plants made to the board Of health that
certain persons were not observing the
quarantine regulations q special meeting
of the board was held this afternoon and

that II such action should be taken it

A NEUTRAL MEXICO
PREFERRED BY !. 5.
Break with Germany Not ADD
vised by the Washington
Government.
FLETCHER MAKES REPORT.
He Says That Despite Improvement
Much Remains in Mexico to Cause
Concern to This Country.

Washington. July 10.-Reports that
Mexico is about to break with Germany
led to the authoritative statement to-day
that any such move would not be based
on advice given by the American govern
ment.
1t was stated that no suggestion OF an
active endorsement Of the position OF the
United States has gone to Mexico City
from Washington except the general note
addressed to all neutral governments
upon the rupture of relations with Ger
many in March. 1t was made clear.
Furthermore, that while the American
government would welcome a friendlier
attitude by Mexico, many high officials
believe the best interests of most Of the
nations concerned will be served IL the
southern republic maintains neutrality in
the world war.
Ambassador Fletcher who came here
to report in detail to Secretary Lansing
on conditions in Mexico, has told the
state department that despite some inn
provement in Mexican affairs generally,
much remains to cause concern to the
American government. This circumstance
is considered important because a break
with Germany would give Mexico an OPP
portunity to get money and place the
United States under certain obligations.
Those officials who have not been eager
to see Mexico join in the war do not
object to seeing General Carranza sup
piled with money, but they believe that
without contributing much real aid to the
allies Mexico would make 1t hard for the
United States. France, Great Britain
and other nations with grievances against
her to assume a stern attitude after tho
war
Mexico's present position has been de-
fined by her foreign office as one of
'strict neutrality" but it is in fact a
benevolent neutrality since she is per-
hitting American warships to lie in her
harbors without protest. They have been
there since the days of Huerta. the patrol
being most constant at Tampico because
of the big oil interests in and near that
port.
To-day was the operative day Of Gen.
eral Carranza's new schedule of export
taxes on crude oil and its derivatives, on
which the British fleet largely depends
| for fuel. The United States conducted a
volumnous correspondence with the Mex.
lean government after protests had been
! made to the state department by oil
| operators, but Mexico's determination not
to repeal the decree resulted in a sugges-
| ton to the oil men by the department to
pay the taxes under protest.
| 1t is not believed by American officials
that any serious Gripping of the oil In
dustry or supply will result.

WANTS FLAG STATION.
Service Commission Orders One Built
II Nelson & Hall Co. Donate site.

st. Adams, July s.-Acting on a petit
ton Of the inhabitants Of the little ham,
let of Samsonville in the town of Enos-
burg that the Central Vermont Railway
company erect station at that place,
the public service commission has ordered
that II the Nelson & Hall company will
provide and donate a suitable site for the
erection Of a flag station and deliver the
requisite instruments conveying the site
to the Railroad company. within GO days.
the Railroad company shall erect and
maintain such station and stop all regu-
lar trains there on signal from passeng-
ers desiring to board or leave trains. II
at the expiration of the 60 days desig-
mated the Nelson E. Hall company shall
not have donated the site and executed
and delivered the instruments to the rail-
road the petition will be dismissed with
out prejudice. 1t appears that the Nell
son & Hall company would derive the
greatest benefit from the station.
A petition from the freeholders Of Sam
sonvlle requesting hearing on the mat
ter as to whether the station at North
Enosburg should be discontinued was dis
missed as no good evidence was adduced
for disseminating the station.
