MEXICAN GOVERNMENT
 HAS WARNED GERMANS
That They Must Not concentrate Near
 the American Border.

Washington. April 26.-Oficiai ad- vices to the state department today said the Mexican government had warned Germans in Mexico that any concentration of Germans near the American border will be followed inn mediately by their arrest.
 In conveying this notice the Mexican authorities explained that they could do no less in view of the fact that a state of war exists between Germany and the United States. Officials of the American government were grati- fled by this first practical manifesto tion of Mexico's proclaimed neutrality. Suggestions that her proclama ton of neutrality was only a thin covering for a more friendly feeling for Ger many never have been accepted by the American government. but knowledge of the instructions of the German of flee to Minister Eckhardt in Mexico City to do what he coui dto secure Mexico as an ally in the event of war with the United States has caused all developments in Mexico to be watched carefully.

TWO GENERAL ELECTIONS
 IN HOLLAND THIS YEAR
Statesmen are Trying to Avoid the
 PeriIs of Political Battle.

The Hague, Netherlands, April B. Two general elections are due this year but because of her dangerous position in tho vicinity of the arena Of war. Holland wants to avoid hold ing either. Statesmen and po.iticialS believe they have solved tfs problem how to avoid exposing the nation to the perils of a political battle at this critical time.
 The four years life of the present parliament automatically comes to an end next June. That would bring she first election. The second election constitution that long has been oc- cupying the Dutch Parliament, and which has now only to pass the first Chamber to complete the first stage of it's legislative voyage. The con- stitution of the country demands that lafter such a revision has passed it's first reading, the two chambers shall be dissolved and a fresh election held thus giving electors an opportunity of expressing their opinion on the pro- posed changes.
 Should the parliament then elected again pass the revis~- and it be pro- claimed law, third neral election must take place in 1S1s under the new and the new system of proportional representation and uni- yersal manhood suffrage.
 The politicians propose to eliminate the first of this years elections by having parliament, dissolved on the first reading of the constitutional re- vision and just before it's four years existence would lapse, thus making the two elections coincide.
 There stii1 remains one eIetcion to be held in 1917. To make this d for nal affair and insure the return of the present parliament, the political leaders have agreed that each party shaH retain its present seats tnop- posed. This decision is based on the aNfA 1( the constitution fs approved by viF- tua11y the whole states-genera1,
 This plan has been endorsed by the party caucuees, on the understanding that no legislation involving political principles shall be introduced in the twelve months existence of the par 1iament thus constituted.
 Assuming that this plan duly mate

 put liberal ministry Is expeGted to remain in power. for the main current Of public opinion still seems to favor the maintenance of the cabinet that has firmly maintained the country's neutrality and kept it out of the war.
 But there is another side of the picture. Groups have even been formed which propose to put a spoke in the wheel of government and party politicians by nominating candidates of their own and contesting some of the principal seats next June. Such critics sweepingiy condemn the con Stituiona1 revision.

NOTED JAPANESE WRITERs
 PRAISE PRESIDENT WILSON
Recognizes in Him . Courageous Statesman Wfh Great Reserve Force.

Tokio. April z6.-President Wilson is hailed as a courageous upright states man. and a man of great reserve force by five noted Japanese writers who select him for a symposium of views n well-known Japanese review Among the contributors are pr. Inazo Nitobo and Professor M. Anezaki former exchange professor at Harvard University.
 Prof. Anezakf wrote: 'Mr. Wilson is a statesman of no policy; he is~ a man of ideals and high principles At times he may appear narrow beca use of his iHamutable principles; and his ideals may seem vague for the reaso of their being too high. Bnt as a man who respects his own ideals and prin eiples in the teeth of all opposition. he has ever been the same either as president of a university, governor Of a state or as President of the United States.
 AS president, Mir Wilson has shown himself to be a man who has the courage to express his opinion and the courage to put that opinion into prac- tice. There is no catch-penny cheap ness about his manners He never speaks to the gallery. He makes no elaborate organizations ere he arrives at any decision. and once having formed t he never changes it.
 MT Wilson Is paci6sG to be sure. but he not an unconditional pacfnst. As President he respects the opinion Of the American people"
