(United Press)
Washington, March 22—The state department today announced it had served notice on Mexico terminating the anti-amagglutinant trenant between the two countries. The notice was given in Mexico City last night.
Officials here today refused to say whether this action is a fore-runner to possible lifting of the American embargos on arms shipment to Mexico
No. 438
Embargo May Be Lifted
Three weeks ago the United Press reported exclusively that the state department was seriously considering renouncing the amwugging treaty. At that time, it was pointed out that any possible action by this government lifts the embargo on shipments to Mexico could not be made effective so long as the anti-amwugging treaty remains in force.
The treaty, signed Dec. 23, 1925,
became effective March 28, 1926,
remaining in force for one year and
within notice of termination
was given.
Under the smuggled treaty it would be necessary for this government to ensure that an investment in private arms shipments legally excluded from Mexico, thus permitting Mexican Federal border authorities to seize arms destined for the United States.
Tellez Sends Communication
The state department announced intimated its action was taken because Mexico had refused to negotiate a commercial treaty.
Tellez Sends Communication
Although Mexican Ambassador
Tellez has not called at the state
department since his hurried return
he has sent a communication to Secretary Kellye
l Saturday.
A dispute may now arise between the two governments over the date of termination of the smuggling treaty. The state department claims that Mexico may insist it remains effective until April 20. The confusion arises out of the treaty provision that the treaty become effective 10 days after publication. It was officially published States and on April 18 by Mexico.
FOUR PAGES
President Coolidge and Secretary Coolidge have received a petition signed by citizens from 41 states opposing lifting of the arms embargo and appealing for arbitration. Among those 360 states, President Mike, President George Frank, University of Wisconsin, and William Allen White, Emporia, Kan.

Candidates Will Be Choser by Women in Fraser Mass Meeting March 28
The date for election to the W. S. G. A. is set for Thursday, March 31. Polls will be located in Dyche museum. On the Monday preceding the election, a mass meeting for women will be held in Fraser hall for the purpose of nominating candidates.

A. and will be presented to the women of the University for ratification at the mass meeting. A copy of the amendment and election rules is being sent to each organized house, to explain more fully the process. An account of this amendment with all its classes will also be published in the Kansan.
This system of mass meeting was used for the first time last year after political parties were discured in women's elections. Mudge Wardell president of the W. S, G. A., will preside at the mass meeting.
Wardeli to Preside
Miss Wardell wishes to stress the point of eligibility of candidates, so that there may be no confusion as to who may or may not be permitted to run. Any woman in the University System is eligible for a scholastic average of "C" is eligible to be nominated for candidacy on the W. S. G. A. On the Tuesday and Wednesday following the meeting there will be election teas at which the voters are invited to come to meet the nominees.
Class Elections Included
That class officers should be elected this spring along with the student council elections, was decided jointly by the men's and women's councils. The men will elect the president and vice-president, while the president and secretary. W. S. G. A. has voted to give the two women class officers places on the council, the officers thus automatically become members of their various classes on the council.
It is urgent that the women on the Hill take an interest in the elections, and while electioning is not permitted, it is hoped that the election will be handled better, and invested in introducing the candidates to the votes, according to Miss Warrill.
Rapid-Fire Guns Adopted
Maneuvers Indicate Next War One of Machines
(United Press)
London, March 22—Conclusion drawn by military experts based on the most advanced practice in British warfare. The need of the 1926 indicates that the next war is likely to be almost entirely a matter of machine-guns, aircraft, airfury and tanks. The role of the infantry is now being taken over by the machine-gunner.
The carmen of the University of Syracuse are being put through regular drills by Coach Chim Ten Eyck, although the ice has not yet broken enough for them to leave the Seneca river.
The present trend of the French and German armies to have one machine-gun company to every three hundred machines, a proportion of machine guns to rifle than was used in the World War—is expected during 1927 to continue to progress in favor of the machine-gun company within the next ten years the proportional figures will be reversed, and that 1937 will see three companies of machine-gunners to every company of industry in an efficiently organized force.
Increasing reliance on the machine-gun both as a weapon of offense and defense, is due to marked improvements that have been made since the war, both in increasing the reliability of the machine-gun, and decreasing its weight. For readily mobile forces, the Browning machine gun's bullet often entirely replace both the Lewis and the Hotchkiss machine-gun.

The young artist in giving an account of himself says: "I presume I got out of singing all the fun that some boys get out of athletics. I don't mean by that I wasn't active in sports, but I never did get as much pleasure out of anything else as I did as of my singing."
He is appearing in Kansas City to day on one of the Fritchy courses.

Chinese Nationalistic Victories Are Forcing Recognition by U. S.
United Breast
If Military Success Continues Such Action Is Necessary, Sav Diploms
Washington, March 22—Americans in Shanghai are so far unmotivated, according to a message from Admiral C. F. Williams, Asiatic fleet commander, sent the navy department today.
(United Pros)
Washington, March 22 —Victory of the radical nationalistic Chinese army in the Shanghai area is forcing officials here to consider the possibility of extending the United States recognition to the nationalists.
President Coulade is described as deserving of recognizing any government which gains support of a majority of the Chinese people and which recognizes such institutions and protect foreigners. So many of the nationalistic lenders have been friendly to the idea that the soviet government will not prevent United States recognition providing other conditions are fulfilled, it is
American diplomats say that recognition will be delayed in long as possible, but will be almost inevitable if the nationalistic military successes continue, according to unusually well-informed persons here.
One of these major conditions is that the nationalists negotiate orderly revision of the so-called unequal treaty instead of discouncing them arbitrily.
No overtures for American recognition have been made by the nationalists, according to officials here. Some have said unwilling to receive recognition as the governments of southern and central China prefer to wait until they can enforce foreign recognition of their regime as the government of all
This attitude is said to fit the American policy which opposes any step in the direction of a division of China.
