Protocol BelieUed
 SignedByCarranza
 PaniOn Way North
U. 5. Next Step Is To Get
 Guarantee Protecting For eigners and Property and to Make Mexico Sanitary. ]
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--It is be lieved here that MT. Pani will cross the border at Laredo and make tele- graphic report from there. Under in structions from the membes Of the commission, the attaches of both gov eTnments have spent much of the time since the adjournment at Atlantic City in drafting tentative programs for further discussion. Luis Cabrera chairman of the Mexican commission in an interview credited to him re gently in a Mexico City newspaper referred 0 the subjects to be discussed after the ratification of the protocol as of minor importance" but the pro gram drafted by the American com missiOners includes a list of subjects regarded by them as of great import ance
 The Americans, it is understood. will insist on the agreement ro the addenda to the protocol that will serve as a guarantee that the Carranza govern ment will respect and protect the rights of Americans and other for eigners in Mexico. The MeXicans pro babiy will be asked to agree to the amendment or annullment of all de crees that provide for coniiscation Of foreign-Owned property, and for the readjustment of decrees providing virtually prohibitory schedules of taxa ton.
 Pressure will be brought to bear to secure the creation of a commission to obtain settlement of all claims. The Carranza representatives also will be asked to agree to joint action in ia specting the sanitation Of Mexican cities. and in lighting cpidemics of contagious and infectious diseases known to be prevalent in different parts of Mexico. It will be suggested that the American government be ac- corded the right to send physicians to cooperate in the task and to use such funds as may be necessary. Ihe Rockefeller Foundation is expected to furnish the money.
 Official advices from Mexico today included the notidcation that the gov ernment has issued circular permit ting the use Of American currency both metallic and paper, as legal tender. This was construed as an ad- mission by the Carranza government that all efforts to force into circuia- ton its issues of paper money nave failed.

A CARLOAD OF EGGS.

The Wicks legislative committee of New York, which has investigating high prces reveals this story of the adventures of a carload of eggs.
 The eggs were laid early last June by Indiana hens The various producers about 20 cents dozen for them By the time they amounted collectively to load they sold butter and egg wholesalers firm for 241A cents a dozen.
 That firm sold them, soon afterward, dealer who reails eggs by system of peddlers' wagons. He paid 251k for them, put them into storage and held them for rise in the market months later they had risen to 29 cents dozen. He sold them back, at that figure. the firm he had bought them from. On the day that firm sold them to another for 90 cents The latter company found they not fresh represented-that fact they were storage "sec- ends" rather than "frsts" The original wholesalers were obliged to buy them back at 30 cents.
 By this time it was October. The eggs were four months old getting older every minute They sold frankly seconds" this time, wholesaler. at slight profit He sold them at gain of S7S73 the carload. The day the market had advanced, and he bought them back quarter of a cent than he had for them Then he sold the lot to candler who supplies eggs and hotels receiving S4 cents dozen. The cander the best of them to restaurants for 4S dozen Those that were just
 fair sold to at 42 retailed 46 to 55 cents dozen.
 That is the way cold storage managed today. benefits the public In the constant trading half dozen more profits made them before they even offered to the Sometimes the eggs are not transferred at athe transaction is merely paper one-and that's frank speculation. Sometimes the eggs are really transferred and that's bad for the eggs
 Why can't have eggs put in storage house in the spring and summer kept there until they're needed and then sold direct to the distributor the out any gamblers profits? Why should eggs costing 20 cents to produce in June sell for than 30 December?

It is right that government should demand ol the Allies that they let the Austrian ambassador safely through their naval blockade lines That action is required maintain the principle that the persons diplomats nviolable and preserve own self respect We're not especially enaored Austrian am- bassadors but object anybody saying them.
 If there is any vexatious delay the part of Great Britain agreeing demand, there perfectly simple way out All have to do is to send over a warship to bring Count Tarnowski.
 That would not be inviting trouble would be avoid ing it. There wouldn't be any fighting. No foreign navy will meddle with American warship going about its busihessand that thing is navys business. All has to do is 10 tip the word Co Count Tarnowsk that American cruiser will drop into Dutch Danish port a certain day in a receptive mood The ambassador would be there with his luggage He'd be delivered and sound at Washington few days later. Britannia rules the waves but doesn't rule them enough to stop that Of transaction.
