In such event the time shall be tended.
 SECOND - The American army shall patrol the American side of the border and the Mexican army shall patrol the Mexican side, but this shall not preclude cooperation between the two forces to preserve peace on the border.
 ''THIRD-It shall be left to the com manding officers of the armies on the border of both nations to enter into such arrangements for cooperation in operations against bandits whenever it is possible
 The right of the American govern ment to send troops across the border in pursuit of bandits was not incor- porated in the protocol but was made the subject of a supplemental memo randum. The Mexicans had contended earnestly against signing any agree ment in which they appeared to sane tion what they termed the violation of their territory. It was the agree ment of the Americans finally to con- tent themselves with stating the atti- tude of the United States in separate memorandums that induced the MeXi- cans to sign.
 It became known today that the first request of the Mexicans for a recess was made several days ago. They desired to submit to General Carranza all the facts in the case and

(By Review Leased Wire.)

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 24.-All pre- liminary obstacles to a decision by the supreme court of the United States on the Adamson law were wiped out today. The only possible hitch in the proceedings now lies in the question whether the highest court will advance the case and can render a decision by January 1. when the law is scheduled to 20 into effect.
 The case of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and of other failways which had applied to Judge Pollock's in the United States district court at Kansas City, Kansas. were by agree ment postponed until after decision by the supreme court and announce ment was made by Frank Hagerman. special assistant to the attorney gen eral in Adamson law cases and Wal ker D.

Villa, Defeated,
 Seeks Safety In
 Mountain Hdunts
(RY Review Leased Wire.l

JUAREZ, Nov. 24.-Francisco Villa has failed in his repeated efforts to capture Chihuahua City from the de facto forces, high Carranza officials here who are in constant touch with the developments in the state capital, declared emphatically tonight.
 After two days of almost continuous fighting, Villa has been driven from the vicinity of the city and has left for the northwest with the remnants of his command, they say. With the reported withdrawal of the enemy, the attention of the CarranZa forces is be- ing turned to burying the dead and succoring the wounded-both bandit and government soldiers-who were left on the battle field after today's fighting, official reports from Chihua hua City say. The CarranZa general reported killed is said ro be General Gandara. a former follower of Villa, who received amnesty.
 The fighting today as yesterdays as far as can be learned from the typical ly brief military messages which have come over the federal wire and from the more amplified Associated Press dispatches, was centered around the east sector of the defensive works. Creeping along pebbly, dry wash in the direction of Santa Eulalia, to the east of the capital. the bandits opened their attack in unision at a. m. upon the infantry entrenched behind breastworks extending along the plains to the east. Upon being repulsed with rife. machine gun and shrapnel fire the bandits made a wide detour and swung of to the northwest on their diminutiye COW ponies. This at tack continued until after nine o'clock and followed an early morning at tempt by the Villa bandits to capture Santa Rosa Hill to the southeast of the town and obtain possession of the cannon which crown this hill
 Other fighting was reported during the day from the northwest in the vicinity of Las Escobas ranch and to the south where General Apolonio Trevino. with his cavalry, made an effort to cut of the Villa bandits from their trains which were left between Mapula and Horcasitas, on the Mex ican Central line. Villa was reported late today to have fled to his old

conditions of this country during the past year were perhaps one of the leading causes of crop shortage. For example, the wheat in the northwest was crop failure; the corn crop was in many sections a partial failure as well as the potato and vegetable crops.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.- In de- fense of the farm, the national grange in annual session here, issued a state ment tonight analysing the high cost of living and attributing the rising prices of farm products to poor crops and the increasing cost of what the farmer has to buy. If embargos are to be placed to help the situation. the statement says, they should be on manufactured products. particularly munitions of war. Prohibition of gambling in food stuffs and provision of more storage houses under control of the farmers themselves also are suggested. A statement. drafted by a special committee under instructions from the grange said in part:
 Tn many countries with cheap lab or and high priced lands the yield per acre exceeds that of the United States. The American farmer with cheap lands and high priced labor produces many times as much per man as does the farmer of any coun- try in the world.

CHANCELLORS IF THREE GREAT WARMING POWERS SUBSCRIBE
 TO AMERICAN PEACE PLAN
Respective Leaders of France Germany and England Pledge Their Support After Present Conflict to Principles of League Enforce Peace Which Call for Arbitration of International Disputes Premier Is Doubtful However of Permanent Benefits
(By Review Leased Wire !

! NEW YORK. Nov. 24.-Messages of
 good will from the chancellories of
 three of Europe's warning powers read at a dinner given here tonight ' by the League to Enforce Peace. The purpose of the banquet was to consider program for a permanent league Of
 nations at the close of the great con fiict
 Approval of the principles proposed
 was given by Aristide Briand. premier of France: Chancellor von Bethmann
 Hollweg. of Germany. and Viscount Grey. Great Britain's secretary oi state for foreign affairs.
 | Mir. Briand's message said: "I have the honor to acknowledge | the receipt of your communication. the contents of which I have noted with lively interest. In basing youI effort on the fundamental principles of respect for the, rights and wishes of the various peoples of the world you are certain of being on common ground with the countries, who in the present conflict, are giving their blood and their resources, without counting the cost to save the independence of the nations"
 From Viscount Grey the following message was received:
 'I think public utterances must have already made it clear that l sincerely desire ro see a league of nations formed and made effective to secure future peace of the world after this war is over. I regard this as the best. if not the only prospect of pre- serving treaties and of saving the world from aggressive wars in years my sentiments in the matter. I hope this telegram in reply to your own will remove it"
 Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg sent as his message the following:
 We have not concealed our doubts with regard to the question whether peace could be permanently guar anteed by such international organiza- tions as arbitration courts.
 ''I shall not discuss the theoretical aspects of the problem but we must know and at the time of the conclusion of peace. from the point of view of facts, our position with regard to this question. When at and after the end of the war the world will become fJSiy conscious of its horrifying destruction of life and property. when through the whole of mankind will ring a cry for peaceful arrangements and understand ing which as far as lies in human power. shall avoid the return of such a monstrous catastrophe This cer- tainly will be so powerful and so justified that it must lead to some re- suit.
 Germany will honestly cooperate in the examination of every endeavor to find a peaceful conclusion of the question and will collaborate to make its realization possible. This will be the more attainable if the war. as we expect and trust, will create political conditions which do full justice to the free development of all nations, the small ones as well as the great nations.

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Nov. 24.-(via the Villa bandits from the east was begun at six o'clock today and was re pulsed, as were the other attacks by the bandits, with heavy losses to the attacking forces.
 The machine guns again did deadly execution in the ranks of the bandits, who crept up from the east under cover of a deep arroyo or dry wash. These rapid firers cut down the advancing thin lines of bandits like a mower in a field of standing grain. The dead and wounded were left on the battle field, as was done in the previous as- saults.
 The enemy finally broke and ran in disorder, the heavy artillery taking up the thread of the fighting when the machine guns were out-ranged. Gen eral Ozuna, commander of General Trevino's cavalry forces pursued the bandits and completed the rout of the forces which had attempted to gain an entrance to the city by way of the arroyo and slaughter house.
 The Villa forces fled toward the northwest and are now believed to be out of touch with the remaining Villa commands.
 Among the wounded today was Gov ernor Francisco Trevino, brother of General Trevino, who was shot in the hand. Two officers of General Trevi- nos general staff have been killed dur ing the two days of fighting. The body of General Julio Acosta, one of Villas commanders, was found to the west of the city, as was the body of Andres Sada, Villas secretary. General Acos- to was killed in action by Colonel Cadera of the Carranza cavalry col umn, during the cavalry engagement yesterday. ..f

THE OSWEGO INCIDENT.

How far reaching is the diplomatic vic
tory Wilson gained on the submarine IS
sue with Germany, was shown IN the case
of the Oswego The German note d1savow-
ing an unfriendly intent has been receiv-
ed, and the frank exposition of events that
led to the U-boat's firing on the American
ship Oswego, is further proof of Ger
many's intention to live up to the Arneri-
can definition of international law.
1t appeared that on the afternoon of
August 2, a German submarine sighted a
ship, with flag unrecognizable, and at
distance of three miles, signalled her to
stop AS she did not obey signals, eleven
shells were fired at different intervals !;
the American flag was then displayed.
The captain was ordered to send boat
with papers proving the registery, but did
not comply, and the U-boat sent couple
of shots across the bow when the first
officer of the Oswego came aboard the
submarine and stated that they hadn't
seen the boat until then.
Whether or not this is true, has no bear
ing on the case. The point for us to OBJ
serve is that the Germans actually ex-
ceeded the behests of international law
when they refrained from harming yes
sci which paid no attention to a warship's
orders, and which continued its efforts to
escape.
When we remember the arrogant exul-
tation of Germany's war lords at the Lus-
itania outrage, which was followed by the
torpedoing Of other unarmed merchant
men without warning, the extent of Will
sons peaceful victory is almost unbeliev-
able

One reason for the shortage, according
to the Record, is the fact that the railroads
do not have proper terminals or employ
efficient methods in handling the traffic.
By actual figures, freight car is earning
revenue only about two hours day, and
its average movement has been computed
to be less than the speed of a canal boat
But the improvements which the cor
rection of the terminal troubles would
bring about, would be only temporary at
best. Our freight movement is increas-
ing so rapidly that new roads must be
built to handle it, or our water facilities
must be improved.
The railroads which are unable to handle
the business will have no reason to con-
tinue an opposition to the development of
inland waterways.
In addition to a return of the river
freighters, we may expect to see Our coast
steamers multiplied. Already the big
coastwise steamship lines are planning to
augment their fleets, in the event of a rail
road strike. The time will soon come
when every ton of freight possible will be
water-transported, and the railroads will
have all they can do to handle the business
to inland points, or places not reached by
canal or river
