NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL
 FOR NANONAL DEFENSE Has Been Established by the National
 Academy of Sciences.

New York, July 27.-Announcement was made today by the National Acad- emy of Sciences of the establishment of the National Research Council, an organization of the scientific authori-
 ties of educational and research in stitUtiOns of the country in the inter ests of national defense, an idea which the Academy recently submitted to President Wilson and which received his immediate approval.
 "The purpose of the council" says the announcement lis to bring into cooperation existing governmental ed uCatiOnal,. industrial and other re-
 search organizations with the object of encouraging the investigation of natural phenomena, the increased use ] of scientific research in the develop ment of American industries, the em- DI0yment of scientific methods in strengthening the national defense, and such other applications of science
 as will promote the national security and welfare.
 "The council will be composed of
 leading American investigators and engineers, representing the Army,
 Navy Smithsonian Institution and va
 riOuS scientific bureaus of the govern
 ment; educational institutions and re- search foundations; and the research laboratories of industrial and manu-
 featuring establishments.
 Committees already at work in
 cIude those on nitric acid supply, pre-
 Ventive medicine, dyestuffs, and other
 chemicals rendered scarce by the war,
 and means of communication for mill
 itaTy and other purposes.
 "The council will prepare a national census of scientific investigators and
 equipment for research in govern
 ment bureaus, educational institutions,
 research foundations and industrial research laboratories, and will utilize
 @ variety of means for promoting sci entiic research in all branches of pure and applied science.
 "The cooperation of many research institutions is already assured. As
 an example of active assistance, Throop College of Technology in Pas adena, California, has offered the full
 est use of it's research facilities and in connection with this work has
 raised an additional research endow-
 ment fund of one hundred thousand dollars. Other institutions are equal
 ly interested. The Engineering Foun- dation, under the auspices of the United Engineering Societies, has
 voted to cooperate with the council
 and to contribute largely toward the
 expense of its work of organization. President Wilson has also written to
 express his full approval Of the plans
 of the council and his assurance of
 the support and cooperation of the government departments"

THERE WILL BE NO
 APPEAL FOR BASEMENT. British Court Meets, But Defense Had Abandoned Idea of Action.

London, July 28, 12.1O D. m.-When the court of criminal appeal met today to hear "a possible application" in be- half of Roger Easement, who was sen- fenced to death for treason in cOnnec- t1on with the recent Dublin uprising, it was found that the defense had abandoned any contemplated action.
 It was disclosed, however that some body connected wit hthe defense had informed the kings coroner of a wish to reopen argument of a point aban- doned by Alexander Sullivan, Case ments counsel, in the appeal court, when questioning Lord Readings in depreciation of the law In his summing up, or the ground that MT Sullivan had no authority to withdraw the point mentioned
 Justice Darling said it could hardly be alleged with anything approaching plausibility that MT. Sullivan had not authority to do what he did, and he added that, despite MT. SulliVan's ac- ton, the court had considered the point and, if it had thought it necessary, it would have called on the attorney gen. enarl to answer it. The court came to the same conclusion as did MT. Sullivan-that there was nothing in the point.
 Arthur Powell, who had been en- gagged to argue the appeal in the house of lords if the attorney generals fat had been obtained, said the prisoners counsel never had intended to make the application, and that the court had been so informed two days ago.

diaIity in which 1t is made. This government believes and suggests, however that the powers of the pro- posed commission should be enlarged so, that if happily a solution satisfac- tory to both governments of the Ques- ton set forth in Your EXcellency' 5 communication may be raised, the commission may also consider such other matters the friendly arrange ment of which would tend to improve the relations of the two cOuntries; it being understood that such recom- mendatiOns as the commission may make shall not be binding upon the resDeQtive governments until form ally accepted by them.
 Will Proceed Immediately.
 Should this proposal be accepted by Your EXcellenCy'S government have the honor to state that this govern ment will proceed immediately to ap- point it's commissioners and TX; alter consultation with Your Excellency's government, the time and place and other details of the proposed confer ences.
 Accept, MT. Secretary, the assur- Rnces of my highest consideration.
 FRANK L. POLK,
 Acting Secretary of State" Appointments When Carranza Re-
 plies.
 Appointment of the American com n1issioners will await General Car ranza's reply. If he approves the suggestion that the scope of the com missiOn's deliberations be enlarged as desired by the United States it is eI- pected his note will be accompanied by authorization to MT. Arredondo to confer with MT. Polk as to the time and place of the meeting.
 Men Mentioned for Appointment.
 President Wilson is understood to have at least a score of men under consideration for appointment as con- nissioners Among them are Chief Justice White, Major General G0e- thaIs, former governor of the Canal Zone; Frederick Lehman, former sOli- citor- general, and Louis D. Brandeis, associate justice of the supreme court. It was stated authOritatiVely tonight that the president had not attempted as yet to make any selections.
 Unofficial information from Mexico City has been to the effect that Luis Cabrera, Mexican minister of fnapce, would head the Mexican membership of the commission. Neither the state department nor MT ArredOndO, how ever. has official information on that point.
 Reply Not Expected for Several Days.
 General Carranza's reply is not ex- pected for several days, and officials here do not believe the commission can begin sessions for two weeks at least. The state department will in sist that the meeting place be within the United States as the question is not one of mediation which would re- quire a neutral setting.

mission is viewed in administration circles as an extremely important as pect of the situation. It is through an exchange of ideas on the whole MeXi- can problem that it is hoped a way may be found to furnish constructive aid to the de facto government in the financial and economic problems with which it is surrounded. It has been suggested that American bankers might be urged to go to the aid of the conditions. Neither American nor Mexican officials here have been will ing to discuss the possibility, however, and it appears certain the adninistra- ton has no present plan of that na- tUre.
 10000 carranza Troops Closing in on
 Villa.
 Mr. Arredondo issued today a sum- mary of his advices from Mexico City, saying that 10000 Carranza troops were closing in on Villa and his fol- lowers in southern Chihuahua, and that destruction of the bandit com mand was certain. It is the first off, cial Mexican admission that Villa still is alive. The state and war depart ments have no positive information on this point and officials differ in their opinions. Following is MT. ArredOn- dos stattment:
 The Mexican embassy has been in- formed by cable from Mexico City that high military officials of the govern ment now assert that now with a cor don of 10000 men closing around him and determined on his capture Villa at last may truthfully said to be in imminent danger of elimination from the general problem of Mexican poli- tics"
 Development of Cotton.
 ''The same cable conveys the infor- nation that the department of agri- culture has taken in hand the develop ment of the state of Guerrero as a cotton producing area. In times gone by cotton has been planted on a small scale in Guerrero and it is found that it grows we'll and the climate is com pletely suitable to it. With the view to making Guerrero a great cotton pro- ducing district, 15,O00 acres of land have been appropriated and the gov ernment has shipped in fifty tons of COttOnseed.
 General Lopez de Lara, governor of the Federal district, has ordered all superintendents of plantations in the trritory under his command to dis tribute all lands of an agricultural character not at present under Culti- vation to the neighboring farmers. Or ders of a similar character have been issued throughout the other states of the republic"
