REPLY TO MEXICO
NEXT TUESDAY
American Commissioners Will Meet to
Consider Answer. to Carranza Re-
fusai to Sign Protocol-less Insist
ent on Troop Withdrawal.

Washington, Dec. 29.-General Car
ranza's latest communication asking
modification of the protocol covering
withdrawal of American troops from
MEXICO, was examined closely today
by Secretary Lane, chairman of the
American members of the joint COM
mission, who has summoned his col
leagues to confer with him here as
soon as possible. They will decide
what answer to give the Mexican rep
resentatives.
Altho the document has not been
made public, it was said General Car
ranza'S insistence on the unconditional
retirement of the American forces is
not so strong as formerly, chiefly be-
cause of the new military situation in
northern Mexico. Neither does he
fatty repudiate the protocol already
signed by his representatives at At
lantic City. e#
What answer will be- returned to
General Carranza's latest appeal for
notifications in the protocol signed at
Atlantic City will be determined here
Tuesday. On that day the American
members of the joint commission will
meet and consider the Carranza reply,
delivered yesterday by Luis Cabrera.
The Mexcans probably will be here
on that day and in the event. the
Americans. decide that CarranZa's s
reply can be given consideration an

New War Regulations Place Men Be-
tween IS and as on List.
Washington. Dec, 29.--Evcry able
bodied male citizen OF the United
States between the ages of s and i5
years is held liable for service in the
national guard in war time, withouI
further act OF congress, by war depart
ment regulations for the government OF
the guard issued under the national
defense act
In a circular prepared nearly two
months ago but made public only
Thursday, the militia bureau directs
that where Il national guard regiment
is called out for service. a reserve
training battalion to fill. vacancies at
the front shall be organized out of the
national guard reserve and by volun-
tary enlistment.
"If for any reason" the order con-
tinues, there shall not be enough re-
scrvists or enough voluntary enlist
ments to organize or keep the reserve
battalion at prescribed strength. a suf-
flcient number of the unorganized
militia shall be drafted by the prcsi-
dent to maintain such battalion or les
ser unit at the prescribed strength"
The national guard regulations
which will be amplified in great detail
later also strike at the problem Of de-
pendent families of soldiers which has
cost the government several millions
Of dollars already thru the border
mobilization. Recruiting officers for
the national guard are directed to dis
courage the enlistment of married men
or those with others dependent upon
them. Such persons are to be accepted
only for reasons in the public inter
est. men who wish to become officers
being the only class specifically ex-
cepted.
The reserve is to remain an unor-
ganized boy in peace times except for
temporary purposes. 1t will be COM
posed of men who have served three
years in active organizations and
whose enlistment contracts will rcqnire
them to serve three more in the re-
serve unless they prefer active service
They will hold the same rank in the
reserve that they held at the time of
furloughs from active service except
that when drafted into the federal
service they will report in the grade Of

Panama. Dec. 4.-The slides in Gail
lard cut which have been menacing
navigation have been overcome. Today
the channel Is in better shape than it
has ever been before. For a minimum
width Of $50 feet it is thirty-five feet
deep, and it is at least thirty feet deep
clear across the original prism, 800
feet wide. The slides at Cucaracha
and Culebra which have bulged for
ward as If to smother the waterwa!
under their mass have been dredged
away until they look fat and impotent
Barring some unforeseen development,
such as new break in wholly unex-
pected place or the crumbling Of the
great cliffs Of brecca at Gold Hill or
Contractors Hill, the Interruptions Of
traffic by the slides are done.
The engiIeers,AIil charge will not
commit themselves to prophecy but
they say the Cut is in the best shape it
was ever in, and the fact that they
have taken away all but three Of the
dredges and cut out the Sunday and
holiday work Is q strong indication OF
their confidence in the situation. The
three dredges are carrying the excava-
ton back OF the original channel line
in order to establish a defensive zone to
prevent encroachments on the channel.
Much work is yet to be done to COM
plete the channel to its full width Of
800 feet with a bottom forty feet above
sea level, giving a depth OF forty five
feet, but it is already possible now to
give passage to the biggest ships on
the seas without any trouble

French Socialists Loyal.

. Paris, Dec. 29.-A resolution has been
adopted by the socialist congress call
ing on the government to pursue
more vigorous policy both in military
and economic action so that the full
resources of the country may be
brought into play and the war terml-
mated more speedily. "
The resolution is predicated on the
assertion that the replies Of the central
powers to President Wilson's note leave
no doubt that the offer Of peace nego-
tiations was a snare. ... ~. .
Deputies who met German and 9TH
er foreign socialist delegates at tho
conference in Switzerland supported q
motion in favor Of resumption OF in
ternational relations among socialists.
The proposal was defeated by small
majority.
