WASHINGTON. May 26. - Inves-

department Wednesday Of the cir
cumstances attending the kidnap-
ping Of two Americans in Mexico.
The American consul at chihuahua

Homer G. Carr, one OF the cap

by the American Smelling and Re-

of the other prisoner was uncer-
tain. The consular report gave the
name as Mcdonald" The records
OF the department show two men Of

SHORT LINE RAIL
WORKERS UNAFFECTED

Much OF the dissatisfaction felt
by railway men at the recent de-
cision of the Wage Labor Board by
which wages were increased 5000
100000 is due to the fact that ap-
proximately % per cent Of the
workers are not eligible to share
in the benefits of the decision at all.
This statement was made yester-
day by John Scott. secretary of the
National Association of Railway
Employees. Mr.. Scott said that the
award OF the board applied only
to men who worked on trunk line
railways of the country. According
to Mr.. Scott. no benefits accrued
from the decision to workers on
short line railways. which includes
nearly 25 per cent of all railway
employees
The wage board is now consider
ing what increases shall be granted
short line workers" said Mr.. Scott.
There has been serious Unrest
among them ever since the award
was made. as many considered that
deliberate attempt had been
made to overlook their necessities
and their claims to share in the
wage award"

A second German note, also re-
Geiycd today by the premier, says

the allies permit Germany to mass
an army on the Polish frontier in

clares, cannot be halted otherwise
