against the drafting
of Mexicans, particularly from the
border states. In some cases where
it is shown that MeMcans have been
taken thru irregular practice of the
exemption boards, the state depart
ment has had the men released.
In other cases. however, the cases
are complicated because of the differ
ence in the constitutions of the two
countries Mexico holds that a man
born abroad of Mexican parentage is a
Mexican unless he voluntarily forfeits
his citizenship. The United States
holds that a person born here is an
American citizen

BARS DOWN IN ORIENT
Japan's Intention To Protect China,
Not a monroe Doctrine"

New York, Oct. 2.-Viscount Ishii,
head of the Japanese commission, was
on record today as reiterating his
pledge that Japan would maintain an
open door in China, protect China
against aggression and would not it
self violate that nations territorial
rights.
Speaking to a gathering of editors
and city officials last night, he made
these statements, but declared Japan's
attitude should not be construed as a
Monroe doctrine in Asia, as several
New York paper styled.
Il want to make it clear to you"
he said, that the application of the
term Monroe doctrine to this policy
and principle, voluntarily enunciated
and pledged by me, is inaccurate
There is this fundamental difference
between the Monroe doctrine of the
United States as to Central and South
America and Japan's attitude toward
China. In THE first there is on the
part of the United States no engage
ment nor promise, while in the other
Japan voluntarily announces that
rJapan will herself engage not to vio-
late the political or territorial integ-
rity Of her neighbor."

Picking of cotton is general and is
being pushed except in the northern
part of the belt, the department of ag-
riculture reported.
There is complaint" it says, "of a
scarcity of pickers in many sections.
This is attributed to a migration of
negro farm hands during the winter
