TREATY TEST TUESDAY.
Both Sides Ready For White House
Quiz Of President.

Washing ton. Aug. lS.-E:verythinS
is in readiness here for the duel or
wits at the White House Tuesday,
when the members of the senate for
eisn committee will question the pres
idcnt on the peace treaty, with stenog-
raphers present to take down the pro-
ceedings for publication.
The republicans of the committee
have outlined tentatively their plan
of action. and President Wilson is
understood to have done the same.
With one or two possible eXcep-
tions. it was learned yesterday the
senator's will proceed to the. White
House without having prepared any
questions in advance.
So sincere is their search for en-
lightenment, according to the view
taken. that there will be no hesitancy
in asking questions, for certain ques-
tions have been burned indelibly in
their minds ever since the treaty and
the league covenant were presented
to them by the president.
Possibly no other event in the past
six months has caused such a stir IN
diplomatic circles here. II there mas
been a reaction in the feelings of for
eigners here a bad impression. 1t Is

Washington, Aug. 1S.--The action OF
Carranza in virtually deporting the
representative Of the British govern
ment in Mexico has added n new COM
plication to the Mexican mudde. the
results of which will be watched with
interest by all nations whose nationals
have been suffering from the instahil-
ity of government south of the Rio
Grande.
1t is expected that England. now
that the world war is over, will take
up the question Of obtaining protec7
ton for British interests In Mexico
and in so doing will come into colli-
iion with Carranza, whom the British
government never has recognized.
II Great Britain should contemplate
taking forceful measures for bringing
Carranza to time it is not doubtc d
that it would ask the consent of the
United States in Difference to the Mon
roe doctrine or at least appeal to the
United States to take such steps as
would procure protection and respect
for the interests Of British subjects in
Mexico.
At the Paris peace conference both
England and France discussed the
Mexican question with President Will
son and the latter is said to have given
assurances of adopting a more Wig
orous policy In dealing with Carran-
"a.
The first evidence Of fulf1llment of
this promise is the presidents note OF
July % threatening Carranza with a
radical change of policy unless Ameri-
can lives and property were protected
Unless the situation mertls mater
ially Great Britain. it is not doubted,
will not hesitate to bring Mexico be-

Washington, Aug. ls.-Business SEN
timent in the United States is unani-
nous that government ownership of
railroads must not prevail, Charles A.
Post, chairman Of the railroad com
mittee of the United States Chamber
Of Commerce told the house interstate
commerce committee today.
Sentiment. shown by tests made by
the chamber Is strongly, even over
whelmingly, against proposals Of the
kind, he declared. because of the ex-
perience with government operation
during the war. 8
Other reasons against it, he contend
ed, were heavy costs and the necessity
thereafter Of financing government ex-
tensions thru congressional appropri-
ations with consequent subsection to
political influence
The railroad administration was no.
titled today that the strike of shop
men was at an end, and was asked to
take up the wage demands Immediate
ly.
"The concensus Of opinion Of the ma
tional chamber" Mr.. Post said. rs
that unless the government adopted
the policy Of fixing low rates and fares
with the intention that any resultins
deficit from operation should be plac..
ed as an additional burden Of taxation
on the public rates would be higher
than under private operation"
Likewise the organizations of rail-
road employees might easily exercise
controlling influence on national pol
itics.
Constructive proposals in relation to
the railroad situation, he said, call for
return Of the lines to private owner
ship with consolidation Of the lines
into limited number OF q strong COM

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Vfgorous re-
presentations were made to the Mexi-

ment concerning the capture and de-
tention of two army aviators.
Demands Immediate Action.
The American embassy at Mexico
City was instructed today by the state
department to Immediately call upon
the Mexican government for quick &C
ton to effect the release Of Lieuten-
ants Davis and Peterson.
The state departments announce
ment and the instructions pointed out
the seriousness with which the United
States government views this situation
and called for immediate and adequate
action. The American consul at Juarez
also was instructed to take all possible
steps with the Mexican authorities to
secure release and protection of the
officers.
State department officials said the
ransom demanded would be paid as
soon as information could be had as to
where and whom the money was to be
delivered. 1t has not been decided
whether the United States would fur
nish the sum and charge it against the
Carranza government or call upon the
Mexican government 20 pay 1t direct.

the department Of state has telegraph
ed instructions to the American en-
bassy( in Mexico City Immediately to

Mr.. Baker went into conference with

them is q breach of international law,
