QUESTION IIS TOSETTLEMW Re-Establishment Of Credit May Be Awaited By Doited States. ,W)0,000,0()0 LIKELY NEEDED Washington, Opt. 23. European Governments are making Inquiries of the United States as to what as surances have been, given by the nowly-recognized Mexican Govern ment with respect to foreign claims. It Is generally understood that the Powers of Europe will follow tho lead of the American republics In recognizing Carranza, but It became known that before taking the step they want to know more specifically what settlement Is to be made of the huge claims growing out of the rovolutionary conditions of the last few years. Gen. Carranza has decided to ap point several mixed commissions to be composed of representatives of the Interested nations in order that an equitable settlement may be reached. The question of claims is related so closely to the financial rehabilitation of Mexico that it is unlikely that the United States Gov ernment will press its claims until Mexican credit has been firmly re established and arrangements made for payment of the Southern Repub lic's national obligations. As yet no move has been made by the Carranza Government to obtain a loan, but it is considered certain. that in view of the condition of Eu ropean markets, funds with which vto finance the new Government will be sought in the United States. The sum needed has boon variously esti mated from a hundred million to three hundred million dollars. It is not believed In well informed quar ters that any loan will be negotiated, however, until a new Congress ha been elected and the constitution- order begun, probably six months hence. Official evidence of recognition or the Carranza Government was given by the Stato Department O day in the delivery to Elseo Arre dondo, of an Invitation asking the United States of Mexico to send del egates to and participate In the In ternational Scientific Congress here next December.

A TEST OF EQUAL SUFFRAGE Eight States New York, Massa chusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio and Mississippi will hold elections on Tuesday, November 2. In 'four of these States, Massachu setts; Maryland, Kentucky and Mis sissippi, Governors are to be elect ed; In six States, New York, Massa chusetts,' Maryland, New Jersey, Kentucky and Mississippi, the State Legislatures, in whole or' In part, are to be elected, and In five States, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio, important constitutional issues are to be decid ed. With a few local exceptions. In fact, these constitutional questions will bo the dominant Issue 6n elec tion day, including as they do such fundamental matters as woman suf frage, municipal home rule, prohi bition, State income taxes, referen dum plans and some lesser reforms. The woman suffrage question will come up for decision In New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, which States will furnish, in point of population, the greatest test the suf fragej6sue has ever .had In the Unit ed States. New "Jersey, the first Stato in the -East to vote on equal suffrage, -defeated the proposition at a special election 'given over exclu sively tq the suffrage question on Oc tober 19. While it has been held by some political observers that the result of the test in New Jersey would be re liably indicative of what might be expected In the three bigger neigh boring States, the suffrage loaders have not been discouraged by the big majority with which the Issue was defeated in New Jersey, and look forward to the biggest test with confidence. The Importance of this test is In dicated by the fact that, in point of population, the States of New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, which will vote on suffrage Novem ber 2, Include over 20,000,000 peo ple a fifth ot tho population of tho entlro United Statcsj and these 20, 000,000 are practically double the population of the States In which equal suff"ago has as yot been fully achieved, ENGI ,ISH YOUTHS FLEE TO AYOID ARMY SERVK'l London, Oct. 23.
