Washington, December cit is be-
lieved here that Mr.. PAM Will cross
the border at Larado, perhaps tomor-
row, and make a Geographic report
from there. If he reports the ratifica-
ton of the protocol, the commission
will convene here Friday, and adjourn
until he can reach Washington.
Under instructions from the MEM
bers of the commission the attaches
OF both groups have spent much of
the time since the adjournment at
Atlantic City in drafting tentative pro-
grams for further discussion. Luis
Cabrera, chairman Of the Mexican
commission, in an interview credited
to him recently to the subjects to
be discussed after the ratification of
the protocol as of minor import
ance," but the program drafted by the
American commissioners includes a
list of subjects regarded by them as
OF great Importance.
The Americans, 1t is understood,
will insist upon the agreement to an
addenda to the protocol that will
serve as a guarantee that the Car
rama government will respect and
protect the rights of Americans and
other foreigners in Mexico. The Mex
leans probably will be asked to agree
to the amendment or annulment of all
DEGREES that provide for connscation
Of foreign owned property, and for
the readjustment of DEGREES providing
virtually prohibtory schedules of tax
alton on mines and other industries.
Pressure will be brought to bear to
secure the creation of an international
claims commission to pass upon all
claims filed since November 20, 1910,
the date of the beginning of the
Madero revolution.

CARRANZA WILL SIGN PROTOCOL

Mexico City, December 6-The gen.

tocol drafted by the Mexican and
American commissioners at Atlantic
City and having as its object a settle
ment of the point at issue between
Mexico and the United States will be
signed by General Carranza, IL he has
not already affixed his signature to It.
1t is thought there may be slight
changes in the wording of the docu-
ment, but that the main points Of IT
will be agreed to by General Carranza
Alberto J. PAM, one of the Mexican
commissioners, has been delayed here,
but is expected to reach Queretaro
tomorrow and will probably leave
there Immediately for the United

How This Little Orphan Boy Was

Towanda, Pa. 81 took a little or
phan boy to live with me and last
Christmas he contracted a hard cold
which developed into bronchitis. He
was very i'll and a bad cough set in
80 that he coughed night and day.
After trying everything, nothing SEEM
ed to do him any good, until along in
February got bottle of Vinol. After
using half the bottle his cough began
to improve, and two bottles entirely
cured his bronchitis and he gained in
weight so that he doesn't look like the
same child" Harry A. Stephenson,
Towanda, Pa.
The reason that cough syrups fail
in such cases is because they are
palliative only, while Vinol removes
the cause being a constitutional REM

pilates. 1t strengthens and revitalizes

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

nv local applications, as they cannot

irere is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an

this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when II is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the result, and unless the inflammation

to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out

PROPOSALS FOR 4 U. s. BATTLE.
SHIPS SUBMITTED

Washington, December 6 - -Four
American shipbuilders submitted pro-
posals to the Navy Department today
for the construction of the four gigan-
tic thirty FIVE knot battle cruisers au-
thorized as a part of the 1917 building
program. No estimates of cost were
included, all the bidders taking advan-
tage of a new provision of the naval
appropriation act and offering to build
the ships for cost plus from 10 to IL
per cent profit
The bidders we're the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company
the Union Iron Works of San Fran
else. the Fore River Shipbuilding eom'
pany of Quincy, Mass, and William
Cramp & Sons of Philadelphia. The
only other private builder in the coun'
try that might have sought one of the
contracts is the New York Shipbuild
ing Company, which notified the de-
partment that its ways already were
filed with other work.
Since no direct proposals under the
limitation of $16,50O,O0O for the cost
OF hull and machinery of each shiT
was received. department officials be-
gan at once an examination of the
most and percentage of offers with the
expectation of working out a uniform
agreement under which each bidder
will receive one of the ships. The
Newport News company and Cramps
fixed 10 per cent as the profit they de-
sired, while the other two companies
suggested 15 per cent, but were will
ing to leave II to the Federal Trade
commission to determine fair rate.
The Fore River company and the
Union works submitted proposals fol
geared turbine drive for the ships as
substitute for the turbo-electric pro-
ulsion desired by the department. II
was said there was no likelihood thai
these offers would be acceptable. al
department experts went into th'
question fully before deciding on tho
electric equipment.
The time fixed for delivery of The
ships ranged from forty-eight 10 fifty
months. and while some modification
may be secured from the bidders, II II
practically certain. that the first OF thu
huge vessels will not be ready within
-four years for trial to determine
upon the thirty-hve knot speed fo
which II IA designed. Il developed to
day that the exact tonnage for which
the departments plans call Is $4,000.
