JUAREZ, Mex, Nov 3.-A propa- sanda favoring neutrality for Mexico in the European war is being circulated by the Germans in Mexico City in order to cOunteract the efforts of General Pablo Gonzales and others to have Mexico declare in favor of the entente allies against Germany.
 Copies of Fl Democrata of Mexico City. and Fl Heraldo Del Norte of Chi huahua City, received here contain long comments on General Francisco Murguia's recent declarations in favor that "one hundred thousand men would have to be sent to Europe should Mex ico join the allies" Both of these newspapers are believed here to be subsidized by the German agents in Mexico.
 A special dispatch from Mexico City to Fl Heraldo Del Norte tells of the statement of General Murguia being published in all newspapers and also posted on the dead walls of every street of the capital The same paper also printed d dispatch from the cap ital city telling of President Carranza's s statement to a delegation of citizens in which he is said to have declared that the government under his charge would maintain the strictest neutrality and oppose the alliance of Mexico with any other belligerent nations" This was also given the widest circulation, the paper stated
 General Murguia's neutrality inter view was reprinted in both news papers. Fl Democrata admitting having had the interview printed in poster

CONTROL IF FOODSTUFFS
 |S OUTLINED
Republican A.. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Nov 3.-Regula- tions governing the handling Of food stuffs under the licensing of manufac- turers and dealers were approved by President Wilson today and will be put into operation by the food administra- ton immediately The principal ob- jects of the rules the food administra- ton statement today sets forth are:
 "To limit the prices charged by every licensee to a reasonable amount over expenses and to forbid the acquisition of speculative profits from a rising market
 "To keep all food commodities nov ing to the consumer in as direct line as possible and with as little delay.
 ITO limit as far as practicable con- tracts for future delivery and to curb dealings in future contracts
 sThe announcement continues: "Un- der the food control act in addition to the power to prOmulgate rules, the president is given broad powers to deal with individual cases This power will be freely exercised to accomplish the three purposes set out above. If every licensee will make these purposes the cardinal principles of his business and obey the law and the regulations he will be free from interference by the government. Violation is cause for re- voking any license, as well as subject ing the offender to such criminal pen alties as may be prescribed"
 There are a large number of general rules governing all licenses together with additional special regulations for various trades in which there are spe- cial conditions, or special abuses to be overcome.
 Elimination of excessive prices charged by small retailers who are not subject to license will be accomplished by a rule forbidding licensees to sell | foods to any person who charges ex- 1 cessive profits.
 An important rule provides that nc i licensee shall import manufacture, store, distribute sell or otherwise 1 handle any food commodities on ar unjust, eXhOrbitant. unreasonable dis criminatory or unfair profit or stor- age charge

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The south western coal miners representatives, ,lefied Fuel Administrator Garfield here today and refused to agree to the insertion in a new wage contract of provisions penalizing strikes and lock outs
 After a secret meeting this morning, the miners abruptly broke off negoti- sitions with Dr. Garfield and the op- orators representatives and left for their homes this afternoon, announcing they would call a general convention of southwestern miners to meet in Kan Sas City on Nov F to discuss the sit nation.
 Fuel administration officials see pos abilities that the situation may de- Velon seriously. Sixty mines now are idle in Kansas and miners throughout the four ttates invOlved-Kansas, Okla iloma, Arkansas and Missouri-are threatening to strike unless they are Siven immediate wage increases.
 No contracts granting wage increase will he approved by the government, D-- Garfield insists. unless penalty clauses are inserted. Further. Dr. Garfield will not apply to the southwest ihe recent A cents a ton raise in coal prices which was designed to absorb wage increases. unless the miners come to terms.
 I can stand absolutely firm" Garfield said tonight. The penalty clause must be put in exactly as indicated. I have nothing to add to that"
 Operators representatives said to- night they would agree to any kind of a penalty provision Garfield demanded The wage increase they had agreed to give to the men. they said, could not be advanced unless the mines received the 45 cents increase in coal prices
 Wage increases sought by the south western miners are based on increases agreed on recently by operators and union heads in the central competitive field. The central field contract con- tains provisions for automatic penal ties and was approved by Garfield who recommended to President Wilson the 45 cent coal price increases. Under the penalty provision miners who strike without cause would be fined one dol lar day each. and operators locking men out without cause would pay a fine of two dollars for each man not working
 The current southwestern contract provides fifty cent fine for men re- using to work but the clause is so Norded. it is claimed that collection is impossible
 Miners who struck recently in IlG- nois fields were told by Garfield that if they did not go back to work immed- lately. the government would use the f1iii powers of the law to insure the maximum coal production. Dr. Gar field would not say tonight what ac- lion he would take if the Kansas min CTS stay out but it is known that he mas consulted with President Wilson and Attorney General Gregory and is 'Hady to act If, in his opinion, the oc- 'asion demands drastic measures Re ports today to the fuel administration said that in many parts of Kansas. the

The Captains Statement
An Eye Witness

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 3.-Two Dan- ish steamers that witnessed the en- gagement arrived tonight with twenty one survivors of the crew of the Ger man raider Crocodile. The fate of the remainder of the crews of the traWlers is not known.
 One of the Danish sailors gave the following account of the incident:
 On Thursday night at 10 o'clock tor pedo boats of undetermined national ity were passed by the steamer on which the narrator was a seaman. At o'clock this morning, cannonading was heard. Shortly afterward British destroyers steamed by, bound west ward A little while later British de- stroyers were sighted firing westward at five German armed trawlers which were burning fiercely. There were no signs of life on board All of them sank in sight of the Danes Fifteen minutes later they passed the Crocodile which was likewise aflame and soon sank.
 The steamer cruised about and found a single survivor, clinging to a plank and d blood stained empty yawl from the Crocodile. The survivor was too exhausted to give coherent account of the hattle but said that the VaWl had

of the national army. On the eligible list will be placed men who are above the rank to which their show ing at the comps entitled them. As there is no provision for an active national army commission, they will be put on an eligible list and will he commissioned in the national amy when their services are needed.
 It is expected that there will be only small number of such men.
 Not all of the men commissioned when the camps close will be called to service immediately. Many of them, particularly, the lieutenants, may not be called to active service until the second 500,000 men of the national army are organized.
 Officers in charge of the camps are selecting 1000 men between 21 and 27 years of age for commissions as provisional second lieutenants in the regular army. They will be attached to regular regiments for additional training and will be given provision al commissions in their grade in the regiments as vacancies occur, the commissions to be confirmed if they make good in active service.
 After these 1000 are selected the men remaining will be considered for the signal corps and ordnance bureaus, which are in need of ad ditional officers. These selected prob ably will be called out immediately. Virtually all of the majors and many of the captains of the line com missioned when the camps close VIII be needed immediately. There are indications of a shortage of reserves in this grade, which may make it necessary to reopen the army to civil ians generally if officers casualties prove as heavy as is to be eN- pected.
