That Carranza's answer to the American peace commissioners' demands for signing of the troop withdrawal pro tocol had been received was the claim this afternoon of one of Carransa's agents here. He refused to jiermlt his name to be used in connection with a statement. Other available sources of information on that subject claimed tc know noth ing of it. Washington, Dec. 27. (U. P.) The United States goverr.ment will await a day or two for Carranza's answer on the troop withdrawal protocol. Though yesterday was the last day of prace in which he could sign, authorit ies expected today that transmission difficulties may have delayed his re ply. For that reason they refused even to consider formulation of any new Mexican policy until they were certain, he had ignored the recommen dations. In fact the general feeling still was that Carranra would come to terms in an eleventh hour message. If he does not, the Mexican peace commts sioa will be automatically ended, al though a formal session of farewell will probably be necessary.

FOUND FIGHT FOR RATE PARITY IS WON BY CITY MILLS Interstate Commerce Com mission Grants Plea of the Portland Lumber Compa nies for Equality. MARYSVILLE IS NAMED AS POINT OF DIVISION New Rates Are Ordered Es tablished on or Before March 15. Washington., Dec. 27. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) Fortland lumber mills won their fight for parity of rates with Willamette valley competitors In reaching San Francisco bay points by decision f thf Interstate Commerce commission today in the case brought by the In-man-Poulsen, Eastern & Western and East Side Lumber companies. ' The commission held that rates on fir and hemlock lumber and lath in straight or mixed carloads from Portland to San Francisco bay and all points south of Marysville. also to Auburn, should pot exceed Willamette valley rates or rates from the Tillamook branch to the same destinations. "Traffic from Portland east is more highly competitive than to the south," says the commission's decision, "and the first point south to which rates from Portland and the Willamette val ley should be the same may properly be more distant than the first point east of Portland. Wj are of the opin ion that rates south of Marysville, however, should not exceed rates from the Willamette valley." James G. Wilson represented the Portland mills. New rates In accord ance with the decision were ordered established on or before March 15. The Willamette valley lumber rate case has been hanging In the commis sion's balance since January 9, 1916. when it was argued at Washington by James G. Wilson, for the Portland lumber mills, and by C. A. Durbrow, for the Southern Pacific railway. , The hearing was had in the fall of 1916 at Portland, when all the facts were gathered for the commission. The railroad contended that under the present system of rate-making, arbi trary groups had to be established and a rate made for these groups based on the "average distance" from the towns In each to the "average point" in other groups. It happened that the Willamette valley group left off Just a few miles south of Portland. The Portland rate was higher than from- the valley, al though figures showed the railroad carrying lumber for long distances at the Willamette valley rate before the shipments even reached the main val ley line. A similar case Involving the rates from the Willamette valley and from Portland, respectively, Into the Salt Lake City territory, In which the same issues are set out, is still pending be fore the commission. In that case the Portland mills are seeking a lower rate than the valley enjoys. STATEMENT OF TERMS FOR PEACE Congress in Session in Paris Adopts Resolution Bea'ring on the Great War. Paris, Dec. 27.
