CAR STRIKE SPREADS
 TO 3RD AVE. EMPLOYES
Labor Leaders Predict 1,2OO Trolley men Will Join Unless Compro-
 mise Is Effected.

New York, July 29.-The street car strike spread to Manhattan today. TWO hundred conductors and motor men of the Third Avenue Railway quit this morning and labor leaders de- clared that unless some unforeseen compromise was effected the re- mainder of the 1,2OO Third Avenue carmen, operating in Manhattan would strike within twenty-four hours.
 With the mass meeting of labor chiefs, strikers and their symp pathizers, to be held tonight, rests the question of whether or not an attempt will be made to extend the strike, which now affects Yonkers, the Bronx and part of Manhattan, to the entire city.
 Additional policemen were sent to the Bronx today and there was little disorder. Officials of the Union Rail- road company said that they had 40 per cent. of their cars in operations in the Bronx. The cars were operated by professional strike breakers.

EARLY AGREEMENT BY
 CARRANZA EXPECTED
American Officials Favor Having Commission Discuss All Phases
 of Mexican Tangle.

Washington, July Washington officials today looked for an early agreement by General Carranza to suggestions for the extension of the powers of an international joint com mission 10 settle border difficulties, which accompanied the American ac- ceptance of Mexico's proposal for that form of settlement. The state depart ment notified Carranza's am bassador here last night that the commission plan was satisfactory.
 American officials do not want to stop at discussion of problems dealing solely with bandit raids and the presence in Mexico of United States troops They want to take up the whole Mexican tangle, hoping the con- ferences may bring suggestions for the reconstruction of Mexico on a firm economical and financial basis. This they consider a matter of first importance.
 It will be two weeks at least, of ficials believe, before the commission can meet The state department will insist that conferences be held within the United States. Appointment of American members will await Car ranza's reply. President Wilson is understood to have under considera- ton already a score of men as com missioners These include Chief Jus tice White, Major General Goethals, Frederick Lehman, and Justice Louis Brandeis. Luis Cabrera, Mexican minister of finance, 1t is understood, will head the Mexican commissioners

Berlin. July 29, by Wireless to Say ville.-At the German foreign office today the following official statement regarding Great Britain's reply to President Wilson's appeal for the feeding of the populations of occupied territories was given out:
 "Viscount Grey (British secretary for foreign affairs) answered the American presidents appeal to all the belligerent nations to establish an un- derstanding with regard to relief work in Poland, and issued a declaration which is no more nor less than an at tempt to include the territories occu- pied by Germany and Austria Hun gary into the system for the starva- tion of Germany which has been pro- claimed by the British governmen contrary to all international law.
 "Viscount Grey tries to make the German government responsible for the consequences which this incredible plan has for the inhabitants of the occupied territories. This Is British hypocrisy. which in this case is especially transparent"

KAISER APPROVED OF
 FRYATTS EXECUTION
Reported to Have Agreed to Justice of Death
 Sentence.

Berlin, Friday, July 2S, 1:30 D. r1., via London, July 29, 12:35 p. m.--The execution at Bruges on July 27 Of Captain Charles Fryatt, of the Brit ish steamship Brussels, after trial by court-martial for attempting to ram a German submarine, denotes a new phase in the controversy over the sea rights of merchantmen.
 The German government prize regu lations issued before the beginning of the war adopted the principle that merchantmen were not entitled to commit acts of war, and it threatened to treat as pirates those attemp mpting to do so.
 The execution of Captain Fryatt German officials contend, is in accord with that principle, which, according to the German view, merely extends to sea warfare the principles already controlling Franc-tireur activity on land.
 It is hoped in official circles here that this case will lead to a definitive clearing up of the questions of mer- chantmen acting at intermittent times as war vessels.

Litigation in This Country.

Litigation In In1S country.
 Norfolk, Va, July 29.-Federal Judge Waddill today decided the libel proceedings for possession of the cap tured British liner Appam in favor of the English owners and against the German prize crew which brought her here.
 The court held that the German gov- ernment lost all legal claim to the Appam and her cargo as prizes of war when Lieutenant Berg and his crew on last February 1 brought into the neutral waters of Hampton Roads with the intention of laying up" the vessel indefinitely.
 The court held further: That the Prussian-American treaty of 1799, re- newed in 1928, does not apply or con- trol in the case so as to guarantee the prize crew asylum in United States waters.
 That the action of the German prize court in declaring the Appam a prize while the case was in litigation in the United States courts has no effect on the jurisdiction of the courts.
 That the jurisdiction of the United States courts in the case is established by long line of precedents
 Here in Violation of Neutrality.
 ''The courts conclusion," the de- cision reads, lis that the manner of bringing the Appam into the waters of the United States, as well as her presence in those waters, constitutes a violation of the neutrality of the -I.z out bidding or permission: that she is here in violation of the law; that she is unable to leave for lack of a crew, which she cannot provide or augment without further violation of neutral lty; that in her present condition she is without lawful right to be in and remain in these waters; that she, as between her captors and owners to all practical intents and purposes must be treated as abandoned and stranded upon our shores and that her owners are entitled to restitution of their property, which this court should award, irrespective of the prize court proceedings of the court of the Im- perial government of the German Elm pire and it will be so ordered.'
 Appeal Predicted.
 Attorneys were notified that the court would hear any motions the desired to make next Wednesday at noon. Consul Won Schilling who was In court, with Lieut.. Berg, said an appeal doubtless would be taken. "I never dreamed," he declared, "that any grounds could be found Eor taking the Appam from us.' .sz- The vessel may be restored to her !, former owners under bond pending an appeal. or held at Newport News In the custody of @ United States marshal as at present.
 The Appam Is valued at s1,000,- poo. Her cargo, much of which was perishable, was disposed of for S634,- poo and the money placed in the cus- tody of the court. Gold, said to have amounted to s750,00o was removed from the vessel at the time of cap ture off the coast of Spain and car s ried to Germany by the raider Moewe The money recently was declared 2 prize by a German prize court ant turned over to the Reichstag.

struggles in that country Three
hundred years after Cortez vanquish-
