For ^ pinning MEXICO AGAIN About a fortnight ago there ap peared, on the tes'imony of the news, good reason to t-elteve that Mexico would aoon line up w ith pra' tirally all the American-continent power* and Join forces with the enemies of Ger many. There is no accountins for any policy adopted by the Mexicans. At the same time, it was reasonable to anticipate that they would either keep out of the war or adjust themselves to the action preferred by nelithbors on all sides of them. But another out look ia presented in yesterday's con tribution from the Post's W^iahlnpton bureau. Rather surprising it is to hear that, In fact, the Mexicans are covertly ! operating with Berlin ami that they are disposed to be aggressively against the entente side. That means, of course, that Germany Is still eonniv lug to get the Mexicans in open fight ! with the United States The threat j is. perhaps, not alarming, but the news ! of yesterda) from Washington is at | Berlin news, it is j least suggestive.

The gratifying fact in connection! vith this charity is that it was well] ■ three ted ami admirah] : , lmt j9 everyw her id mi stored j ! ; dmitted. The money and the supplies which were the American contribution were pru dently handled; they reached the beneficiaries, and the distribution was wisely made. That work was directed by Herbert C. Hoover, and there is countrywide recognition of the admir able service he has rendered. Jus Mr. Ib is the cei figure in another kind of servie {a of the utmost importance to th people of the United States. In thl rail j c p i instance, as in the Belgian mission, he serves without thought of compensa tion and in surrender of professional and business activities which involve him in large personal sacrifice. Mr. Hoover is the recognized leader) of the people of the United States in efforts that contemplate comfort and saving and direct benefit for all. He } reaches prudence and, if his country* men will listen to him. they can get benefits, without exacting self-denial, which, measured in money, mean hundreds of millions every few months a mi which, by less sordid tests, signify an inestimably large contribution of help for untry in its opera on s la s in it! he part of the war pi grosses the country's he delay the members dealings with oblem that en mention.

Barrier," Still Plotting to Involve This Country in War With Its Neighbor. To the Kditor of the Post. Washington, l> U.. July 17.—German agents are again busy trying to incite Mexicans to attack the United States, and the Mexican situation is once more demanding the attention of the authorities here. German propagan dists. it is asserted, have continued ark in Mi y e\t Mexico since the United States entered the war and have succeeded in t reat ing a situation that may. in the esti mation of agents of the United States, give this country much trouble unless it is promptly dealt with. Ambassa dor Fletcher Is here now to furnish the government with all the informa tion in his possession. The government authorities have in formation in their possession to the effect that before the United States declared war o:i German) a large number of subjects of the German em pi Unite had ente State red Me under from th* instructions to be read> to onrr> out the German plan to foment a movement in Mexico which It was hoped would result In persuading that eountrj to attack tho United States. Since the United States entered the war these Gorman propagandists have been doing every thing possible, so it is asserted, t « » array the « 'nrran/a government against the entente allies, including the United States. If the information in possession « »f the authorities here is to lie relied on. this government must look to Mexican territory for an organization whose business it is to keep the German for eign office Informed as to all the war developments in the United States. It is not understood that the stat«- de partment is in possession « »f any defi nite information along this line, but Americans who have recently arrived here from Mexico are positive that there is a line of communication ex tending through Mexico and that the so-called German intelligence depart ment on this side of the Atlantic is now being directed from Mexican ter i itory. It is assumed that if there is a line of communication through Mexico there must l»e a wireless station some where in Mexico; otherwise it would not be possible to get direct communi cati««n with Berlin and. even with such a station, it is pointed out, communi cation would not be possible unless there is co-operation in Spain or some other neutral country. But tlie spy revelations are only one Part «.f the story. According to tho information brought to the government authorities, the Carranza government is doing everything possible to embar rass tho British and the American con cerns that hav e concessions in Mexico. Recently assessments that amount to confiscation have been levied against the American copper companies, and th«- taxes against the British oil Com panys which It I e just become effect ive are out of all reason and. it is as serted. are plainly levied with the view to confisr iting these properties. Thp American Petroleum company, whieh pun lies a large part of the oil con sunn •! by tlie British navy, is hard hit by this new tax and has entered a pro ie and the British government has called the at "f the United States to the sit uation. li is asserted that tin* Carranza gov ernment at this time Is thoroughly dominated by pro-German sentiment in .Mexico and that tills is due largely I to the work of the German propagan l'il» 1 - un.- American who has lived In j xico f " r «tony years and who is the I owner of large properties there said on ills arrival here a day or so ago that lie was surprised that the United Stales government had not before this taken some official notice of what is going on in Mexico. "I supposed it was generally known," said he. ''that Mexico is practically in the hands of German sympathizers. I miuestionably much plotting against the 1 nited States is going on across tne border. Knowing the situation as , r V™ convhired that, but for fa '-t that the Other Central Amer ican and South American governments I M«U*«1 With the I'nited States in this 'v.ii. M' \ico would have come out in it "isT" in favo '' of Germany. As is. e\erj thing that can possibly bo lone to embarrass the United States IS being done on Mexican soil, n seems to me it is a situation which this gov eminent cannot ignore."
