Railway Valuations Proceeding Slowly,

The physical valuation of Ann ri' in raflv.ays which ,;is der dared to be a step preparatory to the purchase of the lines l.y the f-d-ral government, is far from completed. The v.ork which is being carried forward by th interstate comitifrcp commission under ia I authority of congress, was to onsurr.e three years according to the estimates made at the tim the task was undertaken. It was announced at the ofhees of the division of valuation today that although the I work his been in progress over a year. -."our or liv years more will ho required lo complete it. So far only two railroads have l-en com phtfly valued- tho Texas Midland and the Winston Salem ime. There has been considerable inquiry as to tho progress ot tili t. oik during the presence of the strike negotiation in Washington.

American Commission Comprising Lane. Gray and Mott is Admittedly Strong. Iuter:ijii'n.il News rrvie: WASHINGTON'. Aus. 2 Sett lenient of all iiiestioris in dispute between the present le facto government of Meb'o and the United States is expected by I'res't Wilson before election. SVc'y of State Lansing and Ainliass;idor-Dosi?nate Arredrmdo planned to confer today to perfect arrangements for the meetings of the joint commission. It is expected that Asbury Park or some nearby New Jersey summer resort will he chosen as the meeting place. This will put the commission close to the summer white house so that Pros' t Wilson will be available at all times for consultation. Ambassador Designate Arredondo also will move his staff to the place selected so that he ran keep Gen. Carranza fully advised of everything that is joins' on. The commission as finally selected is admittedly one of the strongest that yet has passed upon Mexican affairs, and its personnel is as follows: American section Franklin D. Lane, secretary of th interior; Judpe (JeorKe Gray of Delaware, retired federal jurist and sinco 190" a member of the international court of arbitration under The Hai;ue convention: John 11. Mott. Koneral secretary of the international Y. M. C. A., and noted religious worker.

The first task of the commission Will 1 if to fleeidt wht-tlipr tVi 1 'e rshiny- expedition shall be withdrawn! from Mexico. It is considered certain that this will be agreed on speedily. It is also expected that a neutral zone will be tlxed early in the negotiations into which tho American or Mexican forces can be hurried to stop bandit raids. On this point k'ook'rabhical considerations will probably prove the only stumbling block. With the military situation out of the way it is fxpected that the commission will take up the question of financing tho irosent government. It is believed a plan will he developed which will make it possible for this government a.ein to interest capital in Mexican affairs and to set money to pay off all existing claims so that a fresh start can I e made by the southern republic.

IIIS German Diplomat Says Money and Beautiful Women Have Been Used to Influence Public Officials. RFULIX, Aug. -ZZ That t bribes have been given to Roumanian politicians l.y the entente powers to win the Mipport of the Bucharest government is the charge made by a diplomatists interviewed by the Overseas News agency. "lioumanic--'s attitude is a consequence of the country's geograhpical location," the diplomat is quoted as saying. "It is surrounded on all sides by belligerents .Roumanian statesirren therefore are guided by their desire to spare their country damage which would be unavoidable if it became a war theater. "Since the beginning of the present conflagration the entente haa been extremely active in Iloumania, especially Russia. All Roumania is flooded with Russian spies and agents of all descriptions. The entente uses money lavishly in order to bribe politicians and buy newspapers. Kmploy Reautiful Women. "The entente further employed beautiful women to influence public opinion and leading men. This agitation reached its height at the beginning of the last Russian offensive. At the same time the entente announced an offensive by Gen. Sarrail (on the Saloniki front), which was undertaken purely for political purposes. "Now the Bulgarians have made a quick and successful advance and the Russian offensive is apparently slackening. At present Roumania is still undecided and probably will not give up the well calculated, clever neutrality which up to the present has Lrought enormous iower to the country, unless it thinks that the really decisive turn has been reached in the war. In the meantime trade relations between the central powers and Roumania continue normal and active. "Roumania has been a sphynx. It is still shrouded with a mysterious veil behind which political passion and agitations, not only of Roumanians, bu also of the entente agents, are i.t the highest pitch."

Railroad Presidents, Drafting Counter Proposals, Will Insist on Assurances That Arbitration Will Finally Settle Collateral Issues Now R aisea.

DEI! INCREASE IHMES TO COVER 0051 lr:tern.itiiuil News Serviee: WASHINGTON, Aujr. 23. The rci: iia.Rb-.ii intats hihinJ the railways of the country are now reaching , Jedsion whether they will accept tlie demand of Pres't Wilson to aree to an eihthoiir work day at a lo-hour wage rate to prevent a general railroad strike. While they are doing so the railway presidents nowhere are sparring the time. A definite decision hardly will be reached before Friday and may be deferred until early next week. But intimations reaching here from New York and Chicago make it plain that eventually Pres't Wilson will secure recognition ot the main points of his demand and the railroads will have laid the foundation tor permanency in settling wage disputes.

Following today's session of the sub-comnvttee of the raliroad presidents which has been authorised to arrange an agreement, if possible, the following statement was b sued: "A meeting of the presidents and managers was held this morning and a recess taken until 6 o'clock. "Chairman Holden stated that the report being circulated that any conclusion had been reached, was incorrect." Pass Decision Along. Following the official announcement it was learned that the executives of the majority of the railroads had passed" the decision" alons to their executive committees and wero forced to await their respective decisions. That decision may come shortly, but the majority of the railway chiefs here expect that it may be withheld until next week. For obvious reasons the r.iilway chiefs refused to admit o!!ic;ally what was transpiring, but it wa-s plain from their attitude that they felt hopeful that, in accepting" eventually tho olficial plan, they will line the president up for a program of legislation that will result in th establishment of a permanent wago UMMERS OUT FOR ARBITRATION ACT j Neither Republicans Nor Demi ocrats Want Responsibility of Compulsory Law.
