Show CARRANZA CHARGED WITH JOR FAITH -ATEST NOTE TO MEXICAN PRESI-DENT PRESI-DENT CONTAINS WARNING, BUT NOT ULTIMATUM. In Sharpest Language Yet Addressed to Carranza Government, Notice is Given that United States Expects Ex-pects Immediate Action. Washington. The government note to .Mexico made public Monday at the hour of its delivery in Mexico City, renews the request for the immediate release of William O. Jenkins, the American consular accent, imprisoned at l'uehla. and bluntly charges Carranza Car-ranza with attempting to becloud' the issue. In the sharpest language yet addressed ad-dressed lo the Carranza government, and probably more pointed than one government usually addresses to another an-other in a formal diplomatic communication, commu-nication, the United States says it regard's re-gard's Mexico's plea of judicial reasons rea-sons for not releasing Jenkins as "mere excuses." and gives notice that it will not be drawn away from the main facts and into a discussion of "irrevelant and unimportant matters." The attitude of the Carranza government govern-ment in the matter, the note says, has been to "assume a wilful indifference to the feelings of the American people peo-ple and the conclusion drawn by the government is that Mexico has sought to divert the attention of the American Ameri-can people and the Mexican people as well, from the fact that Puebla, second largest city in Mexico, is overrun over-run by bandits, while the civil authorities' authori-ties' are negligent." No ultimatum was served, and no time was given in which this government govern-ment expects Jenkins to be released, and neither was there any statement in the note as to what the course of the American government would be if the renewed request for his release is denied. |
