TROOPS MUST co
Or First Chief Carranza VIII
Not Negotiate.

First Chief Carranza is unwilling to ne
gotiate any of the questions between the
United States and Mexico. pending the
withdrawal of the American Expedition
airy Force now in Mexico under the COM
mand of Mai Gen. Pershing.
This. apparently. is the objection raised
by the First Chief to signing a protocol
Divested of its conciliatory verbIage the
answer of Mr.. Carranza to the demand
Of the American commissioners for mis-
signature to the document is just this.
In his note he directs the attention
Of this government TO the fact that the
Consitutionalist government never con-
sented to the crossing of the border by
American troops. His government is
unable therefore TO make the withdra wal
of the American column a condition
precedent to the formulation OF a treaty.
The First Chief suggests TO the Ameri-
can government that all questions now
in dispute shall be held in allegiance pend
ing the withdrawal of the American
forces following which he will be very
glad to arrange for a joint commission
to set Alright the entire international sit
uation in which the two salient matters
OF Importance are the protection Of for
eiSneTs from death or despoilment and
the protection of the international bound
airy line from maraUding bands OF MeNi-
can outlaws.
How Mr.. Carranza's latest suggestion is
viewed by the administration is prob
lematical 1t is expressed in some quar-
ters that President Wilson and his ad-
vise-s may be willing to tolerate. further
negotiations in the hope of ayerting a
return to the status of affairs.
The views of the American commission
ers are supposed to be quite firmly fixed.

recently graduated from Columbia Uni

The young men have just declined an

made upon ocean tonnage and having
learned of the tremendous prices paid for

oeauteous ladies did stunts on horseback,
while the smart folk, who were not par
ucipating. occupied boxes circling the
pennant-decked ring and INDUCED in pea
nuts and pink lemonade.
The hilarious feature of the evening
was the farce in pantomime. entitled

thrown to the lions, whom she immedi-
ately slays with a few drops from her

which. in this instance, was of the an

the large black letters "Edgewood." The
