somewhat lighter guns than they have
beer using. Thts may mean either that
they are sending troops and artillery
to the east to use against the Russians,
or, that they are preparing new at
tack against the allies.
That the enterprise that failed in
Flanders will not be repeated for the
present, seems probable, as the allies
have been allowed to capture some
points of vantage around Ipres, which
were previously considered necessary
to the German plans. There has been
a minor attack near Arras but not in
enough force to suggest that the Ger
mans have tried to get to the coast by
direct route from the east

first, by the allies attempts to outfianS
the Germans, who countered, and then
by their plans to rrAose 80 the uortheast
to Ghent and Bruges, which also failed
gan, with the French coast ports as the
objective, but this movement, like
those of the allies, met with failure.
Field Marshal French, doubtless in
response to the demands of the British
public, tells what the various units OF
the expeditionary force have been do
ing-those that failed and were cut Off
and those who against superior num-
bers held the trenches for a month. He
gives it as his opinion that the German
losses have been thrice as great as
those of the allies. and speaks optimis-
tically of the future.
There has been no development in
the Balkan situation, but stress is laid
on the clause of the kings speech at
the opening of the Rumanian parlia-
ment, in which he said:

portance of the present situation, you
will give the goyernmentf every assist
ance in passing such legislation as is
demanded by the circumstances and re-
quired to meet the needs of the army"

were unanimous in their opinion that
the government should take immediate
steps to check drinking among women,
They furthermore believed that any
regulation undertaken by the govern

women. The prohibition of the sale of
liquor before noon was suggested as
regulation that would lessen the
emptation offered by public houses.
Such a curtailment of the hours of
public houses would permit them to
remain open only ten hours daily.
Mr.. McKenna replied that 1t would
require new act from parliament to
enable him to curtail the hours of

Chicago, Nov. 30.-In opening his
statement to the arbitration board,
Warren s. stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
representing approximately $4,000 en-
ployes on ninety eight western rail-
roads reviewed the conferences and
meetings which preceded the present
arbitration of wage and service diff
ferences between the railroads and
their employees.
Stone laid great stress on the hard
ships suffered by the men. their long
hours of service, the hazards which
they encounter and the weight of re-
sponsibility thrown on the men at the
throttle and the firemen at the stoke
hole. He said there was no attempt
on the part of the employees to distort
the facts, that it could be proved by
truthful witnesses that the employees
were clearly entitled to better service
conditions and higher wages.

UPON CARRANZA'S ANSWER
DEPENDS FUTURE PEACE

Niagara Falls, June S.-Upon the
answer OF Carranza to the mediator S
note forwarded today depends wheth-
er the Mexican problem will be set
tied automatically or whether the
Constituencies will continue to
fight their way to Mexico City. The
mediators have smoothed the way for
Constitutionalist participation at the
conference. The United States wants
them represented and rejection may
eventually mean the Withdrawal Of the
United States moral support which
hadl been extended the Constitutional
tst cause. Tonight the mediators are
hopefully confident Carranza will send
ENJOYS here. Instead Of believing the
negotiations will be prolonged by their
presence they think a settlement will
be reached quicker If all the parties
are here to shape the peace plan.
There was no conference today but
ft may be stated there will be no OBJ
stacles placed in the way OF Constitu-
tiona.hst participation by the Huerta
delegates or other principals.

REBEL AGENT zUBARAN
Is IN CORRESPONDENT

Washington, June 3.-Rafael Zubar-
an, (a1so known as Rafael Zubara n
Capmany), Carranza's agent in Wash
ington, was to take up with his chief
in distant Durango todav the note
from the mediators which asked, in eff
feet, whether the ConsttutionaUsts
now were willing to discuss the dom
este as we'll as the international phase
of the Mexican problem. and to de-
clare a truce with Huerta- On that
reply would hinge, it was believed,
the next big act in the Niagara con-
ference It was expected TO reveal Of
ficially CarranZa's attitude toward the
efforts of the South American ENJOYS
and possibly to determine whether
mediation will be confined TO the dis
pute between Huerta and the United
States or to include the general prob
lem of a cure for MeXicos ills.
Coming on the heels of a statement
by the Huerta delegates that the Fed
eral dictator was ready to resign when
Mexico was politically pacified'' it
put up to CarranZa, temporarily at
least, the proposition OF general med
iatton. How he would answer the
rnediators' note could not be foreseen.
Zuburan, who is Carranzas minister
of the interior. declined to discuss it.
1t was believed the reply would not

De made known until after it had been
sent to the enyoys. AS to the state
ment of the Huerta delegates, the
Constttutionalists agents readily re-
lterated that anything coming from
Huerta's 5 side would not receive con-
sideration''
In many quarters it was believed
that Carranza in his answer to the
medlators would stand on his original
position-refusal to subscribe to a
truce and the contention that tile
ment of MeXicOS internal affairs was
beyond the bounds of diplomatic ac-
t1vlty. Hope was not lacking however
that an evening element would be
found to bring the ENJOYS and the
Const1tutionalists together so that the
northern faction would have represen-
tatfon in the conference.
Administration officials declined to
comment on the statement of the HUI
erta delegates, but. it was believed, ef-
forts to smooth the way for Constitu-
tionalist participation in the proceed
ings had not ceased. The stated posi-
tion of the Federals that Mexico's in
ternal problems necessarily were
bound up with international ques-
tfons,'' removed possibility Of Compli-
cations from that source.
But whether CarranZa eventually
would concede as much, was entirely
speculative.
