Atlantic City. v. j., Nov. 10-President
Wilson's decision to deal more drastic
by the action OF the American delegates
to the Mexican-American Peace Commits
sion. The commission held its first meet
ing after the election recess and the
Americans Immediately took the often
sive.
In polite but firm language the Ameri-
can ENJOYS declared that Carranza was
not fulfilling his promise to destroy or
Isolate Villa.
The MCXicans were confronted with
State and army reports indicating that
Villa was becoming stronger daily; that
the first chiefs drive against him had
collapsed. and that the United States
was again menaced by Villista bandits.
When the Mexicans attempted explana-
tiOns. the Americans presented still more
positive evidences of the demoralization
. Of the Carranza forces around Chihuahua.
Should Let L. $. Army Act.
Anticipating the renewed demand of
the MeXicans that the American troops
in Mexico must be removed, the Ameri-
cans pointed out that such move would
be absolute folly; it would be much wiser
TO permit the American army free scope
in Chihuahua that it might crush Villa
and restore law and order in that region.
This done. the Americans would retire.
ThH suggestion of greater American
Military activity in Chihuahua is said
70 have aroused the suspicious of the
AcNlCans to high pitch. They asked II
IN" United States did not already intend
4 complete invasion of Chihuahua, and
for that purpose had recently reinforced
PershinS's border forces with more
militia.
The answer of the Americans was Pc
culiarly nonCommittal
In Southern Mexico. the American en-
vOys also said, Carranza was menaced
hy Dfaz and the Legalistas.
In confronting the Mexican ENJOYS with
proof of Carranza's weakness, the Amer
leans had this purpose: Carranza must
accept the cooperation of the United
States in establishing a stable and strong
government or the United States will
withdraw recognition and seek to solve
the Mexican problem another way.

that 1,5oO employees will be dropped from

Latest returns give the Democrats 2lj

by the House committees on elections,

(By the International News service.)
New York. Nov. 1o.-Practically every
railroad in the country is preparing to
test the constitutionality of the Adam
son eight-hour law in the courts. Four
Western railroads already have filed bills
in injunction suits and a number OF East
ern roads are preparing papers in SIM
liar suits.
In addition to this, the presidents Of a
large number of railroads have been hold
ing conferences in this city since Thurs
day to determine the best method Of at
reached no decision.
The action OF the Western railroads in
bringing injunction suits was discussed In
detail, especially on the advantages of
following suit and bringing the law to a
test before it goes into effect on Janu-
airy l.
The conference also discussed the ad-
visibility of presenting the railroad side
of the question to the commission headed
by Gen, Goethals, which was appointed
by the law with the duty of observing
it in practice and reporting the facts to
Congress.
At the conclusion OF today's session none
'of the conferees would discuss the meet
ing. One of the railroad presidents who
was present stated it had not yet reached
a point where any public statement would
be made. The conference will be con-
tinued until some decision as to the best
action to be taken has been determined.
Nearly all the railroads terminating in
this city are preparing bills in anticipa-
ton of filing suits against the law.

CHIHUAHUA CITY FALLS

Trainload of Carranza Soldiers Ar
rives in Juarez.

IBy the International News Seryice.)
San Antonio. Tex, Nov. 1O-Dispatches
from Gen. George Bell. jr.. to Gen. Fred
erick Funston tonight indicated that Chi
huahua City had either fallen in battle
into Francisco Villas hands or had been
voluntarily evacuated by Gen. Jacinto
TrevinO.
The arrival Of a train load of soldiers
at Juarez from the south indicated that
TrevinO's army was coming out. whether
in defeat or OF their own volition was
not known.
The fact that French. British, German
and Swiss residents of Chihuahua City
left the town twenty-fOur hours ago and
that TrevinO sent his archives, his fam
lily and his immediate friends TO Ell Paso
4 considerable time ago would lend cred
once to the report that the Carranzista
Garrison had abandoned the City of Chi
