Washintgon, Sept. 16. - As soon 1s the Senate disposes of the German peace treaty and opens the way to the restoration Of diplomatic relations with Germany, President Wilson will announce the name of his selection as Ambassador to Berlin. There .r. excellent authority to justify the statement that the President has all ready selected the man for the most important and difficult post and the delay in ratification Of the peace treaty alone prevents announcement of his identity.
 Unless there are unexpected com rlicatious, the name that the Presl- dent will send to the Senate will be that of George McAueny former Borough President of Manhattan. and now executive manager of the New iork Times. The President has had NIr. McAueny in mind for the post Of Ambassador to Berlin for some time and there is reason to believe that barring unforeseen developments he will accept it if he has not already done so.

US. SEES NO CAUSE NOW
TO|NTERVENE IN MEXICO
Admit Britain and France Have
Pressed for Early Settlement
of Conditions.

Though admitting that Great Brit
ain and France have brought pressure
to bear upon the United States gov
eminent for an early settlement OF
conditions in Mexico. with conse-
quent safeguards to foreign property.
State Department officials declare the
situation is not such as to warrant
American Intervention in Mexico at
the present juncture. Hope is still
expressed that there may be some
way out through negotiation, but.
generally speaking, the opinion still
prevails in a large portion of gov
ernmental and diplomatic circles that
there is but one way-military occu
patton.
Though the State Department scouts
the idea of Intervention, others who
are conversant with the general sit
uaton as pertaining to the relations
between the two countries at the pres
ent moment quickly indicate that it
would be fofy for the State Depart
ment or any government official to
outSpokenly announce that this gov
eminent is about to adopt interven
ton as panacea for present dccid-
eddy disturbed conditions within
Mexico, when there are more pressing
issues, particularly the peace treaty,
which should first be settled.
Oil men representing all of the
larger interests in Mexico. who con-
ferred with Under Secretary Polk of
the state Department yesterday, are
confident that this government will
sooner or later take action of definite
sort and their Representations to the
State Department yesterday undoubt-
eddy Will be the subject of further
official negotiation with the CarranZa
government. Much old ground was
reviewed and the oil men made speci-
/ fic requests for certain protection, one
of the points being the right of all
employees of all oil companies to
carry arms. Revocation of the Mexi-
can decree prohibiting the drilling of
new oil wells, unless by stipulations
which would permit practical confisca-
ton by the Mexican government, also
was asked, while the permission to
carry pay rolls by airplane to avoid
holdups and robberies was desired.
General protestations against the ever
constant menace to American life and
property also were made.

Business Threatened.

Efforts of the federal employing mt
bureau, it was asserted. have been as
fruitlesS in obtaining necessary labor
as have the efforts of employment
agencies, labor agents and employers
themselves. Unless employers in prac-
tically every line of business speedily
find remedy for the shortage that is
declared to be growing more serious
every day, business of all kinds will
be unable to escape serious injury.

Blames High Pay for Irregularity

with all branches of manufacture
ing paying from 25 cents 4 day up
ward above the union scales. and with
these scales increased 100 per cent or
more above the prewar period
workmen receive as much for three
days work now as they earned in a
week before the war" said one large
employer Of skilled labor. The re-
suit is, in my shop as well as in
scores of other plants, that the men
work two, three or four days in the
week and then lay off and spend the
rest of the week driving around in
the automobiles they have bought
since the war began. There is abso-
lutely no way to prevent this. and
there seems to be no way to find
workmen who will work all week or
who viii take the places of regular
employees while the latter are laying

Enquiry in other cities where it

might exist show that the condition
is not local. but prevails in practically

Manufacturers everywhere have

farmers everywhere declare their
crops are suffering serious injury be-

| In the face of repeated assertions
! that unemployment is on the increase
! this state of affairs is inexplicable,

Paws More Than Union Wages.

Another contractor in the sheet
metal business stated that while in
normal times his plant employed
about forty men the year round he
is now unable to obtain more than
about sixteen sheet metal workers.
Most of these. he said, Whlle union
men, We're unable to handle anything
but the simplest kinds of work.
This plant also pays premium
over the union scale for sheet metal
workers. Large orders, lncludlhS
government contracts, he said, are
being seriously delayed because of
this inability to obtain the necessary
workmen. while the shop has been
compelled for some time to turn down
repair work Of any kind.
Brick manufacturing plants near
the city also are handicapped because
of the labor shortage, managers re-
port Several of the bakeries of the
