VILLA GOES ON
PEACE MISSION
With General 0bregon Departs to Settle
Threatened Revolution Against
Carranza.

FL Paso, Tex, Aug. 2s.--Generals Villa
and Obregon left early yesterday on
what they termed mission OF peace,
designed to settle the disturbance in
Sonora, where revolution against the
Carranza central government has been
started by Governor Maytorena.
They crossed the international bound
ary in special train with their staff
officers and small unarmed escort. The
two Mexican generals were entertained
Wednesday by General Pershing, the
commander of the American troops at
Fort Bliss, Tex.
The train stopped first at Douglas,
Ariz., opposite Aqua, Prista, where the
Carranza forces established themselves
after evacuating Nogales, leaving May
torena's Indian troops in possession.
After conference with officials there,
Villa and Obregon will proceed to No
gales to confer with Maytorena. An
escort of American soldiers accompanied
the train.

ITALY LIKELY TO ENTER WAR.
Washington So Interprets Recent Moves
Would Injure Kaiser.

Washington. Aug. est is believed here
that Italy must soon decide whether or
not she is to take hand in the Euro
pean war. The state department has
official advices which Indicate that while
the Italian government is preparing to
mobilize its army, apparently it has
reached no decision as to whether armed
Intervention will be made and has given
no indication as to whether it viii side
with the German Austrian alliance or
with the triple entente.
Ii is known here that Italy has been
DESTROYS from the start of maintaining
strict neutrality, but great pressure has
been brought to bear upon her by Aus
tria and Germany to enter the conflict.
Public opinion in Italy, however, has
been against aiding Austria, and it is
believed here that any attempt 10 force
the Italian soldiers 10 fight with the
Austrians would mean revolution in
italy. Because of the hatred of the Ital-
ian people for Austria, it is believed
here that IL Italy decides TO enter the
war she will not be found fighting on the
side of Austria.
Advices from different parts of Ger
many show the Germans have aban-
doned all hope of having italian assist
ance in the war and will now be content
if Italy continues TO be neutral. Ger
many is said TO be fearful that Italy
will decide to fight against Austria.
The belief in official quarters here Is
that il win be impossible for Italy to
remains neutral much longer.

JAPAN WILL SEND NO

Nothing is more absurd than the pur-
port OF London telegram appearing in
some OF the papers this morning inti-
mating that Japan's answer to the Aus

patch of a squadron to the Adriatic
~rhe terms of the Anglo-Saxon al
lance solely under which Japan is act

Japan to 90 that far; nor is there any
interest or inducement whatever for
Japan to embroil herself in fulfilling her
obligations under and in achieving the
object of the Anglo-Japanese alliance

Moreover, it would be ridiculous to
imagine even for a moment, in the pres
ent circumstances, that Great Britain is
compelled to call upon her far-otf ally to
come all the way out to the assistance
of her Mediterranean fleet. The idea is

II. S. FRAMING
APPEAL TO STOP
WAR ATROCITIES
Protests from All Powers Pour Into
ashington-President and Secre-
tary of State Feel Respon-
sibility Keenly.

Washington, Aug. 2SAs the one
great power strictly neutral in the pres
emit war. the United States yesterday
faced a peculiar situation and a delicate
duty as the recipient of protests from
the various warning nations regarding
alleged violations of The Hague conven-
tons and international law.
President Wilson and Secretary OF
state Bryan according to authoritative
information, feel this responsibility keen
w. They are loath to act, however, I'M
til formal protests are in such shape
that general appeal to all countries
involved co adhere strictly to recognized
war practices can be made. Reluctance
to seemingly take sides by apparent
ly Gliding any particular power for al
legged infractions of martial etiquette
is another factor.
Charges and eountercharges OF Ger
mans. Belgians. French and British form
conflicting maze to be carefully con-
sidered by this government. While the
warning powers are accusing one anoth-
or of violations of military and inter
national law. such as the slaughter of
non-combatants, use by Germans of Yep
pelin bomb-throwers and the planting of
floating mines endangering neutral ship
ping. only few formal protests have
officially reached this government.
These protests are to be made TO all
the world powers not at war, but officials
here believed action devolves largely
upon the United States.
A Joint appeal-in general terms with
out citing specific acts-to all the war
ring nations will be issued by this gov
eminent, il is believed.

IN THE FIELD
OF SPORTS

Fritz Maisel, the little third sacker OF
the Highlanders, is the leading base
steaIer OF the American league. Maisel
is wonder, but has one great fault
and that is that he takes altogether too
many chances on the bases. The Chance
men are deprived often of runs by fool
ish attempts on the part OF Maisei.
Rube Marquard and al Demaree, who
are supposed to be McGraw's most steady
pitchers, are very uncertain this season
in their work. McGraw has not been
able to depend on either for the past
few months. Mathewson is the only de-
pendable twirler on the staff. Should
the Giants win the National league pen
nant, MeGraw viii not stand very
strong show unless his pitchers have a
reversal of form.
Pitcher Charlie Smith, who was recent
ly released by the Cubs, was formerly
a Red Sox pitcher. Smith also played
with the Newark club in the lnterna-
tional league. He was, during his sery-
ice with the Red Sox and Senators, one
of the mainstay pitchers of the Amer
lean league. He was released because of
a sore arm.
According to figures given out this
week Witt is leading the st. Johnsbury
batters with .43s, while Charlie Hoernle
ranks second with $50. Joe Moore is
batting for .324.
Hughie Jennings says that it is a
mistake not to follow out a tip on a
hall PLAYER. He cites the instance OF
Walter johnson, who might have been
a Tiger had Jennings looked him over.
Simon Bowden, the University Of
Georgia athlete, is said to be a coming
Tv Cobb. Bowden has been signed by
the st. Louis Browns. He has been
playing with Macon, Ga, and will re-
port at st. Louis on Sept. !. At col
iere he was an a!laround athlete. He
is very clean-eut player and a veritahle
whirlwInd.
There is much talk over the sale Of
Moran by the Reds TO Boston. There
is talk that move is under foot TO
trim the Giants out of the pennant. The
Braves have been buying players right
and left Of late.
Pitcher Ring, who has been with the
Lowell club for the past few seasons,
has been bought by the New York
Americans. Ring signed a six months
contract for 1918.
II is quite likely that Jim Thorpe viii
be used in the Giant outfeld next sea
son. Thorpe has been with McGrsw now
for two seasons, and the little generals
confidence in the Indian was shown this
week when he signed him for 1918 and
