ministration in dealing with Mexico and
promised to take the field in Maine or
anywhere else to prove that the Presi-
dent is responsible for anarchy in the
sister republic and failure to protect
American lives and property.
When Senator Fall parted from Chair

mand for Intervention in Mexico?"
MIR. Hughes must answer that ques-
ton. ! am here merely to counsel with
him and Chairman Wilcox as to how

voters so they can act intelligently on

Gen. Carranza the official United States

consents to the appointment of a COM
ment. who will hold conferences and
draw up a protocol or agreement re-
garding the reciprocal crossing of the

The commission will be further
authorized to settle the points at issue

the countries friendly.
If the commission agrees upon the
withdrawal of the army it Is understood

with financial questions, settlement of
claims. and in general with plans for
adjusting all issues between the United
