Provisions were rather slow. Packers
Packers sold distant futures, and appeared
TO be backing away from high-priced hogs.

PROPOSE POLICE BODY
AS BORDER SOLUTION

New London. Conn, Sept 15.-Sug
gestions as to what methods shall be
employed to establish peace on the
Mexican border were submitted to Ma.
jor General Tasker II. Bliss, Il. S. A,
by the American members of the Amer
lean NJ exican joint commission. The
officers opinions were sought on sub.
lects ranging from the withdrawal OF
American troops from Mexico to the
possibility of creating an international
police to guard the border.
In their conference with General
Bliss the American commissioners
took under consideration the advisa.
bilty of proposing such a system OF
border patrol that a part of the Mexi.
can troops now engaged in this duty
would be released for the pursuit OF
bandits at a distance from the line.

DENY NEW TREATY is
MENACE TO AMERICA

Washington. Sept. Japan and
Russia have given the United States
formal assurances that the new Rus
so-Japanese treaty does not repeal or
affect the treaties Of 1907 and 1910, in
which those nations pledged them
selves to maintain the integrity of
China and the open door policy.
The assurances were given to Am
bassadors Guthrie at Toxic and Fran
els at Petrograd in response to in
cuiries. The state department re-
ceived from Mr. Guthrie note on the
subject addressed 10 him by the Japa-
nese foreign office, stating in un-
equivocal terms that Japan had not
for a moment entertained an intention
of departing from these policies.
Department officials let it be known
the statements were entirely satisfac-
tory and that inquiries regarding the
new treaty, over which they had been
considerably perturbed probably
would not be pressed further
