WASHINGTON, June "A proposal tO General Carranza that the United States and the Mexican de facto gov ernment submit the whole subject on relations to an international commis sion, is being seriously considered by the administration.
 Such a proposal if it is made, will serve as a reply to the Mexican note demanding withdrawal of the Ameri- can troops, and may contemplate ad- justment of many unsettled differ ences that for years have caused ac- cumulating embarrassment in the rela- tions of the two nations. Settlement by a commission is provided for ex- pressly by the treaty of 1S4S which provides further that "should such a course be proposed by either party, it shall be acceded to by the other unless deemed by it altogether incompatible with the nature of the difference or the circumstances of the case"
 President Wilson and General Car ranza would appoint an equal number of commissioners under the plan. and the meeting probably would be held somewhere outside the territory of both countries. There was no indica- ton tonight that the president with whom rests the final word as to whether the proposal shall be made, had yet reached a decision or that the reply would go forward within the next few days
 Many officials believe such a dis cussion of all disputed matters would do much to solve the difficulties each government has encountered in getting a clear view of the purposes of the other, and in making it's own position clear. In addition to military ques- tions, there are far reaching economic considerations now greatly complicated by the European war.
 Coming down from by-gone years are unsettled questions as to certain portions of the international boundary Out of the Vera Cruz incident arose new problems which must be cleared up sooner, or later including dispos- tiOn of the customs revenues collected by General Funston, amounting to more than s1,00O,O00 and now depos- ited in this country. There are also claims for property damage at Vera Cruz, long pigeon holed by the navy department.
 Most far-reaching of all, however. is the question of indemnification fol American lives lost and American property destroyed or damaged during the years of revolution in Mexico. Nc attempt ever has been made to set III an estimate of the amount involved ir these claims; but all are recorded al the state department awaiting restora ton of order and peace in Mexico fol q day of settlement.
 While the commission suggestion may not propose to go into broad discussion of all these matters, il seems likely that each will have it. bearing upon the deliberations. Fol this reason, it is thought the American

membership of the commission would be so chosen that the military com mercial and financial interests of the nation would all be represented.
 Out of such a deliberation which it is believed General Carranza would welcome, officials believe there might come so definite an understanding as to the purposes of the Washington government that it would have it's effect not only in Mexico but also in all Latin America, and make toward a furtherance of the neighborly relations between the nations of the western hemisphere.

 Finally at 237 o'clock MT Robins resumed his speech after telling the
 leaders that he would not risk men, tioning the ColoneTs name again During the remainder of his address there were outbursts and demonstra- tions but they were short. When MT
 Robins declared the American people

New Course For Yale Crews;'
Favor Housatonic River

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 2S.-Officia1
announcement is made to-day of the
adoption by the Yale Rowing .Asso-
citation of the course of the Housatonic
river above Derby for the spring and
fall regattas. Negotiations are under
way with Princeton and Cornell, the
announcement says. to establish the
Housatonic river as one of the courses
for the yearly triangular race between
the three universities If Princeton
and Cornell agree, the race will be at
Derby next spring and every third year
thereafter.
Growth of New Haven about the
water front and increasing shipping in
the harbor are given as reasons for
making the chance, as practice in the
harbor under present conditions Is
considered undesirable. The commit
tee adds: The rowing committee
wishes to contradict as absolutely pre-
posterous the rumors that have spread
that Yale wished to change the Yale
Harvard race from New London. Yale
is satisfied in every way with the New
London course"
