 Senate Threatened
 With a Dea d To C k

Atlanta, August 14-With deadlock between the house and senate on the ap- propriation for the maintenance of com mon schools threatening an extraordinary session, the Georgia legislature ap- proached the time limit close of it's oo- day annual session at midnight tonight
 The house appropriation of $4,000,0oo for schools is $sOO,000 in excess of last years appropriation. This the senate cut to s3,20000O, the figure of last year.

STRONG ENEMY POSITION

With the British Army in France, Au- gust IA. 4.-(By the Associated Press.)-ln the battle area between Fouquescourt and Rove the enemy appears to be in a fairly strong position in the old trenches behind the rusty wire erected prior to July, 1916. This area is strongly garrisoned
 However, there are no immediate signs of counter offensive here or elsewhere. The enemy seems to have accepted de- feat, preferring not to attempt any opera tions which might cost him heavy losses.
 It is believed that the Germans them selves are somewhat nervous. According to the talk of prisoners, which may or may not be correct, at least five and probably more enemy divisions have been withdrawn from the fighting in an exhausted condition.
 There have been only a few real devel- opments on the British front in the past few hours. The Australians have cleared the enemy from Cateaux wood. just south of Bray, strengthening their line at the river and eliminating an enemy

ENEMY BOMBS FROM AIR

With the American Army on the Ves- le August 14.-(By the Associated Press. )-F'rom one end to the other of the Franco American line between Soisscns and Rheims and far into the back areas, the Germans dropped bombs from the air before daylight today. The remainder of the day was confined to sluggish reciprocal artil- lery duels.
 On the Hanks of the position, which are held by the French. light attacks were repulsed during Tuesday night. The French also were subjected to bomb attacks At no point has there been any alteration in the line.
 Not since the German retreat halted has there been aerial raids of the mag nitude of the one today. The Ameri- cans stood up we'll under the bombard- ment The front line was pounded and almost every village and the roads betw cen were subjected to the boni- bardment, but the great number cf bombs fell on unoccupied ground. This was taken to indicate that the German airmen were striking more or less blindly. Allied anti-aircraft guns ham, pered the enemy somewhat.
 The present German line, which is still regarded as only a temporary one, depends on a defense ofmachine guns and airplanes. The enemy has con- centrated machine guns at about one every 50 yards, density rarely Ael- fected. Their aerial defense relative ly is far superior to any established hitherto on this front.

RIGHT NOT RECOGNIZED

Tn virtue of its freedom of fiscal leg islation, it is opportune to declare that the Mexican government does not rec ; ognize the right of any foreign country to protest against acts of this nature coming from the right to exercise interior sovereignty. and in consequence cannot accept the responsibility which it is pre- tended will be charged to her account as supposed damages as a consequence Of this legislation. Such a decision is founded upon the equality which the Mexican government desires should ex ist between Mexicans and foreigners re- garding contributions decreed in it's ter ritory, because it is deemed that, con ceding the preferences to which all diplomatic intervention tends, such decision is fair to Mexico in its strict est terms.
 ''The course to be taken by foreigners and nationals alike to free themselves from inpositions which are deemed con fiscatory consists in submitting the case before tribunals, which are always found ready to administer justice in ap- plying the law, which justly guarantees individuals against confiscation of prop . erty. Furthermore, ir Is generally ad' mitted that diplomatic representation should be the last recourse taken auG only when the last recourses have been exhausted.

CAN DEMAND CHANGE

'If the provisions of the decree are openly against the laws and in viola tion of contracts previously made, ac- cording to the conception of his Bri- tannic majesty, such could not rationally constitute an obstacle to the free de- velopment of Mexican property, and this development can demand, as has hap
 pened certain changes of legislation
 beneficial to the country. This is evident
 when it is considered the modern con
 cept of property is that it is socta,
 function bound closely 10 the prosperity
 of the state
 'eThe Mexican government has a finn purpose in respect to foreign interests It gives them guarantees facilitating their development and believes that US programme can only be realized through the laws and institutions of the republic by applying dispositions equally. "Esteeming that it is the best guar. antee it can impart, the Mexican govern ment cannot see way to accept the | diplomatic protests from his Britannlo | majesty, which would have the effect I of giving English citizens unequal preference over Mexican nationals.

MEXICO SENDS HOT REPLY ID BRITAIN
 REGARDING DECREE
Says Government Free to Adopt Necessary Legisla- tion and Does Not RecOg-
 nize Right to Protest

Mexico City. August 14.-Replying to a protest of Great Britain against the pro- visions of the oil decree of February 2 which is to be declared confiscatory ana in violation of the rights of English com panies holding oil claims, the Mexican government has declared that it does not recognize the right of any foreign gov srnment to protest against decrees Of this nature.
 If holds that. by virtue of it's SOW ereien rights, the Mexican government Is free to adopt such fiscal Legislation as is, necessary. It suggests that recourse to the courts would be the proper ne'ii- od of determining whether the oil land decree is unjust and confiscatory.
 MEXICAN REPLY
 The Mexican reply follows:
 .'Without judging the exactness or ii'- exactness of the qualifications of estap- rshed taxes, the Mexican government can only express the surprise caused py 'he nota and the protest of his Britanmc majesty, for in the capacity or an iii- dependent nation in the legitimate eN- ercise of her sovereignty Mexico issued aa decree against which the only recourse that Mexican laws concede is when they iudge onerous and confscatory taxes oe- cfeed by public power
 ..The surprise of the Mexican govern, ,oant is legitimate as would be that oi any other government of free country including that of his Britannia majesty if if found that acts of interior ieglsia- ton. such as the right of imposing con tributions, were called into queslion Ds tha dinlomatic protests of the countries of subjects affected by the imposition
