Gen. Carranza's Reply to Last
Note Accepts Suggestion
For Joint Body
NOT TRANSLATED YET
Wants Original Subjects Dis

and ProtocaI
By Associated Press

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 4.-Gen-
eral Carranza' s reply to the last Ameri-
can note accepting its suggestion for
| a joint commission to adjust border
differences, but proposing a broader
scope for the commissions work, was
deliN cred to the State Department to-
day by Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican
ambassadors designate. 1t announces
the appointment of three Mexican
commissioners with instructions to de-
vote, their attention preferably to the
resolution of the points mentioned in
the previous note.
Thus the de facto government ap-
parently rejects the proposal that the
commission consider other questions
than the military situation and limits
its discussions to the subjects origi-
nally suggested by Carranza-with-
draWal of American troops from Mex
leo, formulation of a protocol to cover
future operations against bandits and
investigation of interests which may
have promoted border raids. Whether
this will be satisfactory to the United
states government has not been indi-
Gated. The note was in Spanish and
When he went to to-day's Cabinet
meeting Acting Secretary Polk de-
cllned TO discuss it until an official
translation could be made.

De negotiations between Mr.. Polk and
Mr.. Arredondo to fix the time and
place for meetings of the commission

under consideration a score of names
suggested for the American member

Hope for an early solution of pend
ing difficulties was confidently eX-
pressed by Mr.. Arredondo after leav-
ing the department. He said he ex-
pected to reach an agreement with
Mr.. Polk by tomorrow as to the date
and place of meeting and that there
upon he would wire the Mexican COM
missioners with the expectation that
they would be here in at least ten days.
