ment officials said Wednesday they had
no information as to when General
Pershing's troops would be withdrawn
from Mexico, indicating that this was
a military question entirely in the hands
OF the war department. There have been
limitations that one of the subjects dis
cussed by Mr.. Polk and Mr.. Arredondo
was whether the question of withdrawal
of the troops should be submitted to the
Joint commissioners for consideration.
Since the Washington government has
made it plain on every occasion that the
troops would retire whenever Carranza
troops could insure the security Of the
border, it appears probable Mr.. Polk
thought it unnecessary for the commits
sion to go into that question and SO in
formed Mr.. Arredondo.
Carranza Officials More Friendly.
A dispatch from General Pershing say
ing that Gonzales had conferred with
him as to reports of the seizure of the
Hearst ranch in Chihuahua and then had
proceeded to investigate the case, was
viewed here as further evidence of the
more conciliatory attitude of all Car
rama officials. General Pershing had
called attention to this change previous
ly, saying that the general opinion of
those Mexicans with whom he came into
contact was that peaceful adjustment
of all difficulties would be found.

London, July Exchanged in many
ways is London since the war began, but
nowhere is the transformation more
marked than in the cosmopolitan dis
trict called Soho, in the west end with
in a stones throw of Piccadilly circus
Soho is not the hustling, merry place
of pre-w war days. The great conflict has
made it quiet, almost lifeless, for French
men, Belgians,, Italians, Germans and
Austrians, who had their homes in Soho,
have gone.
The change is even more pronounced
in Charlotte street. The German chem
lists, German restaurants, German clubs
and German paper shops have gone.
There was even a Christian Kellherhein
"a home for Christian waiters). 1t is
closed now; there are no German walters.
German books have been moved from the
booksellers windows; German signs have
disappeared and certain shopkeepers are
at pains to announce that they are
French or Belgian firms.
The Belgians have lost their country
for the moment, but they have taken
their revenge in Charlotte street There
is no gain saying their victory there.
Instead of the cafes and restaurants with
German signs there are establishments
named after Belgian towns. And in
them may be seen Belgian soldiers on
leave drinking coffee.
