PARIS. August 19.-It is announced
here that on the initiative of J. P.
Morgan & Co. an international oom-
mittee for the protection of holders
Of Mexican securities has been organ
lied, grouping American. French and
British interests together in an en-
deavor to agree upon definite pro-
gram for the solution of the Mexican
problems. An organization of French
holders of Mexican securities, which
was formed in 1916, has sent three
delegates to New York to confer with
the Americans and the British.
French capital invested in Mexico
exceeds 1900. zoo. 900 francs (s4O0. .oO0.-
00O). under the following categories:
State loans. banks, railways. indus
tries. mines and the agencies of COM
nerce. Generally speaking, the
French governments policy regard
ing Mexico has been to recognize the
proponderant interests there of the
United States and leave the settle
ment of the French claims largely to
American initiative, but 1 am able to
say that French security holders
doubtless will recommend pacific in
tervention by French. British and
American interests acting Jointly.
particularly with a view of safe
guarding foreign interests.
1t is believed here that the new in
ternational committee soon will be-
gin to exercise a powerful influence
on the governments concerned.

BALTIMORE POLICE PAY.
Examiners' Head Urges Higher
Wage to Maintain Standard.

Special Dispatch to Thc Stfr
BALTIMORE. Angus 1.-The un-
rest now prevalent ia ae police de-
partment and the inability to obtain
the best men is largely due to the
poor salaries paid, according to the
president of the police board of ex-
aminers. To bring the department up
to the high standard of efficiency that
it calls for. he said. it is imperative
that something be done Immediately
for the men and that the salary of
patrolmen should not be less than $40
a week.
The present salarxof $19 a week
for probationers does not tempt many,
he said. The men are required to
serve a probation period of two years
before they are advanced to the grade
of patrolmen with the salary of $24
a week. For the past year the de-
partment has had the hardest time in
it's history to- get men. and although
the board has held seven examina-
tions for probationers. SO far this
year there still exists over fifty va
cancies.
