Alleged Treaty With Europe Laheled as German War Propaganda. WASHINGTON. Nov. IS Publication in Mexico City Thursday of what purported to be the text of a treaty between the United States. Great Britain and France, signed in 1917, and dealing with certain rights claimed by those countries in Mexico, brought prompt official deniel from the state department of the exisiance of any such pact. Officials at the department were inclined to believe the published text was that of a false treaty prepared during the war by Germany for propaganda purposes In Mexico. There had been, they said, previous Indications of the circulation of this false document. The statement that one clause of the alleged treaty provided for certain measures to meet possible Japanese hostility was noted particularly and characterized at the 'department a.s being as foolish as it was- false. Nothing in Writing. On the other main subject dealt with in the spurious pact, continuation of the Mow of oil from Mexican wells owned by nationals of the three power?, it was regarded as conceivable that s-ome sort of informal understanding might have been reached by the three governments, necessitated by the exigencies of war. It was said officially, however, that nothing of the kind had been reduced to writing. It was recalled in this connection that Mexican fuel oil was essential to llritish naval operations during the war. The suggestion that a written a'oN itxiTII u.

NON-EUROPEAN NATIONS TAKE FOUR OFFICES Tivo of Six Vice-Presidencies in League of Nations Go to Europe. GHNCVA, Nov. 18. (By the Associated Press.) Great Britain and Spain will send military contingents to Vilna to maintain order during the "poular confutation of the inhabitants." This announcement was made Thursday evening by the assembly of the League of Nation. It was - added that tho French and Belgian governments already had agreed to dispatch contingents thither. GENEVA, Nov. 18. In a somewhat agitated session Thursday tho League of Nations assembly completed its organization by the election cf six vice presidents. who, with the six chairmen of the committee selected yesterday, form a sort of executive committee of the assembly. The non-European nation?, for whom much solicitude was shown yesterday, had no complaint to inukeT as they obtained four vice presidents instead of tho three they asked for. L'Uvt Brazilian. Tlwse were ' Viscount Ishii, Japai; Honorio Pueyrredon, Argentina; Sir George 'F. Foster, Canada, and Bodrigiiez Octovlo, Brazil. The other vice presidents afe II. Van Karnabeek, Holland, and Dr. Eduard Benes, Czechoslovakia. Picturesque features of the session were furnished by Baron ilayashl, head of the Japanese delegation, Dr. Fridtjof Nanzen of Norway, Gustave Ador, ex-president of Switzerland, and the two leading members of the Brazilian delegation. Baron Hayahl, usually an Impassive observer of the proceedings, attracted attention when he rose ' to ask the deleegates to vote for Viscount Ishii. Japanese ambassador to France, if Japan was to have a vice l". resident. The whole assembly lookad on with great interest when, after M. Ador, who Ls also an ex-president of the International Bed Cross, had graciously replied to the remarks of Dr. Nanzen regarding the Bed Cross, the explorer rushed down a side aisle with characteristic steeltrap action to grasp M. Ador's hand in a handshake so Warm and real that the sentiment wa-s communicated to the spectators. Brazilians Tic. A curious result of the first ballot tor vice presidents was a tie between Bodriguez ctavio, the Brazilian under secretary for foreign affairs, and Dr. Gastoa da Cunha, the Brazilian ambassador to France, for sixth vice president. While the assembly was discussing the proposed vote for the remaining vice president, an animated disvussion proceeded at the Brazilian bench, each candidate insisting that he be allowed to withdraw in favor of the other. A second ballot ,w'as taken. hoAvever. As an act of courtesy. Giuseppi Motta, president of the .Swiss confed .'ration, who had delivered the address of welcome, was elected honorary president of the tirst assembly of the league. Humors which had been current all week that certain combinations had been formed to carry prearranged programs through the assembly were denied today from two sourced. M. Pueyrredon, for tho Argentine delegation, said that it was absolutely untrue so far as Argentina is concerned, that the South American republics were in. an understanding with other neutrals to force the admission of Germany into the league. The British dominions' representatives made it clear that they were here to 'represent their particular domlnlan without reference to sister dominions or mother country. All the delegates appear to be atisheed with the progress made in the necessary preliminary proceedings the work having been gone through with a minimum of friction and they expect the final results to satisfv all the friends of the league.
