 LAST LU5|TAN|A NOTE PUBLIC

that, having signified its willingness to make reparation, the United States must make the next move toward se- curing it.
 The communication, when submitted by Count won BernstOrff, was regarded as being tentative, and the United states refrained from accepting 1t. be- cause of the declaration, by the cen tral powers Of their intention to treat as warships. armed merchant ships of the entente allies. During the discus sion of this declaration and the nego-
 tiations over the attacks upon the channel steamer Sussex and other ves-
 sells carrying American citizens, the
 communication, which stands as Ger
 many's formal reply to the last Ameri-
 can Lusitania note. has lain in the
 state department, unacted upon. Having secured further assurances 1 regarding the conduct of submarine warfare at the time of the negotiations over the Sussex disaster, the state de- ] paTtment decided to await develop mcnts, principally with the idea of de- | tennining how Germany's assurances would be observed
 l It has been indicated by officials of 1 the department recently. that 1t appar ently being evident that Germany was ! living up to her promises, the Lusi- l tania note the wording of which oc- l cupied much of the time of Secretary Lansing and Count von Bernstorff over i a period of many weeks, should be pub- lished. The Berlin foreign office of i fered no objection.

 WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-Public of iicials tonight refuse to announce the name of the third man chosen by
 tresldent Wilson to serve with Sec ret1rv Franklin K Lane of the inter- for department and Associate Justice Louis D. Brandeis of the supreme court on the joint commission which
 will strive for a settlement ol norue.
 disputes between the United States
 and the de facto govrnment of Mex
 leo. Until the third commissioner has
 accepted. formal announcement of the
 American perSonal of the commission
 will be withheld.
 Under the agreement reached at
 preliminary conferences the commis-
 sion will have power to deal with any
 uoiect related to the border difficul-
 ties which brought the two countries
 to the verge of h1stilities. No ques-
 ton touching the soveignty of Mexico
 will be taken up, however, and it will
 be left to the commissioners them
 selves to determine whether they can
 dO more than offer a plan of action covering the security of the border Decisions of the comTnis sion will be in no wise binding upon either gov l ernment until they have been ratified by both President Wilson and Gen eral Carranza. Withdrawal of Amer ican troops, coupled with the fram- ing of protocol to cover future mili- tary expeditions will be the first su5- ! 1ect discussed, to be followed by an l investigation of the underlying inter- | ests behind border raids and then hv I whatever other deliberations the com ] missions find themselves ready to un- 1 dertake.
 It is regarded as probable that the | commission may tour the border and i interview military and civil authori- i ties on both sides of the line before 1 it can complete its task.
 Among the matters Secretary Lan- , sing has before him is that of de- terInining when Henry p. Fletcher, 1 ambassador designate to Mexico, shall | ha sent forward to his post. MT l Fletcher has mad a part in the nego- 1 tiations between MT. Polk and Mr | AIreGondo. It is known that officials are considerating the advisa bality ot ! his taking up his duties at an early | date in order to cement good relations with the de facto government.
 Mir Arredondo issued a statement i today saying that Ramon Soils. one | of the bandits implicated in tls | massacre of American mining men al ! santa Ysabel, has been captured neaI ! Minaca, tried condemned and sen- tenced to death. Soils is said to have | confessed his part of the massacre ! The ambassador also made rublic re. ports from his government sayinl l that Zapata and Villa followers fir several parts of Mexico had surren-
 dered to Carranza authorities.

 WASHINGTON. Aug. D. Congress carried national defense legislation an other step forward today by finally perfecting the army bill Only per lection of the navy bill now remains for completion of the program behind which President Wilson has put the. whole force of the administration to defeat attempts at reduction.
 The final passage was not without evidences of disagreement within the democratic ranks. Democratic Leader Kitchin and Representative Dies of Texas, the latter one of the pacifist group, announced that if there were a. roll call thev would vote against the bill as finally framed. But there was no roll call, and the bill went through ready for President Wilson's signature without a record vote Tuesday the naval bill will be called up and the house will be asked to agree to the senate amendments, principally among which are the big building program. President Wilson has told the house l leaders he considers adoption of the big program essential and the admin l istration expects it to go through.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-The United States has asked for and received per mission from Germany. to publish. as a formal document. the last note in the Lusitania case, which was submitted by Count vOn Bernstorff, nearly six months ago The state departments intention 10 publish the communicat ton IS believed to indicate it's acceptance.
 Acting Secretary Polk declined to- day to discuss the plans of the United States in regard to the Lusitania case, or to disclose when the document would be given out.
 The communication, dated February lb last, deals only w1th the principles involved. It does not mention the amount of indemnity Germany is to pay or how or when the amount will be agreed upon. It simply recognizes liability promises to make reparation by the payment of indemnity, gives as- surances for the future, and declares that reprisals. such as ruthless subma- rine operations, must not be directed at other than enemy subjects.
 Until now, there has been absolutely no official discussion in regard to the question of indemnity. The German government is represented as feeling

 Two tugs which patrolled the harbor entrance were reported to have been chartered by men apparently expect ing the Bremen, and persons who claimed to be in touch with these men said the submarine would arrive here mot tonight, but within three or four days"

Royal Baking Powder is made from

Other baking powders contain alum or
