T MEXICAN BATTLE ON TEXAS BORDER. Americans Crowded the Hills on Ari- zona Side to Watch the Fighting. Nogales, Ariz, Aug. 4—A Carranza force under General Pelias Calles to- day attacked Nogales, Sonora, held by & Villa force under Governor Maytore- na, and may occup the town tonight although Maytorena has ordered his men to resist to the last. A regiment of United States infan. try, two troops of calvary and & m: chine gun platoon lined the border to check any invasion of American rights by the Mexican factions.

Washington, Aug. 4—Elaborate sta- tistics have been assembled by the state department to refute the Hritish assumption that increased exportations from the United States to Holland and Scandinavian countries indicate that some of these goods are finding their way into Germanv and Austria. The figures will be included in a pre- liminary draft being prepared for Pres- ident Wilson, of the reply to the three British notes made public yesterday. A study of trade conditions between the United States and neutral Euro- pean countries has been made by the state department and investigations of Scandinavian and Dutch trade by the department of commerce. A report from Consul General Skinner at Lon- don also has been received on the forelgn trade of Great Britain for the six months ending June 30. It shows that exports to the Scandinavian coun- tries and Holland have increased since the war began along the same lines as American expo! to those countries. The state delgjn.ment will contend that there can be no more assumption that American goods going to. these neutral countries are bound for bound for Germany than that as regards ex- ports there will reach Great Brtain's enemies.

Five Shops in New York, Emploping 3,000, Have Granted Demand. New York, Aug. 4—J. J. Keppler, ‘vice president o fthe International As. sociation of Machinists, anounced to- day that five shops in the New York district, employing in all trades dbout ,000persons, had granted the elght our work day and a general increase in wages. The names of these flve shops, Mr. Keppler said, were with- held at the request of the employers, but may be made public later when the general campaign that has been insti- tuted by the machinists for the eight hour #7y is further advanced. International President William H. Johnston of the machinists, who ar- rived today from Washington, was in consultation with officers of the local unions and a conference, at ‘which President Johnston will meet the gen- eral organizers from all New England states, will be held at Hartford, Conn., Sunday. This conference will be fol- lowed by similar meetings in_different parts of the district each week. The situation with respect to the Garvic Machine shops here, where severa: hundred men are out, and the Bliss plant in Brookyn, where nego- tiations are in progress, is unchanged, Mr. Keppler asserted. “TLe net result to date of the eight hour campaign that was begun at Bridgeport,” said Mr. Keppler, “is that thousands ‘of workingmen and women have been benefited throughout the eastern states with increased wages and with better hours. While com- paratively only a small number of these persons are machinists, the em- plopes in other branches of _ work where machinists are employed are sharing in the benefits of the campalgn of our organization.

All advices from the island republic relating to condi- tions there are being forwarded to the summer White House as rapidly as_they arrive. Secretary Lansing has spent several hours each day lately in conference Wwith Americans familiar with Haiti. No political steps have been determ- ined upon by this government, how- ever, and probably none will be plan- ned until some form of government has been established with which the TUnited States may negotiate. Advices from Rear Admiral Caper- ton today indicated that the peace commission despatched from Port au Prince to Cape Haitien to persuade the revolutionists to disarm, did not succeed. With the arrival of the battleship Connecticut at Port au Prince today Admiral Caperton has a maximum force of 1,300 men available for use in an emergency. . e I STRIKE OF 60,000 LADIES" GARMENT WORKERS AVERTED Increase in Wages, Although Full De- rands Were Not Granted. New York, Aug. 4—A strike of 60, 000 members of the International Ladies' Garment Workers Unfon was everted late today by Mayor Mitchel's conciliation council, which finally ad- justed all Gifferences after twenty- three sessions. While the union al- ready had voted almost unanimously on a walkout and had given the man. ufacturers until midnight last night (u ino wis the time for all good men to accede to the findings of the coun- cil, further time was allowed for to- day's conference, at which the ques- tions involved could be reviewed. The new scale of wages gave work- ers in.various departments an in- crease which was acceptable, although the full demands were not granted. The settiement was not a compromise, the split scale being adopted in the fixed weekly salary allowances. There also was an increase for Plece-work- ers. War-Rulers Throughout England. London, Aug. 4, 8.55 p. m.—Having in the churches throughout the land this morning “commended our cause to the hands and judgment of the all- wise Ruler of the Universe,” the British people at public meetings held tonight in every city, town and ham- let in the United Kingdom, dominions and colonies reaffirmed their intention 12 .prosecute the war-to e successful A conclusion, o trea German Note REFUSES TO CONCEDE IT WAS VIOLATION OF AMERICAN RIGHTS PAYMENT OF DAMAGES When the Amount is Fixed by Two Experts, One to Be Selected by Each Country—Invites Arbitration at the Hague. Washington, Aug. 4—Germany is unusually " determined in “er refusal to concede that the sinking of the American salling ship William P. Frye, by the auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich in the South Atlantic last January was a violation of American rights under the Prussian-American treaty or International law. Experts to Decide Damages. In reply to the last representations of the United States, the German for- eign office in a note made public here tonight by the state department, reit- erates a previous justification of Ger- many’s course, declares again her wil- lingness to pay for the ship and ac- cepts a proposal first advanced by the United States—that the amount of damages be fixed by two experts, one to be selected by each country. * Pledges Prompt Payment Such a sum the German government pledges itself to pay promptly, with the stipulation, however, that the pay- ment shall not be viewed as a satis- faction for violation of ~ American rights; Should that method be unsat- isfactory, Germany invites the United States to arbitration at The Hague The unofficial view here is that rep- aration by a commission of experts probably will be satisfactory to the United States with the express pro- vision, however, that it is not a waiver of treaty rights for which the Amer- ican government contends, but applies only % the mafter of damages It is virtually certain that if the United States allows the dispute to g0 to The Hague for interpretation of the treaty provision or continues the aca- demic discussion of principles through the channel of diplomacy, it will in- sist that meanwhile Germany refrain from violation of what the United States contends are its rights What Dispute Revolves About The entire dispute. revolves about Article 13 of the Prussian-American v of 1799, which was revived and included in the treaty of 1828. That article, the United States contends, specifically protected .the William P. Frye from being sunk, aithough it did not protect a contraband cargo. Ger- many takes precisely an oppusite view, contending that the article only obli- gates her to pay damages. Further- more, Germany replies that as_the Frye's cargo of wheat destined to Eng- land was contraband the ship was li- able to confiscation and that as an at- tempt to take the prize into a German port would have imperilled her cap- tor, the destruction of the Frye, “was according to general principles of in- ternational law Rights of Belligerents. “The right of sinking,” says the German note, “is not mentioned in the treaty and is therefore neither ex- pressly permitted nor expressly pro- hibited, so that on this point the party stipulations must be supplemented by the general rules of international law. * "+ * It is not disputed by the American government that according to the general principles of interna- tional la wa belligerent is authorized in sinking neutral vessels, under al- most any conditions for carrying con- traband.” The Disputed Treaty Provisions. The note argues at length for the German interpretation of the disputed treaty provisions, contending that its intent is to establish a reasonable com- promise between the military inter- ests of the belligerent contracting par- ty and the commercial interests of the neutral party. “On the one hand,” says the note, “the belligerent party is to have the right to prevent the trangportation of war_supplies to his adversaries, even wfen carried on vessels of the neutral party; on the other hand the commerce and navigation of the neu- tral party is to be interfered with as little as possible by the measures nec- essaty for such prevention, and rea- sonable compensation is to be paid for any inconvenience or damage which may, nevertheless, ensue from the pro- ceeding of the belligerent party Interpretation of Treaty. That, in short, is Germany's argu- ment, based on her interpretation of the {reaty, and to that the view of the United States is squarely opposed. Payment for the Frye in the manner suggested will not affect the ques- tion of rights under the treaty. Case of the Leelanaw. “¥3 A German prize court on July 10 held the imperial government for damages, but fixed no amount since the United States declined to become a party to the proceedings, demanding settlement by diplo} under the treaty. The case the American steamer Leelanaw, recently sunk by a German submarine, is parallel to the Frye case. It is now in the prelim- inary stages of diplomatic negotiation.

Three Inches of Rain in Four Hours. Nearly three inches of rain fell in four hours at Sandy Hook, where a southeaster lashed the ocean into fury. Vessels were held up at the harbor en- trance, and during the height of the gale a small schooner, the M. V_ B. Chase, from Cheverie, U. S., to Nor- folk, with plaster, surrendered to the elements off Scotland hghtship and found the bottom. Her captain, —— Tuttle, and E. Martin, a Swedish sa or, wers drowned.
