Will liam Bayard Hale. personal repre- sentative of President Wilson, met the constitutionalist chief, General Carranza. and his cabinet, and pre- sented to them d definite proposal from the American government. What that proposal was the American diplomatic agent declined to say.
 The Mexican revolutionary leader was also silent, but to thoee who have been anxiously awaiting the development of the American policy with regard to Mexico it was fraught with possibilities for the destinies of the war torn republic, and her re!a- tions with her northern neighbOr.
 In a little tiny room of the tiny aduana, or customs house. in which CarranZa has established his "ad in terim' capital the American emissaly v.as ushered to meet the chiefs in the rebellion against Huerta. Car ranza and his entire cabinet Were there and Hale conferred with them. exchanged views and impressions, and consulted from noon until the shad- Cws grew long and cnveloped the twin town of Nogales. United States, and Nogales. Mexico.
 Both towns unanimously decided the conference was the most DOT tentOus in their history, Their pco- pleS frankly believed It was making history. and that on it's outcome de pended the fate-not merely the vic tcry CT defeat for a single political party in Mexico-but possibly peace C. war for the two countries, and probably the salvation or destruction of nation.
 The conference was held amidst the simplest surroundings. There were no uniforms and no ceremony. Hale, accompanied by American Con sul Simpich, entered the customs house and was ushered into a tiny room. There they found straight hack chairs lining the walls. The only decoration was gilded coat Of arms of the republic of Mexico. This was hung over the place reserved for Carranza. Hale was dressed in tray cling tweeds and was surrounded by MeXicans in sOmber blacks and gr2ys.
 Ygnacio BOnillas. an American university alumnus and Carranza' s minister of fomento and communica tloHSs was Ille OIllCldl interpreter TOT the American representative ana Carranza.
 BoniIlas took President Wilson g proposition from Hale and in Spanish presented it to the rebel chieftain. During the hours the men were in conference a throng of anxious Mex jeans paced the patton aduana. Across the boundary, on the American side Of the street dividing the two towns, there were several hundred American refugees from Mexico who eagerly awaited news from the conference chamber, believing the safety of their possessions left in Mexico when they took the presidents advice to get out of that country, depended on tha outcome. But no word as to What President Wilson proposed to Car ranza. through Hale, or what Car r@nza thought of it. leaked out
 Hale went direct from the confer cnce room to the American side and entered into communication with Washington
