FL PAsO, Nov. 27.-The text OF
the note follows;
Mexico City. Nov. 20. 1919.
Mr.. George L. Summerlin, acting
charge d'affaires for the United
states OF America:
I am instructed by the president
of the republic to answer herewith
your note OF Nov. 20, which you ad-
dressed to the Mexican government
on instructions from the state de-
partment Of the United States
You viii no doubt realize the fact
that no legal foundation. principle
or precedent Of international right.
or even Of reason is invoked in the
demand for the immediate liberia
tion OF Mr. Jenkins. who, as you
know. is at present under the juris-
diction of a judge Of the city of
Puebla
The Mexican government cannot
see what the foundation for such a
demand might be. It believes that
II can be only the power Of the
country that makes IT, although the
United States has expressed the de-
sire on various occasions that right
and justice should be the basis OF
its diplomacy. and respect for weak
countries the basis OF its interna-
tioual relations on the continent.
Poor Understanding.
The terms OF a note which I am
answering are attributed by my
government to an imperfect under
standing OF our penal laws The

Consul General at EI PaSo De-
IiverS Note Which Is
Kept Secret.
CARRANZA UPHOLDS STAND
Says Government Cannot Re-
lease Prisoner While Case
Is Being Tried.


WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.-Mexico
has replied with an argumentive dip
lomatic refusal TO the American gov
ernments demand for the immedi-
ate release OF William o. jenkins,
consular agent imprisoned at Puebla.
The official note was delivered
here Thursday but not made public.
There is no reason TO doubt that it
agrees with the copy given out We'd
nesday night by the Mexican consul
general at FL Paso.
No comment was forthcoming to
indicate how the state department
regards the answer TO what was con-
siderSd one OF the sharpest warnings
yet sent to Mexico and neither was
there any indication OF what the
governments next step would be.
Prepared by Carranza.
The Mexican reply, which accord
ing TO it's text, was prepared at the
direction OF Pres't Carranza, argues
in the main that the Mexican gov
ernment cannot order the release OF
n prisoner while his case is under
adjudication in the civil courts of
one OF its states and contends that
the American governments demand
for the consular agents release had
no foundation or precedent in inter
national law.

Alrman's Record Glide.

What is believed to be a worlds
record for gliding with dead motor
was accomplished at Ithaca, N. Y, in
Thomas-Morse tw0-seater biplane,
SAYS the Scientific American. This
machine flew to the head of Cayuga
lake, a distance of thirty-f1ve miles,
and having attained height of 1850
feet, the pilot switched off his motor
and glided to Ithaca, at which point
he still had 5000 feet altitude. If his
glide had been continued it is esti-
mated that an additional fifteen miles
could have been covered, making to-
tai of fifty miles without the use of his
motor. The longest glide previously
recorded was that of Capt. Raynham,
according to Aeronautics, when he
gIided from Brooklands to Hendon, in
England, a distance of twenty-five
miles.

Camp Humphreys, in Virginia, not
far from Washington, is one OF the
many deserted villages which the end
of the war has left scattered all over
the country.
The camp is located on a great tract
Of wild virginia woodland, fronting
IN the Potomac river with high for
ested bluffs. It is only few miles
from Mt. Vernon, and is still nearer
the village of Lorton, which is the
center of a section occupied by the
estates of wealthy country dwellers.

WON BY SHAMMING INSANITY
How Two British Officers Fooled Their
Turkish captors by Period OF
Feigned Madness.

Are they really lunatics or brilliant
actors?
Sceptical Turks and British asked
the question as they looked at the
weird, CHASTITY figures of Lieutenant
Jones and Lieutenant Hill in the
prisoners ward of a Turkish hospital
In the early days of the war
Here is picture of Lieutenant Hill,
as described by another British Off
GER:
"a tousled scarecrow of man. His
long, untrimmed hair hung over his
unWashed neck, his cheeks were sunk
en-, his hands were clasped over the
bed-clOtheS that covered his shinS He
never looked at US, but with an express
sion Of the most answering austerity
continued to read a book that lay
open on his knees. AS l passed / saw,
from the ruling and paragraphing OF
the pages, that 1t must be copy of
the Bible"
Jones was in a bed opposite. His
face was unusually white. The young
forehead was divided and subdivided
by deep wrinkles; golden beard
! tufted from the chin; the head was
covered by too large fez, made of
white linen.
HE grinned and waved an arm
toward the Turkish orderly. 4 am not

am good Turk. The English are my
enemies. wrote to his excellency En-.
yer Pasha, telling him l wished to be.
come Turkish officer"
The reputation of these two officers
as lunatics had spread through every
prisOn-camp in Turkey, says the writer
who tells the story in "BlackwOod's
Magazine" But they were not mad
They were feigning madness the whole
time in order to recover their free
dom And they won through.
AS soon as the British vessel on
which they were shipped had left
Turkish waters they miraculously re
covered
1t was one of the most amazing
cases of malingering on record. The
marvel is that Hills mind did not give
way under the ordeal For twelve
hours a day he sat up in bed reading
and re-reading the Bible. He showed
no signs of interest in anything; pray
ed aloud for nearly half an hour morn
ing and evening in the presence O.
a dozen people, and never smiled
task which required almost inhumaI
concentration. Jones, on the Othe
hand, acted farce instead of tragedy
and both men completely duped tn

Farming by Machinery in Australia.


AS yet agriculture in Australia has
not reached American standards IN
many districts. The advance in wages,
However, is showing the necessity Of
resOrting more freely to machinery.
If Is stated that more than $50 motor
tractors have been sold to farmers in
the eastern part Of the Riverina, fer
tile district on the southern border OF
New South Wales. Apart from the
aspect of labor, buyers declare that
there is a real economy in the use of
the tractors. A single machine will
do the work of ten horses, and, more
over will do it we'll when the ground
is so hard that horse teams would be
able to dc little more than scratch it.

the countryside lay under pail OF
yellow dust thrown up by the great
motor trucks, and by the vehicles OF
visitors.
Now this is all over. Camp Hum

deserted yellow shanties, and just a
few occupied ones. A couple OF en-
