Joint Commission Expected to
Agree on Mexican Border Pa
trol by Both Countries
to Halt Banditry
VILLISTAS STILL ACTIVE
EL PASO, Te-f , July 29. Agreement by
tho United States to tho proposal that a
joint International commission settle the
differences between the United States and
Mexico Is expected by border observers
here to have tho following results:
Withdrawal of General Pershing's
expedition.
Establishment of n border patrol,
with Carranza and American soldiers
co-operating.
Financial nld to the Carranza Gov
ernment All these developments nro not immi
nent, however. General Tershlng Is pre
paring for a stay of several months In
Mexico, and his expedition wilt not bo
withdrawn until tho commission has
roached a final settlement. In this tho
Mexican representatives must show that the
border patrol which Is planned will bo ef
fective on tho south side of tho Interna
tional boundary.
The most Important Immediate result may
be that First Chief Carranza will rccelvo
financial backing for his government. In
somo quarters here It Is asserted thnt Car
ranza has won n diplomatic victory that
will win to his support a number of Ameri
can financiers who had hitherto refused
him monetary nld.
The establishment of an effective border
patrol probably will keep the American
troops now at the border nt their stations
for several months.
Members of the Legallntn Junta hero, who
havo been silent for many days, nroused
themselves at the 'report of tho two Gov
ernments' agreement nnd declared that
"Pancho" Vllln had offered to quit Mexico
If the Lcgnllsta plan of government gains
headway, Tho Legallstas havo boon play
ing to Villa from tho first. Their greatest
tactical move In this direction was tha
promlso that former Mndcro officers would
play a big part In the new organization.
Word of Villa himself Is vnguo. But It Is
known for a fact that his bands are active
along tho Durango State line, and some
of thorn are raiding far north In Chlhunhua.
Tho Villa band reportod In tho vicinity
of OJInaga seems to havo been scared oft
by the rushing of American troops to a
point on tho bordor whero a raid could be
mot by swift retribution.
Another band Is reported 300 miles from
tho International boundary lino on tho
Chlhuahua-Sonora border. Gonernl Matins
Ramos, of Carranza's nrmy of tho north,
continues to report successful engagements
with VUllsta regiments.

REDOUBLE VIGILANCE
AGAINST ALLIED SPIES
Submarine's Promoters Grow
More Nervous as Two More
British Tramp Vessels Ap
pear in Baltimore
ALARMED BY REPORTERS
BALTIMORE, July 29. Fear of Spies
has grown to nn obsession with certain pro
moters of the German subsca freighter
Deutnchland today.
With two additional Drltish tramp ves
sels In the harbor for cargo and the Brit
isher Ardgryfe mnklng no movo to load,
tho Deutschlnnd watchers have developed nn
unusual nervousness.
Even trivial things worry them. An ex
pedition from their tug, the Tlmmlns, for
Instance, went hurriedly to the long private
pier to which press boats nro tied, after n
discovery that a private. telephone line had
been Installed there. Tho press men saw
to It that no step was tnken to remove tho
wires, for they knew that tho Germans made
efforts along tho waterfront for scvernl days
to clear nway newspapermen and prevent
their obtaining boars.
Tho tlmo of tho Deutschland's departure Is
stltl nn unsolved nnd apparently unsolvable
mystery. All the talk Is that Bho Is
going out "within days," but tho truth Is
not in tho rumor-mongers that swarm the
waterfront
Indications are that the Deutschland pro
moters arc not unduly alarmed about tho
fato of the Deutschland's sister ship, tho
Dromon, though they will bo If sho does not
appear In tho next fow days.
WASHINGTON, July 29. It Is sug
gested thcro mny bo an Interesting story
bohlnd tho report that n British cruiser wns
sighted In Chesapeake Bay by tho United
States warship Louisiana last Tuesday
morning. Somo think thnt when the truth
Is 'known It will bo found pro-Gorman sea
men fitted up a ship and followed tho Loust
lana with n view to giving her tho British
signal for the purposo of arousing sus
picion that tho British patrol outsldo tho
three-mile limit Is sneaking In. Tho purpose
of such a movo would bo to causo tha
United States to Increaso efforts to prevent
any violation of neutrality whon tha
Deutschland makes a start for home.
Commandor Phelps, of the Louisiana, has
sent a second nnd fuller report of tho Inci
dent, which says:
"About 2:45 a. m. Tuesday, July 2E, tho
Loulbtana, then standing for an nnchorago
In Lynhavon Bay, a vessel carrying man-of-war
lights, without any other Illumina
tion 'whatever, catno up on tho starboard
quarter of the Louisiana, distant perhaps
not more than 7G0 yards, heading for the
channel Into Hampton Roads.
"Tho Louisiana blinkered Interrogatory
to her several times and turned on man-of-war
lights. Finally sho answered
(blinker) 'English cruiser.' Sho signaled
very rapidly, causing the Louisiana to have
her repeat more than once until wo were
suro of her Blgn.il. She disappeared In tho
darkness toward tho channel to Hampton
Roads.
"I did not signal to ask her name and
her Intentions because her actions had not
seemed suspicious to me Inasmuch as sho
seemed fairly to dlscloso her presence,
seemed fairly standing for Hampton Roads
and left mo with tho feeling thnt sho was
actually going Into port nnd would bo found
off Fort Monroe In the morning,"
NORFOLK, July 20. Lieutenant Com
mander Shane, of the United States collier
Neptune, said ho had forwnrded nn official
report to Washington corroborating tho
statement from tho Louisiana that nn un
identified warship was within tho Virginia
Capes last Tuesday morning.
Members of the Neptune's crew declared
Bhe was just tnaido the Capes when she
saw signaling between tho Louisiana and
another ship carrying man-of-war lights.
After the exchnngo tho unidentified ship
passed further up tho channel toward
Hampton Roads. Half an hour later the
mystery ship was seen heading outward
carrying lights signifying she was a man-of-war.
Tho Neptune signaled, but she
did not reply.

POPE PRAYS TO LORD OF MERCIES
TO END AWFUL CARNAGE OF WAR
CcvvrloM, lttt, ty United Trtu,
NEW YORK, July 29.
rpHE United Press today received the following message from Pope Benedict,
through the agency of Cardinal Gasparri :
To the United Press Association, New York, U. S. A.,
I have presented your telegram to the Holy Father. His Holi
ness is grateful for your respect and confidence in tho Holy See.
He prays that tho Lord of Mercies, moved by the prayers of
innocent children imploring peace on this second anniversary of tho
terrible conflict, shall deign to end speedily this awful carnage.
GASPARRI.
The foregoing translation of the message transmitted by the Papal Sec
retary of State was made by Monsignor Lavelle, of St. Patrick's Cathedral,
who, on behalf of Cardinal Farley, added!
His Eminence, Cardinal Farley, is not at home, but his whole
heart re-echoes the sentiment of the Holy Father.
By the Cardinal's direction, nil the priests are praying for peaco
every day nt the altar. They are constantly urging to the same
pious practice all the people, and especially tho innocent children bo
touchingly alluded to in the papal telegram.
Tho message from the Pope appealing for peaco through the prayers of
tho innocent children of tho world was in response to a cablegram sent by
the United Press from New York, supplementing n request made at tho
Vatican by John H. Hcaly, United Press staff correspondent, for a statement
on the second anniversary of tho war. The cablegram requested "a papal
statement to the American people nnd through America to the world."

a rich mantlo of crmlno nnd nnblo, a glit
tering crown upon hor bonny head, Queen
Claire I, othcrwlso Miss Clalro Heleno
Roesch, a Philadelphia girl, upon her bnrgo
of state, led Atlantic City's annual marine
pageant, a magnificent spectnelo of hand
some craft, fluttering flags and flowers up
and down tho smooth waters of the Inland
waterway this morning.
Fifteen thousand persons thronging tho
bulkheads from Dorset avenue In Vcntnor
to tho automobile brldgo at Albany avenue,
Chelsea, nnd lining tha porches of many
handsome boathouso homes along tho route,
witnessed as pretty n spectacle as oven
Atlantic City over has provided for tho
edification of Its residents and visitors. A
crowd of several hundred persons, com
prising many of tho most fashionable ma
trons of tho Chelsea and Ventnor colonics,
mado tho clubhouso of the Cholsca Yacht
Club at Aberdeen plnce a rendezvous, and
a band gaily playing appropriate airs kept
tho crowds of spectators upon tho docks and
bulkheads In gay spirits.
Tho parade was lato In getting under
way. Trouble was encountered In tho first
Instanco In getting Queen Claire's offlclnl
barge, a ponderous nffalr, to tho starting
placo In tho Northfleld Canal.
Two small motorboats disguised as swans,
appointed to tow royalty, proved Inadequate
to tho task In tho face of a stiff breezo and
an even more stlfT tide sweeping through
tho State-dredged waterway which marks
tho western boundary of Chelsea and Vcnt
nor. Finally a Targer craft was pressed
Into commission, and from that tlmo for
ward everything moved with absoluto
smoothness.
It was nearly 11 o'clock when tho cry
went up at tho Chelsea Club that tho parade
was coming. Up tho slightly ruffled water
way under a cloudless sky, with sunshine
bathing the scene, moved tho cruiser New
Jersey, flagship of New Jersey's navy, as
escort for tho queen. Then came the In
spector, nleo a Stato boat, saluting as It
passed Captain Dan Boskorck, Unltod
Stntes coast guard, whose presence In a
trim course boat lent Federal sanction to
this initial naval day celebration at the
shore.
Then while thousands lifted their voices
Queen Clalro's magnificent barge swung past
In tow of tr cruiser Taureg II, owned by
F. Lelghto. Kramer, of Philadelphia, and
proceeded r? ' flotilla of sea scouts In im
maculate whl duck uniforms. Tho barge
of state, gay with bunting and waving
palms, was surrounded by a dais with
decorations of roynl purplo hangings, upon
which In a golden throne sat Queen Claire,
her ladles In waiting, Miss Helcne Matilda
Roesch, hor sister, and Miss Ida May Vare,
daughter of Congressman and Mrs. Wil
liam H. Vare, beside her. Before the throne
wero ranged her four pages. They were
Miss Eleanor Styron, Miss Mildred Vare,
Miss Elizabeth O'Meara, Miss Dorothy
Young. Miss Lillian Blaess and Miss Eliza
beth Chled. In tho waist of tho barge six
heralds in court costumes blew blasts to
the cheering populace.
VARE AT THE WHEEL.
Then followed -10 or mora largo
and
small craft, all gorgeously bedecked with
flags, bunting nnd flowers. Congressman
Varo stood at the wheel of the Bittersweet,
a fine cruiser, carrying a big flag, Inscribed
"Champion," to signify Its victories In many
closely contested races.
The Peggy, flagship of Commodore Sam
uel W. Whan, another Phlladelphlan, car
ried Mayor Bacharach and the City Com
missioners and members of the Carnival
Committee.
The Gavlota II, owned by John Hunter,
of Philadelphia, was literally covered with
bunting and won applause along the whole
route.
Tho Hornet, another Philadelphia entry,
commanded general admiration.

Philadelphia Is getting a respite from th
suffering of tho heat and humidity wavas
today. George S. Bliss, weather forecasted
announced this morning that today and to-
night will be altogether comfortable.
A high barometilc pressure area has set
tled down the) coast, Including the city. With
It have como pooling breezes that have dried
tho air and caused tho decrease In humid'
Ity. Tho percentage of humidity at 8 o'clock
this morning wns 63, compared with 8 1 Tier
cent at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. The
temperature at 8 this morning vras 67, com
pared with 72 yesterday.
All this comes as a relief to a month
which has recorded tha greatest percentage
of humidity of any month since the
Weather Bureau was established In Phlla
delphla In 1888. The humidity has been
causing tho suffering. The average (era
Prature in the 28 days of the month really
was only one degree nbovo normal.
This heat wave, or, to be mora exact,
humidity wave, was caused primarily by the
"Bermuda high." A heavy atmospheric)
pressure In tho Atlantic about Bermuda,
Island pushed the tropical weather In.
Warm winds, laden with a very thin mist,
camo across tho Atlantic seaboard Statea
from this pressure point to the southeast.
They continued across tho country as far as
tho Rocky Mountains, heating especially tho
lako regions, tho upper Mississippi valley
and the northern plains States, and caus
ing much Buffering and damage to the crops.
When atmospheric pressure accumulated
in tho northwest of tho United States and
drifted across tho country near the Cana
dian boundary, opposing winds developed
which relieved thoso from the Atlantic
When this pressuro reached the SL Law

whero tho cooling winds nro coming from.
Predictions wero that tho West will con
tinue to suffer Indefinitely. Sections of tha
East that havo had cool weather for tha
last day or two will b'cgtn to "warm Up"
