RURALES OFFERED
 AS A MEANS
Suggestion Made During Confer ence That Mexico Create Strong Rurale Police for Bor- der-MeXico Responsible.

New London, Sept. 15.-A sugges- tion that the Mexican government create constabulary for border duty similar to the rurales of the Diaz regime was made today during a brief session of the American Mexican joint commission, concluding the sec ond week of it's deliberations. Appar- ently the plan for joint police force was abandoned as impracticable after the commissioners conferred with Gen. Taskar H. Bliss.
 The three Mexican commissioners left for New York to join in the cele- bration there of the Mexican national holiday. Dr. John R. Mott of the American commission, is absent on personal business, but his assistants, Secretary Lane and Judge Gray, are devoting their time to a study of tele- graphic reports from the border and the interior of Mexico
 General Bliss it was learned made a statement of the situation he believed would follow General Pershing's with drawal from Mexico before a properly constituted constabulary Is created to relieve his troops It is understood he pointed out publems in the way of an effort to create border police under dual authority.
 There is reason to believe the Amer ican commissioners have sought to impress their conferees with the view Mexico must recognize responsibility for the depredations of her nationals along the border if good relations are to remain unimpaired
 It is believed the suggestion that the Carranza government undertak. this task as an international obliga- ton came from the Mexican commis- sioners. The theory is that a force of carefully selected mounted police could be disposed in small posts in tn, hill country.

SWEDISH NEUTRALITY
 SUBJECT OF PROTEST
French Say That Attitude of Sweden About Commercial Submarines is Not in Accord With Strict Neutrality.

Paris, Sept. 15.-The French gov ernment has instructed the minister at Stockholm to join with the other entente ministers in presenting a friendly but firm note to Sweden in regard to its policy of neutrality.
 The note takes issue with the posi- ton of Sweden in distinguishing be tween submarines for war and those for commerce, which the French gov ernment affirms has "an effect con- trary to neutrality, since the Swedish naval forces would hesitate to attack a German submarine in Swedish wat CTS under the pretext that it might be commercial submarine, whereas there would be no similar hesitation in dealing with a submarine of the allies, because they have no conner cial submarines"
 The note deals with a number of questions relative to navigation, and concludes:
 "The attitude adopted by the Swed- ish government is at variance in ob- vious respects with an attitude which is compatible with the duties of q loyal and impartial enutral"

OFFICIALS UNCERTAIN
 ON NEW ACT
Have No Information Concern ing the Commodities Affected By New British Order-May Cause Dispute.

Washington, Sept. 15.-In the ab- sence of information dealing with what commodities are affected by the new British repressions on American trade with Holland, reported today, officials here are uncertain just how heavily American exporters will sui fer. Steps to secure this information already has been taken tonight, and 1t was indicated that should any sweeping extension of measures be revealed it would be regarded as a serious element in the controversy over the allied blockade
 Todays news dispatches were called to the attention of the British em bassy by state department officials, with inquiries as to the scope and purpose of the proposal. Officials ex- pressed much concern that the new order would completely cut off trade with Holland and seriously cripple that with the Scandinavian countries
 Later adyices saying that only cer- tain unnamed commodities would be affected led officials to hope that mo far-reaching restriction had been at tempted.

KEY TO CAPITAL OF ROUMANIA
IN TEUToNIC HANDS.
Most Serious Blow Suffered by King
Ferdinand Since He En-
tered War.

London, Nov. 23.-Craiova, vital
nerve of the strategic railway net OF
western Roumania, fell to the army OF
General Won Falkenhayn at noon Tues
day. It's loss is the most serious blow
suffered by King Ferdinand's army
since Roumania's Intervention on the
allies side.
(Craiova is city Of $4,000, known
as the capital of western Wallachia.
1t has been predicted that with the
fall of Craiova the Roumanian army
would be placed in serious position.)
At Craiova the Teutons stand 40
miles due west Of Bucharest. In con-
troll of four of the most important
rails of communication their headlong
advance toward the heart of the king
dom continues swifter than ever. That
advance holds menace of striking the
greatest strategic blow of the war.
1t threatens the bulk of the Roumanian
army still battling south of the Tran
slyvanian Alps and particularly the
forces around Orsova, near the ''iron
gate" with being completely cut off
from all avenues of escape.

ADMITS WILSON WON

LATEs THE PRESIDENT ON
HIS VICTORY.
AWAITED THE OFFICIAL COUNT
Declares the Closeness of the Vote In
California Caused Him to Delay Act
ing Before-Wishes Executive Sue
cessfuI Administration.

Lakewood, N. J., Nov. 24.-Charles
e. Hughes, Republican candidate fol
president in the recent election, or
Wednesday night sent to President
Wilson telegram congratulating him
upon his reelection. In his telegram
Mr.. Hughes said: Because Of the
closeness of the vote I had awaited
the official count in California, and
now that 1t virtually has been COM
@lpleted permit me to extend to you my
congratulations upon your. reelection.
II desire also to express my best wishes
for successful administration"
Washington, Nov. 24-Woodrow
Wilson has been acknowledged as vic
tor by Charles Evans Hughes.
The belated congratulations have
been sent. From Lakewood, N. j., Mr..
Hughes sent telegram of felicitation
to President Wilson at the White
House.
From William r. Wilcox, Repub-
lican national chairman, came word
that all hope had been abandoned in
California.
The Hughes message writes "hnale"
to the election results.
There was touch of the dramatic
about the Hughes congratulations
they followed series of quite extra
ordinary dispatches from California.
Chief of them was an avowal that
the certificates of electors from the
great coast state would be held up
by Secretary of State Frank @. Jor-
dan until certain mistakes might be
corrected.
Chester FL. Rowell, Republican state
chairman, said the Jordan proposition
was "too ridiculous to discuss"
A dispatch from San Francisco said
that statistics gathered by Republicans
and completed at noon showed that the
lowest Democratic elector in California
was 1912 votes ahead of the highest
Republican, making the electoral dele
cation solid for Mr.. Wilson.
In New York National Chairman
Wilcox got in touch with the Califor-
MIA leaders and learned from them
that with the official count virtually
completed there were no indications
that the result of the election would
be affected. Mr.. Wilcox then con-
ferred with Mr.. Hughes, and the latter
sent his message.
Chairman Wilcox said:
Having conferred by telephone
with the Republican state committee
and the Republican national commit
teemen in California, have been in
formed that the official canvass of
the vote has been so nearly completed |
that no change can result from the |
few precincts not counted in the re-
turns.
"This means that the majority for
the Wilson electors in California
ranges from about 1000 to $500 votes
and that this is the final result, for
which we have been waiting. So far
as any recount is concerned, the ma
tional committee is not advised that
there are sufficient grounds which
would call for such an application"
The Republican national committee,
1t was announced, had not less than
fifty lawyers watching the official
count and tabulation of the vote.

The
Destroying
Angel
By LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE

"Sit tight, look sharp,
and be ready for any,
thing" is the very good
advice the Philadelphia
Press offers to readers of
this capital story, which
will appear serially in this
paper. 1t is replete with
a series of lively adven-
lures. The opening situa-
ton is bound to arouse
the keenest interest in the
outcome and in it's de-
velopment the author has
given his agile magma
ton free rein. At every
turn the unexpected hap
pens and it happens with
such rapidity that there
isn't a moment to spare
for speculation.
Doctors have been known to err in
their diagnoses of disease but Hugh
Whitaker believes them when they
declare he has but six months
more to live. And since his own
life is of such small consequence.
he finds an opportunity to help
girl in her hour of need, saving
her from disgrace she would other
wise have to suffer. Then he goes
off to the South Seas to die, but
instead is cured, and wins wealth
as we'll.
When he returns to New York his
legal wife has done the unexpected
also. From this point on the &C
ton continues at rapid pace. one
exciting incident following another.
