By the Associated Press.
ESSEN, July Announcement that
the management of the Krupp works
had signed an agreement with en-
gineers Of the commission of occupa-
tion for the use OF branch railroad
line connecting two branches of the
Krupp plants was made yesterday by
the French authorities. This is said
to be the first agreement Of any kind
signed by representatives of the Ger
man industrialists with representa-
tives OF the forces of occupation and
is looked upon by the French as an
indication OF the weakening of pas
sive resistance by the Germans
The agreement is the outcome of
Monday, of the foundries and coal
yards Of the Krupp locomotive branch
at Segeroth, little station near Es-
sen. When they took over the plant
the French found 10000 tons of coal
and coke. twelve locomotives and sew
eral hundred tons of tires fbr loco
motives and railway cars
Segeroth Is connected with what is
known as the Martens steel works,
also part of the Krupp plant, by a
narrow-gauge railroad, which engi-
neers Of the commission say the
krupp management has been using
to ship out surreptitiously products
from Segeroth, contrary to the decree
of Gen. De Goutte. The agreement
provides, according to the French,
that in the future all goods shipped
on this limo will be open to French
inspection, and in return the Krupp
works will be allowed to send unfin-
ished material to the Martens works
over the line simultaneously.

MEXICO CITY. July 5.-Coincident

States and Mexican recognition COM
misstoners, together with President
Obregon and Secretary of the Treas
ury de la Huerta. it was stated
authoritatively that very gratifying
progress" had been made recently in
conciliating the views of the two
governments on Mexico's petroleum
and agrarian policies.
Agreement has been reached on
more than two-thirds of the ques-
mainder contains some of the most
important points. Confidence was ex-
pressed that 1t would be possible to
determine within a few days whether
the two delegates can reach a settle

ment under neutral umpire of
American claims against Mexico. and
vice versa.
One problem still awaiting solution,
1t is understood, involves Mexico's
unwillingness TO concede subsoil
rights to land owners who acquired
their property prior to the pronulga-
tion of the constitution of 1917. but
who did not exercise their right to
explore for petroleum. The United
States delegation is insisting upon
an equitable valuation of American
owned agrarian lands taken over by
the government; and this Is another
point still at issue.
