DECLINES TC RECONSIDER
ACTION AGAINST CONSUL S
Mexico Says U. S. and British Con-
sulates at Guaymas Must Have
New Appointees or Be Closed.

Mexico has declined to reconsider its
action in canceling the exequators Of
the consuls of the United States and
Great Britain at Guaymas. If the con-
sulates are to be maintained it will be
necessary to make new appointments
The action of the Mexican govern
ment resulted from the refusal of
American Consul Simpich TO permit the
landing at Guaymas of cargo from
San Francisco consigned to a Guaymas
1rm on the enemy trading list of the
War Trade Board. German business in
terests protested and complaint was
made that the British consul had infiu-
enced the American official.
In reaching a decision the American n
and British governments will give large
consideration to the fact that beans
shipped QUO of Mexico in jute bags i'm
ported from the United States through
Guaymas form an important part of the
diet of the laboring classes in Cuba
which is co-belligerent against Ger
many. Unless the beans are available
IT is said, the United States will have
to send grain to Cuba that is needed by
the allies.

Assails Morale of People.

In the same fashion the German is
seeking to assail the morale of the peo-
pie behind the line. Another reverse
in Flanders or Picardy would have ten
fold effect. if it had been preceded by
a period of optimism and a general be-
lief that the German had "shot his
bolt" and was about to throw up the

intimate relation to the war offensive

for Amiens or the advance toward the
