WILSON ACCEPTS
MEXICAN PROPOSAL
AGREES TO SUBMIT SOLUTION
OF BORDER PROBLEMS TO
JOINT COMMISSION.
Through Exchange Of Ideas It Is
Hoped Way May be Found to Elk
tend Financial Aid to Merican
Government.

shington.-General Carranza has
been informed in a note handed to his
ambassador here that the Washington
government is prepared to submit TO
joint international commission the
task of seeking a solution of border
problems.
The proposal of the de facto gov
eminent for a commission is accept
ed, however, with the suggestion that
the powers of the commissioners be
enlarged beyond the limits proposed
in the Mexican note of July IL.
Agreement to this suggestion is ex-
pected and it was stated officially
that the American members would be
appointed and the compission be as
sembled at some point in the United
States at an early date.
General Carranzas answer is not
expected for several days and officials
here do not believe the commission
can begin sessions for two weeks al
least. The state department will in
sist that the meeting place be within
the United States, as the question is

quire neutral setting.
A proposal to widen the scope OF
subjects to be discussed by the COM
mission is viewed in administration
circles as an extremely important as
pect of the situation. 1t is through
an exchange of ideas on the Whole
Mexican problem that it is hoped a
way may be found to furnish construc-
tive aid to the de facto government In
the financial and economic problems
which surround it. 1t has been sug-
gested that American bankers might
be urged to go 70 the aid of the Mex
lean government under certain condi-
lions. Neither American nor Mexican
here have been willing to dis
cuss the policy, however, and 1t ap-
pears certain the administration has
10 present plan of that nature.

EXPLOSION CAUSES
LOSS OF MILLIONS
THREE KILLED, SCORES INJURED
AND SEVERAL SMALL TOWNS
ARE WIPED OUT.
Ammunition Awaiting Shipment to the
Allies and Stored on Island in New
York Bay Destroyed Either
Intentionally or by Accident.

New York.-Property loss estimated
at s25OOO,OOO was caused early Sun
day by a series of terrific explosions
of ammunition awaiting shipment to
the entente allies and stored on Black
Tom island, a small strip of land jut-
ting into New York bay off Jersey
City
Three are known to be dead and at
least five are missing. Scores of per-
sons were injured, some Of them prob
ably MORALLY.
The detonations, which were felt in
five states, began with a continuous
rapid fire of small shells, the blowing
up of great quantities of dynamite, tri-
nitrotoluol and other high explosives,
followed by the bursting of thousands
of shrapnel shells, which literally
showered the surrounding country and
water for many miles around
Fire that started soon after the first
great crash, which spread death and
desolation in its wake, destroyed thir-
teen of the huge warehouses of the
National Storage company on Black
Tom island, in which was stored mer-
chandise valued between $12,000,000
and $15,OOO,OOO.
The cause of the disaster had not
been determined. Officials of the Ma
tional Storage company and the Lee
high Valley railroad, which also suf-
fered heavily through loss of property,
declared, however, that reports to
them showed a fire started shortly
after 1 o'clock Sunday morning on
barge belonging to an Independent
towing company that had been moored
alongside a dock used by the railroad
company to transfer ammunition ship
ments from trains to vessels in the
harbor. sssssAssN
The barge, it was said, was there
without authority of either the rail
road or the storage company.
Edmund L. Mackenzie, president Of
the National Storage company, de-
clared that the plant of his concern
was valued at $700O,000, while the
contents of the warehouses probably
were worth $10,000,000.
Several officials and employees of
the storage company have been ar
rested, accused of having illegally per-
mitted explosives to be stored where |
human life was endangered.
Every window in the pedestal of the |
Statue of Liberty, on Bedloes island, |
opposite Black Tom, was broken, and |
the main door, made of iron and |
almost ton, was blown off |
is hinges. The statue itself, however,
was not damaged, except from the
ain of shrapnel which despatched 1t.

 The earl laid the chief blame for the failure to achieve full results at which he aimed to the easy exemptions ci single men, belonging especially tc the starred trades-men required t work on necessities required by the government-and agriculturists. He made an emphatic plea to the govern ment to prevent bachelors of military age from evading military service by transferring themselves to specialized occupations and declared that 2 strong effort was necessary to obtain requisite number of fighting men, without whom the empire might fal,

MUCH SOUGHT GERMAN SHIP RE. TURNS TO PORT WITH 1es
 PRISONERS.
SHE CAPTURED IS VESSELS
Ship Is Loaded With Gold Bars Part of Which Was Taken From the Ap- pam Which Put in at Newport
 News Several Weeks Ago.

Berlin.-The German commerce raider Moewe has returned to Ger man port with 199 prisoners and l.. 000,000 marks in gold bars, according to an official announcement by the naval general staff. The statement follows:
 The naval general staff states that H. M. s. Moewe, Commander Capt. Burgrave. Count Won Dohna-Schlodien, after successful cruise lasting sev- eral months arrived at some home port with four British officers, 29 British marines and sailors, 166 men of crews of enemy steamers, among them 103 Indians, as prisoners. and 100000 marks in gold bars.
 The vessel captured the following enemy steamers, the greater part of which were sunk and a small part of which were sent as prizes to neutral ports:
 'The British steamers Corbridge, 3.6S7 tons; Author. 3,496 tons; Trader, 3,60S tons; Ariadne. 3,035 tons; Dro- monby. 3.627 tons; Farringford, 3,146 tons; Clan Mactavish, 5,S16 tons; Ap- pam. 7,7S1 tons; Westbrun, $500 tons: Horace, 3,335 tons; Flamenco, 4.62s tons; Saxon Prince, 3.471 tons.
 ''The British sailing vessel Edin. burgh. 1.473 tons.
 The French steamer Maroni, 3,4o9 tons.
 "The Belgian steamer Luxembourg, 4,322 tons.
 At several points on enemy coast the Moewe also laid out mines to which, among others, the battleship King Edward VII. fell victims"
 The Woewe's capture of two of the Is vessels listed by the German ad. miralty has not been reported prev iously. They are the Saxon Prince and the Maroni, both engaged in the transatlantic service.
 The Saxon Prince, 3,471 tons gross, 352 feet long and owned by the Prince Line of Newcastle England. was built fin Sunderland in 1899 She was last reported on sailing from Norfolk, Feb ruary 12, from Manchester. The Maroni sailed on February 19 from Bordeaux for New York. She was owned by the Compagnie Generale Trans-Atlantique of Havre, and was 312 feet long and of 3,109 tons gross.
 The Moewe, previously made fla nous by her exploits, has performed one of the most spectacular feats of the war on the seas by reaching a home port in safety. The great Ger man naval port of Wilhelmshaven Is on the North Sea, which is patrolled with ceasless vigilance by British warships. It is through these waters, which have been blocked of in dis tricts for patrol by the different Brit. ish units. that the Moewe must have threaded her way.
 At least part of the gold captured by the Moewe was taken from the Appam, which put in at Newport News several weeks ago under com mand of Lieut.. Berg with a German prize crew.
