Germany Denies Stirring
Up Muddle in Mexico
BERLIN, March 22. A high
German official today denied the
rumor that Germnn intrigues
were responsible for the troubles
of the United States in Mexico.
"Thnt report is quite untrue,"
the official said. "Germany recog
nized Carranza because it was nec
essary to have somo one in Mexico
to deal with. Your Government,
nnd I think England, recognized
him, so wo hnd nothing against
such action.
"We recognized General Car
ranza, hoping that peace and or
der would bo ro-cstnblished in
Mexico, We would have preferred
doing so long ago, but followed
America's steps. We hnvo no in
terest in causing trouble in Mex
ico, but because America in chiefly
interested there, wo left matters of
policy to Washington.
"Germany's policy in Mexico is
tho same ns in other countries
pence nnd order ns soon as possible."

Too much or 4too little and the com

Tho amo with Ukm too much toughnew in

much resiliency, and toughness is destroyed.
Or if thero Is not absolute 'balance' between

Finally, thero must bo an exact 'balance' of
