American-Mexican Commits
sioners Summon Gen. Bliss
to Give Expert Advice.
PROPOSE TO CONSIDER
BIGGER ISSUES LATER
Joint Sittings at New London Will
Be Resumed Tomorrow and
Continue Daily.

NEW LONDON. Conn, September ..
American members of the joint com
mission considering relations between
the United States and Mexico are find
ing some difficulty in devising a salts
factory plan to insure peace along the
international boundary. The full COM
mission was not in session tonight, but
Secretary Lane and Judge Gray Of the
American commission, after an all-day
struggle with the various plans that
have been suggested for policing the
border, decided to summon expert mill
tary Judgment to their assistance
For that purpose they asked that
Mai Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, assistant
chief of staff Of the army, be sent to
New London to confer with them He
is expected to arrive Monday, when the
full commission resumes its sittings.
Gen. Bliss recently completed an in
spection tour of National Guard camps
along the entire line and also spent
some time with Gen. Pershing's forces
in Mexico
The commission has not attempted
as yet to go beyond the immediate
problem Of the border. It is indicated
that comprehensive scheme is being
the line will be treated in the way best
suited to it's physical peculiarities. 1t
is In this connection that Gen. Bliss
opinion will be sought.
Wider Issues Coming Later.
The wider scope of the commission
sought by the Washington government
will be reached later
1t was stated authoritatively today
that the subject of possible loans to
the Carranza government had not been
mentioned by either commission and
that there was nothing to indi-
cate that such a project would come
up The Americans are trying, 1t was
said. to give helpful advice to the Mex
lean government in facing the internal
problems 1t has encountered. For the
present at least. the border situation
is the only one being considered with the
idea of bringing immediate, concrete
results.
The commissioners who remain here
over Sunday will do no work tomor-
row. 1t Is expected long sessions will
be held every day next week and that
a border plan will have been virtually
completed in that time, ready for sub
mission to the Washington and Mexico
City governments for ratification.

This is really very charming, graceful
and attractive skirt and an exceptionally
becoming one, for while it gives the FASH
ionable founced effect and breadth, it
also gives long lines at the front and at
the back. 1t may be shirred to form a
girdle or it may be cut off and joined to a
belt. In whichever way it is treated, it
makes an exceedingly good effect. The
frill at the upper edge is a new finish and
