MEXICAN PACT
FAILS APPROVAL
Carranza WithhO|ds RatIfIca.
tiCn Of Protocol.


FIrst Chief Objects to ProvIso Pro.
vidino That the United States May
Send Troops Over Line After Ban
dits-ssssions Resumed.
Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 19.-Repre-
sentatives Of General Carranza on TIE
Msxican-American joint commission
have made admission to the American
member that the protocol signed
three weeks ago at Atlantic City had
not been ratified. They supplemented
that admission, however, with q de-
claration Of the attitude of the Car
ranxa government and assured the
Americans that the delay in ratifica-
tion did not signify the rejection of
the agreement which they had signed
after almost three months of consid-
GRAFTON.
When the commission had ad.
journed after two sessions had been
held II was announced that another
meeting would be held. Unless a
break in the conferences, now unex-
pected. occurred 1t was believed that
the sessions might be continued un-
til near the end Of the week, when an
adjournment would be taken until,
after New Years day.
1t was indicated that Carransa had
withheld ratification when the proto-
col was submitted to him by Alberto
J. Pani. the commissioner who carried
the document from Atlantic City TO
Qusretaro. not so much because he
found the terms Of the agreement i'm
possible. AZ because he felt that the
declaration of the United States gov.
ernment's attitude made by Secre-
tary Of Interior Lane, a. chairman OF
the commission. made II inconsistent
for him to accept II without in turn
defining the position Of his govern
ment. Secretary Lane had placed be-
fore the Mexican commissioners a
supplemental statement. in which he
had clearly inlicsted that II It be
came necessary American troops
would be sent across the border in
pursuit Of bandits and that no re-
strictions as to how the pursuit would
be carried would be tolerated.
Although not included In the pro-
tocol Carranza interpreted this state
ment as vitality connected with the
agreement and his protested against
the pursuance of such policy by the
United States. To the conditions
named in the protocol for the with
drawal OF American troops now in
Chihuahua under General Psrshing. II
is understood he made no serious OBJ
lection.

TOXIC, Dec. 19.-The German peace
proposals probably will be delivered

PREMIER GIVES
BRITISH POLICY
uoyd-George Replies TO Ger
= man Peace Proposal.
ENVOY PAGE DELIVERS NOTE
American Ambassador Hands Doeu-
ment to the British Government
Without Comment - BaIfour, For
eIpn Secretary Takes Vacation.

London, Dec. 19.-Both press and
public have looked forward to the
speech of Premier Lloyd-George in
the house of commons today as the
most important utterance of the kind
since the memorable speeches in
which viscount Grey discussed wheth-
er Great Britain would come into the
war.
Lloyd George has recovered from
his indisposition, and has been at
work. He will rise to address the
commons late this afternoon and
probably will speak for an hour and
half.
The speech of the prime minister
will be not only a reply to the Ger
man peace note, but also will outline
the whole policy Of the new national
government, the trend Of which may
be roughly anticipated from the fact
that the new ministry is avowedly in
power for the definite object "of car
rying on the war with all the vigor
the nation can command to q sue
cessful end"
News from government circles In
cluded the announcement Of the de-
parture of Mr.. Balfour, the secretary
for foreign affairs, for three weeks
vacation. Although his vacation
comes at an important juncture, the
organization of the foreign ONCE per-
mits affairs to proceed uninterrupted
ly under the direction Of Lord Robert
Cecil and Baron Hardinge. the under
secretaries, while the larger questions
of general policy doubtless will re-
ceive the attention of the war cabi-
net, over which the prime minister
presides. Lord Curzon and Milner
also being members with wide dip
lomatic experience.
The peace note Of the central pow
ers was handed to the British govern.
ment by Walter II. Page. the Ameri-
can ambassador. Mr.. Page called at
the foreign office early in the day.
In the absence of Mr.. Balfour, he pre-
sented the note to Lord Cecil.
The note was lnclosed in a large
white envelope. II was handed by
Ambassador Page to Lord Robert
without any comment. and the recipi-
ent made no reference to the ques-
ton Of peace, simply thanking Mr..
Page for the transmission OF mes
sagss from the central powers.
The next step after the meeting OF
the cabinet will be to get into COM
munication with the allies OF Great
Britain, 80 that Joint action may be
taken. This is expected to take at
least q week.
II has been ascertained that the
note contains no terms and the i'm
preston prevails in oficial circles
that until these are disclosed con-
ference IL impossible.
The presentation Of the German
note to the entente has now been
practically accomplished.

100000 and it is expected that the
Legislative body will endorse the
popular approval and thus will our
country come into possession OF a
position which is valuable to us On
on account of its relation to the en-
trance to the Panama Canal. In

and manifested an interest in their

renewed activity in the region about
Verdun and succeeded in driving

United States. He allows it to be
understood that he is not a foe to
all Americans and says that "he and
General Scott" could soon settle all
difficulties that are troubling the
two countries. To secure his favor.
however, we must renounce our
recognition of Carranza and his fol-
lowers.

HUMAN RIDDLES

By John E1freth w

wife confessed that the child was car
ried off. and Louis XVIII had her
! locked up for life in a madhouse. This
same Louis XVIII thereupon ordered
the Able Dubois to sign declaration
that the dauphin had been buried in
the cemetery of his church, st. Mar
guerite. and. after refusing to comply
the bbe was poisoned to death. The
Due de Berri. after denouncing Louis
%VIITs usurpation of the lost dauphin's 9
throne. was assassinated for his pains.
Jealous royalist. the Chevalier
d'Oeillet. is said to have given Simon's
wife 100000 to let him kidnap the fear
crazed dauphin and substitute for that
| princeling a weak-minded peasant lad.
EleaZar Williams died in Hogans- g.
burg. N Y. August %. 1858. aged about
hseventy-two years. Many men who
conversed with him were impressed by
his esemblance to Louis XVI. Our
Libraries contain considerable litera
ture supporting the theory that he was
that unhappy monarch's lost son and
the rightful heir to the French throne.
II not, who was he?
