CARRANzA PROPOSES
COMMISSION OF SIX
Would Have Three From Each
Country Arrange Plan for
Protecting Border

Washington, July 14.-A commission
of six men, three from each country,
will be proposed by General Carranza
as an investigating body to study and
settle controversies between the Nnit-
ed States and Mexico, it was learned
here today. The proposal will be sub
mitted to the state department within
two or three days.
The commissioners will be directed
to work out complete series Of re-
medal steps probably involving the
patrolling of the border by troops of
the two countries. They would have
inauisitorial powers and would be ex-
pected to search out the causes of the
differences between the people on the
two sides of the boundary line.
They would be expected to make a
report with testimony by Americans
and Mexicans as to the incidents lead
ing to the border raid that precipitat-
ed the punitive expedition into Mexico
Neither Ambassador Arredondo oil
Ambassador Fletcher would be on the
commission nor would any officer OF
the state department or the foreign of
flee. Mexican members, however
would be affiliated with the dc facto
administration, though not in the dip
lomatic department. Negotiations
would start at some point on the Dor
der, probably FL Paso or San Antonio
in order that Mexicas and United
States military authorities might give
the commission their aelp.
Later the commission would come
north to some sumer resort-Asbury
Park or Atlantic City being favorably
considered.

TO the effect that he had arrived back
again in New York after an extended
automobile tour. as chauffeur to
New York party who last summer
started out for Alaska, going as far as
Seattle by auto. The machines used
were Ford auto trucks especially de-
signed and equipped for the trip. SO
that the party could sleep in the ma
chimes at night and make camp
wherever they happened to be. At Sc
attic the party left their machines and
left by steamer for Alaska. The entire
trip by automobile covered $4,000 miles
and a remarkable feature OF the Jour-
ney Is the fact that the same tires
were used all the way. Mr. Stoddard
stated in his letter that the trip was
a pleasing one and that he had been
back in New York about two weeks.

Miss Barstow read an interesting paper
on Current Events Of Interests to SUI
fragists." There was also a paper read
showing the long struggle which the men
Of England had to secure political rights.
The demand for suffrage Is only part Of
the continuous struggle Of the masses of
the people upward from slavery to po-
litical freedom. Magma Charter, signed
by King John of England in 1915. bestow-
ed the first political rights that anyone
had below the King, and then only to the
rich and powerful land-owning barons. 1t
was not until 1892 that the merchants and
manufacturers, rich not in land but in
money. gained the ballot. Later one
group after another OF the more humble
people were enfranchised. Each group.
eager for political rights for themselves,
were loath to hand on the newly &C
CURED freedom to others, and the argu-
ments they used were much the same as
men now use in refusings suffrage to wo-
men. But history as well as argument
repeats itself and women will be enfran-
chised. And when men and women stand
equal before the law and equal in oppor-
tunity. it is safe to predict that both
sexes will push forward together toward
the accomplishment of greater things
than the past has ever known.
