New London, Connecticut:-Exten
sive financial aid for Mexico will
be one of the vital problems of the
American-Mexican commission. Every
effort will be made to avoid any
thing that suggests benevolence. But
If there are assurances of lasting
stable conditions below the Rio
Grande then the American govern
ment will lend its moral support to
the flotation Of a big Mexican loan in
this country.
This was learned reliably as the
American and the Mexican commits
sioners recessed" in their confer
ences until today.
There were no joint sessions yes

delved into data on border subjects
and the American commissioners
planned an informal session on ques-
tions presented. The American COM
missioners are optimistic over the
outcome of the conferences.
The commissioners sent to Presi-
dent Wilson and to Gen. Carranza the
following message:
1.-THE American and Mexican Joint
commission, in addressing itself to
the task assigned to it, desires to
send to your eXcellency most cordial
greetings and to express the hope
that its labors will be productive Of
results satisfactory to both coun-

"The Saxons used to have a chap

HARD TERMS FOR GERMANS
ALLIES SET FORTH LIST OF DE-
MANDS.
Many Desire to See Empire Abso-
lutely Crushed, But NeutraIs
May Decide.

Warrington, ID. C.-The allies
are discussing among themselves
more drastic terms than ever before
limited. Here are some of the de-
mands likely to be made on Ger
many:
The ceding to England of Helgo-
land.
Naturalization of the Kiel Canal.
Demolition of some Of the strong
est Notifications on the German Dor
ders.
This list of demands was obtained
by a correspondent from an official
in close touch with allied sentiment
both in this country and in England.
There are many officials among the
allied nations whose desire to see
Germany absolutely crushed" leads
them to propose even harsher terms
than those listed. Neutral nations,
however, may have the final word to
say on the matter. In order to break
down the power of centralized Ger
many, it is said these men are In ia
vor of offering lenient peace terms
to adjoining states willing to sever
their political connections with the
empire.
The main concern of the allies is
not how long the war will last, but
how thoroughly Germany can be con-
quered, the informant said.
Helgoland, the great German naval
base in the North Sea was purchased
by Germany from England some
years ago when the latter thought
it was worthless. Germany has made
it almost an impregnable fortress.

u, S. EMPLOYE PENSION
MEASURE is OPPOSED
Friends Fear McGillicuddy Bill Will
Lose Effect Through
Amendments.

Opposition to the McGillicuddy bill,
which was framed to grant compensa-
tions and pensions to federal employees
injured in the line of duty. has arisen
in the judiciary committee Of the House,
and friends Of the measure fear 1t Will
be amended beyond the point OF ef-
fectiyeness If firm stand is not taken
for a favorable report at once. The
measure has been twice reported to the
House in other Congresses, but owing
to the general policy of delaying all but
must" legislation the excuse Is being
given by the judiciary committee that
sufficient time has not been granted to
amend the McGillicuddy bill properly.
The bill was introduced December s,
1915, and at hearing January 20,
1916. it became evident there was op
position to the idea of granting pen
sions or compensations to men and
women in the federal service contract
ing diseases because of their occupa-
tions Friends of the measure believed
that IL this feature should be taken out
of the bill there would be no hesitancy
in the committee to report it to the
House Representative McGillicuddy
thereupon struck out occupat1onai dis
eases from the bill.
No progress has been made on the
bill since that time, which was In
March. 1t is understood from the COM
mittee members that further attempts
to amend the measure are being made.
One proposed change is to bar from
compensation entirely any employe
who contributes in the most minute de-
gree toward any accident that disables
him Another amendment, designed to
choke off the compensation feature en-
tirely. would allow no pension until the
workman injured had gone through the
courts.

GOES TO THE SENATE.
House Passes Rivers and Harbors
Bill Carrying $40,O00,000

The rivers and harbors appropriation
bill, carrying s4o,ooo,oo0. passed by the
House late yesterday by vote Of 210 to
1873, went to the Senate today, where it
is expected to meet with opposition. Last
years bill met death by filibuster in the
Senate, and a lump sum was substituted
to take care of existing projects.
AS finally approved by the House. the
bill with all it's items as reported from
committee was unchanged. Unsuccessful
efforts were made to reduce various items
and to cut the total appropriation In half.
All of the appropriation. except 100000
for deepening the approaches to the
Brooklyn navy yard. recommended by
the administration as part of the pre-
paredness program, is for continuing ex-
listing projects.
The bill carries $4,000 for improve
ment OF the Potomac river within the
District Of Columbia. It contains nothing
for the Anacostia river Improvement, and
the work to be done there probably will
be provided for in another bill.
