INCREASES DUTIES
UPON OIL EXPORTS
Decided Raises i'm Customs Provided
i'm Decree by Department. OF
FOmento.

Mexico City, Feb. 25.-Decided in
creases in the export duties on crude
oil and it's products are provided in
"a decree outlined by the department
or Fomento and now awaiting the
signature of Gen. Carranza.
According to the decree the tax
will be graduated according to the
specific gravity of the oil. Oil of a
higher gravity than "a will be taxed
80 centavos a ton and lighter oil will
pay 10 centavos a ton additional for
each degrees less than "a. A tax or
s per cent on the commercial value
will be placed on refined products
which now pay no export tax. The
present tax of 60 centavos a ton on
crude oil Mexican consumption is
abrogated.
The proposed decree is intended to
become effective July 1. The present
export tax is 60 centavos a ton with
out regard to gravity. 1t is believed
this will increase the governments
revenues largely, but oil men say il
will make it difficult for Mexican pro.
ducers to compete with foreign COM
petitors on kerosene and gasoline and
other derivaties.

SAYS REPORTS ARE UNTRUE.
Athens Discredits Dispatches Appear
ing in Allied Press.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Greek
legation mere made public tonight a
cablegram from the Athens foreign
office describing as false and mis-
leading accounts appearing in the
Allied press OF the landing Of Allied
troops at Athens in December and
the events and negotiations which
preceded it. The message said it was
untrue that any promise had been
given Admiral du Forrnet. the Allied
commander, in regard to compensa-
tion for material yielded to the 2ul-
gars; that the documents in the So
called cession of Fort Rupel were
forged; that the Greek King did not
refuse to guarantee that order would
be kept in the streets, that the city
was quiet when the Allied forces
landed with orders to take possession
of commanding heights and that the
Greeks did not open fire first in the
clash that followed 1t also asserted
that no shot was fired upon the le,
cations and that order was reestab-
lished after the arrest by the police
of 200 individuals, since released on
demand OF the Allies.

the wilful acts and aggressions of
Others"
Four weeks of unrestricted sub
marine warfare, the president told
congress, has seen the destruction OF
at least two American ships, Ameri-
can commerce driven in large
measure from the seas through fear
OF the underseas. peril and a result
ing congestion OF Americas vital in
dustries growing more serious every
day. The fact that more American
lives had not been lost, he said, was
due more to the fact that German
submarine commanders had exercis-
ed IAN unexpected discretion and re-
straint rather than because Of the in
structions under which they were
acting"
To he unprepared, with congress
out OF session, the president said
would be "most imprudent." Con
.sequently he asked for authority to
act.

The solvency and stability of the
bank is not in the least impaired. as

In addition to this, the bank has
