FORMAL NOTE DELIVERED fur Settle- Xreference Indicated tuent of Pershing's Withdrawal, Border Protocol and Re sponsibility for Raids. WASHINGTON. Aug. 4. Indication tonight were that President Wilson would appoint three commissioners within a few days to meet a similar delegation already selected by General Carranza to undertake settlement of the International difficulties arising from disturbed conditions along the Mexican border. In a note delivered to the State Department today. General Carranza named his commissioners, but did not answer specifically the suggestion of the Washington Government for en largement of the powers of the com mission. It is believed, however, that the reply is generally satisfactory to the Administration, and that negotia tions will proceed without delay. Act ing Secretary Polk would not discuss the communication today, saying he had not had time to study it. Preference Given Three Points. General Carranza said in his note that the Mexican commissioners "pre ferably" would discuss the three points outlined in the Mexican communication of July 11, which are withdrawal of American troops from Mexico, the framing of a protocol to cover future border operations, and an investigation of what interests have promoted border raids. State Department officials are understood to regard this as at least leaving the way open for broader con siderations such as they desire, should the commission be successful in find ing a solution for Immediate problems. It is possible that in notifying the Mexican government of the appoint ment of the American commissioners and the time and place of the confer ence, Mr. Polk will take occasion to Indicate again that the United States expects the conferees to be free from the close limitations implied in the new Mexican note, but will avoid any detailed expression on that point. Wilaon's Choice Not Made. There was nothing to indicate to night that President Wilson had de cided on the men who will represent the- United States on the commission. It is regarded as probable that the American membership will be such as to conform in a general way to the Mexican delegation. There are no diplomatic or military representatives among the Mexican commissioners nor any lawyers. Luis Cabrera, who will head the Mexicans, is Minister of Fi nance: Ignaclo Donlllas is director of the Mexican Department of Communi cations, covering railroads, telegraph and postofflce, and an engineer by pro fession; Albert Pani, also an engineer. Major-General Goethals, who has been mentioned as a possible selection for the American commission, is an en gineer officer. The fact that he is a soldier, however, may prevent his selec tion, since no Mexican officers have been selected. Others mentioned in clude members of the Supreme Court and persons not in Government serv ice who are regarded as authorities on commerce and finance. It was expected tonight that Ambas sador Arredondo might begin tomor row a final conference with Mr. Polk regarding the time and place for the commission's meeting. 4 rt ,X:-Y.Y ' .--v -Y;' ' CJU H I ' , wrf .Y-- js-L 1 ill lit , . .

DAY OF DRILL IS DIVIDED Dismounted Cavalry Tactics Re hearsed and School for Non Coins Held Men Who Avoid Clothing Suffer Consequences. BY W. G. MACRAE. CAMP BALBOA, Aug. 4. (Special.) While the mounts were being shod, the drill of Troop A today was divided into two sections. More than half of the troop, in charge of Lieutenant Wackrow, put in the morning rehearsing dis mounted cavalry work. In the after noon, with Captain White acting as quiz master, the non-commissioned of ficers attended school. While school was being held. Trooper William M. Bradshaw was coaching his team of push-ball artists, who will play a team from Fort Rosecrans on the Plaza d'Panama at the Exposition Grounds tomorrow. The Fort Rose crants team will be captained by Her man Stroh. champion wrestler cf the Army and Navy. None of the Troop A men has ever played dismounted push ball, but all of them played the game on horses. The big ball, when in flated, will- weigh 75 pounds and be six and one-half feet in diameter. The Troop A team is composed of Sergeant Wright. Sergeant Penman. Corporal Cloyd, Corporal Adams and Troopers David. Gore. Wiley. McCulloch, Morgan and William Walter and the reserve1 will be Corporal Durant and Troopers Hicks. Marr, Keers, Franks, McGinnis and Bradshaw. Robert W. Relnton. Joseph A. Neisz and Caspar Frank received notice today that their employers at home were keeping them on their payroll. For several days the practice in camp has been to go about with as much of the upper part of the body exposed as possible. This was because the weather made it more comfortable to go about in scant costume. Now the men are suffering and Captain Houck is kept busy pouring soothing lotions on blis tered shoulders and arras. the Navy sought to make a base at Culebra. to the west of Porto Rico, but conditions did not justify the ex periment, which cost some $3,000,000. Porto Rico is not available, because it has no harbors. There is a splendid harbor on the western coast of Santo Domingo, but that island is indepen dent and could not be induced tj permit an Anerlcan naval station to be es tablished on its soil. A further objection t'3 Guantanamo lies in the fact it is close to the magni ficent British base at Kingston, Ja maica. There is not the slightest thought in the American naval mind that Great Briitaln will ever attack this country, but it is worthy of note that as a result of the possession of Guantanamo and St. Thomas, the Brit ish bae will be masked. Inquiries made of various Senators todas lnd.cate that the Danish treaty will be ratified. Senator Stone, chair man of the foreign, relations commit tee, has not the slightest doubt about it.

It is obvious, according to these experts. that any European nation attacking this country must establish, first of all. base from which to operate. West Indies Natural Base. This is impossible on the Atlantic or Gulf coast, because before an army can be transported the seas must be swept free of the enemy, and the In crease in the regular forces of the United States assures the prompt de struction of any small number of men which a hostile fleet might be able to land. The natural place for an enemy to locate a base would be the West Indies, for this would provide him with dual objective the United States proper and the Panama Canal. Once provided with a' base, it would be impossible for the fleet to refit and go out in search of the American Navy, and any ships damaged could return to the base for repairs. The American Navy now has a base at Guantanamo. on the southeastern shore of Cuba. Unfortunately, this base Is a thousand miles from the ex treme western fringe of the West In dian Islands and so situated that an enemy could swing to the south and pass the Caribbean Sea. seizing a har bor such as that of Curacao, 600 miles from tile Panama Canal, owned by the Dutch government.

These pass from hand to hand and, are eagerly received. Governor Anguelo. of the southern part of Lower California, in an attempt to bring some order out of monetary, financial and economic chaos, brought on by the ravages of war, has ordered constitutional cur rency Issues withdrawn and Mexican silver bank bills are now in circula tion. Many Americans are reported return lng to Guaymas and Mazatlan, urged by the prospect of a resumption of railroad operation between Nogales and Mazatlan. While it is reported that one mining company near M zanillo will resume work soon, other companies, it was said, may suspend in definitely because employes are de manding pay in Mexican silver instead of paper money. .

The men will march from Camp Withycombe to Gladstone, where they will entrain on the streetcars for the city.

Mr. Hedley told the committee he was at all times willing to meet the employes of this company and that ne would do giaa to see the committeemen at bis office at noon tomorrow. Labor Support Pledged. The meeting was attended by a dele gation from the Central Labor Federa tion, representing 350,000 union men, who pledged their moral and financial support to the motormen and conouc tors in their efforts to unionize. Tele grams were received from Chicago, Boston and Detroit, making similar pledges. Prompt action was taken by the gen eral manager to provide for emer gencies. He notified Max Schmlttberg er. chief Inspector of police, that strike had been called on the lines of the New York Railways Company. In spector Schmlttberger at once detailed men to guard the power-houses and carbarns of the company. Uniformed policemen will be assigned to every car, operated either by non-striking employes of the corporation or by strikebreakers. If the surface-car order goes into full effect, all Manhattan will be dependent for transportation tomorrow on the subway and elevated lines, already crowded to suffocation in the rush hours. The number - of persons who travel to and from their work on sur face carlines has been estimated at 1.600.000. Even a small percentage of these passengers, if forced to ride on overhead or underground trains, will seriously disrupt operating schedules. it is feared. Exteaalosi of Strike Plaaned.
