NO LAND GRANTS
TO JAP SUBJECTS
CLAIMS MEXICAN
Denies Foreigners Have Been
Authorized to Buy Land in
Lower California.
(By Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, Mex, April Sal
vador Gomez, chief Of staff of the de-
partment of agriculture and develop
ment, officially denied today reports
that Japanese subjects have bought
lands in lower California. His state
ment was issued on behalf Of the de-
partment in the absence Of Pastor
Rouaix. the secretary Of commerce,
labor and agriculture. 1t reads as
follows:
81 can say that up to the present
there has been no sale Of lands In
lower California to Japanese subjects;
neither has the department of develop
ment authorized anything giving for
eigners rights to large extensions OF
lands in that section.
Moreover. since our constitution
prohibits the sale Of national lands,
this department, In accord with Presi-
dent Carranza, is giving special atten-
tion to all matters referring to lower
California. Concessions of territory
in that part of the republic which
have been authorized have been for a
reduced number of hectares and to
residents of various small villages Of
that territory, following the policy Of
creating small land holdings with the
object OF favoring the natives"
Japanese Statement.
Baron Fugitaro Otori, Japanese
minister to Mexico, tonight issued the
following statement regarding the dis
cussion over alleged attempts by Jap
anese interests to purchase lands in
lower California:
"a tempest In a teapot has been
created and think the importance
the American press has given this
question Is due to some political man
euver, caused by the nearncss Of the
next presidential campaign 1t may
be that there are no concessions In
Lower California that favor the inter
ests of my country. Only near the
town Of Mexicau exists a small jap
anese agricultural colony that Guilt
Yates rice, but this is absolutely lack
ing in importance.
THE only paying exploitation that
can be made in that part of Mexico
is for the development of minerals
deposits, and this Is beyond the mod
est resources Of the only Japanese
colony located in that region. l am
sure that II the American Department
OF State has asked it's embassy here
for information, the embassy must
declare that there are no concessions
in Lower California favoring japanese
interests"

FRENCH ASK TERMS
OF NEW ALLIANCE
Papers Press Demands for
Information on Agreement.

fNRIs, April 20.-President Wilson
had conference with Premier Clemen-
ceau this afternoon. From a high source
in the American delegation It was
learned to-day that the American atti-
tude on the reported alliance among the
Powers to guarantee the safety of
France against attack by Germany was
that no alliance would be entered into
by the United States that was not con-
sstent with the spirit OF the League OF
Nations.
The extent OF the guarantee which the
United States and Great Britain have
given continues to be the foremost topic
in the French press. The French repre-
sentatives maintain that the guarantee
takes the form OF an alliance The Mqtin
says:
This alliance has already been
drawn in the form OF very brief
text stpulating that the three Pow
ers will give each other mutual sup
port II Germany attacks us again.
The signature Of the stipulation will
occur at the same time as the sign

LONDON. April 2o.-The Irish strike

Ing into a general demonstration in
favor Of independence, resulting in a
complete tieup which is seriously af-

mits for workmen to fulfn contracts
in exceptional cases, but ordinary labor
Is barred. Only three newspapers
have been published since Friday in
Limerick, the fourth refusing to ap-
pear with the caption: by permis-
sion of the strike committee
It is intended TO extend the tleup gen.
orally over all Ireland. backing UP the
demand of Limerick and forcing the Gov
ernment to withdraw the military law.
A meeting OF the national committee is
to be held in Limerick Tuesday, when
1t Is intended to issue proclamation
aimed especially to influence opinion in
the United States by emphasizing Presi-
dent Wilson's declaration:
Shall the military Of any nation
or group Of nations be suffered to de-
ternine the fortunes of people over
whom they have no right except of
force"
Both Limerick and Dublin present
extraordinary scenes Of calm revolt the
people gather n the streets occasionally

vehement speaker. form a parade and
march a few blocks, then break up and
( gather on the street corners quietly to
! resume their discussions.
There has been little tendency to VIC.
lence. but on Saturday evening mas,
meetings called by the strikers exhibited
belltgerent attitude and refused tc
pass further resolutions outlining thei,
| policy. They declared they were through
with words and intended to carry on tn,
! strike until the military law was ended
obtaining action in other parts OF Ire
land. II any attempt Is made to breal
the strike, they announced, they woulc
meet force with force.

mediation except in private houses tn,

when there will be conference Will

ance of order in Limerick or any othe
