The text of the note as transmitted by the American charge at Mexico City follows:
 q have not failed to transmit to my government the note of the Nexi- can government, dated Nov 26. 1919, with reference to the case of William o. Jenkins. American consular agent at Puebla, and I am now in re ceipt of a reply from the govern ment of the United States, which I am Instructed immediately to trans init to you
 '"The government Of the United States declines to be drawn into a judicial discussion of irrevelant matters or unimpOrtant incidents brought for ward in connection with this case. The Mexican government cannot be misled, as it intinlates, by the citation by the United States of mo principle or precedent of international law and not even a reason for Jenkins re- lease; for obviously no such citation is necessary for the enlightenment of a government of the present one. The Mexican government believes, and rightly so, that the American request for Jenkins release is not based on solely the strength of the country which makes it. for it knows the re quest is founded on the justice Ot the right of an American citizen and United StaEes consular officer to fair treatment while residing and dis charging his duties within Mexican Jurisdiction with the knowledge and approval of the Mexican gOvernment.
 ''The Mexican government may con tend that the imprison ment of the victim is necessary for the investiga- ton by a judge under the constant vigilance of public opiniOn' of the truth regarding his abduction and that a, right of release in bail is a palliative for such wrongful impris- onment, but the United States is con- strained to the opinion that such ar gumeEts are mere excuses. The gov. ernment of the United States invites and desires the fullest possible exam ination of this case, but it cannot ad- init that 1t is necessary in order to ascertain the facts that MT. Jenkins should be retained in prison even with the privilege of applying for bail. My government will not and is sat isfied that MT. Jenkins will not place any obstacle in the way of a complete and a full examination of himself of his witnesses or Of the events leading up to and connected with his abduc- ton.

 perfect Knowledge of the Mexican penal laws proceeds to explain with refinement the intriCac cies of Mexican penal proceedings. But the govern ment of the United States fails to dis cern ill their application to this case at the hands of Mexican authorities any approximation to impartial treat menc of Jenkins and the Mexican gov ernment knows the absence of such treatment is the reason for the Aneri- can request.
 "The Mexican government main tains that it cannot grant the request of the United States for Jenkins re lease for the reason that under inter- national laws no diplomatic interven- tion is appropriate unless a denial of justice has occurred and because the Merican government is not in a posi- ton to demand Jenkins release in view Of the separation of the execu- tive and judicial powers under the Mexican form of government and the independence of the state courts, by one of which Jenkins is held.

the work Of extending home service

the work Of extending home service
to every needy family in Augusta.
The Augusta Chapter will become an
associated charities, and vastly more
not an organization to supplant pres
ent organizations but rather an
organization to work with them
clearing house for the charity Of Au-
gusta, guided by trained workers,
equipped with ample funds, ready to re-
Eeve suffering. on big scale or small.
The organization is ready. the traine"
workers are ready and it remains only
for the membership drive of Nov. 2 to
this great humanitarian work.
Many Of our most progressive indus
trial PLAN today have their own social
workers, who keep in touch with the
families Of employees and serve as
friendly visitors as we'll as advisers
and helpers in time of need.
Both employers and employees in such
plants realize the service which is per-
formed by these social workers and
with a we'll equipped establishment if
these workers were lacking.
1t Is a similar function that the Angus
ia Red Cross Home Service is perform
ing for the families of soldiers and
which is now offered to civilians in its
territory.
The Red Cross visitor solved many
problems for the mother and wife left
behind when the man of the family
went overseas. Now that the soldier mas
returned to civilian life he finds the
Home Service section as indispensable
to him as i. was 20 Ifs family.
In addition to friendly visiting this
important branch of Red Cross work
includes an Information Service, which
is proving invaluable.
Any question which now troubles
either soldier or civilian may be taken
to the Red Cross. OF the 100000 families
with which the Home Service Sections
Of the Red Cross have been in touch
since December. 1917, more than 50 per
cent established their first contact with
the organization by seeking information
rather than financial aid.
The Red Cross will not interfere with
any relief agency already existing. but
rather aims to Cooperate with it. If
the worker of any charitable or
ganization finds difficult problem and
would like outside assistance. the Red
Cross will willingly lend a hand
Three thousand three hundred Home
Service Sections operate, however in
communities where no other social
agencies exist. and since these districts
comprise 30 per cent Of the sections, the
necessity for the work is apparent.
Home Service is one Of the most i'm
portant parts Of the peace time pro-
gram, and large per cent Of the money
