arranging credit for his government, but would leave that to Alfredo Caturegli, General Carranza's S financial agent at New York.
 It is believed here that the question of constructive measures to stabilize the Mexican government will come up before the conversations have progressed very far. The Washington administra ton is understood to be firmly convinced as ever that the only proper and efficient cure for the distressing condition of its south ern neighbor must be found within that country, not through intervention. At the same time a cure for the lawless conditions in the border states must be found before the United States can feel justified in abating in any degree the preparation it is making to protect it's frontier by force of arms.
 There is no question that the Mexican government will contend forcefully for the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico. Since the purpose to compel their withdrawal has been abandoned, however, officials do not look for an- other deadlock on that issue. President Wilson is said to be ready to order the troops out promptly when he has any as- surance that 1t will not mean merely a renewal of the conditions that caused them to be sent in. But no plan of ac- tion now agreed upon can be based upon an agreement to WltnuraW them.
 Mobilization of the National Guard continued to go forward today, and the state soldiers are certain to get valuable experience upon the border before they are released from the federal srvice. Just how long it will be necessary to maintain all or part of the force to aid the regulars in patrol duty cannot now be predicted with accuracy.
 Events in Mexico will determine that It Is certain, however, that the entire mobile regular army will be kept in border garrison while there is the re- motest danger of new bandit uprisngs,
 Publication today of Secretary Bakers order that members of the guard with dependent families be discharged from the service was the first sign at the war department that tension on the border had relaxed. It is regarded as making unnecessary any legislation the sub ject of relief for soldiers families and also carries out the expressed desire of President Wilson that the border patrol duty be arranged so as to work as little inconvenience for the citizen soldiers as possible.
 Further reports of the return of Amer ican refugees from Mexico reached all government departments. State depart ment officials anticipated that many would desire to go back at once in view of the favorable turn in the interna- tional situation. Every effort to dissuade them will be made

.K|TCH|N OPENS FOR PARTY REVENUE BILL NOnpartisan Support Asked
 for Measure ATTACKING BEGIN s FOrdney of Michigan Says Income Tax Section Was Burden Imposed by
 South on NOrth-Longworth
 Promises His Support
ATTACKING BEGIN S

Washington, July 6.-The House to- day began a four days debate on the administration revenue bill designed to tax on incomes and by taxes on in heritances and on war munitions prof it's Under a special rule a final vote will be taken before adjournment Mon day
 Majority Leader Kitchin opened the debate with a plea that the bill be passed as a nonpartisan preparedness measure, since so large part of the revenue to be derived from it would go to pay for army and navy increases. Republican leaders replied by charging the administration with gross extrava- gance and by attacking as i'll advised the means now proposed to meet the treasury situation.
 MT. Kitchin outlined in detail the federal governments financial condi- tion and the expenses that will have to be met during the coming year. A total of S266.000,000, he said, would be needed to carry the enormous appro- prlation programme Congress had drawn up and the S197.0 900 to be raised by the revenue bill would leave $69, ,000.000 to be made up out of the general fund.
 We propose" he contiued, "to take from the general balance fund, which on June 30 was the largest by many millions of any year for the last eight years, the sum of s69,000.000 and then leave in the disbursing offices or to their credit s60.000,000 to operate the governments current expenses. After taking out that s69.000,oOo to make good the $266.000.00 we will thea have over $100 900, 900 in the general balance fund
 We propose to finance any possible trouble with Mexico or any other na- tion. as this nation and all other na- tions have always financed such emer- gencies by the issuance of bonds"
 The majority leader added, however, that Congress probably would not be called upon to authorize the bond is- sue until just before adjournment Of the session.
 Representative Fordney of Michigan. ranking republican member of the ways and means committee. attacking the proposal for a surtax on incomes, declared the income tax was a burden being imposed on the northern states by the south. The 12 southern states which control the democratic House caucus, he said, have 27 per cent of the country's population but pay only GA per cent of the income tax
 Representative Hill of Connecticut. another republican, declared the bill probably puts heavier burden of tax ation upon the American people than any other one measure in the history or the republic" Representative Long worth of Ohio. republican, announced that he would support it Gin view of US temporary character, necessity and high importance of the appropriations It is designed to pay and the fact that it in large measure is based on re- publican principles" He declared, how ever, that the party in power had broken all records of wastefulness and that millions upon millions of dollars have. been dumped into projects of benefit only to a few in a continu- ously favored section of the country"

MRS. WILLIS MAKES PUBLIC SANITATION
 SCORES OF CAFES
Steele-Smith and Hillman Hotel Restaurants Show Perfect Score-Other
 Marks High

In accordance with the instructions of Health Officer Dr. Cecil D. Gaston, the sanitation scores of various cafes and restaurants about the city were made public yesterday by Mrs. M. H. Willis, the assistant food inspector of the city
 The report of Mrs. Willis only covers inspections since June l. and owing to change in the standardization of scoring the marks of soda fountains are not yet ready for publication. However, accord ing to Mrs Willis, none of the soda foun- tains of the city will show perfect sanitary score.
 We have been unostentatiously in- specting all foodstuffs for the past two months, said Mrs. Willis but the pres ent epidemic of typhoid has brought our department in the public eye and the publicity is welcomed, as 1t means greater respect for the health laws of the city,"
 In the report filed with pr. Gaston yesterday, the Hillman hotel cafe and the Steele-Smith restaurant showed perfect scores Following is the list of scores on local cafes by Mrs. Willis:

 with Henry P. Fletcher designated to be ambassador to Mexico, and Paul M. War burg of the federal reserve board. The object of the meeting was not disclosed, but great significance was attached to it as indicating that the state department had found it convenient just at this time to inquire as to the probable attitude of American bankers and as to the dis position of the federal reserve board it. self toward lending such aid as might be in it's power, to the Mexican government.
 LANSING RETICENT
 No statement could be obtained as to the nature of the financial project that may be in contemplation. MT. Warburg is a recognized authority on all matters of American finance and his advice prob ably would be sought even if the fed eral reserve board was in no way in volved.
 Secretary Lansing would not discuss the terms of the note he will forward to the de facto government approving the sug- gestion for direct diplomatic negotiations. It is believed. however, that 1t will lay great stress upon the friendly purposes of the United States and intimate that any plan of action that may be sug- gested, which will insure the security of the American border will find ready ac- ceptance in Washington
 General Carranza's note succinctly stat ed the issue which almost brought war. It pointed out that the reasonable anxi- ety. of the United States for the safety of it's frontier on the one hand and the feeling of the de facto government on the other that the presence of American troops in Mexico increases the causes of friction. were the questions to be set tied.
 It appeared probable tonight that Sec retary Lansings reply would make an equally clear definition of the issue. as it Is seen by the Washington government. These formal statements will serve later as a guide to the negotiators, who will seek solution by informal discussion o1 all the elements involved.
 MT. Arredondo said tonight that while he had general instructions from his gov ernment to discuss with the state depart rnent the points on which there is dis agreement, he would await new orders from Mexico City before undertaking the proposed negotiations. He added that he did not expect to take up the question of

defects of the bill were pointed out. And 1t was demonstrated that the Senate was not as anxious to discard all so-called useless appropriations as it had on the previous afternoon appeared to be.
 On the next morning, Senator Taggart obtained the floor. After few prelimi- nary remarks, he said:
 But. MT. President, I find on page 57 of the bill (the agricultural bill from which had been stricken the seed pro- vision) an item of $40, $40 to enable the department to investigate the food habits of North American birds, including ex- pertinent and demonstration work in de- stroying wolves coyotes, prairie dogs and gophers, and to investigate the disease of wild ducks in the Salt Lake valley re- zion of Utah.
 "Of this item of S42o,540, it is proposed that $15,00O be expended in the destruc- ton of ground squirrels 5000 in treating sick ducks in Utah, $125,000 in destroying coyotes, wolves and other animals in-. furious to agriculture, and in addition. s1250oo to be used in the destruction of predatory animals afflicted with rabies.
 THE SENATE HALTS
 But in that it had stricken the seed provision of $25200o the Senate was evil dent1y, impressed with the idea that it' had done enough in putting an end to8 graft At any rate it very cleveryS sidetracked the Taggart resolution strik-l ing out $450,540 item relating to ducks, gophers and wolves.
 The senator from Indiana, as a natl ter of fact made very little impression. when he proved that in destroying pred- atory animals great numbers of hunters at salaries ranging from $75 to $1l5 per month were employed, and that when a hunter bagged wolf a month, he was generally congratulated for the excellences and efficiency of his work.
 The senator even gave proof that wolves could be destroyed by a pack of hounds and by offering reward for scalps at com paratively no expense. But the Senate1 had done enough, it was indicated.

TO AID NEW YORK
 TO FIGHT EPIDEMIC

New York, July 6.-After a confer ence between Secretary of the Treas ury McAdoo. Mayor Mitchell, Health Commissioner Emerson and others it was announced tonight that the Un- ted States public health service would cooperate with the New York authori- ties in their efforts to stamp out the epidemic of infantile paralysis, which already has cost the lives of more than 150 children.
 The federal aid. it was said, would at once be directed to tracing the origin of the disease. Commissioner Emerson asserted that the health de- partment is anxious to find, if pos sible, the so-called carriers of the dis ease. since this seems to be the in formation necessary to enable the au- thorities to control it.
 All hospitals. it was said, will. be asked to send material from fatal cases of infantile paralysis to the depart ment of health for examination and research.
 Additional cases reported since 10 o'clock this morning were S1. Of these 50 are in Brooklyn.

 Admiral Jellicoe estimates the German losses at two battleships of the dread naught type, one of the Deutschland type, which was seen to sink the battle cruiser Lutzow, admitted by the Germans, one battle cruiser of the dreadnaught type, one battle cruiser seen to be so severefy damaged that it's return was extremely doubtful, five light cruisers, seen to sink -one of them possibly a battleship six destroyers, seen to sink, three destroyers so damaged that it was doubtful if they would be able to reach port, and sub marine sunk. In concluding, Admiral Jel- licoe says:
 "The conditions of low visibility under which the day action took place, and the approach of darkness enhanced the diff culty of giving an accurate report of the damage inflicted or the names of the ships sunk by our forces. But, after a most careful examination of the evidence of all the officers who testified to seeing enemy vessels actually sink, l am of the opinion that the list shown in the en- closure gives the minimum numbers. In addition to the vessels sunk, it is unques- tionable that many other ships were very damaged by gunfire and torpedo attac

BALTIMORE, Nov. 17-The Am
 erican Federation of Labor has re- jected the provision of Wilson's le- gislative program making illegal any railroad strike or lockout prior to an investigation of the merits of the easel. The legislative committee recommended that the convention take an unequivocal position agains'
 any compulsory institutions being established in the United States, and denouncing positively any effort to introduce compulsory arbitration. The committee further urges that the convention favor the mainten. ance of all opportunities for strikes and strike settlement action, and complete freedom from arbitary ef- forts to enforce compulsory service. Referring to the bill introduced in Congress for that purpose, the re- port of the committee reads that it is an effort to again subject the
