WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
WEAR HOPEFUL, SMILE


Washington, June .2.-Administra-
tion officials whose hopes for peace
in Mexico had been somewhat damp
ened by events of tive past week, wore
hopeful smiles again to-day, when tho
announcement came rrom Niagara Falls
that the United States had invited rep
resentatives Of the Constitutionalists
TO meet the American and Huerta dele
gates TO the mediation conference for
An informal discussion of peace pro-
posals.
That the United States had for some
time been eSerting strong influence to
bring tho Constitutionalists into the
conference upon such a basis-one that
would not involve an armistice-was
not denied here. The intimation was
given that this influence had met with
success and that before many days rep
resentatives OF the ,Constitutionalists
would proceed to Niagara Falls. This
development. 1t Is declared. is an as
surance that mediation Will be pro-
lonEed with increased hope for an ulti-
mato agreement upon provisional
government.
Administration officials to-day indi-
Gated that the plan Of averting an alb
rupt end to mediation now presented
would be prophetic OF results. They
looked for prompt response from the
Constitutionalist leaders, but did not
anticipate any new developments In the
actual provisional government plan to
be devised until representatives OF the
United States and the warning Mexican
factions had dellberated.
Villas military campaign against
Mexico City is expected to wage with
increas sed visor. It is suggested here
that Huerta might resign and be out
OF the way before Villas army could
reach Mexico City, and that there
would be no reason for further con-
quest pending the outcome OF media
