OF MEXICOOI
MATTER SOON
Differences As to Subso1
Rights May Be Ami
cably Settled.

Differences between Mexico and
the United States arising over the
constitutional claims of the former
to certain governmental rights IN
the oil fields are In o fair way "a
being amicably adjusted, according
to prominent attorneys for Amerf-
night to resume conversations with
Mexican ofncials at Mexico City.
For several months the situation
has been q delicate one. and little
comment on the progress being
made by the American interests has
been vouchsafed. For some time
James R Garfield. q brother Of the
United States Fuel Administrator.
and Nelson o. Rhodes. representing
the larger Mexican OIL properties
controlled by Americans have been
in conference with Mexican ofictals
in Mexico City.
Chief Censiderstions.
The two chief issues under con-
sideratlon were:
/. The contention Of Mexico that
by constitutional enactment it has
the power to take over the subsoil
2. The recent new oil export tax.
which owners Of the oil properties
alleged was confscatory.
1t has been urged by American
students of international law that
were Mexico to enforce her claims
to the subsoil rights, such action
would place in jeopardy great in
vestments made by Americans in
developing the Mexican oil regions
For the land owned by the Ameri-
cans is valuable only for the OIL
products. which would be controlled
by any one holding the subsoil
rights.
It is understood that the Ameri-
can interests advocate that the
Mexican government enforce its
new law against only those proper
ties purchased or developed since
May. 1917. at which time the Mexi-
can government made known its
proposal
Recently the conferences had reach
ed q stage which permitted Mr.
Rhodes and Mr.. Garfield to return
to the United States and confer with
various officials relative to the coun-
ter proposals Of the Mexican gov
ernment Although both of the rep
resentatives believe that the time has
not come for q public discussion of
the Questions raised by this country
and Mexico, they agree that they
feel encouraged to believe a happy
conclusion to negotiations may be ex-
pected within two months.
Mr.. Rhodes said, ''of course, the
situation Is of such a delicate nature
that little can be said In relation TO
1t at present Mr.. Garfield and my
self were very Hospitality received in
Mexico City and were accorded every
opportunity TO present the case as II
Is viewed by the interests we repre-
sent.
May Conclude Matters Soon
"Of course, It is too early for any
one to hazard an opinion as TO the
outcome Of our mission, but we are
returning 10 Mexico City hopeful that
an adjustment can be reached In
fact. 1t Is possible that We can con-
clude matters within two months ''
When asked II any discussions had
taken place relative to the exporta-
ton Of silver and copper from Mex
leo to the United States, with q re-
turn shipment by the latter Of corn.
Mr.. Rhodes said. ''Of course, In dis
cussing the trade relation of any
country in one product II is natural
that questions Of trade in other prod
ucts should arise. All trade Is inter
related In a greater or lesser degree

WILSON ONLY PEACE HOPE.
Eranl>furter Zcitung Says European
 Entente Cuts Little Figure.

Amsterdam. March 5.-The Frank furter Zeitung, commenting on ths recent speech of Arthur J. Balfour, the British foreign secretary, says:
 Tho decision as to whether the war, with all it's horrors, shall con- tinue or preliminary discussions re- garding the possibility of peace shaN begin depends today more on Presi- dent Wilson than on the governments of the European Entente.'
 The newspaper finds some parts of Mir Balfour's speech deserving of consideration and regards it's mod- cratn tone as q welcome sign. It con- tends that the demand for the evacu- ation of Belgium and reparation ill the case that that country should be acceded to only if the Entente is able to force Germany out of Belgium.
 MT. Balfour ought to know" it adds. that the maximum concessions of both sides can be reached only by negotiations.'

WIRELESS OUTFIT IN TOWER.
Federal Agents Seize Powerful Jnstru-
 ment on Broadway.

New York, March 5.-A wireless outfit, which it was said yesterday was powerful enough to communicate across the Atlantic Ocean, was dis covered in the tower of the office building at Ill Broadway on Sunday by agents of the federal government. The apparatus, it was stated last night, was found in that part of the tower where the Telefunken Wireless Company, probably the best-known of German radio corporations, was at one time the tenant This company built the great transatlantic receiving and sending station at SayNlle, l.. l., which was seized by the government shortly after the outbreak of the war in 1914.
 The outfit found in the Broadway
 building was in charge of q man named Richard Pfund, who, prior to
 the war, is said to have been the manager of the Telefunken station at Sayville. Pfund is not under arrest, and states that he is doing certain
 work for the government, the nature of which has not been disclosed.
 Since 1913, the year in which he sev- cred his connection with the Tele- funl<en Company, Pfund has con- ducted an experimental laboratory in the four rooms formerly occupied by the wireless company.
 The government agents received in- formation about a week ago con- cerning the wireless plant at Ill Broadway United States Marshal [ Thomas D. Mccarthy, Captain F. A. Houghton, U. s. A, of the army in- telligence service, and several other federal officers went to the building on Sunday, and. going to the tower demanded entrance to the room where the wireless outfit was. Pfund was in the room at the time and at first refused to admit Mccarthy and the other officials on the ground that he was doing work for the United States navy

SHIFT IN ARGENTINA.
0""'h American Country to Assume
 Active Role in War.

.huenos Aires, March 5.-Obviously oh'c1ally inspired articles in the nows- papefs indicate that Argentina is on 'ne eve of a radical change in front . a9 regards the world war. These ar 'ie'es' however, do not make clear " "ether a rupture with Germany is eo oe brought about or whether Ar seht1na' s efforts will be confined prihcipally to the purchase and ship pihg or supplies to the Allies. The sehef2l belief is that any change on 'he part of Argentina VIII be an eco-
 'oliAlc and not a political one The newspapers argue that Argentina cannot aid the Allies with men, but tnile she can do so with supplies. The government IS now treating with Anaerlcan and British diplomats for a treaty covering meat shipments, similar to the recently signed cereal convention.
 The vote in the congressional clec- uon has not yet been counted, but the leaders of President Irigoyon's party say that the president will have firm majority in congress.

BULGAR MINISTER
 LEAVES CAPITAL
Break May Follow Departure From Washington--No Reason Known
 For Act

Washington, March 5.--Ti1e de- parture of Stephen Panaretol, the Bulgarian Minister, from Washington ostensibiy for a vacation in Florida, is looked upon in some quarters in Washington as a forerunner of the severance of diplomatic relations with his Government.
 It was recalled that the Turkish Charge d'Affairs left in a somewhat similar fashion. So far as is known. the Bulgarian Minister has engaged in no practices to which the United States Government has taken eScep ton.
 In the last issue of The World l Court Magazine Minister PsIuaretoff ! quoted President Wilson in defense of
 BuHyarIa's attitude toward the Pal ! kan problem, saying:
 1 "It is to be hoped that the era of l handing people about from sover- 1 eighty to sovereignty as if they were
 property or of dfsregarding fhistor- l ically established lines of allegiance
 and nationality is passed. The prin-
 ciple of nationality is the only raticn-
 al way of settling the Balkan quos-
 ton and eliminating any cause fir f>i ] ture strife and quarrels.
 s'Tf the just and rightful demands 1 of the Balkan States relating to the l peninsula are satisfied on that prn- l ciple, in accordance with the wishes ! of the people and actual facts attest l ed by official and international acts, tho inaportance of which cannot be 1 denied then peace will be established 1 in that part of the world, and the l wav paved for a better understand l Ing and closer union among the Bal 1 kan peoples, wherein their free and 1 peaceful development, their welfare, 1 and prosperity lie.'
 l The Minister also said:
 'Tn the settlement of the Balkan question historical rights or preten-
 sions that go back to pre-Cnristlan l or rnediaeval times can have TO 1 place. It is no more reasonable Tor ] the Creeks or t<c Serbians to claim
 Macedonia today as Greek or Serbian
 because Aristotle was born there or 1 Byzantine rule prevailed off and on
 before the Turks conquest, or be l cause Serbian rule at some time or other in the Middle Ages extended ! over 1t, than it would be reasonable 1 from the Ruigarians to claim Fpirus ThesSaly. Belgrade, Albania, or it's
 sea coast because these regions a-t 1 certain periods of their history were ] comprised within the nlediaevau l kingdom of Bulgaria"
