(Correspondence of the Associated Press) The German residents in Mexico City are not pleased at the arrival here of Germans from the United States and the refugees are still less pleased with the reception accorded them by their countrymen, according to stories told by some of the men who fled from the United States at the declaration of war. But few jobs were available for them and they declare they were given a most uncordial reception by German business men to whom they applied for wcrk. The support of the jobles, it is said, has fallen on the German merchants who have been assessed for this purpose as well as for propaganda instituted by the union of subjects of the German Empire.

The Germans without jobs are given two meals a day at a second rate hotel and assert they have small relish for the fare.

American Jackies in Irisk Sea Get, Best of Eatables BASE OF AMERICAN FLOTILLA IN BRITISH WATERS, June 25. Jackies on the American patrol flotilla are getting the best of care and fare, as one result of the adequate equipment of the flotilla's mother ship and the efficiency of the men who man .it. "It is really marvelous what you Americans can do," remarked a British officer. The ship not only keeps, the fleet in trim, but bakes the bread and performs innumerable other services for the men. The mother ship is the only place in the British Isles where bread other than "war bread" is made. A baker, formerly with two of the biggest hotels' at a famous Atlantic coast resort, turns out daily several hundred loaves of the finest white bread. The meals for the jackies on board are cooked by a chef from one of New York's popular, Broadway hotels. In fact, life is so pleasant aboard this beehive of industry that five members of her crew have not set foot ashore since her arrival, preferring the ship's accommodations.
