Washiagt0a Administrator thought
VIII Yield 10 Carranla's Views

Washington, d. C.-General Car
ranza's counter proposal to the Pan
American diplomats for conference
with him over international phases Of
the Mexican problem probably will be
approved, according to opinion ex-
pressed here by officials in touch with
the administration.
Although Carranza refused 70 yield
to the appeal of Secretary lansing and
representatives of six Latin-American
republics that he join his adyersasies
in . peace conference, it was pointed
out here that military conditions in
Mexico had undergone marked changes
in the last few weeks, and in some
quarters it was contended that Car
ranzsa's claims for recognition were
entitled to investigation.
Since the Pan-American appeal was
issued, Carranza's armies have pressed
pacification Of territory in Central and
Northern Mexico, while some reports
to the State department have declared
that General Villas forces are disin-
tegrating. From authoritative
sources adyices have reached Washing
ton that it would be difficult to con-
duct convention to select provis-
ionaI government In Mexico without
the participation Of Carranza and his
military commanders, who assert now
that they control nearly all Mexican
territory.

There Is no question that the ambassa-

She was unable 10 exercise this right
because of the British command Of the

main in this country. The right to
tell these men that they must not work
for the allies the German ambassador
holds to be as sound as the right to tell
them to return TO fight.
However, it is apparent that the
ambassador has no intention to make
an issue in respect to Captain Won Pa

Although the stiff advance taken IN
egg prices last week was expected to
keep the market steady here for some
time, an added scarcity Of this COM
modify has caused dealers to boost
prices to 336134 cents q dozen for the
fresh ranch product.
Huckleberries are getting scarcer
and prices are higher, the berries now
demanding 5 cents pound. The de-

The fish market Is well supplied

Heavier Hop Bales suggested.

advantage Of heavier baling by grow
ers this year. In the matter of export
business this is especially important,
in view of the limit placed by some Of
the Atlantic steamer lines on the num-
ber Of bales they viii handle during
the season. As steamer space reserva-
tions are made by number Of bales and
not by weight, it follows that larger
foreign business can be done than II
they are light. Weights running over
200 pounds to the bale are favored by
exporters.
