Argentine Watching
the Situation Between
America and Mexico

BuenOs Aires, Argentine, Dec. s.
While the rumors of an offer of
mediation by the A. h. C. powers
(Argentina, Brazil and Chile) to
settle the difficulties between the
United States and Mexico lack con-
flrmation. it is known that the Ar
gentine government is closely watch
ing the situation and that the
foreign office is keeping fully in
formed of the developments through
the Argentine envoys in Washington
and Mexico City. 1t is much ques-
toned in diplomatic circles whether,
If action towards mediation is to be
taken by. any of the South American
governments, it should be joint ac-
ton by the A. B. c. powers, mas
much as the proposal for an a. b.
C. accord which followed the Nj
agara Falls conference of 1914 has
never been ratified and it is not be-
lieved that this principle could now
be appropriately invoked.

American concerns operating in

their American employees out of
Mexico, In some cases the definite
instructions were. given for i'm

employers from Mexico,
Names af these companies were

pioyes in quitting the southern re-
public.
DaHSew 20 Americans in Mexico,
should diDiematie relations between
tha two countries be broken off, has
been seriously discussed on the
border in connection with the
JsBkins ease. 1t was felt that an
order from the government such as
was issued by President Taft in 1912
ordering Americans to quit Mexico,
would create an ill-feeling south of
tbs border and might cause blood
shed,
Fhs pFetiSR aS getting the Ameri-
cans out OF Esxica should diplo-
matte relations be broken, would be
a difficult One, according TO their
employers. for they are scattered
throughout tbs couRtry and many
are great distances from railroads
and Telegraph lines,
CompaR Riss preparing to get their
employees home hesitated to-day to
permit publication of their inten-
tions. ThsH 1t was decided that the
situation appeared so critical that
notice OF their action might point
the way to safety to other Ameri-
cans in the interior.
Should resolution breaking off
relations be passed, it was said that
there would be a general exodus of
Americans to the United States.

Cummins Charges
Misrepresentation of
His Railroad Bill

Washington, Dec. 5.-After speak
ing three days, Senator Cummins,
chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Committee, concluded late
yesterday Il detailed explanation of
his railroad bill, designed to meet
conditions with the return of the
roads to private ownership and con-
troll.
Discussing the anti-strike proyi-
sion of the measure, as proposed by
the committee, Senator Cummins de-
clared there had been an indus
trious effort to misrepresent the
bill" He denied that it interfered
in any way with railway employees
or officials who desired to quit work.
Emphasizing that he was not op-
posed to labor organizations, Sem
ator Cummins said the committee,
in inserting the anti strike section felt
that the civilization of America
cannot continue or endure unless
organized society can find some plan
to preserve industrial peace and or
der" President Wilson's message
to Congress Tuesday, he declared,
was a direct endorsement of the pro-
posed legislation.

CONQUERING THE
POTATO WART
Conference Brings Out Effec-
tive Measures of Protection
and Eradication

Washington, Dec. 8. - Reports
cials from West Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania, and Maryland with the Fed
eral Horticultural Board of the
United States Department OF Agri-
culture, called to consider the status
of the potato wart disease. show that
there has been only a slight spread
of this recently discovered menace to
the potato industry OF America. and
that by planting immune varieties
further losses from the disease can
be practically eliminated. The po-
tato wart Is one OF the most destruc-
tive maladies attacking potato crops
in Europe, and heretofore no means
has been known for eradicating it
from the soil, once n garden or a
field became infected. Not only have
the investigators for the United
States Department OF Agriculture
found varieties of potatoes which are
immune, but they have devised Il
method of thoroughly disinfecting
the soil by the use of steam and
formalydehyde.
As n result OF the conference in
Washington, it is announced that the
'7th'e dulioiiiieb oI west virginia
and Pennsylvania will take steps to
assist gardeners in the infected
regions in the purchase of varieties
of seed known to be immune. 1T
may be found advisable, also, 10 un-
dertake the disinfection of q limited
number of garden plots. As the cost
of this work is approximately $1,000
an acre, the efforts along this line
Will be limited until the most eff
fective and economical methods have
been discovered.

SERUM OF HORSES
GIVEN HOSPITALS
Used For Treatment of Men
ingitis, Pneumonia and
DySentery

New York, Dec. 5.-One of the

treatment of meningitis, pneumonia
and dysentery, according to the re-
port on war activities of the Rookie
feller Institute for Medical Research

At the time of the signing of the

diseases named was at its height.
The number of doses supplied in
creased from 5000 in 1917 to 25,OoC
in 1918 and it was estimated that
the output for the first three months
of this year far exceeded the ehtire
output for 1918.
The total of 2,035 bottles of serum
was sent during the year to the

FAST WORK ON
FOUR FAST CARS
SETS new RECORD

The inside story Of one Of the most
marvellous achievements In sporting his

days of the Ballot racing cars. piloted
hy four Of Europe's most famous stars,
Rene Thomas, Paul Ballot. Albert Guyot

Soo.mile Liberty sweepstakes on MAY
II, is now made public for the first
time.
On. Dec, "a, 1918. Thomas, who, II
will he remembered, won the 1ndianap-
Oils race N 1914, submitted n proposal
to the Ballot company, n firm Of
wealthy Paris engine manufacturers, to
build a set of four cars especially for
the American classic; ON Dec. % the
contract was signed and on Dec. 26
the work Of designing the cars began
under the supervision Of Ernest Henry,
who created the French Peugcots.
When the Ballot organization was
approached with the problem Of build
ing -four racing airs in the four months
that remained NTH the time that IL
would be necessary TO ship them In
order to make tho Indianapolis race,
the feat was declared impossible. The
men were tired of working under pres
sure. after four years of war strain,
and declared they had no stomach for
the attempt, once the work had started.
however, the entire factory ~organiza-
ton took up the task with a new en-
| hilhSitNif hih "tl Ntu uhN anu nlRnt
until IL was done. The four cars cost
100000 to build, It is said.
lnnumerable difficulties were over
come to get the necessary materials
for the cars, the cooperation of the
French government being enlisted in
several instances to get results, as, for
Instance, in the procuring of certain
high grades Of steel that were under
exclusive contract to the government
Tor the manufacture of munitions, When
the cars were completed the aid of
the government was again enlisted to
secure the necessary shipping space
aboard q steamer bound for the United
States,
During the entire time that the Bal
lot cars were under construction no
word of their existence was allowed to
leak out to the outside world, for fear
that a mishap in one OF tho infinite
details required for their completion
would prevent their appearance In ac-
tive competition, So complete were the
precautions adopted that the drivers OF
the cars, other than Thomas, were not
engaged until two weeks before the
shipping date nor were tho mechani.
clans, The work Of production was sue
cessfully brought TO conclusion without
a single accident, however, and the cars
made ready for shipment on schedule
time.
In their road tests the cars proved
themselves much faster than had orig.
tnallS been anticipated.

They represent by far the largest

The burden of the farmer has been
