Furore in Official Circles.

This ha% aroused furore among
government officials here. for it is be-
lieved that should Americans follow
such methods that there is little
chance of getting fair settlement.
Owing to the situation which has
arisen as the result of the CarranZa
regime trying to reach over the head
of the American government and take
poverty of some Americans who have
ment and who are eager for almost
any kind of settlement. the State
Department or some other govern
ment agency is expected to make some
formal statement apprising the Amer
lean people that their claims can and
will be realized through safe govern
mental channels.
By such statement there would be
removed the possibility of losses
through settlements with any COM
mission which Carranza might chose
to send to this country.
Feeling in government circles Is
growing intense. Tolerance of Car
ranzas actions is growing more
strained daily. II is believed that the
conference today between Under Sec
rotary Polk and the representatives of
the American oil interests is but one
wide step toward the thing that is
demanded throughout the west and
southwest, intervention in Mexico-in-
tervention which will in fact be occu-
patton until conditions in Mexico have
adjusted themselves to the satisfac-
ton of all.

THE fling of this suit is the re-

Removes All Doubt.

Ratification Of the peace treaty by
the German national assembly re-
moves all doubt of the acceptance of
the terms by Germany.
The national assembly by ratifying
the treaty makes it possible for the
allied and associated powers to raise
the blockade. Official notification
was sent Germany June 20 that the
blockade would be raised when the
treaty was ratified. Placing this con-
dition on the raising Of the blockade
was looked upon in peace conference
circles as a sure plan for securing
speedy ratification by Germany.
The council of five Monday decided
to lift the commercial censorship on
communications with Germany stimuli
taneously with the removal of the block
ade.
The peace treaty does not become
effective for all the signatory powers
until three of the great allied powers
ir addition to Germany have ratified it.

til the completion Of ratification, as
provided for at the end of the treaty
with Germany, but that it is to be
raised Immediately upon receipt of in
formation that the treaty of peace
has been ratified by Germany"

the signing of the resolution by Presi-
dent Ebert.
