' Mexico City.--The Mexican reply to the American "mystery note" of February 28, la said here to have failed to meet the expectations of the Washington government and a request for a more definite answer Is expected. Thus the relations between the two countries are In the same status they occupied following the exchanges of the five notes over the oil and'land laws written In 1826. While the Impression conveyed In the last week by government officials tends to minimize the Importance of the American note and both officials and newspapers appear optimistic over the prospects of an early solution of the Mexican-American controversy, well-informed quarters Indicate that Justification of this optimism will depend on Mexico's next move and a more satisfactory answer to Washington. On the other hand the return to Mexico City of H. F. Arthur Schoenfeld, counsellor of the American embassy, with his family, Is seen In official circles here as an Indication that less apprehension Is felt in Washington over toie possibility of a severance of diplomatic relations. This opinion Is strengthened by the forthcoming arrival of Allan Winslow, recently appointed first secretary of the embassy, who Is due here with his family soon, while Mr. Schoenfeld jjs expected on March 24. Those who insist that Mexican-American relations are still strained base their arguments chiefly on the numerous conferences between President Calles and Manuel Tellez, Mexican ambassador to the United States, presumably on a proposal to convene an extra session of congress to amend the constitutional provisions relative to oil and land holdings by foreigners. Oil men here, however, profess to be unaware of any change in the situation. Washington; -- Charge* that " the Mexican government, through its ambassador here and its consul general In New York, had spent nearly $2,000,- 000 in an effort to discredit President Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg, and that anti-American literature could be had for the asking at the New York consulate, are made by Representative Gallivan (Dem., Mass.) In a recent Issue of the Congressional Record. The charges, which served to recall reports, later denied, that Mexican circulated propaganda against the United States was the subject of the secret correspondence recently exchanged between the two governments were enumerated in a long statement which contained quotations from what the representative termed a "printed Insult" Auction of Cows, Horses and Brood Sows I will have an Auction iatue of 40 Cows, 10 Head of Horses, 25 Brood Sows and a quantity of Farm Implements, Grain, etc., at mj baqa mWoodatock ©a Washington street, Route 19, on Saturday, March 26th Beginning at 12:30 o'clock This will be an opportunity to get your farm needs.

The cars were about equally divided between Advanced Six, Special Six models. The shipments left the Kenosha and Milwaukee plants over the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad and left the Racine plant over the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul Railroad. The cars will arrive on the Pacific coast in about ten days. As the long trains laden with approximately three quarters of a million dollars worth of automobiles, steamed out of the yards at the various Nash factories for their long trip to California, they presented a graphic picture of industrial activity. Included in the large shipment were many of the new enclosed models, introduced in the automobile show period in New York and Chicago. These models have forward-sweeping French type'roofs and, like all ears in the Nash line, are equipped with 7-bearing crankshaft motors. G. A. Stilling handles the Nash line m McHenry.
