DENIES TREATY TALE
Alleged Pact Between Nations
Termed as False.
Department Officials Believe Text Was
Prepared During War Tor Pro-
paoanda Purposes.

Washington Publication In Mexico
City of what purported to be the text
Of treaty between the United States.
1917, and dealing with certain rights
claimed by those countries in Mexico,
brought prompt official denial from
the State department OF the existence
Of any such pact
Officials at the department were IN
clined to believe the published text
was that Of a false treaty prepared
during the war by Germany for prcpa-
ganda purposes in Mexico There had
been, they said. previous indications
Of the circulation OF this false docu-
ment.
The statement that one clause of
the alleged treaty provided for GER
tain measures to meet possible jap
anese hostility was noted particular
ly, and characterized at the depart
ment as being as foolish az It was
false
On the other main subject dealt
with in the spurious pact, continue
ton of the flow of oil from Mexican
wells owned by nationals OF the three
powers. 1t was regarded as conceivable
that some sort of informal understand
ing might have been reached by the
three governments, necessitated by the
exlgencies OF war. II was said Of.
hciaily, however. that nothing of the
Kind had been reduced to writing.
1t was recalled in this connection
that Mexican fuel oil was essential
to British naval operations during the
war.
The suggestion that a written agree
ment existed was made last month in
the Mexico City press, statement To
that effect being attributed to Hilario
Medina. acting minister of foreign A.
fairs in the Carranza cabinet. It was
promptly denied by Cuthberto Hidalro
holding similar post under the pre-
sent provisional government in Mexico.
and who declared Medina had brought
about publication Of a statement he
knew to be false for the purpose OF
embarrassing friendly relations be-
tween the provisional government and
the United States.

TEN THOUSAND
LISTEN, TO COX
Democratic Candidate Has Rousina
Meeting in Utah Where He Talks
About $4,000, 900 Campaign
Fund.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
LOGAN, Utah, Sept. 15.-Ten thou
sand men, women and children OF
Logan and Cache county turned out
enmasse this morning to extend up
roarous greeting to Governor James
M. Cox, democratic candidate for
president, enroute through Utah on
his speech making tour of the west.
He was borne with difficulty through
the crowd to the big platform erected
ON Tabernacle = square. Here. addl-
tional thousands had gathered when
the news spread that he had consent
ed to make an outdoor speech because
Of the limited capacity of the taber-
nacle proper.
The candidates appearance was
greeted by prolonged cheering. 1t
was declared one of the most enthus'
iastic receptions ever rendered a Pc
litical candidate in Logan.
Governor Cox was emphatic in his
charges that big business was oppos
ing him because of his progressive
peoples policy during his six years as
governor of Ohio. ~ ...
1.-The mercenary interests opposing
me are spending $15,00O,00O in trying
to defeat me- declared Cox. But il
does not make any difference where
you go the hearts, Of the, nation are
aroused to duty. and to service. The
American people have been asked tc
decide whether the new order d
things or the old order are to pre-
vail. The old order means the con
tfnuance of wars and all the reac
tionary methods of days gone by.
This question eofothe5 old or anev

to retrace our steps and return to thu
old methods and old governmental
policies. This new order Of thing
