Declines to Comply With U. S.
Demand For Release of

Washington Makes 1t Clear That No
Dangerous Crisis Exists and
Case Is Expeeted to Be
Settled Peacefully.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Mexico's
note refusing to comply with the state
departments recent demand for the
release of William O. jenkins, the
American consular agent imprisoned
at Puebla on a charge that he con-
nived with the bandits who kidnapped
and held him for ransom, has been re-
ceived in Washington.
Americas next step in the ex-
change of notes with Mexico probably
will be a demand that the Carranza
government to supply more complete
details of the charges against Jenkins
and permit tirsthand investigation by
IN American representative, it was
learned at the state department.
May Be Sent Ultimatum.
The government, it is understood,
desires to have M. E. Hanna of the
American embassy in Mexico City go
to Puebla and personally review the
entire matter, making a secret report
to the state department., which would
be checked up with the detailed report
the Mexicans will be asked to furnish.
Meanwhile, it was suggested this
government would advise Jenkins to
take advantage of the Mexican offer to
set him free on bail.
If the Mexican report does not agre.
with Hanna's, or if the Mexicans re,
fuse to supply more details, the United
States may send a fiat ultimatum to
Carranza ordering Jenkins release. In
the meantime, however, it was made
clear that no dangerous crisis exists
and that the entire situation is ex-
pected to be settled peacefully.
Declares Demand Unjust.
The Mexican note, which was in re-
ply to a demand by the American
state department, declared the case
was in the hands of the local authori.
ties and that the constitution forbids
the president to interfere in the affairs
of the various states.

APPEALS FOR PEACE
Peace League Calls On Senate
To Ratify Treaty.
Says Defeat Of Ratification Received
BY Country with Surprise and
Indignation.

New York, Nov. 24.-Settlement of
differences over the peace treaty to
permit its ratification as soon as pos
urged in a statement issued by the
League to Enforce Peace, at the con-
clusion of a special meeting of the
executive committee.
Former President William H. Taft,
president of the league, presided.
Among other things the statement
says:
"The deefat of ratification has been
received by the country with sur
prise and indignation. The people
want peace. They want peace and
they want a league of nations to
guard the peace. Whose name it
bears, which party brand it wears,
they care not at all. They longed for
and expected ratification before adj
journment of the Senate.
1.-The making of peace is no more a
party question than was the making
of war. The American people, with
out regard to party, stood behind the
war until the day Of victory. With
like unanimity they now stand behind
the treaty.
shall the small minority who op-
pose a league Of nations in any form
defeat ratification? Shall fifteen
stand in this world crisis? Eighty
senators have shown by their votes
that they favor the great principle
of the league Of nations. The fate
Of the treaty rests in their hands.
They have the votes. They have the
power. Theirs is the responsibility.
"The failure to ratify the peace
treaty has encouraged social unrest
both at home and abroad. Europe
must have supplies or it will face
starvation and anarchy this winter.
Our farmers, cotton planters, live
stock raisers and manufacturers have
large surplus production which they
can market only in Europe. The
rSaes of exchange already demon
strate the collapse of any national
credits. These credits, resting upon
commerce and international secure
ties, are the foundation of our con-
Ii1lueu anu are VITAL TO the
maintenance Of order and life in
Europe.
"Men and women of America, this
is your problem. Your interests, your
welfare, the honor and the future Of
your country are involved. Your will
is the supreme command for the men
in Washington entrusted by your
votes with guiding the nation along
the paths of peace and victory.
"The treaty should be ratified at
the earliest possible moment after the
Senate reconvenes December 1. In
the name of thousands Of Americans
who have died to bring peace and end
war, and of millions of Americans
who have toiled and sacrificed to that
end, we call Upon the Senate to for
get prejudice and ~partisanship and
agree upon a resolution of ratification
couched in terms that will permit the
other signatories of the treaty to &C
quiesce in the conditions of our rati
tication."
