live in Niagara Falls.
Mrs. Diel, who was driving the car
along street paralleling the gorge,
apparently lost control and the machine
bumped the curb. crashed through a
hedge and ran over lawn bordering
the gorge. 1t is thought that Mrs. Diel
in her fright stepped on the accelerator,
for the car gained speed and shot over
the gorge bank.
Mrs. Diel and the children were
thrown out Of the car on the path
leading to the Maid of the Mist land
ing, about $50 feet south of the canti-
lever bridge. The car bounded off the
path. and, with Mrs. Lyall still in it,
hurtled about fifty feet further down,
almost to the gorge route tracks. Mrs.

carried up the steep bank by policemen
and fsremen.

Cohan Heads
New UniOntO
Fight Equity
500 Actors Organize Under
Pledge Managers Will
Give In to All Demands
Except Union Recognition

More than 500 actors and actresses
at meeting in the Hotel Biltmore
last night voted to form a new organi-
zation of stage folk to "save the the
atre from total ruin and restore har-
mony amongst the stagefolk and the
managers"
George M. Cohan was acclaimed as
the leader of the new body, and he
announced that he would resign i'm
mediately from the Producing Man
ayers Association, never produce an
other play or assume another role in
order to be free to devote his entire
time to the establishment and develop
ment of the new organization.
There was a strong current of opin-
ion among the members. however, that
Cohans quitting the P. M. A. might not
be requisite to his success as mentor
of the new organization, and a COM
mittee was named to discuss with him
this and other phases of the situation.
Say 537 Have Enrolled
The claim was made that 537 actors
and actresses had already enrolled as
members. Among them are David War
field, Blanche Bates, Olive Wyndham,
Marie Cahill, Frances Starr, Henry
Miller, Ralph Herr, Justine Johnston,
Lola Fisher, Ina Claire, Carlotta Mon
terey, Eileen Huban, Holbrook Blinn,
Joseph Ruben, Lester Lonergan, Ame ella
Bingham, George Barnum, Alan Dine
hart, Willie Collier. Janet Beecher,
Zelda Sears, Lenore Ulrich, Marjorie
Wood and Arthur Ashley.
At Actors Equity headquarters there
was no visible alarm over possibilities
of the new association making serious
inroads on the old one. Equity off,
cials said the Cohan organization could
accomplish little while the union stage
hands and musicians stood by the
strikers. They were jubilant over hay-
ing taken in 1000 in subscriptions
during yesterday afternoons strike
mass meeting in the Lexington Theatre.
Charles c. Shay, head of the stage
hands and motion picture operators
union, prevented showing of the film
The House Without Children" at the
Gaiety, theatre "darkened" by the
strike, when he refused last night Ia
permit union operators to work there.
To Open Negotiations
The new organization will BEGIN i'm
mediately to treat with the managers
Tor the settlement Of the strike. II

Early Reply to Carranza

LONDON, Aug. % (By The Asso-

expulsion from Mexico of the British
Charge d'Affaires it is understood that
the British government is cooperating
with the United States In am effort to
straighten out the situation.
The suggestion has been made in
high government quarters here that
Mexico possibly presents an opportun-
ity for application of the principles Of
the league of nations, and in this con-
nection the belief has been expressed
that the United States might welcome
a settlement of the Mexican problem
by the league
WASHINGTON, Aug o. Secretary
of State Lansing discussed the Mex
lean situation with President Wilson
in an hours conference at the White
House to-day, looking toward the form

MEXICO by American troops.

said tonight that no reply was likely
to Be sent Immediately, although it is
said the Mexican protest was so word
ed az to require a quick response.
Secretary Baker declared that, so far
as he knew, orders recalling the Amer
lean forces had not been sent
The extreme rcticence of every State
and War Department official led to the
report that the situation was being
handled directly from the White House
and that reports dealing with both the
military and diplomatic features on re-
celpt here are sent to President Wilson,
The Mexican reply complaining OF
the menace" Of the American warn
ing Of July % was adroit, but 1t con-
tanned the admission that President
Carranza was unable to police remote
areas Of the republic to give protec-
tion to Americans there. This is re-
;sarced as opening the way for reply
by the United States 20 CaJraHza's pro
test against the presence in Mexico of
American troops, calling attention TO
the earlier admission and asserting
that under such circumstances the
United States will be compelled to send
forces into Mexico whenever and
wherever Americans are attacked,
Pending the American reply the sub
committee of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, appointed to investi-
gate Mexican American relations is
making arrangements to obtain the ser
vices of two men we'll acquainted with
border conditions to assist in its inyes
tigation.

americans Establish
New Bases OF Supply
South of Rio Grande

MARIA, Tex, Aug. 22.-Major Cen
eral Joseph T. Dickman, commanding
the Southern Department, moved to-
day to provide better support for the
United States troops which tonight
were far below the border in Mexico in
search of the bandits who held two
American aviators for ransom.
As the forces are too distant to OBJ
tain food supplies from north of the
Rio Grande, General Dickman an
nounced that bases of supply were be-
ing established south of the frontier.
The American troops are expected to
reach their immediate objective and
establish one of the bases tonight or
tomorrow. Possibility of a forced
march through the night was foreshad.
owed.
More 'Planes Wanted
Although no more soldiers will be
sent across the border at this time.
General Dickman said efforts were be-
ing made to obtain more airplanes to
maintain laison with the punitive ex-
peditionary forces.
AS long as the American expe dition
continues to follow hot trail it will
remain in Mexico, unless orders to the
contrary are received from the War De-
partment, General Dickman announced,
The line of communication is being
closely guarded and airplanes are
watching every body of Mexicans in
the zone of rafi0ns
General Dickman denied reports
current that eight more bandits had
been killed below the border.
II telegraphed the War Department
last night that the troops are still on
the trail of the bandits" he said. Gas
long as we are able to follow those
trails the expedition will continue. If
We lose the trails and are unable to
pick them up after reasonable time
and We find hunting no longer good, we
will order the troops back
"lf the troops could stay in Mexico
as long as desired, the best plan would
be to infest the whole region with SOL
diers and hunt the bandits down like
rabbits. AS this cannot be done, since
we are liable to be ordered out anv
minute, it is better to keep together as
much as possible and let detachments
radiate in search of bandits
"This is also a measure of safety.
If attacked by force, it is possible for
the troops to fight their way out. It
would take considerable force of
Mexicans to stop 500 brave Americans,
who are good shots"
General Dickman explained in de-
tail his position regarding the failure
of Captain Leonard F. Matlack to paw
the entire amount of the ransom to the
bandits. Last night the general an
nounced that he had modified his orig
inal view of the affair since hearing
Matlack's own story, according to
which Matlack overheard two of the
Mexican bandits discussing a plan to
ambush and kill both Matlack and
Lieutenant Paul H. Davis. the captive
aviator, after the last ransom paymen.

THE FUTURE RELATIONS OF
GERMANY TO THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA
By Count Johann-Heinrich A. H.

(Once German Ambassador to the
United Stutes.)

interpret the desire of the editors
to bring about q discussion of the
above subject as an expression of the
hope that the relations of Germany
10 the United States will in future de-
veiop favorably. Whoever cherishes
that hope with his whole heart, as
do, must not look exclusively into the
future. If We Germans want to re-
store our good old relations with the
citizsns Of the United States, we must
keep IN mind, with an inexorable truth
fulness, the mistakes Of the past; we
must shape our course In the present
ccrrespondingly; and only after that,
upon the basis Of these presuppositions
can We intelligently approach our new
task.
TIE historical traditions Of the
United States appeared to justify the
assumption that the Union would re-
main neutral IN the great war. That
assumption, moreover, was in a line
with the policy Of President Wilson,
Notwithstanding the bad feeling that
had arisen against us in the United
States through the violation of Bel
gums neutrality. From August 1,
1914, to February l, 1917, Mr.. Wilson
consistently strove for the same goal:
be wanted to save his country from
taxing part in the war and to end the
latter through his intermediation. In
the pursuit of that policy Mr.. Wilson
vas able to rely upon the support of
he majority of the American people,
who clearly gave expression to their
agreement with it in the Presidential
election of November, 1915. The fact
u not at all changed by the existence
at that time in the United States of a
~ar party, which was making common
cause with the Entente against us.
Inls war party, however, would never
nave met with success if the U-boat
warfare had not changed the situation.
tne truth about the occurrences of
'ae past few years is still so buried
under the propaganda of all countries
and parties that probably only a later
and less prejudiced- age will succeed
