WILL CONFER ON
MAIL CENSORSHIP
Firms Which Suffer Delays
Want Some Plan of Ex-
pediting Deliveries

I Washington. September IA confer
And representatives of American firms
Which have suffered from the British
mail censorship is being arranged by the
embassy with a view to working out
some plan to expedite the handling OF
commercial mail through the censors' Of
flee. 1t is hoped system may be agreed
UPON similar to that now in operation
for expediting shipping papers, which are
placed in special pouches and rushed
Though with minimum delay.
The conference will be held soon in New
York with Sir Richard Crawford COM
mercal adviser of the embassy, as the
chief representative of the British gov
eminent. While any arrangement which
may be privately made is expected to
be satisfactory to the state department,
officials said the negotiations with Great
Britain regarding illegal mail interior
ences will not be accepted. The British
reply to the last American protest is ex-
pected here daily.
Neither the British embassy nor the
state department has yet received a
response to inquiries sent to London re-
garding the new British restrictions on
American commerce with Holland and
the Scandinavian countries. Embassy
officials believe versions of the new reg
ulations have greatly exaggerated their
scope.
Embassy officials said today that the
recent withdrawal of the assurance for
American and other exporters to sell
commodities to Holland and the Scan
dinavian countries is merely temporary,
and that such letters will again be grant
ed when surplus stocks in the neutral
countries affected are reduced.

Internal Troubles of
Mexico to Be Discussed

New London, Conn, September II
Both American and Mexican members OF
the joint commission studying the inter
national questions growing out of Mex
icos revolution were confident tonight
that material progress towards mutual
understanding would be made this week
but an early agreement upon pro-
gramme for the maintenance of order
along the border was considered improb-
able The session of the commission will
be resumed tomorrow.
An effort probably will be made by
the Americans to confine the discussions
early in the week to subjects relating to
MeXico's internal affairs and it is not
believed the Mexican representatives will
offer serious objection. To advise with
them on this subject and others touching
--u lne Status of Americans in Mexico,
it was said today, that the American
commissioners had requested thac Coun-
sellor Polk of the state department be
sent here.

democratic nominee for congressman in
the Tenth district by virtue of his vic
tory over Richmond Pearson Hobson,
would wage an active campaign in
seeking to be elected over N. H. Free
man, the republican choice, was con-
firmed yesterday by J. H. Bankhead, Jr.,
of Jasper. At the present time the dem
ocratic nominee is conducting personal
campaign and win later go before the
people and again ask their support.
THE democrats are making a de-
termined fight in the Tenth district"
said ]. II. Bankhead, Jr, yesterday.
THE fact that probate judges in three
counties of the newly formed Tenth are
republicans will serve to show that there
is reason to make campaign. OF
course the democrats do not anticipate
trouble in sending their choice to Con-
gress, but they are taking no chances.
In October, second appeal will be
made to the voters for their support
by general Campaign,
The Tenth and Seventh districts are
regarded by the democrats as the most
formidable opponents of democracy.

and cheaper than steamers each re-
curing particular specifications. The
ships parts will be standardized and
