 MEXICAN ARMY
Refuse Carranza Permission to Move Troops Through
 American Territory.

Washington, May 23.---Presidcnt Carranza has been notified by the American government that permission for the passage of Mexican troops through American territory would be withheld for the present. Mexico hao asked to be permitted to move 2Oos men from Agua Prieta to J1Iarez for operation against Francisco Villas forces.
 It was said today officially that the decision of the government was based on the belief that the force which 1t was proposed to move through Ari- zona, New Mexico and Texas would not be able to furnish protection to American citizens in northern Mexico because the revolutionists had cut the road between Juarez and Chihuahua.
 It was made clear at the state de- partment, however, that if President Carranza could show that there was greater necessity for the presence of the force of 1000 men immediately south of the border at Juarez than at Agua Prieta in the territory where the Yuqui Indians are becoming trou- blesome, the position of the United States government might be altered.

The enemy character of persons rests solely upon their residence, it will be seen that with the change of residence into non-enemy territory they lose their enemy character. The attorney general has adopted a lib eral interpretation of the act, which permits such persons when they lose their enemy character to be treated a S if they had always been non-enemy persons and to have their property re- turned upon a proper showing of loy- alty."
 American citizens who lost their property in Germany will be allowed, in the opinion of the attorney gener- al, to present claims to this govern ment which will see that they arc reimbursed from German holdings here. He said that would be much better than turning property back to Germans for he foresaw that the Germans would not be welcome as business men upon American soil within the next decade at least.
