WILSON AWAITS
CARRANzA'S0.K.
Joint Commission Scheme
Ready for Approval
by First Chief.
frrom Tho Trtbunc Bureau. ]

Washington, July 19.--All except the
last details of the joint commission
plan for settling the Mexican contro-
versy were arranged at the State De-
partment to-day. Ambassador Designate
Arredondo visited the department
twice, conferring with Acting Secre-
tary Polk and Ambassador Fletcher,
who is assisting Mr.. Polk in the nego.
tiations
The department announced late to-
day that statement of the conclusions
reached might be expected in a few
days. 1t is understood that General
Carranza's approval of the agreement
is awaited, and that when it is received
the personnel of the commission and
the date and place of meeting will be
decided on.
Administration supporters believe
that the commission plan of settlement
will battle the Republicans. IL is point
ed out that as the commission has only
advisory powers and cannot bind Presi-
dent Wilson Mr.. Hughes will have hard
work to find an opening TO attack Mr..
Wilson's Mexican policy in his accept
snce speech. He will be shooting IN
the dark, they say, not knowing what
decision the commission will reach, nor
whether it will be accepted BY the Pres
dent.
On the other hand, the Administra-
tion is free to be guided in its actions
by the nature OF Mr.. Hughes's attacks
The President has several cards 70
play, and has the advantage, officials
believe, in that Mr.. Hughes is obliged
to lead.
July 81, therefore, is regarded as the
critical date in the Presidents Mexican
policy. On that day when, it is be-
ieved, the commission will be assem-
bling, Mr.. Hughes is expected TO com
nit himself at Carnegie Hall, while
President Wilson is still uncommitted
The President will then have leisure to
consider what action would be the
strongest retort to Mr.. Hughes's attack
By the time the President, under
his new plan Of waiting until Congress
adjourns, delivers his acceptance speech
he will have decided this question and
will be able to be concrete and specific
where, it is believed, Mr.. Hughes will
have to be hypothetical and vague.

Commissioner Woods has called for
twenty-five volunteers from the bicycle

guard duty in front of houses quaran-

Only single men are asked to perform
