SOUTH AMERICANS
TO Be MEO|ATORS
PRESIDENT ACCEPTS OFFER OF
MEDIATION FROM BRAZIL,
ARGENTINA AND CHILE.
Elimination Of Huerta Said to Be Part
Of Plan Submitted by Southern
Neighbors In Proffer Of Good
Offices to Prevent War.

Washington.--War with Mexico will
In all probability be averted. Pan
American diplomacy on Saturday
made its first attempt to solve the
Mexican crisis by peaceful negotia
ton.
The United States government ac
cepted from Argentina, Brazil and
Chile a formal offer to act as inter
mediaries in the present situation, but
reservedly pointed out that an act
ct aggression by the military forces or
hostil demonstrations toward Ameri.
cans might upset hopes of immediate
peace.
The Brazilian, Argentina and Chill
can ENJOYS transmitted the United
States acceptance of their proposal
TO the Spanish ambassador, who i'm.
mediately sent 1t by cable to the Span.
fish legation at Mexico City for pres.
entation to General Huerta.
General Carranza, head of the con
stitutionalists, was informed OF II
through his representatives here.
Although the offer made by the
three south American countries did
not reveal their plans 1t was learned
that they contemplate broad settle
ment of the Mexican problem through
tho elimination of Huerta, upon which
the United States has insisted from
the beginning.

after day of worry and anxiety over
the scores OF Americans held up In
their fight from the Mexican capitol.
From those at the White House con-
ference 1t was learned that while the
president was not sanguine of the sue
cess OF the INTERPRETATION plan, he
felt 1t to be the duty of the Ameri-
can government to avail itself of the
offer OF the three great South Ameri
can countries. II was suggested that
the negotiations, even though they
might be unsuccessful, and might
serve to repress anti-Americar
