FOR BORDER TROUBLES
American Commissioners May Pro-

CBy the International News servIce.)
New London, Conn, Sept. I7.-Lest Gen.
CarranZa orders his ENJOYS home because
the American troops are not withdrawn
from Mexico, the American delegates are
considering a compromise plan of solv-
Ing the border question.
1t provides that in case the American
troops are brought back to the United
States Carranza will be held entirely re-
sponsible for the protection of the from
tier.
1t will then become the duty of the
First Chief to concentrate troops along
the international line. where such ban
dts as Villa have threatened to break
through. and patrol other sections with
rurales organized like the Canadian
mounted police -rs .fs 1"@--
Another condition that Will be imposed
on Mexico. according to this plan, is
that the United States officials cooper
ate with the Mexican authorities in carry
ing out Carranza's promised reforms.
The American delegates are convinced
that it is useless to talk about any set
tlement of the border questions until the
underlying evils of Mexican political and
economic life are eliminated.
Although Carranza insists that he is
able to regenerate Mexico, the Americans
entertain most serious doubts.
They are unable to understand how he
can perform this herculean task without
the assistance of this government

hours.
The French. after two days OF com
parative rest, resumed their drive soufs
Of the Somme this afternoon.
They captured the greater part Of ths

portions OF which they have he'd foi
more than a week
Tonight the Germans were holdinF out
only in isolated places Of the two VII.

The days fighting put the French m
possession Of the whole ground between
the VermandOvillers and Deniecourt--
Berry sectors.
At Deniecourt, the Germans are stu
desperately defending every inch Of
ground. but the two tips Of the southern

pletely crushed in.

FIRENEN MAY Hold
GAMES OF Their own
Success of Police Field Day Acts
as Spur.

Following the marked success of the
police games held Saturday, a number
OF officials yesterday showed a desire to
promote a similar meet for the fire de-
partment
1T might be possible" SAYS Commits
sioner Louis Brownlow, TO arrange such
games on a smaller scale, for although
the fire department is not so large as the
police department, the number of entries
could be curtailed without seriously af-
fecting the success Of the games. The
city was amply protected Saturday
when about two-sevenths Of the police
were engaged in the meet as the police
records will show. and it might be possi-
bic to spare enough frmen to make quite
a creditable showing without seriously
affecting the city's protection"
Chief Wagner, Of the fire department,
also believes that something may be done
along these lines in the future. He says
in the past the firemen have held many
affairs of a social nature and that no
serious effects had resulted. The games
may be staged should enough interest be
shown among the fremen to warrant 1t. I"
There are a number Of very clever
athletes listed among the fre laddies,
some OF whom are the holders of medals
as prizes for participation in various ath-
letic events. and should the games be
arranged, they can be depended upon to
make a creditable showing
The marked ability shown by the police
I'm the games Saturday will probably lead
toward the formation of a permanent
athletic association in the department
with the erection Of police gymnasium
In some central location
Should such an organization take place.
It will probably start from the office Of
the chief Of police, Maj. Pullman, who
was very much pleased by the showing
