NEW YORK August 12.-Despite

tho plague of infantile paralysis grew
stronger to-day. The department of
health reported 1G7 new cases. against
l65 for Friday. There were forty
two deaths, as against thirty-one the
day before.

combat of the surgeons is unhagging.
bur there is growing fear that the
disease will have 10 run its course

it. AS the surgeons are still in a
fog regarding the cause and the
genesis Of the malady. they are at a
loss to explain the daily fluctuations
of the figures. And they are still
cropping for n standard cure and a
standard weapon with which to fight
the advance.
One thing alone is certain: slowly
but surely. ii is gathering force and
telling victims. The figures show that
since August ii has overtaken
greater number of persons than in all
the plague weeks preceding. Like
wise. the deaths have been more
numerous. Total figures for August
are: deaths. 254: cases. esS. Total
figures for the epidemic: deaths. 1871;
cases. 6.1i0.

Westerly Howe. consular agent Of

was no truth in the reports that the
Amiral Aube had received any wireless

been sunk and an investigation to-
night revealed that the report was
merely street rumor which was at

REPORT IS DIsCREDITED

NORFOLK, August l2-Marine oh.

British patrol-boat had sunk the Ger.

These observers also pointed to the
fact that the Deutschland could sub.

warship to attack her. They also con-
tend that an allied warship could not
have followed the submarine for any
length OF time at night without the

light would have disclosed the war

crew and enabled her to escape
Nothing has been heard here from
the Deutschland since she was last seen

That she eluded the enemy patrol

some allied warships were seen off the
coast the next day. Observers say that

to search for the submersible when
they learned she had successfully

PRESIDENT MAY SEEK
Personal CONFERENCES

WASHINGTON. August 12-Per-
sonal conferences will be sought by
President Wilson with representatives
of the railroads and their employees
if all other efforts fail to avert the
threatened strike of the four great
railroad union brotherhoods. He is
seriously considering making a trip
to New York for the purpose.
The President talked over the long

bers of the Federal Board of Mediation

told tnem that if they were unable to
bring about an agreement and oreak

desires personally to urge upon the
parties to the controversy the dsa.i

Mr.. wilson remained In his ottiao at

on the merits of the arguments pre-

to believe that there must be some
common ground on which the employ

ed petition from representatives of
unorganized railroad employees, urg-
ing that Congress pass legislation
which would prevent the railroads be-
ing paralyzed by a strike Of the mem

DECREE OF CARRANZA
Is NOT RETROACTIVE

WASHINGTON. Angus, l2.-Notice
from Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico
CITY TO the State Department to-day
tina, the recent Carranza decree pro-
hibiting foreign stockholders in MeNi-
can corporations from claiming the
nrotection of their home governments
was not retroactive. served to relieve
in a measure the feeling of apprehen-
sion created here by earlier reports.
Mr.. Rodgers reported that the decree
was intended to apply to corporations
hereafter formed, and apparently II
will not affect the existing big Ameri-
can and other foreign oil and mining
compa MES. Department officials indi-
Gated however, that the United States
government is by no means prepared
to submit quietly to the crea tion of any
such precedent as is involved in the
new decree An attempt to enforce il
probably will be met by formida BILE
protests not only from the United
states, but from all the European
movers interested. 1t is known that
Carranza paved the way for the de-
cree by extensive negotiation with
nearly all the governments of South
and Central America, seeking support
for his position. Just what were the
tangible results has not developed, but
IL is we'll known that for many years
~public opinion in Ta tin America has in
clined strongly in favor of the old
Drago doctrine, which denies the right
of an alien to appeal to his own gov
ernment for the protection of his life
or property interests against the gov
ernment of the country where his pos
sessions are located.
In each of the several Pan-American
Congresses held since 1889, this doc
trine cropped out in one form or an
other and in eas,h 1t was only through
the energetic opposition of the United
states that 1t was forced to the back
ground. 1t was pointed out that an
attempt by the American republics to
employ such doctrine probably would
seriously strain the Monroe Doctrine.
The subject may,-come before the

No ORDERS TO MOVE
RECEIVED AT CAMP STUART

Neither Adjutant-General Sale nor
officers at headquarters in Camp Stuart
had received notice of the War De-

1t is thought probable that the com
mand to leave for Texas will he re-
ceived early to-day. Approximately
1000 men fully equipped, with the
exception OF necessary horses, ana are
recruited above peace strength In Camp
Stuart at present.
.idjutant- Sale has previously
stated the opinion, based on relia BILE
information. that in the event the cav
airy was sent TO the border horses
would be supplied there. instead OF
being issued in Richmond. From this
point OF view. all the organizations in
Camp Stuart which have been mus
tered IN to tho Federal service are
properly equipped. Only the Ports
mouth battery. OF the field artillery. is
deficient in equipment, and has not
been mustered in on account OF fail
ure TO have the minimum number Of
men
Although the Blues cavalry squad
ron was not included in the Presidents
call Of June Is II was called out few
days later, and II will probably be
ordered TO Texas along with the other
organizations in camp. The organiza-
tons in camp now which may be con-
sidered ready for service include the
field hospital company. the Signal Corps
company. the engineers company, one
squadron OF cavalry and one battalion
OF field artillery.

have been there about month and a
