SOLDIERS SCALE MOUNTAIN PEAKS
 IN BANDIT HUNT
One Column is Hot on Trail of Two of Gang Who I'm
 prisoned Airmen.

Maria, Texas, Aug. 21.-The Amer lean punitive expedition in Mexico, took up the bandit chase at dawn to- day for the third day across the bor- der. One column picked up the hot trail of two bandits believed to have been companions of the two bandits captured late yesterday by Captain Leonard Matlack. The pursuit is con- tinuing over mountain peaks, down steep slopes and through mountain valleys.
 By sunrise airplanes left the ground here for Presidio, 60 miles south, where a flying field base for the expedition has been established.
 Landing there and getting gas and oil, the planes flew across the Rio Grande over Palisades, near OJinaga. along the Conchos river valley to pick up the trail south. Cavalry columns are searching out every canyon which could possibly be the hiding place of the bandits.
 Aviators located all American col umns in Mexico yesterday. The fiiers also found the Mexican federal col umn under General Pruneda, near Cuchillo Parade and reported the To- cation of other small bodies of Car- ranza troops. When the fiers left this morning they carried news bulle- tins furnished by the Associated Press which they planned to drop for each cavalry troop operating in Mexico, to give them news of the outside world since they crossed the border.

 GOODS AT HOME THAN ABROAD.

Paris, Wednesday. Aug. zo-con- gressman Oscak F. Bland of Indiana. a member of the war expenditures in- vestigating committee. which is here examining records pertaining to the liquidation of the affairs of the Amer lean army in France said today that he felt 1t was more important to low CT the cost of living for the American public than to endeavor to protect market prices and prevent the market from breaking.
 He said the pressure brought to bear by American dealers and manu- lecturers in an effort to prevent the return of war supplies from France to America was objectionable to him. adding that when Americans so badly need shoes. 1t seems strange that so many good army shoes should be sold cheaply to Belgium and other European countries, American work ing men. meanwhile, being forced to pay higher prices in the United States" He said the same was true as to trucks and motor cars needed In America

WILSON SAYS HE HAS
 NOT POWER 10 ISSUE PEACE PROCLAMATION
In Reply to Questions, Says He Could Not Take Such Action Un- til Treaty is Ratified High Prices Caused by Treaty Delay.

Washington, Aug. 2l-Pres- ident Wilson has not the power to declare peace by proclama- ton, nor could he consent in any circumstance to take such course prior to the ratiffla- ton of a formal treaty of peace by the Senate. The President so wrote Senator Fall today in answer to one of the twenty written questions the Senator presented al the White House conference Tuesday.
 Replying 10 another question, the President said the provision of the treaty that it should come into force after ratification by Germany and three of the principal associated powers operated merely to establish peace between those ratifying pow CTS and that it was objectionable whether it can be said that the league of nations is in any true sense
 
 three Of the Allied and associated governments'
 As to the question of when normal conditions might be restored the President said he could only express the confident opinion that immediate ratification of the treaty and accept ance of the covenant of the league as written would "certainly within the near future reduce the cost of liv- ing" both in this country and abroad through the restoration of production and commerce to normal
 To Senator Falls questions relat- ing to the disposition of Germany's possessions, the President said the arrangement in the treaty conveyed no title to the Allied or associated powers, but merely "intrusts d!sposi- tion of the territory in question to their decision"

Washington, Aug. 21-The Presidents letter to Senator Fall answers his twenty questions as follows:
 My Dear Senator Fall:
 You left yesterday in my hands certain written questions which I promised you I would answer. I am hastening to fulfil that promise.
 q feel constrained to say in reply to your first question not only that in my judgment l have not the power by proclamation to declare that peace exists, but that I could in no circumstances con- sent to take such a course prior tC the ratification of a formal treaty of peace. I feel it due to perfect frankness to say that it would in my opinion put a stain upon our national honor which we never could efface, if after send ing our men to the battlefield to fight the common cause, we should abandon our associates in

 'I respectfully suggest that, having said this, I have in effect answered also your second, third and fourth questions so far as I myself am concerned.
 Permit me to answer your fifth question by saying that the provisions of the treaty to which you refer operate merely to es- tablish peace between the powers ratifying, and that it is ques- tionable whether it can be said that the League of Nations is in any true sense created by r1e as sociation of only three of the all lied and associated governments.

Death Of Prominent
 Chemist
George H. Graves Died Last Night in Southport After
 Long Illness.
MADE FINE RECORD
 IN HIS PROFESSION

News of the death of George H. Graves. which occurred at Southport last night following a long illness of anaemia. will come as a great shock to his many friends in this city where he had been widely known as one of the leading chemists of the country and one of the foremost, clearheaded and systematic business men in the Eastern states. MT. Graves was a son-in-law of Zalmon Goodsell of the Zalmon Goodsell h. surance and Real Estate Company and had come from a very old and prominent family of Vermont Mir. Graves was about 60 years of age.
 For 90 odd years he had served as general manager of the old Fairfield Chemical company which was bought out several years ago by the General Chemical company of the United States. His splendid records made as 0 chemist during his employ in the Fairfield company placed him in charge of the plant at Shepshead Bay, N. Y, where he was largely respon- sible for the great progress made among labor and social conditions in that place. He was loved and ad- mired by all his associates of the plant and was one of the leading fig ures in many of the welfare activities at Sheepshead.
 It was during his experiments and successful triumphs as a chemist in the Savanna plant, where three other we'll known chemists of the country had failed in obtaining certain re- suits from various acids, that he had been stricken with pneumonia from which sickness he had suffered for nearly two years and which finally eliminated in anaemia. His health began to fall him little by little until he lost the use of his legs, and even the final retirement at the summer home In Southport failed to restore him.

 With this information in their pos session the police are conducting a rigid searoh for the murder car in Bridgeport and all surrounding towns. The finding of the missing machine Will undoubtedly solve the mystery.
 One clue which was followed up as 1hs result of the discovery of a laun- dry mark on the murdered mans lin cn, pointed to Derby as the possible residence of the victim. This theory was exploded. however, when 1t was learned that the Derby" mark was the name of the collar which the dead suan wore.
 Bridgeport police are hard at work on the case, and will do all in theiI power to locate the murder machine if 1t belongs here.
