 SETTLED BY GERARD
France and Germany Adjust Differ ences Regarding Treatment
 of Prisoners

Berlin. July -(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-Through the efforts of James w. Gerard, the Uni- ted States ambassador to Germany, the French and German retaliatory meas ures arising out of the case of Lieu tenant Von Schierstaedt and Lieutenant Count Noh Strachwitz and a patrol of German soldiers have been virtually settled.
 Reports received from Berlin said the Germans who are in the hands of the French were mistreated Lieuten- ant Won Schierstaedt is said to have been sentenced to deportation to French Guiana and to have been chained to another convict. The Ger man press demanded reprisals and six French officers captured by the Ger mans were picked out for harsh treat Rent-
 Sometime ago the American ambas- sador at the request of the French government informed the Berlin for elgn office that the Germans would be treated as prisoners of war and not as criminals.
 It is now understood that Von Shir- staedt will be returned to Germany and the sentences of Count Won Strach- w.tz and the soldiers of the patrol re- voked They will be treated as ordi- nary prisoners of war.
 The six French officers selected for rctailiatory treatment are to be re- turned to regular officers camps.

 IMPERATIVE NEED

Seattle. Wash, August 9.-Buiding up of the American merchant marine is an imperative need Judge Thomas Burke, president of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce told the federal trade commission here today. Others supported Judge Burke's arguments.
 'If this mission.' said Judge Burke "can suggest to Congress legislation which will place American shipping on an equal basis with it's competitors it will be ren- dering service of incalculable benefit to the citizens of the United States
 But one ship flying the American flag sails from Seattle, said Judge Burke, and soon this will be hauled down He con tinued;
 We are ready for business, but are powcrless to go further without ships The markets of the world are open to US as never before, but we cannot take advantage of these opportunities because we have no vessels in which to send our goods

Programme for Bringing About Peace in Mexico Will Be Ratified at Pan- American Conference
LANSING REPORTS THE OUTLOOK NOW
 MOST ENCOURAGING
Secretary of State Declines to Make Public Details of Peace Plan, But Sees Successful Issue

Washington, August 9.-North and South American powers have agreed on definite plan for dealing with the Mexican problem, and when the Pan American conference Is resumed in New York "Wednesday the programme will be ratified.
 This information came today from Secretary Lansing, who, though he would not discuss details, said he was decidedly encouraged over the outlook. Confidence expressed by officials gener- ally that the conferees representing the United States Brazil. Argentina Chile, Bolivia, Guatemala and Uruguay will shape course likely to restore constitu- tional government in Mexico Is due to the fact that all agree that most of the people of the republic are sick of war and with encouragement from friendly powers will join in a movement to clean house. X large part of the country and vast ma jorty of the people have not been in-
 
 overthrow of Huerta. Only the fear of reprisals by the military cheftains has kept the people in subjecton, confidential agents have reported to President Wilson.
 Urge Co-Operation
 Reaching their conclusion on these rc- ports, the Pan American conferees are understood to have determined to pre- sent the situation to all clements in Mex leo, including military leaders and other influential men. urging them to come to- gethcr for conference at which sub siantial provisional government may be formed
 A government so set up would have the support of the United States and other American republics. Officials here be- lieve it could suppress promptly any dis satisfied groups. Officials hope none of the important chiefs will oppose the plan. There has been talk of joint armed in- tervention to quiet any leader who insista on remaining in the field with military forces. Some of the conferees. however, are said to believe that the moral support of the powers behind the clements join ing in the conference for a new pro- visional government. together with q strict embargo on arms shipments to refractory leads would quickly accomplish the de. sired result.
 Lansing Optimistic
 Secretary Lansing talked optmisticaly today about the situation. 'When the conference adjourned here last Friday. he said 'it had reached the point where very definite policy with regard to the solution of the Mexican problem had been agreed upon. The conference was ad- journed because I wished to consult Pres ldent Wilson regarding this agreement have consulted him through correspond ence and we are now ready to resume deliberations and to proceed with the working out of details based upon the original agreement"

 Besides these enveloping movements east of Warsaw. Berlin reports steady ham mering at the great Russian fortresses of Kovno and Lomza, near the lines of railway communications to Petrograd. Novogeorgievsk Is the only place west of Warsaw at which a Russian garrison remains It's fall seems imminent. POLES ATTITUDE
 AROUSES INTEREST
 The attitude of the Poles towards the new German regime Is arousng deep in terest The occupation of Warsaw united for the first time three branches of the Poles heretofore divided among Russia, Germany and Austria. Under the Ru- sian regime Poland has been a hotbed of disorder and 1t remains to be seen wheth- CT control of this occupied territory will be as difficult for Germany as for Rus sia
 Berlin characterizes the operations around Hooge as "a battle" but Sir John French reports trench fighting preceded by severe artillery exchange, and end ing in recapture by the British of nearly mile of trenches. This has diverted public attention temporarily from the magniture of the German sweep in the east. but operations in the west still lack general significance.
 The commander of another British sub marine whose name has not been dis closed, was reported today to have dis tinguished himself by sinking the Turkish battleship Kheyr-Ed-D Din Barbarossa.
