SUGGESTS RECIPROCAL
BORDER GUARD
Secretary Cabrera of Mexico Thinks That
Would Be Step Toward Prevent
ing Clashes Between United
States and Mexico.

Mexico City, Friday, Aug 22.--Luis
Cabrera, secretary Of the treasury, stat.
ed in an interview that the Mexican and
American governments should reach an
agreement for a reciprocal border guard
service as a step toward preventing
clashes between the two countries
Yagnio Bonillas, Mexican ambassador
at Washington, according to Senior Ca
brera, would be "eminently fitted" for
conducting negotiations with this object.
The difficulties which prevented the
adoption of such an agreement at Allan
tic City in 1916 were due to the fact that
the American delegation wanted the
agreement signed Immediately, he said,
while the Mexican commission held out
for withdrawal of the Pershing expe-
dition before reaching an agreement.
Senior Cabrera pointed out that at pres
ent such a difficulty would not be met
with, since the early withdrawal of the
sth cavalry, now pursuing bandits in the
state of chihuahua, was expected

THREATS TO HOARDERS

Thousands of Pounds Have Already Been
Released for Consumption in New
York After Jail Sentences
Had Been Promised.

New York, Aug 90. - Thousands of
pounds of food stored in New York City
have been released for consumption re-
Gently after agents of the United States
attorneys office had threatened the own
ers with Jail sentences, If they continued
to hold the goods, it was learned to-day.
Earl B. Barnes, assistant district attor-
ney, said his office preferred to circulate
food, rather than to prosecute hoarders
and profteers, but dealers who refused
to release food held for higher prices
would be vigorously prosecuted.
The sale Of surplus army foodstuffs at
city school buildings has far exceeded
expectations. Experts estimate that co.
100000 pounds of food win be sold dur
ing the course of the sales here Army
bacon has been the article most in de.
mand. About % per cent Of the purchas-
ers have been women.

RUMANIA HOLDS OUT
On Signing of the Treaty with Austria
on Minorities Guarantees.

Paris, Thursday, Aug. 2l.-Rumania' s
signature to the treaty of peace with
Austria still depends upon notifications
of the clauses relating to guarantees to
minorities, according to the information
from. authoritative Rumanian sources.
paris advises Friday said the Austrian
treaty had been completed and will be
transmitted to the Austrians Monday.)
The Rumanians point out that by
royal decrees which will be approved by
the new Chamber of Deputies to be
elected in September, minorities, not
only in the new territory attached to
Rumania, bu in the old kingdom, have
been more amply protected than the
peace treaty provides Rumania, how
ever, does not desire to have forced upon
her, it is said, provisions which it is
feared would be interpreted by the mi
norities as giving them really the upper
hand.

THREATEN A TIE-UP OF
NEW HAVEN R.R. SYSTEM
If NON-U!NzON MEN USED
CRUCIAL DAYS JUST
AHEAD FOR KOLCHAK
If He Survives the Strain of 80 Days
1t Is Possible That His Government
in Russia Will Triumph and Boil
sheviki Will Subside

Washington, D. G., Aug 23--Ambas'
sador Morris, who was sent by the state
department from Toxic to 0msk to re.
port on conditions in Siberia has ad
vised the government here that the next
thirty days probably will see a crisis in
the affairs of the Kolchak government
He reported that Admiral Kolchak has
had to devote so much attention to the
military campaign against the bolshe'
vik that he has been unable to organ
ize sufficiently the civil government anc
administration in Siberia to keep the
people contented. Nevertheless, he add
ed, Kolchak is the best man for the
task confronting him and that it is q
question of his success or the triumph
of the bolshevik.
Lack of material aid from the allies
has been tremendous handicap fol
Kolchak, the report states and has led
to friction between the military com
manders of the Kolchak forces.
Military authorities in Paris and here
however, agree that the bolshevik are
making their last desperate effort against
the Kolchak troops and if they fail thi:
time the soviet government in Russia
will collapse.
Recognition of the Kolchak govern,
ment, il it succeeds in surviving the next
30 days, has been urged by Ambassa'
dor Morris, it y understood. To make
this recognition effective, the <ambassa'
dor has urged that this government, il
is understood, De ready to assist in the
negotiation of loans for the Siberian
government and dispatch additional
arms and ammunitions and later food
and clothing.

CARRANZA PLANNING
TO CONFISCATE OIL
PROPERTY OF ALIENS
Officials of United States Government
Are Somewhat Disturbed by the
Apparent Determination
of Mexico.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 23.-0fficials
here are somewhat disturbed by an APP
parent determination on the part of Car
rama and his official advisers in Mexico
City to confscate the oil property OF
foreigners, including Americans, in spite
of the protests lodged with the Mexican
government by all the nations whose ma
tionals have investments in Mexico. This
is borne out by the following official
statement recently made by Ing f. Vas
quez Schiaffino, chief of the petroleum
bureau Of the department of industry,
commerce and labor:
'The steps taken by the petroleum
bureau have followed program whose
main points may be summarized as fol-
lows: To engage in a work of propa-
ganda and diffusion of all data relating
to the petroleum industry, so as to in
terest national capital and to invite the
attention Of Mexican industrials, profes-
sional men and workmen in order that
they may play an active and important
part in the development of this industry,
making it in short time IN essentially
and genuinely Mexican industry"
This official statement, which it is be-
lieved here was inspired by Carranza,
coupled with the advice of Luis Cabrara,
secretary Of the treasury, urging the
supreme court TO be in no hurry in con
sidering the petroleum questions now be-
fore it, has reported great interest in
industrial circles. The petroleum cases
now before the Mexican supreme court
are there on the insistence Of the Ameri-
can state department, which asked the
American oil companies to inform all
the requirements of the Mexican law
step by step, from the lowest courts
to the highest courts in the land.
The opinion of all classes in Mexico, as
reported in the Mexico City newspapers
and transmitted TO the state depart
ment, is for prompt and correct settle
ment of the petroleum question, which
has been declared to be the key to rels-
tions between the United States and
Mexico
Newspapers and citizens, according to
reports to the state department, urge
that because of the recognized danger Of
Intervention Mexico at least protect for
eign investments, even if she cannot stop
the murder of foreign citizens.
Don Carlos Dufco, the eminent Mexi-
can economist, asserts that foreign capi.
tai is absolutely necessary TO the devel-
opment OF Meyico's resources, because
Mexicans have not the capital to put
into the extensive enterprises and would
not invest il If they had it.
