One copy was 'taken by Alberto J. Pani, of the Mexican commission, who left here for New York, whence he will start Monday for Queretaro, to submit it to General Carranza for ap proval. The other copy will be de livered to the American Government by Secretary of the Interior Lane, chairman of the American commis sion, who left for Washington. if the protocol is ratified by the two Governments, the commisdon will convene again on December b to resume the discussion of other ques tions affacting the two countries, es pecially those related to the protec tion of life and proprty of Ameri cans and other foreigners in Mexico. If ratifleation by either Government is withheld the work of the confer ence will be declared at an end. Following is a paraphrase of the agreement: First-The American troops now in Chihuahua commanded by Gen. John J. Pershing, shall be withdrawn within 40 days from the signing of the protocol by the respective Governments provided that within that time the condit ions in that part of Mexico have not become such as to endanger the American border. In such cvent the time shall be extended.

Third-It shall be left to the commanding officers of the ar mies on the border of both Na tions to enter into such arrange ments for co-operation in opera tions against bandits whenever it is possible. The right of the American Govern menlt to send troops across tihe bor der ill pursuit of bandits was not in corpiorated in the protocol, b~ut was mnadle tihe subject of a supplemental memor-andum.

The first intimation received here that Emperor Francis Joseph's health was again the subject of solicitation was contained in a dispatch dated No vember 12, emanating from a Vienna news agency which reported that the Emperor had been suffering for some days from a slight catarrhal affection. Archduke Charles Francis, grand nephew of Emperor F1rancis Joseph, became heir to the throne of Austria Hungary by the assassination of Arch duke Francis Fredinand prior to the outbreak of the war. He has been in command of the Austrian armies on various fronts during the past two years. Archduke Charles Francis was born on August 17, 1887. His wife was Princess Zita of the Bourbon House of Parma. His father was Archduke Otto, who was the younger brother of Francis Ferdinand. On Throne 68 Years. The depth of Francis Jospeh is a remarkable climax to the long list of tragedies in the Hapsburg family-a list unparalleled in any other reigning houses in Europe. He dies in the midst of the world's greatest war, which he himself largely brought about by hi dletermination to avenge the act -. assassination of his heir, -the Archdukt Francis Ferdinand, as the result of ai alleged Serbiani conspiracy, walhe on state visit to Bosnio on June 38. 1914 Francis Joseph was 86 yeat s ol( at the time of his death. He was oor: August 18, 1830. He was only 19 years of age wvhen he ascended the thron< of Austria, upon the abdication of hi! uncle, Ferdinand I., December 2, 1848 Imaking his active ieign extend over Iperiodl of 68 years, all but the first 2( of which he wa's also ApostWolic King of H-ungary.
