the governments diamond expert, at
S25, 100000 gain over last year of

tually all such imports are entered here
where they can be appraised by experts.
Diamonds, as usual, predominated in
the years imports but greater num-

year ago, particularly medium grade
gems. Sapphires continued to be fav-
orites and emeralds were popular but
difficult to obtain. Rubies showed fall

May Favor Neutral Zone.

A belief prevailed among a number
of officials and congressman that the
answer of Carranza will not be bellie-

express an earnest desire for peace,
suggesting further consideration of the
question of the presence OF American
troops on American soil. opening the
way to taking up the proposition for
the establishment of neutral zone
which would, it's advocates claim, give
full protection to American people and
property, as 1t would keep bandits far
below the border and under the control
of troops that would have charge of
this zone.
Men close to President Wilson said
during the day that they believed
the neutral zone proposition the onIy

that If Carranza does not agree to
something Of this kind or propose it
the prospects of war are little better
