BERLIN, September %, by wireless to
Sayville.-The German and Dutch gov
ernments have come to an agreement
to submit to an international committee
of investigation after the end of the

ing of the Dutch steamship Tubantia.
This decision" says the Overseas

borly relations"
The Tubantia was sunk off the Dutch
coast March Is last as the result OF
an explosion. controversy arose be-
tween the German and Dutch govern
ments over the responsibility for the
disaster, the Dutch claiming that the
Tubantia had been torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine, producing a fragment
OF bronze found on the liner which the
Dutch ministry of marine believed to
be part of a German torpedo.
Germany admitted the German origin
of the torpedo. but asserted that the
commander of the submarine from
which the torpedo came said it was not
fred at the Tubantia March IL, but at
a British warship March s, and that 1t
missed it's target.

Mexico is not populated. as SO many
suppose. by a mixed Spanish Indian
race. in which the Iberian element
predominates. There are about a
couple OF million people of mixed de-
scent, another million of pure Euro

thirteen millions, are practically pure

of Indians in Mexico. recognized as
quite distinct, and divided by ethnoIo-
gists into sixteen language groups

SCAND|NAWANS AGREE
TOSTAY FIRMLY NEUTRAL
Norway, Sweden and Denmark Will
Not Initiate Mediation in
Present Struggle.

LONDON, September 23-The Chris
tiania conference of representatives of
the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish
governments has resulted in a further
development of the plan for co-opera-
ton during the war in matters affect
ing the foreign affairs of the three ma
tions. Through the Danish foreign Office
last night there was issued a state
ment setting forth what was accom-
plished at the. conference. This state
ment, which is said to have been re-
ceived with satisfaction by all political
parties, is said in an Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Copenhagen to
be in effect as follows:
THE three countries are unanimous
for ma intenance of loyal and impartial
neutrality during the present war The
blows aimed at the rights and interests
of neutrals by belligerent powers as
well as the differences in the sphere Of
commercial policy which have ensued
therefrom for neutrals, formed the sub
ject of a searching investigation which
resulted in AN accord for bringing
about wider collaboration among the
three countries.
