Question OF Neutralizlng the Rail.
way Between Mexico City
and Vera Cruz.

Washington.-With the hope Of
securing permanent protection for the
$4,000 foreigners in Mexico City, the
United States government has pro
posed TO the Villa-Zapata farces and
to General Carranza that the Mexican
capital be declared neutral and outside
the field of operations hereafter in
Mexicos civil war.
The Villa.Zapata forces have agreed
to the proposal and are willing to
evacuate the city as soon as a SINH
lar agreement is obtained with the
Carranza authorities.
On General Carranza depends also
whether or not the efforts OF the
United States to neutralize the railway
between Mexico City and Vera Cruz
shall succeed, as the villa-Zapata off,
cials have likewise given their assent
to this proposal.
State Department officials declined
to discuss the status OF the two pro-
posals beyond saying that they were
still under consideration. The plan
with respect to Mexico City contem-
plates an arrangement whereby order
would be maintained there by local
council made up of prominent resi-
dents selected by mutual agreement
between the opposing factions. The
capital would not then under the terms
OF the proposed agreement be subject
to further attacks nor would there be
any more changes in government until
a central government had been estab.
llshed.
Ofcials and dlplomatists here, who
are conversant with the details OF the
plan, are much encouraged by the
prompt acceptance given to II by the
Villa-Zapata authorities and now are
hopeful that General Carranza can be
persuaded TO do likewise.

OIL PRODUCTS BILL.

Oil men not only from Pennsylvania,
but from different parts of the country,
appeared before the Senate Judiciary
General Committee on the bill intro
duced by Senator Phipps, of Venango
County. requiring products OF crude
petroleum and compounds to be so
branded as to indicate the kind and
grade of such petroleum from which
the same are derived or manufactured.
The bill was introduced at the instance
OF oil producers OF this State. The
hearing developed the fact that the
producers are almost unit in favor
of the bill and that the rehners are
largely opposed to it. The producers
declared that Pennsylvania crude oil
was of such quality that IT brought
S1.40 barrel, while Oklahoma crude
was sold at forty cents a barrel and
other Western oils at prices lower than
Pennsylvania crude. They insisted
that the consumer in purchasing crude
petroleum or its products should know
whether he is getting the Pennsylvania
product or the product OF another
State.

efforts. the Russians between the Lup-
kow and Uszok passes have driven the
Austrians backward upon the heights
and have seized the railway leading
through Vola Mlchova and Lupkow
southwark into Hungary, according to
dispatches received here
The lighting was particularly bitter
near Yola Michoya, where the Aus
trians held strong positions in the
heights, protected by rows OF trenches
on the hillsides and wire entangle-
ments. To the east Of Yola Michoya,
an Austro-German force is being
pressed backward IN the direction Of
Uszok.
The Lupkow-Uszok region is now
the scene OF the most desperate fight
ing. South of the Dulka Pass, where
the Russians are entrenched in the
foothills, the Austrisns have aban-
doned their attacks. Both sides ap-
parenuy are awaiting the result Of the
great combat for possession Of the
Lupkow and Uszok Passes.
The remnants Of the Austrian force
that invaded Russian Bessarabia,
north OF Bukowina. is being forced
back upon the Rumanian border part
Of the Austrlans having been annihi.
lated. There Is every prospect that
the retreating Austtians will be forced
to cross into Rumanis and be interned
for the remainder Of the war.

men from Belgium TO strengthen their
eastern front, where the Russians have
taken the offensive.
The battle In the Carpathians con-
tinues by night and day. The Rus

forced. are making desperate efforts TO
force Uzsok and Lupkow Passes, and
upon the success Of these operations
their army. which Is on the Hungarian
side OF Dukla, is waiting before con-

Seemingly the Russians have had
considerable success, for the official
reports announce the repulse Of Aus
