Fitzhugh Green, the young American
naval officer who represented this
government on the Crocker Land
Arctic expedition, has just notified
the Navy Department of his safe ar
rival at Copenhagen. How many
reached safety with him is not yet
known. The American legation
will take immediate steps to assist
Mr.. Green and provide such other
means as practicable for others of the
Inflated expedition.
incidentally, ~the so-called Crocker
land which Peary believed he had dis
covered is not referred to as exist

officer went in the capacity of official
government representative 10 survey
this land and report as to whether it
actually could be found, his observa-
tions are taken as finally disposing
of this claim of Peary's.
Peary believed he saw the land
from high attitudes in northeast
Greenland, and it was on the strength
of this belief that the Crocker expe-
dition was formed in June, 1913.
1t now develops that Green declined
to give up the search for the exclu-
sive Crocker land. even when almost
insurmountable difficulties broke up
the party and threatened it with star
vation. He felt that he was under or
ders to find it if possible, and kept
up the perilous sledge journeys even
when conditions were most unfavor

Washington, Aug. 23.- President
Wilson and the leaders of the rail
road executives at a White House con
ference Tuesday night laid the founda-
ton for an agreement which 1t is be
lieved will result in a settlement OF
the wage controversy between the car
riers and their employees AS re-
suit of the conference general strike
of the 100000 train-operating en-
ployes of the 225 railroads of the
country is now regarded an extremely
remote possibility. The railroad chiefs,
having decided at a late afternoon
session, to make terms with the Pres
ident, as the champion of the unions,
are ready to yield the establishment
of the eight-hour day with the under
standing that the carriers shall be
granted an advance of freight rates
sufficient to offset the increase OF
wages granted the employees.
The executives also are ready to
accept the Presidents plan for COM
mission investigation of overtime
compensation, with the understanding
that legislation be enacted to promote
the settlement of future disputes by
arbitration instead of force
The President encouraged the Off
cials to believe that his influence will
be exerted to satisfy the carriers in
beth of these particulars. The propo-
sition now is to work out definite
understanding of the agreement.
A special committee of seven execu-
tives, headed by Hale Holden, presi-
dent of the Burlington, spent the
greater part of the day preparing a
tentative draft of the reply that will
be presented to Mr.. Wilson. They
were closeted in room in the New
Willard hotel throughout the after
noon. during which the temperature
rose to 109 in Pennsylvania avenue.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Negotiations
between President Wilson and the
railroad executives concerning set
tlement of the wage controversy
threatening to plunge the country into
a general strike were enlivened last
night by the receipt at the White
House of what is virtually an ultima
tum from the union leaders. Brother
hood Presidents Garretson, Lee, Car
ter and Stone sent word to Mr.. VIII
son that they must have the answer
of the railroads within the next forty
eight hours Unless a favorable re-
ply be forthcoming from the carriers
by Friday night, they said, ii will be
chairmen from precipitating the
strike. President Wilson had agreed
to allow the railway chiefs two or
three days longer" in which to pre-
pare their formal reply to his demands
for the establishment of the eight
hour day, and commission investi'
cation of overtime payment. The
union ultimatum was conveyed to
President Wilson informally and oral
iy by friendly intermediary and
reached the White House Just before
Hale Holden, president of the Burling
ton; r. S. Lovett, chairman of the
Union Pacific, and Daniel Willard.
president of the Baltimore & Ohio. ar
rived for another conference with Mr.
Wilson.
The three executives, who conferred
with the President on the question OF
working out an amicable agreement,
went back to learn what Mr.. Wilson
had to say regarding definite assur
ances that the railroads would be
given an advance in freight rates.
The President reiterated that he
would do everything possible to aid
the roads in this endeavor If such in.
crease in their revenues should be
found necessary to reimburse them
for the higher wages involved in the
change to the eight-hour day.
Mr.. Wilson informed the executives
that he had made arrangements with
the administration leaders in Congress
for the immediate passage of the bill
enlarging and reorganizing the Inter
state Commerce Commission as de-
sired by the railroads.

FuNsToN's RECOMMENDATION.
President Prepared to Recall Troops
Stationed AIonu the Border.

Washington. - A recommendation
from Maj Gen. Funston that the
American troops be withdrawn from
Mexico was contained in recent re-
pert on the military situation made at
the request of the War Department,
ard designed for use of the joint com
mission which will discuss border
problems.
State Department officials do not
attempt to disguise their regret over
n emature publication of Gen. Funs-
toms conclusions but they indicated
that it would not cause any alteration
in plans. Officials realize, 1t is under
stood, that the most pressing matter
for discussion by the commission.
from the Mexican viewpoint, will be
the question of withdrawal of Gen.
Pershing's expeditionary force.
In order to furnish the American
commissioners with full information,
Gen. Funston was asked to express
hi; views on the military aspects OF
the expedition. There is every indi-
cation that the commissioners, and
later the administration, were expect
