Formal
;Innouncentent \vas made today by
Acting Secretary Polk of the ac-
ceptance of ( ieneral (..arranza's
priliosal for a joint international
commission to seek a solution of
11(
diSIMICS and to discuss
other matters \\inch may help clar-
if ,: relations between the ll.nited
States and Mexico. Only the time
:rid place for the conference re-
rlain to be decided.
Secretary Lane, of the interior
department, will head the Ameri-
can commission, supported
hy
muis
Prandeis, associate jus-
tice of the supreme court, and a
third commissioner whose name
\vill he announced later.
A telegram asking the third man
to serve Nva s sent today by Presi-
dent Wilson find . his name will not
be disclosed until his acceptance is
received,
Carranza in Full Accord.
e Jlcxican commissioners
were named some days ago, Luis
Cabrera, minister of finance in the
Carranza government, heading the
delegation. This made necessary
appointment of a member of
President Wilson's cabinet ill the
American membership.
Today's announcement followed
a brief conference between Mr.
Polk and Eliseo Arrcdondo, ( .ar-
ranza's ambassador-designate. Fin-
al assurance was given by Mr. Ar-
redondo that iencral Carranza
was in complete accord with sug-
gestions of the Washington gov-
ernment that the discussions of the
commissioners he given the broad-
est possible scope. The ambassa-
dor said his government regarded
its recent note as a full answer and
acceptance of Sof-retary folk's sug-
gestions that the scope be broad-
ened.
The commission \vill be required
first to reach some conclusion 011
the specific points outlined by Gen-
eral Carranza in his original pro-
posal. The first subject treated
would be withdrawal of American
troops from Mexico, to be followed
by negotiation of a protocol cover-
ing future military operations along
the border. Since these two points
are closely interwoven it is believed
the commission will couple them
tog- ether in whatever recommenda-
tions it has to make.
Decisions Not Binding.
Decisions of the commission will
he in 110 wise binding upon either
government until they have been
ratified both by President Wilson
and General Carranza. Withdraw-
al of American troops, coupled with
the framing of a protocol to cover
future military expeditions will he
the first subject discussed, to be
followed by an investigation of the
underlying interests behind border
raids and then by whatever other
deliberations the commissioners
find themselves ready to undertake.
It is regarded as probable that
the commission may tour the bor-
der and interview military and civil
authorities on both sides of the line
before it can complete its task.
Secretary Lane already is fa-
miliar with the course of events in
Mexico and on the border. It is
understood the other American
commissioners will be fully advised
by the state department upon all
that has transpired before they go
into session.
HEBREW SHELTERING AND
IMMIGRANT AID SOCIETY
DOING SPLENDID WORK
Report Shows That Society En-
gages in Large and Varied
Fields of Usefulness.
The problem of the Society's Em-
ployment Bureau is peculiar and en-
tirely different from those of the
typical agencies. The applicants
consist largely of skilled workers,
business men, Hebrew teachers.
Schochtim, and students, many of
\\limn are handicapped by the fact
than they are unacquainted with the
language or the conditions prevalent
in our land, or, though technically
trained workmen at their trades in
Europe, find it impossible to adjust
themselves to the requirements of
similar trades in this country.
Many, too, are Sabbath observers.
Here, above all, careful guidance re-
quired not only a knowledge of the
general conditions, but a special un-
derstanding of the immigrants'
psychology and his exceptional
needs. The situation was met partly
through a form of vocational guid-
ance, through placing the immi-
grants as apprentices in various in-
dustries, but the conditions de-
manded in the majority of cases,
prompt employment at as good
wages as could be procured.
Through the National Directors of
the Society in every State, it was
found possible to place practically
all of those following religious pur-
suits.
The jobs which are given to all
applicants were such as would en-
able them to quickly learn the condi-
tions which surround them, in order
that they may become useful and
self-supporting citizens. It was and
is always the endeavor to have the
immigrants attend night school, and
the majority of those who were
placed to work availed themselves
of that opportunity. Many others
took private lessons, and all made
much progress.
