were misinterpreted.
"It was also the Mexican government that earnestly suggested a plan
for cantonments along the boundary line during the conferences of Culdafl
Juarez amt K1 Paso. This government Is disposed now, as it has always
been, to seek an Immediate solution of the two points which constitute the
true cause of the conflict between the two oountries, to-wlt: The American
government thinks reasonably that in the Insecurity of Its frontier is ft
source ot difficulty and the Mexican government on Its part believes that
the stay of American troops on Mexican territory aside from being a tres-
pass on the sovereignity of Mexico is the immediate cause of the conflict*
Therefore, the withdrawal of American troops, on one hand end the protec-
tion of the frontier on the other, are the two ssssntial problems, the solution
of which must be the directing object of the efforts of both countries.

The Austrians admit a serlouu defeat

stopping the Russian advance on Kovel
and in counter attacks made in solid
ranks were enormous.
The booty captured readied incal-
culable figures. It is said that 250
guns of various sizes and upwards of
700 machine guns is a conservative
estimate. In addition vast quantities
of munitions, supplies and transports
have fallen into the hands of the Rus-
sians.

appears to have been dissipated by an
amicable note from General Carranza,
presented by liis designate here, Elis-
eo Arredondo.
Proposals In Note.
The note proposes that the differ-
ences between the governments be
j settled by mediation or by direct ne-
gotiations. It is remarkable for its
brevity, its restrained and friendly
lone and for the absolute lack of any
strong, even insolent language wr.ich
characterized previous communica-
l tions from the de facto government.
It treats as a closed incident the ex-
: change of unfriendly communications
i which brought war almost within
sight.
Wilson To Determine Course.
| No formal comment on the note was
obtainable from the state department
officials. A copy was forwarded to the
White House immediately on its re-
ceipt and President Wilson will de-
termine on the course to be pursued.
The fact that Secretary Lansing com-
pleted preparations for a month’s va-
cation is regarded as significant, how-
ever. of a feeling on his part that the
crisis is over.
As a matter of general principle the
Washington government always has
favored mediation of any dispute suit-
able for such procedure. There is
every indication, however, that in the
present instance it will be deemed de-
sirable to conduct the forthcoming
negotiations directly with the Carranza
government.
Mediation Unnecessary.
Members of the Latin-American dip-
lomatic corps Imre are expected to
make inquiry soon as to the attitude
of the Washington government in view
of the statement of the Mexican for-
oamp at about 1400. Four hundred ad-
ditional recruits are needed to bring
the guard up to war strength.
The adjutant, general’s department
has made arrangements to furnish
transportation to recruits in any part
of the state. It will not be necessary
for them to report hdre.
Army Command Divided.
The war department measures for a
new distribution of the border patrol
clearly indicate that months of active
service along the frontier await the
thousands of national guardsmen gath-
ering in the south from all parts of the
country. Only the appointment of a
general officer to supreme command
is lacking now to complete adequato
administrative machinery, -
Under the new plan the 1,800-mile
frontier will be divided so that the
southern and western military depart- i
ments will take care of the eastern and
western extremities of the line respec-
tively. Major General Frederick Fun
ston, relieved from responsibility foi
the entire border at his own recom-
mendation, will continue in command
of the southern department, while Ma-
jor General J. F. Bell, commanding
the western department, will transfer
his headquarters from San Francisco
to Douglas, Ariz., to be in direct touch
with his share of the border work.
the lower bay for nearly two weeks to
greet the Deutschland and convoy her
into port.
Waits In Lower Harbor.
Four hours later the big submarine
started up the bay under her own pow-
er, with the German merchant flag
flying and convoyed by the Timmons.
She was making more than twelve
knets an hour.
According to the accounts reaching
here, the underwater liner’s sutler
structure was standing fifteen feet
above water when she came in. Until
daylight she showed no flag but the
German merchant ensign was raised
at sunup.
Cargo to New Concern.
The boat is consigned to A. Schu-
macher & Company, local agents of
t . ■ North German Lloyd line and her
cargo to the Eastern Forwarding Cmn-
pa-iy, a concern organized within the
past fev. weeeks especially to handle
tlie business of underwater liners. The
latter company has a pier and vare-
lic.u-'e in which are stored the goods
to be loaded on the Deutschland for
her return trip.
In German quarters here the news
of the submarine’s arrival was billed
with keenest delight. Those who knew
of her coming had been concealing
a'arm for two or three days as she
was due to arrive about the middle of
last week. It is understood that she
traveled more than 3,800 miles.
The Deutschland is no converted
war craft, but a brand new commerce
carrier, owned in Bremen and sent
here on a purely commercial mission,
according to Henry G. Hiliken, the
senior member of the Schumacher con-
cern. She belongs to the Ocean Navi-
gation Company, limited, and was

If present plans are carried out, the

The Deutchland is the first vessel
under the German merchant flag to
enter an American port since the
early days of the war, when Teutonic
craft raced in to save themselves from
British warships. While the forward-
ing company officers are reticent, there
are strong intimations that she will
not be the last. According to reports,
