today that the recent Carranza de-
cree Prohibiting foreign stockholders
in Mexican corporations from claim

entity IT will not affect the existing
big American ana other foreign oil

Thus department. officials see no
urgent necessity for immediate pro-
test. They Indicated however. that

no means prepared to submit quietly

as is involved in the new decree.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Notwith-
~ standing the failure of media
ton to bring together the representa-
tives of the railroads of the country
and their four hundred thousand en-
ployes on the demand for an eight
hour day and time and half over
time, the threatened strike that would
tie up 225 railroad systems and throw
1900, 900 railroad workers out Of en-
plOyment, may be aVerted by arbitra-
ton. An agreement to this effect may
be entered into tomorrow, it was pre-
dicted here tonight.
At the end of day Of confusing
situations and contradictory reports,
the leaders of the four railroad broth
erhoods and the members of the
United States board of mediation and
conciliation, which is striving to eff
feet peaceful settlement at the spe-
cial request of President Wilson,
viewed the situation optimistically.
It has been virtually conceded thai
arbitration under the present prOvis-
ions Of the Newands act would not
be satisfactory to the men, but an
expansion of the board provided for
may be accepted by them with the
provision that only their present de-
mandS are to he arbitrated. The rail
roads have maintained that in the
event Of arbitration, not only the de-
mands of their employees. but the
roads contingent = OPPOSITION which is
based on the eight-hOur day but
eliminates the double compensation
features. should be arbitratcd.
Refuse to Discuss.
Although the mediators and the
railroad managers refused to discuss
the events Of the day, Mr. Garretson
mad no hesitation in doing so, say
ing that mediation having failed, he
was under no further obligations to
maintain secrecy about the negotia-
tions. lie said the double compensa-
ton feature was the stumbling block.
Mr.. Garretson declared double com
pensation agreements are i'm effect on
virtually every railroad in the country
and that they were won by the men
after serious effort extending over a
roriod of thirty years. Because the
mediatOrs could not give the train
men assurances that the railroads
would waive "the contingent PROPOSE
ton" the men adjourned until to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock when
the mediatOrs will again report. The
mediators met the railroad managers
Crly tor brief period during the aft
crnoon, but said they had satisfactory
railroad official declared. however,
that there would be no backdOwn on
their part until the other side showed
a DISPOSITION TO meet them half way
The next move is up to the rail
reeds. Mr.. Garretson said, in view Of
the fact that they had requested the
services of the mediators.

HUNGARIANS FOR
HONORABLE PEACE
Leaders of Two Factions
Agree That Integrity of
Nation Uppermost.

AMSTERDAM, Aug. IA tele-
gam from Budapest says that Count
Michael Karolyi, leader of the new
iEutrendcnce party, speaking in the
hungarian chamber of deputies as
serted it wcrio be in the interests Of
leace If the government would make
a declaration in reg trd to the war
aims Of the monarchy and the condi-
lions demanded for terminating the
struggle.
AN ough he desired 4 speedy peace
he wished it to be lasting one.
Referring to Rumania and the as
pirations supposed to be cherished
there for possession of Pennsylvania,
tho count said:
SO long 8s Hungarian breathes
we shall fight unswerVinely for the
integrity Of Hungary and the defense
OF Transylv1nta."
Would Strengthen Alliances.
Count Albert Apponyi. leader Of the
opposition. who has accepted the pro
gram of Court Karolyi said he saw
the best guarantee of lasting peace in
the strengthening Of the mOnarchy's
alliances
Premier Tisza said in reply he de-
sired only to state, as was known.
that a noisy section of the Rumanian
press has done everything possible
since tne beginning of the war to
involve Rumania in war with Austria
hungary. The premier added that
the ridiculous calumny that Count
karolyi desired peace at any price
and a separate peace with Russia had
made a certain impression on Ruman-
ian public opinion and on the entente
powers. He declared cmphatiCally
his agreement with Count Karolyis
view that as long as "A Hungarian was
left alive the Hungarian nation would
resist to the utmost any attack upon
its integrity.
Must Defend Integrity.
Il do not speak here of Rumania,
where today we confront the hostile
tendency of irresponsible elements"
he continued. 81 speak Of our enemies
and OF the fact that we must wage
war further if we wish to defend our
integrity, for this war is directed
against our integrity.
ut is openly aYowed that the par
tition of the monarchy, and especially
of the Hungarian state, is the object
a situation we shall not speak in this
house of peace, but of victory.
Everybody knows we did not be-
gin this war The whole world knows
that even in the days before the
declaration of war and since then,
during the course of the war, we have
always been ready for honorable
peace. The task for the present mo-
ment is to make every eXertion for
victory"

A NEGRO PLAYER
RESPONSIBLE FOR
BROWNS SHOWING

Browns splendid record of seven
successive triumphs this season has
been made possible largely because of
the playing of Pollard. the negro half
back, whose work makes him stand
out as one of the most remarkable
players on the gridiron today.
Pollard has amazing strength, great
speed and an agile brain. He is the
hardest man to stop that has played
in the East this year. He has zig
gag way of running ends that baffled
the Yale tackIers last Saturday just as
it thwarted the other Brown foemen.
And he is game to the core.
IN that last half when the Yale line
was beaten to a pulp and its team
in almost every play in the first part
of the game, the negro boy came back
in the second and led the hosts of
Providence in their unstopabIe charge
against Yale. Pollard was here, there
and everywhere. He cracked the line
for five yards, three yards, six yards,
ten yards. Hes ran ends in way that
stunned the Yale rooters. He execut-
ed several long sprints, and time and
again performed his zig-zag that car
ried him from one side of the field
to the other, thru a field of Yale
tacklers. And always it was for a gain.

BAN ON BETTING
Even Oral Wagers May Be Pro-
hibited on n. Y. Tracks.
Frank Menke Picks a New OPP
pOnent for Willard.
BY FRANK G. MENKE

New York, Nov. 1s.-The racing
folks in New York state are expert
encing shivers in the region of their
backbone. They fear the higher New
York courts will sustain the lower in
ruling that oral race track wagering
is illegal. Should the upper court
make such a finding-which is
thought likely-it will be a terrific
blow to the turf sport in the Empire
state.
The Casa test one-involves two
alleged layers" only. They were ar
rested early in the spring charged
with accepting bets. police magis-
trate found them guilty. They car
ried the case to the supreme court. 1t
sustained the magistrate. The ap-
pellate division to which the case later
was taken upheld the supreme court
ruling.
And now the case is under consid-
Grafton by the court of appeals-the
final tribunal. If it rules with the
other courts it probably means that
even oral wagering, which was sup
posed to be within the law, may not
be permitted next year. If such a
rule should govern the tracks, 1t is
believed that it will kill racing again.
as interest in the sport is sustained
largely by betting.
Henry Greb of Pittsburg is the logi-
cal opponent for Jess Willard. What
Never heard of him? Nothing strange
in that. Few have any knOWledge OF
the existence of Greb, who displaces
only about half as much tonnage as
the heavyweight leader. But Greb
ranks next to Willard in the "compar-
ative showing league. And dope is
dope, isn't it?
Who was the heir apparent to the
throne? Frank Moran-that's right.
But Jack Dillon came along and
knocked the apparent stuff all askew.
incidentally, his victory over Moran
made him the prospective heir. But
Jack was foolish enough to mingle
twice after that with Battling Le-
vinsky-and Bat beat him. So Bat
became the next in line to Willard.
However, Billy Miske of st. Paul
took on Bat in an idle hour and
whaled him with much eclat. Thus.
Miske became the heir apparent. And
now we come to Greb.
Two years ago when Greb felt very
much in the need of the stuff that
buys beef stew, he substituted for a
fellow who was to have battled Miske
in Philadelphia but iran out" of the
match at the last minute. And Greb
beat Miske to the verdict.
