CARRANzA ID H0LD' MEN ACCOUNTABLE. FOR ACTS 0N BORDER
Chief Gives Formal Notice to Frontier Commanders That Discipline Must
 Be Observed

Brownsville, Tex. September 11.-Com- manders have been notified by General Carranza they will be held strictly &C., countable for any complications arising with the American government as a re- suit of any overt acts committed by their soldiers, according to reports reaching here today
 From an authoritative source it was learned also that Carranza has notified Gen. E. P. Nafarette. commander at Mat amoras, that carelessness and inatten- tion to troubles on the border will not be countenanced. Similar notification has been sent to Gen. Alfredo Ricaut, com mander at Nuevo Laredo.
 The situation on the border has been investigated by an agent of the Carranza government, who Is said to have found that the commanders on the Mexican bor- der have not given their attention to troubles on. the American side they de- served, and that this continued heed lessness is menace to the Carranza cause. A recommendation also was made for the transfer from Matamoras to the Interior of two editors of local Car ranZa paper who have been writing in- fiammatory news stories and editorials.
 Brownsville. Tex. September IL. About 2100 Mexicans have left this section for Mexico. according to fig- ures obtained here today. At one ranch near Sebastian. Tex, all four Mexican tenant families have left. leaving their crops unharvested. Other Mexicans who own land have abandoned everything except household goods in their haste to get back into Mexico. Many of these emigrating Mexicans are what Is | Jv cases American owners of land they had worked for. are arranging to give the Mexicans a share of the crops which would have been due had these tenants remained. but even making these arrangements Is difficult because the Mexicans refuse to cross the river even for an hours business interview.
 The Mexicans who have fled to Mex leo have not gone entirely because of the rigid clean-up of bad characters made by American peace officers. but also In fear of bad men and revolution ists among their own people on the American side.
 In addition to two Mexicans known to have been slain by their own peo- other Mexicans at least have been Killed by the bandits.
 The use of shotguns in some of these killings has been held as part evil evidence against Mexican plotters. as organized forces on the American side use rifles and pistols
 In the outlying sections suspicion Is still SO great that Mexicans found out alone at night are in great danger. and A Mexican seen on horseback with . gun or rifle at any time of the day lis in danger of death. The extension of the army patrol into rural districts Is reported to he reducing this suspicion and restoring more normal living con- ditions among both nationalities

Financiers to Demonstrate Benefits to American Trade to Be Secure by
 Floating Mammoth Loan
WILL ENDEAVOR TO CREATE DEMAND FOR
 FINANCING CREDITS
Commissioners Will Spend Several Days Studying Money Situation Here Be fore Taking Action

New York; September 11.--To smooth mammoth credit loan to Great Britain and France. and probably Russia and Italy. tho Anglo French financial commission.
 1t was said today. probably will confer
 soon with the chief American exporters of
 grain and other commodities Whether
 the makers of munitions are among those exporters could not be ascertained. It previously had been thought the com mission would deal with bankers and financiers alone. The proposal that 1t
 meet the exporters as well. so that the
 actual shippers may realize the impor- tance of the commissions task Is under
 stood to have been received with general favor. As yet. no definite plans of pro-
 cedure have been formulated.
 The meeting with exporters if finally decided on. would be arranged with a view to enlisting their efforts informal- ly. in arranging the contemplated credit here As yet there has been no apparent widespread demand that the banks of the country unite In financing a loan of
 $500, 900 or more with which to pay for supplies bought in America. The inn presson exists that unless such de- mand can be created the commission will | find its task an onerous one.
 Matter Up to Exporters The commission. 1t was said, was pre-
 pared to place squarely before the export-
 CTS the possible results to American ex- port trade should 1t be impossible to
 find way to establish big foreign credit here. Heavy curtailmsnt Of foreign or
 ders in everything but war munitions. the commission believes. would follow failure
 to float the loan.
 For several days, it was said, the com
 mission expects to continue Its meetings here with financiers of New York and
 other citizens before beginning its actual labors. No conferences were held today.
 Most of the members went to the Long Island shore to rest over Sunday. Yes I terday. the day of their arrival, had been Q strenuous one, beginning with their
 meeting with J. P Morgan. including | reception where 100 or more leading men | of New York's financial life were pre- scented to them, and ending late at night with dinner given them by a party of New York bankers. A

Dumba Departs From Capital

New York September 11.-Dr. Con- stantin T. Dumba Austro- Hungarian ambassador, left here today for his summer home at Lenox. Mass. Dr. Dum- ba was accompanied by his secretary. Prince Zu Hohenlohe. who waived aside newspaper men when they at- tempted to interview the ambassador. Dr. Dumba spent several hours with Count Von Bernstorff. the German am- bassador. last night. At the conclusion of this meeting both diplomats de- clined to say anything regarding Pres ident Wilson's action in requesting the recall of Dr. Dumba.
 pr. Dumba's secretary said the ann bassador was quite reconciled to the request that he be recalled and was forced to maintain silence because of his position. After he had been able to think the matter over he added. he probably would issue a statement.
 The secretary said it had not been determined just when the ambassador would return to New York. or how long he would remain in Lenox.

U. s. May Accede to Request
 for Arbitration of Arabic Incident-Attack on the Orduna to Be Explained
DIR. DUMBA DEPARTS FOR SUMMER HOME
 WITHOUT COMMENT
No Further Developments Reported on Diplomatic Tangle at Washington Dr. Dumba Reconciled

Washington, September 1.-The issue with Germany today became less acute through consideration of the proposal to take the disputed questions of fact in the Arabic case to The Hague.
 Some officials believe to do so would amount to arbitrating the principles for which the United States has been con tending. and would open the way to practically unlimited submarine opera tons with disputed questions of fact and arbitration in each case.
 Other officials believe that without passing on the principles involved. The Hague might properly be allowed to de- eide, not whether the submarine com mander thought he was Justified in sink ing the Arabic, because he believed she liner actually was attempting to resist or escape, and if so, whether that justi- fled the commanders act
 Both these views are being urged on President Wilson. who will decide what shall be done. Secretary Lansing refused today to indicate his view.
 Aspect More Favorable
 There may be no decision for a day or two, but indications in official quar- ters generally are more favorable. Al though all officials consider the German explanation disappointing. there appears to be more of a prospect of finding some ground on which the two countries can meet.
 Another note. officially reported to have been delivered to Ambassador Gerard by Germany last night. failed to arrive to- day. Secretary Lansing said he ahad no official knowledge what the cofnrnunica- ton contained. but from other sources 1t was reported to be Germany's explan- ation of the unsuccessful attempt to de- stroy the Cunarder Orduna July 9, when a submarine sent torpedo within 10 yards of the ships stern. then unsuc- cessfully shelled her until she was out of range. The Orduna was on her way to the United States and had P Amer leans aboard.
 In the Orduna case there Is con flict of statements as to whether the ship had warning or tried to escape. It is not an issue between the United States and Germany and Is not con- sidered likely to Become one. The Ger man note Is in response to inquiries by Ambassador Gerard. It is not re- garded as bearing on the present sit uation unless it contains some new declaration of principles.
 The view of the closest observers here is that in the Arabic case the dan- ger of a break grows less as the hours pass without action.
 Nothing developed today to alter the case of pr. Dumba, Capt Franz Von Papen the German military attache. and Alexander Nuber Won Pereked, Austrian consul general in New York. The United States is waiting for Aus tria's reply to the request to with draw Dr. Dumba. Whether the other men are sufficiently involved in the ambassadors offense to make their re- maining in the United States impossible will be decided later.
