MARINE INSURANCE
RATES INCREASED
Advance Attributed to Reports hat
Liner VoItaire Has Been Captured
and that Several Trans Atlantic
Liners Are Overdue.

New York, Dec. 30.-Marine insur-
ance rates today showed another in
crease. Underwriters rates showed =
to per cent for cargoes bound to the
United Kingdom and 10 per cent to
Mediterranean ports.
The advance was attributed to the
reports that the Lambert & Holt liner
Voltaire, long overdue. had been cap
tured by a German prize crew which
was preying on allied freighters in the
rerth Atlantic, and to the fact that
several transatlantic steamers are
now overdue on both sides of the ocean.
Altho the Voltaire, from Liverpool to
New York, is fourteen days behind her
schedule representatives of the line
here said they had not given up nope
and would not do so until they heard
officially that their vessel had been
lost. In maritime circles it was pointed
out that anxiety oyer the ,non-arrlVai
Of steamers is unnecessarily eXagger-
ated. Because Of rough weather, 1t is
said, some steamers are taking-s from

cross from British and French ports
and from Geona and Marseilles they

might order her into another port
where she might be detained week or
more.

CARRANZA INSISTS
AMERICANS GET OUT
Withdrawal Of Pershine's Force Said
to Be Only Solution of Controversy
Between Mexico and United States
The Mexican Wow.

Washington, DEG. 50, Counselor
Polk at the state department. and
Charles H. Douglas. local attorney for
the Carranza government, conferred
today over the Mexican situation
Mr.. Douglas declined to comment and
INFORMATION concerning the conference
was withheld by department officials
II was understood however, that a
suggestion was presented that the
voluntary withdrawal Of American
troops from Mexico would go far
toward clarifying the situation.
Mr.. Douglas believes the only solu-
tion of the problem Is to be found by
this government withdrawing upon its
own responsibility the Pershing forces
and agreeing to a further discussion OF
other Mexican difficulties by the COM
missioners. ...
1t was explained that Carranza's
failure to sign the agreement was due
to the provisions imposed with ref
erence to a possible continuance OF
bandit activity in northern Mexico.
Had CarranZa signed the agreement
Mexican officials say, he would in the
event Of another bandit raid into
American territory and pursuit by
American soldiers into Mexico, have IN
effect legaliZed the reoccupauon OF
Mexican territory by United States
military forces and would have
ieopardized the de facto governments
chance Of restoring order south Of the
border.

Would Result in Jap Occupation.
Cincinnati, O., Dec. 30. - IF the
United States withdraws from the
Philippines will there be any guarantee
against the seizure of the islands by
another nation? I am afraid not"
This was a statement made by James
III. Robertson, of Washington, who
spoke at the closing session of the
American Historical Association here
today.
II can not believe that the Japanese
government, Notwithstanding certain
public utterances, is desirous of annex
ing the islands, as Japan's lines Of ex-
pansion lie to the north and north
west. But am certain that Japanese
interests would demand the occupation
OF the islands in case of withdrawal by
the United States, If for no other rea-
son than to forestall their occupation
by another nation. I should be sorry
to see this happen. 1t would mean the
loss Of an American experiment which
has attained valuable results. Neutral
iztion, formerly the catchword Of the
politician, is now seldom heard. Bel
