CARRANZA IGNORES
PART 0FU.S. NOTE
Commissioners Named to Re
solve Differences Referred to
in Previous Communication.
MAY BE UNSATISFACTORY
Washington, Aug. 4. General Car
ranza's reply to the last American
note accepting his suggestion for a
joint commission to adjust border dif
ferences, but proposing , a broader
scope for the commission's work, was
delivered to the State department to
day by Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexi
can ambassador designate. It an
nounces the appointment of three
Mexican commissioners with instruc
tions to"devote their attention pref
erably to the resolution of the points
mentioned in the previous note."
Thus, the de facto povernment ap
parently rejects the proposal that the
. commission consider other questions
than the military situation and limits
its discussions to the subpects origi
nally suggested by, Carraiuawith
drawal of American troops from Mex
ico; formulation of a protocol to cov
er iuture operations against bandits
and investigation of interests which
may promote raids..
Whether this will be satisfactory to
the United States government has not
been indicated. The note was in
Spanish and when he-went to todays
cabinet meeting Acting Secretary
Polk declined discuss it until an of
ficial translation could be made.
If it is accepted the next step will
be negotiations between Mr. Polk and
Mr Arredondo to fix the time and
place for meetings of the commission
ers President Wilson already has
, under consideration a score of names
suggested for the American member
ship. i Text of. Note.
The text of the note follows!
-Mr. Secretary: I have the honor
to transmit to your excellency the
following note, which I have just re
ceived from my government:
"'Mr. Secretary. In due reply to
the eourteous note of the Department
of state, dated July 28, 1916, I have
the honor to say to your excellency
that the first chief of the constitu
tionalist army in charge of the ex
ecutive power of the Mexican re
public congratulates himself upon
laudable efforts of the Amenian gov
ernment to arrive at a solutiok of dif
ficulties between the two countries,
and to that effect, considering it of
the greatest imDortance that a prompt
decision be reached of the points
which have caused the existing diffi
culties between the United States and
Mexico referred to in. the note of
the Mexican government, dated July
20 last, has seen fit to appoint at
once a commission of three persons,
constituted by Licenciate Luis " Ca
brera, Engineer Ignacio Bonillai and
Engineer Alberto J. Panl, to whom
instructions have been given to devote
their attention to the resolution of
the points mentioned in the previous
note of this department.
"Licenciate Eliseo Arredondo hii
, been authorized to treat with the De-
partment of State in thmatter of
details relating to the place and date
in which the commissioners of the
Mexican government should meet the
commissioners of the government of
the United States, in order to com
mence their labors. .
"I reiterate to your excellency the
assurance of my highest consider
ation. Signed, C. Aguilar, Secretary
of Foreign Relations."
"I avail myself of this new occasion
to renew to your excellency the as
surance of my highest consideration.
E. Arredando." ; .
Envoys Will Start Soon. 7
Mexico City, Aug. 4. The depart
ure from Mexico (City for the United
States of Luis Cabrera and Alberto
Pani, who, with Ygnacio Bonillas,
have been selected to reach a settle
ment with the United States commis
sioners of the questions at issue be
tween the' two countries, will not be
long delayed, according to belief
here.
It is possible- the commissioners
may travel north on vessels of the
Mexican navy, the Bravo or the
Zaragoza, which are now at Vera
Cruz, if it appears that their de
parture would be delayed by the in
frequent sailing of merchant vessels.

UNORGANIZED MEN
OBJECTS STRIKE
Six Thousand Rail Employes
File Petition With Congress
men Asking for Mediation.
UNIONS ONLY ONE -FIFTH
Nashville, Tcnn., Aug. 4. A move
ment looking to an anneal to con
gress for decisive action to prevent
a strike on the railroads of the coun
try has been inaugurated by employes
on the Nashville. Chattanooga k St.

6.000 representatives of the non-brotherhood
men has been signed in the

senting the brotherhoods should not

out of work and calls upon congress

Newlands Resolution Tabled.
Washington, Aug. 4 The senate
commerce committee today voted to
table Senator Newlands resolution to
direct the Interstate Commerce com
mission to investigate and report to
congress on wages and hours of serv
ice of each class of railroad empl t .es
because action was deemed inadvis
able pending mediation and arbitra
tion of disputes between the rail
roads and their employes.
J lie committee took up the resolu
tion on a written request from the
chamber of commerce of the I'nited
States, which asked for hearings.
"It was determined," said Chairman
Newlands, after the committee acted,
"to have, no hearings upon the sub
ject, but to lay the resolution upon
the table. The committee deemed it
inadvisable to add to the present du
ties oi tne interstate commerce com
mission, which, as is well known, is
overloaded with work."
Letter of Brotherhoods.
The committee had before it a let
ter from the brotherhoods as fol
lows:
"The railway managers and the rep
resentatives of the railroad organiza
tions will confer in New York early
in August and we believe the com
mittee on interstate commerce should
remain neutral, at least until jointly
called upon by the national conference
committee ot railway managers and
the representatives of the railway
brotherhoods, and we respectfully
suggest that course of action."

Red Cross to Send
Supplies to Germany
Washington, Aug. 3. Red Crosi
officials announced tonight that they
had taken steps looking to the ship
ment of hospital supplies to Germany
and its allies by re-establishment oi
Red Cross units in those countries,
the only method by which Great Brit,
aiu will permit passage of such ship,
ments through her blockade.
The Red Cross has asked Germany
and Austria, through the State de
partment, for permission to send one
or two hospital units of six doctor
and eight nurses into each of the ceni
tral empires. This permission, Red
Cross officials believe, will be granted
readily and then funds will be so
licited to finance the new units. " .
