KILOGRAMS
ST. CROIX

Washington, Nov. 25th.-The new
fareup over the Mexican problem, gro w
ing out of the Jenkins case, was given
serious consideration today at a meeting
of the Presidents e binet. There was
no intimation as to what this Government
might do in the event that President
Carranza refused to answer the Note
from the State Dept. demanding the
immediate release. of Mr.. Jenkins, hell
on charges OF conniving with bandits
who kidnapped and held him for ransom.
No attempt was made to conceal the feel
ing that the situation was serious and
that the relations between the United
States and Mexico were strained. Officials
said the t rec departments, State, War
and Navy, were ready to meet any even
tuallty and deal with any situation aris-
ing Out OF 4 more defiant attitude by the
Carranza administration toward the Uni
ted Safes. In the absence of advices
from the Embassy at Mexico City. off
Gals were not inclined to put much faith
in reports coming by way of Laredo,
Texas, that the release of Mr.. Jenkins
was momently expected. There was
no word to the department. from the
Mexican En- assy here, and while no
body seemed to know what the next day
would bring forth. officials said they
would not be surprised to hear that
Mr.. Jenkins actually had been released.
Meanwhile the Government has checked
up the officials and private record Of
Mr.. Jenkins and has given him a high
class rating. Officials declared there
was no foundation for the charge that
he had c%onspired with the bandits and
that information from ever 9.ailable
source showed that his statement of his
capture and the methods employed by
, 1919-12-01

the bandits was correct in all details.
The latest reports from the American
Embassy showed that he was still in the
penitentiary and i'll and that bail had
been refused him.
London, Nov. 18th. The imposition
of stricter regulations in Egypt has re-
suited IN an improvement in the tone of

DUE FOR PAPERS
50, 900 More Soldiers Slat.
ed for Early Return
from France.

Three new divisions and the Second
Corps headquarters. aggregating
about 5000 men, were announced yes
terday by Gen. March as on priority
for return to the United States.
The divisions are the Thirtieth.
Thirty-seventh and Ninety first.
The total number of men designated
for discharge IN the United States is
1.O04. 900 and the total from abroad S75,-
coo. or a grand total of $4,000 men.
"The number of men actually re-
leased in the United States" said Gen.
March. "as reported to US, is $50. .36s.
The number of officers who have been
discharged up to and including jan
uary Is 40.491."
Gen. March disposed yesterday of
all sensational reports as to great

wiped out during the last battle OF
the war
Concerning current comments on the

of Staff said there existed considerable
confusion in the public mind as TO
its actual status. He asked that the
fact be made clear that the bureau Is
a Treasury Department function and
not one of the War Department.

D. C. BOY TELLS
OF U-B0AT FIGHT
Troop-laden Transport Saw.
ed from Torpedo by
Mutiny of Crew.

How the crew of the Trax-os-
Monies, an interned German transport
loaned the United States by England
TO carry American soldiers to Francs,
mutinied in nidocean on account of
some imagined grievance was revealed
here last night by Private Lawrence
De Atley, 1857 B street southeast, who
was aboard the ship on this Inflated
trip.
Private De Alley told this story for
the first time when he heard that the
33Sth Field Artillery. which went over
on the Trax-os- Monte, was expected
to reach New York today.
The crew of the Trax-os-Monte We're
Portuguese. When they refused to
continue to fire the vessels boilers. the
American soldiers went below and
replaced them.
Through this freak adventure. it
was related by De Alley. the trans
port once lost its natural position in
the convoy and by doing so missed
a torpedo which hit the ship occupy
ing her former position.
The vessel had hardly gotten well
out to sea when its rudder broke. It
was repaired, but broke down twice
more. The trip was finally completed
by use of the emergency rudder.
The entire convoy was attacked by
U-boats of the Irish coast. The Per
sic" also troop laden. was struck
amidships by n torpedo but the cap
tain managed to bring his vessel into
Queenstown.

GOMPERS DECLARES
LABOR WAGE SCALES
MUST BE MAINTAINED
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

Taking up the question of legisla-
ton to solve labor problems after the
war, Gompers said he hoped the COM
mittee would do nothing in the mat
ter until the executive council of the
Labor Federation has submitted its
recommendations upon which it is now
working. He is to sail for Europe on
January s, he said, and the council S
report will be submitted within a short
time after that date.
Gompers said he had found the SEN
timent in various parts of the country
to be in favor of lowering the wages
Of labor and lengthening the hours
Such a sentiment, he said. is resented
by labor everywhere, and strikes a
discordant notes in the hopes of lib
erty and a freer life with the defeat
of autoCracy and the ending of tho
war" Talks he has had with lars.
employers of labor have convinced
him. however, that such sentiments
are not typical of the attitude of EN-
ployers generally.
Gompers warned the committee
that the industrial problems of
peace will be greater and more seri-
Gus than were those of war times,
and that the people of the country
would not tolerate a return of the
conditions of 1898 when thousands
were out of employment and many
were at the point of starvation. He
declared that legislation should be
drafted to prevent a repetition of
such conditions.
A bit of the inside history of the
Inter-Allied Labor Conference held
in London in September last was re-
lated by Gompers, when he told the
committee that it was the delegates
from the American Federation of
Labor who forced the adoption of
the resolution demanding an allied
victory. He said this was no small
job.
''Phe very same men who took the
program of the American Fedora
tion were the men who in the pre-
ceding February called upon their
governments to open negotiations
for an inconclusive peace with the
central powers" he said.
