Acting Secretary Folk conferred again today with Liseo Arredondo, General Carranza's ambassador, but the conferees had no announcement to make. Apparently, acceptance of the commission plan is awaiting General Carranza's reply to amendments proposed by the Washington government to his suggestion, the nature of which has not been revealed.
Mr. Polk is keeping both President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, now absent on vacation, advised of each step taken.
The note of July 11, as published in Mexico City, would limit the proposed commission to discussion of three specific points: withdrawal of American troops from Mexico; arrangements of a reciprocal agreement, under which the troops of either government might cross the border in pursuit of bandits, and investigation of the bandit raids on American towns to determine what interests promoted them in an effort to force intervention.
EFFORT TO WIDELY MOPPED OF COMMISSION'S ACTIVITIES
There have been intimations that President Wilson might much greater results could be accomplished toward restoration of tranquility and stable government in Mexico than this limited field would permit. For that reason, it was inferred that the present effort of Mr. Polk probably was directed toward widening the scope of the commission's activities, and that General Carranza's answer on this suggestion must be received before a final decision could be reached.
Gossip as to the probable American membership of the commission indicated that men of high position and ability, whose names are known throughout the country, would be included in the commission's program.  nationally, would be elected to represent the United States, in order to assure General Carranza that the best thought of the nation would be given to the task.
