Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW LONDON, Conn.,. Sept. 21.- Confidence in their ability to find a solution of the border and other pro5- lens affecting the relations between Mexico and the United States, char acteriZed the attitude of the members of the Mexican American joint com mission today. notwithstanding the virtual certainly that no definite agreement on any plan will be reach ed this week.
 General conditions in Mexico again were discussed and the American members submitted more reports gathered by the state department on conditions in Mexico. In a general way the subject of withdrawing the American troops was talked over, the Meyicans eXUressing their opinion that General CarranZa's S army was capable of coping with the situation.
 That the renewed activity of Villa in Chihuahua probably would delay an
 greement on some plan of border con- trol was taken by the Mexicans as matter of course. The Mexicans hope to have before the conference tomor-
 row official reports from their gov ernment which will serve as a basis 'Or the argument that the attack on Chihuahua is not a true indication of the governments inability to main tain peace along the frontier. Today the Mexicans presented nothing more than Q brief message from Andres Garcia consul at Fl Paso. asserting that "all is tranquil in Chihuahua" Albert Pani, one of the Mexican commissioners, went to New York tonight on business connected with the railroads of Mexico. of which he is director-g general.

The Chihuahua Affair

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The most 3etailcd account Vet received of the fighting at Chihuahua City last sat Irday when Villa celebrated the Mex ican Independence day by a suc- ccssful assault upon the Carranza garrison, reached the war department today from Brigadier General George Bell. commanding the Fl Paso mili- tary district. It asserts that Villa personally led the attacking forces; that he took and held numerous inn pOrtant buildings in the city for sev- eral hours; there he was joined by a thousand pr more men of the Car rarza garrison and retired, promis- ing to return soon and taking with him a large quantity of captured arms. ammunition and artillery.
 General Bells dispatch does not show the source of his information, and many officials believe his ac- count of the incident was founded on rumors reaching the border, as were various stories which have been transmitted by state department agents They were inclined to be- lieve for that reason that the full truth of what took place is not vet known. Reports so far received are similar only in that they show a fight did occur on September 16 and that the Villa followers took the

C. Blickensderfer of the Detroit Copper Mining Co. described comparative test of the Marathon, Chilian and Hardinge Mills.
 Today's Notation discussions were particularly important to mining inter- ests because of the first public presen- tation of report of experiments on several miscellaneous wood oils which seem adaptable to use in the Notation process. A statement of some of the values of these oils was presented by K. C. Palmer. of Madison, Wis: Glenn L. Allen, of the Shattuck Arizona Cop

 "There is no basis for that in the recognition of small states" Mir Hughes added There is no basis or that in the recognition of the sovereignty of our neighbor.

 Another especially striking feature of this discussion was a description by Dr. Rudolf Gahl, representing Inspira- tion Consolidated Copper Co.,. of the exhaustive research and experiment of his company in an effort to develop the Notation process. Said Dr. Gahl:
 The Notation process is in it's in- fancy. In what direction future changes may take place is perhaps indicated by tests which have been made partly on laboratory scale and partly on a somewhat larger scale. The fact that the Inspiration company has been able to design a commercially successful flo- tation plant must be attributed to the policy of spending great sums of mon- ey for the purpose of Investigating the Notation process on commercial scale"

garded here as sufficient to require a seIarate conference, but one which might properly be intertwined with the peace meeting.
 Germany's proposal for "an imme- date meeting of delegates at neu- tral place. is received as admittedly much more specific than the original proposal to enter forthwith into peace negotiations and to go even further than President Wilson's sug- gestion that "soundings be taken"
 How far the United States can or will be concerned in that can only be decided by President Wilson. off cials assume that Germany expects the United States to inform her enc mics of her reply.
 Two features 0 ftbe note beclouded the situation slightly and caused some concern among officials here. The first was the giving out of the text in Berlin bfeOre it had opportun- ity to reach Washington and the oth- CT was the connection of the reply with the original German peace pro 'posal. President Wilson went to great pains in his note to disavow any as sociation or influence with this pro pOsa, and the association in the Ger man reply was somewhat disquieting to officials, who foresee the necessity of probably reiterating the position of this government
 Pending receipt of the official text, attention turns to the reply of the entente governments. At their embas- sies here the view prevails that their answer, while expressing sympathetic regard for the presidents purposes and ideals, will decline to negotiate on the status quo. The entente reply to the German proposals is expected to be couched in the sharpest Ian guage, probably taking opportunity to lay stress on the moral questions to which their statesmen have devoted much attention in public utteances.
 Dispatches today from Petrograd outlining the official view there fore shadowing that the allies would not discuss peace terms until they stood in military possession of territory they claim attracted much attention
