WASHINGTON, March 20.-The note
To General Carranza. declining his pro-
posai for neutral action to bring peace
TO Europe by cutting of exports OF
supplies To beligerents, was made
public to-day at the State DEPARTMENT.
The refusal was based. first. on the
apparent hopelcssncss of peace at pres
cht as shown in the futility Of Presi-
d"nt wilson's efforts and Germany's
attempts TO emhroil Mexico and Japan
IN war with this country. and I'm the
beh"t that any restriction of commerce
with the bclligcrents would in effect
be AN unneutral Discrimination.
Nevertheless. the note concludes. 1.-The
President would not be understood az
desiring TO impede the progress of
movement leading to the resumption
OF peaceful relations between all the
bcl!iScrents. aud would not therefore,
wish the Mexican government to feel
that his inability to act in tho present
state OF affairs should in any way miti-
gate against The attainment of the high
ideals of General Carranza by the CO.
operation Of other neutral governments
in the use Of their good offices and
friendly mediation to bring about tn.
end of tho terrible war"
NOTE REFERS no
NEW vIG0R OF WAR
The note mentions the careful and
symna thct.c consideration" which the
United Suites has given to the pro-
posal refers to the new vigor OF the
warfare. and goes on TO say
ITO render the situation still more
acute, the government Of the United
states has unearthed "A plot made by the
government dominating the centrni
powers to embroii not only the govern
ment and people Of Mexico. but also
the government and people OF Japan in
war with the United states AT the
time this plot was conceived the United
states was a peace with the govern
mcnt and people of the German empire.
and German officials and German sub
jects We're not only enjoying but abus-
ing the Liberties and privileges freely
accorded to them on American soil and
under American protection"
The note then takes up the proposal
TO cut off commercial relations with
the belligcrent nations, and refers TO
the American note to Austria Hungary
to show the policy of this government
in declining to stop munition shipments.
Believing that this position of the
United States is based upon sound prin-
ciplcs of international law" the con-
clusion says, and is consonant with
the established practice OF nations, the
President cannot bring himself
10 consider such Il modification of these
principles or of this practice as com
pliance with General Carranza's pro-
posal to suspend commercial relations
with the warning nations would entail"

we are working on the basis that
100000 people could easily come to
Nevada and secure a prosperous living
in the practically unopened territory.
said Mr.. Place yesterday. Former
colonization ideas center on the power
to get the people into a new country,
regardless if they have any money or
not.
I'VE do not want people to come to
Nevada to starve. We do not want a
man with $500 or 500, a wife, several
children and a tin stove to come here
and let the rabbits eat up his profits
We believe that a man who has suf-
ficient capital to buy land and get
water on it will find a no more pros

An excellent feature of the Presi-
dents message calls for further leg
islation relative to alien enemies in
the United States, says the Sacramen-
to Bee. He asks that wilful violations
of Presidential proclamations con-
cerning such persons, women includ-
ed, be made criminal offenses, and
that offenders be sent to penitentia-
ries and made to work like other
criminals-not fed and housed in de-
tention camps at the expense of the
Government.
There has been far too much in
diligence and toleration of citizens of
slander against our Government and
the causes and purposes of the war,
or in playing the part of spies and in
formers, plotting labor disturbances
and other mischief.
Many of these alien enemies have
done far more harm to this country in
such ways than if they had been
shooting from German trenches in
Europe.
And the alien women fomenting
trouble by Justification and malice de-
signed to undermine American loyalty
are offenders no less vicious than the
men, and should receive treatment
equally severe.-[Goldfeld Tribune.
