AMERICAN CHAIRMAN OF JOINT
SESSION OVER THE MEXICAN
TROUBLE8 IS IMPATIENT.
[inn ifli comin
f Refuses to Co-Oj>crate Satisfactorily
Toward Reaching Agreement aiul
Business of Conference May He
Wound I'p Soon—Secretary Lane
Confers With President Wilson.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. Armed
With President Wilson's complete up-
proval of his course, Secretary Lane
will return to Atlantic City "tomor-
row determined to bring the sessions
of the American-Mexican joint com-
mission to an early conclusion.
He is still hopeful that on agree-
ment us to the border situation can
be reached, but It was clearly indicat-
ed today In official circbr that the
joint conference is entering on Its
final phase, agreement or no agree-
ment.
If the commissioners find it impos-
sible to formulate a plan, the view
taken here will be that the prospect
of settling border disputes through
diplomacy will be remote.
Officials make no prediction, how-
ever, us to what steps the Washing-
ton government might find it neces-
sary to take in that event to insure
the safety of border towns and
lanches.
Secretary Lane is understood to
have found the president, Secretary
Lansing and Secretary Baker in full
accord with him on every point when
he laid before them last night In a
three hour conference at the White
House, a review of the effect the
American commissioners had made to
reach a settlement.
Mr. Lane said today he was well
pleased with the results of the White
House conference but he would not
otherwise comment on it.
It Is an open secret that Luis Ca-
brera, Carranza minister of finance,
! and president of the Mexican com-
mission, has proved the stumbling
block in the way of reaching an agree-
ment. Commissioners Bonillas and
Panl, It is said, have been ready to
approve several different suggestions
for co-opera tlvc action. Cabrera,
however, held out for control of any
•H|Ul uuaixaK « Aq suoinuado lujof
tary commander, a concession the
American commissioners did not feel
warranted in making.
It is believed here that the Ameri-
can commissioners have now aban-
doned the effort to frame an agree-
ment satisfactory to the Mexicans in
every detail and will renew tomorrow
their original suggestion that each
government can control its own side of
the line independently but with the
understanding that American troops
will pursue Into Mexico on a hot trail
any bandits who attack border
towns.
Coupled with that suggestion, pre-
sumably, was the statement that Gen-
eral Pershing's forces would be with-
drawn gradually from Mexico and
that no large force would be sent
across the line again unless the de
facto government permitted raiders
to assemble In such force in Mexico
that a Gtrong expedition was neces-
sary to prevent serious attack.
Army officials believe that the
American expeditionary force will
Boon be moving toward the border,
regardless of the turn events may take
at Atlantic City
In its present position, many offi-
cers hold the expedition would be of
no strategic value should general hos-
tilities break out, while the long line
of communication with the advance
base is a constant source of danger
and more or less vulnerable at sev-
eral points.
Since the withdrawal was one of
the main things pressed for by the
Mexican commissioners, it was under-
stood here that the troops would not
be ordered home while negotiations
were pending.
If the commission dissolves, how-
ever, It is believed there will remain
no reason for keeping the expedition
where it is.
Official advices from the border to-
day indicated that all of the Ameri-
cans at Parral had made their escape
and will soon arrive in N'ogales, Ariz.
Advices Indicate that the Villa forces
are not In actual possession of Par-
ral, Jlmlnez or any of the other towns
In that region which border reports
have said they controlled.

AVIATRIX COVERS DISTANCE OF
NEARLY 70(1 MILES WITHOIT
COMING TO EARTH.
BIRMINGHAM, N. Y„ Nov. 19.—
In attempting a non-stop flight from
Chicago to New oYrk, Miss Ruth Law,
guiding a Curtis biplane of the mili-
tary scout type, shattered all Ameri-
can long distance aviation records for
a single flight today, when she flew
from Chicago to Hornell, N. Y„ a dis-
tance by railroad of about 660 miles,
bettering by about 100 miles the rec-
ord made by Victor Carlstrom on
Nov. 2
A delayed start and a cross-wind
that cut down her speed and forced
her to descend to replenish the gaso-
line supply, were responsible for her
failure to reach New York City, Miss
i.aw said after her arrival at Birming-
ham this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.
Previous to today, Miss Law had
never made a single flight longer than
twenty-five miles. Her machine, a
small biplane, has a spread of wings
less than half that of one Carlstrom
used. It was not specially designed
for the occasion.
Miss Law covered a distance of
about 7S5 miles in six hours and fifty
minutes, time being deducted for the
descent at Hornell. The first 6 02
miles, the distance by rail bewteen
Chicago and Hornell, was made with-
out a stop.
Miss Law left Chicago at 8:25 a. m.,
eastern time. She had expected to
start before that hour, but was de-
layed by experiments with the carbu-
reter for on hour and a half. In the
time thus Is ttoeah n
time thus lost the aviatrlx might have
covered the remaining distance to
New York.

tonight by the Aero Club of America.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 19.—
William Jennings Bryan, in address-
ing the National W. C. T. r. conven-
tion here today, said he was not dead
politically, but asserted he is "in pol-
itics with both feet."
He said he was in favor of national
prohibition.
"I love my party, and because of my
love for it, hope and feel that it will
be a 'dry' democracy," said Mr. Bryan.
He said that in spite of his desire to
see national prohibition come through
democratic influence, his prayer for a
saloonless nation extended beyond
party lines and that he would not nec-
essarily await the triumph of the pro-
hibition cause through the democratic
party, but would welcome a dry na-
tion through the republican party. He
also asserted the trend of circum-
stances of the last few years were
such that he was hopeful of consti-
tutional prohibition amendment, per-
haps as soon as 1920.
VIENNA, Nov. 19.—(Via London.)
—Interest in the announcement re-
ceived in Vienna that President Wil-
son intends taking concrete action in
behalf of peace continues unabated,
though in many Austrian circles the
view is held that the attitude of the
entente powers will render Mr, Wil-
son's good offices futile.
It it, argued ni government circles
and in the press that so long as the
entente nations adhere to the pro-
gram recently reiterated by Premier
Asquith and Viscount Grey there is
really no occasion for Austria-
Hungary to show great interest in the
proposed action, as the entente gov-
ernment officials asserted that the
war objectives were not discussable.
Where Hitch Comes In.
This aspect, it is pointed out in
government circles, could only be
changed by a readiness of the entente
to proceed from a quite different
base. With the entente willing to dis-
cuss peace on terms of the re-estab-
lishment of pre-war conditions, so
modified as to take into account the
central powers' interests that have
suffered, Austrl-Hungary's attitude
might be expected to change. As the
matter stands it is felt by Austrian
officials that the acceptance of an in-
vitation for such a conference with
the entente holding out for a program
which is little short of the total an-
nihilation of the central powers and
their allies, would be equal to ac-
knowledging that the central powers
werfc ready to secure peace on any
terms.
While President Wilson's good in-
tentions are not in the least doubted,
and while his offer might gladly be
accepted, It is pointed out that the
entente powers would gain undue and
unjustified encouragement if Austria-
Hungary were to pit its own modest
claims against those of the entente
still seeking the dual monarchy's dis-
memberment.
There Is no doubt In the minds
of Austrians In a position to know
that the central powers arc ready
for negotiations, but nothing
short of the conditions outlined In
the foregoing would Induce them.
In the present military situations,
to join a conference sueli as Is
understood lien- to have been
proposed by President Wilson.
In view of these facts It may be an-
nounced that peace negotiations of
any sort, even a preliminary confer-
ence for defining the minimum claims
of all the belligerents, will remain im-
possible so long as the entente powers
Ido not beforehand Indicate a readi-
! ness to abandon their present attitude.
Only a Rumor.
j Washington, Nov. 19.—It is assum-
ed in official circles that Austrian
J discussion of a peace move by Presi-
i dent Wilson is based on some un-
j founded rumor. The president, it is
understood, has not changed his opin-
ion that any action by him now' would
be ill-timed and futile unless the bel-
ligerent nations indicated that it would
be welcome, and It Is authoritatively
stated that no immediate step is in
contemplation.

PARIS, Nov. 19.—Extraordinary
weather conditions prevailing in
France In the last forty-eight hours
culminated yesterday in a tidal wave
in the gulf of Marseilles, on the Medi-
terranean coast, in which many ves-
sels foundered, and disastrous gales
on the southwestern coast of the At-
lantic ocean.
According to M. Angot, director of
the weather bureau, the fluctuations
of the barometer yesterday beat all
the records of sixty years for quick
changes. From 721 millimetres,
which already was 39 below normal, it
dropped 41 millimetres in thirty-six
hours.
Snow fell heavily along the British
battlefront and there were heavy rains
and high winds in Paris and in other
parts of France.
At Marseilles all the cabins on Cat-
alan beach were carried away. The

Sacramento, Cal , Nov. 19.— Re-

semi-official tabulations of the same
district, t
Nov. 19 - (By Wireless to
iated Press.) — Monastir was
evacuated during tho night by the
German and Bulgarian troops who re-
tired to prepared positions further
north. They thus withdrew from
highly unfavorable positions In the
plain, where they were exposed to
artillery fire from the heights to the
south and southeast of the town.
The news of the evacuation of Mon-
astir does not come as a surprise, the
Associated Press having been inform-
ed some days ago by the military au-
thority that the question whether
Monastir's political Importance was
great enough to Justify the military
sacrifice necessary to defend the town
was being weighed by the general
staff, and that military considerations
probably would prevail.
Peculiar Location.
Monastir is located at the bottom of
a bowl surrounded on all sides by
dominating heights. It was, there-
fore, extremely unfavorable as soon
as the enemy forces gained a footing
on the rim of the bowl, as they had
done to the south, being less than five
miles from the town.
Since the Roumanian theatre, as
was cabled recently, is regarded hero
at present as the decisive theatre of
the whole war front, east and west, It
was considered a correct decision
strategically and tactically not to call
upon defenders for heavy sacrifices
and efforts to hold the town itself.
It is pointed out In Berlin that Mon-
astir is likely to be a very uncomfort-
able place for the entente allied
troops, as the new Bulgar-German po-
sitions command the town in the same
manner as it was previously coin-
man,led by the entente guns.
Politically, of course, various con-
siderations urged that efforts be made
to retain Monastir. not only because
its possession by the entente allies
would give the Servian government a
local habitation In Servian territory
and encourage General Sarrall, com-
mander of the entente allied opera-
tions in the Balkans to press the cam-
paign, but also for Its political effect
in general.
In war, however, military consid-
erations must prevail over political.
The evacuation of Monastir will in a
way shift the operative difficulties
from the Hi^lgar-Oermun army to
General Sarrail's shoulders

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.—A por-
tentlous and complicated International
situation now faces President Wilson,
and for the next few weeks will en-
gage his attention and that of his ad-
visers to the practical exclusion of all
but tho most urgent of domestic
subjects.
In the last days of the campaign
Secretary of State Lansing frequently
spoke of tho necessity of postponing
action on the more delicate interna-
tional questions because the uncer-
tainty of the outcome of the political
contest had a direct bearing on the
success or failure of some of the ad-
ministration policies.
From now on the president expects
to deal with all foreign questions
without embarrassment, and he is re-
ceiving from liis advisers a summary
of the outstanding issues so essential
to taking stock of the basic situation
which must be met. now that inter-
national relations have returned to
their place of Importance. While it
is not evident that there will be any
fundamental change in policy, free-
dom from fear that any move at all
would be misinterpreted as Inspired
by an internal political struggle has
been removed. President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing feel themselves
able to act with a single eye to the
International situation, and their Im-
mediate conferences on the president's
return to Washington indicate how
pressing they feel the situation to be.
Issues Coming Up.
The president must decide how tha
United States shall meet the German
submarine question on the one hand
and the entente allied trade restric-
tions on the other, whether the retal-
iatory legislation shall be enforced,
whether the traditional theory of iso-
lation shall be abandoned for con-
certed neutral action, and whether the
country shall have an aggressive or a
passive policy toward the peace con-
ference. the trade war after the war,
and the permanent league to enforce
peace, which the president has ac-
cepted in theory. And, during the rest
of the war. shall America's attitude
be governed by a decided benevolence
in the Interpretation of international
law. accoiiling to Its own best inter-
ests, or shall it be strictly legalistic,
regardless of whom it affects?
Disquieting Problem.
Most specular and disquieting of
the problems Is Ihe submarine ques-
tion with Germany. Five critical cases
are pending, one Involving a loss of
six American lives, two others in-
volving American ships.
Increasingly serious is the fast grow-
ing conviction that any kind of gen-
eral submarine warfare, even if com-
plying with the inadequate rules as to
giving warning and affording some
measure of safety of passengers, is
intolerable. Germany is known to be
building submarines rapidly, and thero
is the possibility of a starvation cam-
paign against England. Its effects
would concern all nations. The
1'nlted States might find it difficult to
a void complications.
The American attitude Is flat and
final. No technicalities will be ad-
mitted. Ships must not be sunk with-
out warning or without provision for
| the safety of the passengers facing
i high seas or l»ng distance from shore.
The armed ship issue undoubtedly -.vIIJ
'he advanced h\ Germany, but will not
| be accepted. Secretary Ijinslng fore-
saw it last March, when, without an-
nouncing liis reason, be decreed that
merchant vessels could carry a small
defensive gun. If that endangers sub-
marines that is part of their weakness.
The I'nited States, anxious as a pacifip
nation, opposed to armament to i^ •
crease the power of submarines, re}**
ognizes their shortcomings, especially
In their vulnerability, if surprised and
attacked.
Cp to Germany.
The future of tlie submarine ques-
tion is felt to rest entirely with Ger-
many. With the Amcr.ean at' tudo ja
known, the next step must coro>- front jgiKjl
Heilin, Two possibilities are feared:
| either that Germain will decide !l"
can starve England by an undersea
campaign, or that she may end, ivor
to involve this countiy and thus as-
sure the participation in peace < ,infer-
ences of a generous em ni> aioncd
toward Just peace claims
Beyond this, the I.usitatilsi ca-e re-
ams unsettled, Germany 1* ad-
mitted liability tnd offered indemnity,
but the delicate n alter of it amount
has not been settled. \ttempt< made
to close the Issue have b. n r. p.-atcd-
ly blocked by unexpected new TMioat
complies t ions.
The rin ages of the TV," off New
England were displeasing to the gov-
ernment but the incident was viewed
us isolated. It was said that continu-
ance of die practice would not be per-
mitted. as it would constitute a prac-
tical blockade of American harbors.
Vagg'injc Relationship.
Relations with the entente allies
are h ss clear-cut, less dangerous, but.
perhaps more nagging. Sea power has
enabled them virtually to destroy all
foreign trade hostile to them and to
divert all American commerce to their
uses. Constant belligerent encroach-
ments on neutral rights have led Pres-
ident Wilson to say that neutrality it
"intolerable." War has become so
world-wide, so unlimited as to nation-
al boundaries, that it is no longer the
hostile army, but the hostile state,
men, women and children with Its
outposts all over the world, that i«
volved. •
