Niagara Falls, Ont, May 23.-M edia-
tion advanced step today 1t pro-
sressed from the conversation" stage
to a conference, as a result Of which 1t
vas declared the favorable outlook
has been emphasized"
For an hour this evening. the Mexi-
can and American delegates sat about
the table with the three a. b. c. me-
diators, for the first full conference
that has been held. The Mexicans had
requested the conference and it was
from them that the suggestions came.
With the adjournment, the Americans
returned to their hotel, but came back
to the Canadian side for an Informal
conversation With the mediators at 10
o'clock The American delegates met
informally with the mediators for an
hour and a half,
1t is understood that the proposition
submitted TO the Mexican delegates
dealt entirely with the question of the
constitutionalists. Despite the denial
of the fall of Saltillo issued by the dele
gates today upon receipt of instructions
from Mexico City. the general advance
and success of the rebels and the ques-
ton of the appearance of a representa-
tive of General Carranza here Is one
of the big issues. When the confer
ence stage is reached, suggestions haze
been done away with and the delegates
are ready to submit real propositions,
but just what the Mexican delegates
submitted is not known.
Statement Is Issued.
At the conclusion of the fun confer
ence the following statement was is
sued;
THE full conference was held at the
request of the Mexican representatives
for the purpose of informing the me-
diators and the American representa-
tives of the ideas of their government
concerning several interesting points of
the best solution of the present diff
Guilty
'Tn accordance with the rules laid
down in the minutes of procedure 1t
was decided to maintain secrecy in re-
gard to these points until concrete
solution shall have been reached, to
which end the informal conversations
will continue.
THE favorable outlook has been EN-
phasized by the results of this after
Moons conference"
1t was a real shock to the mediation
colony today when they were outnum-
bered and fairly smothered in a rush
of insurance men, their families and
other tourists arriving here. During
the week the mediators, the Mexicans,
their families and the various suites
and newspaper men have had full pos
session of the hotel Breaking in on
the heavy atmosphere of diplomatic
discussion and learned dissertation
upon the Mexican land question, the
new arrivals brought real human
touch to the scene.

Cannon ARE SET Up
At VARIOUS POINTS
Private Citizens Prepare to
Protect Their Homes
Chief of Police Arrested
as Suspect in Connection
With Alleged Plot.

Vera Cruz, Mexico, May 23.-Cannon
We're being secretly set up in the en-
tries of private houses in Mexico City
tonight. The fe6erals We're building
portable barriers behind which to de-
fend the main streets as the result of
the reported discovery Of a wholesale
plot to oust General Victoriano Huerta
from the provisional presidency of
Mexico, according to information
reaching here from the capital. Many
arrests We're said to have been made.
Conditions in Mexico City are near
the breaking point, it was said, and
Huerta is making active preparations
to put down an uprising. Riot and an
archy may be expected at any hour.
The plot was reported to have been
hatched by the militiaized government
employees in Mexico City.
Chief of Police Arrested.
Chief Of Police Guasque, one OF HUI
erta's most trusted adherents, has been
arrested and imprisoned in connection
with the alleged plot.
General Quireroz is the new head of
police He told refugees that more
than a dozen Of the most prominent
politicians in the capital were in the
intrigue against Huerta. Quireroz said
that the ring leaders of the plot. who
are known will not be arrested until
the full measure of their participation
is revealed
Huerta is making active prepara-
tions to guard against an outbreak
within the capital, which he antici
pates if General Francisco Villa and
Emiliano Zapata, the bandit leader,
attempt to take Mexico City. Their
attack is said to be anticipated as soon
as Villa is in possession Of San Luis
Potosi, his next objective point after
the capture of Saltillo.
Quireroz, who is the youngest gen.
eral in Huerta's service, Is secretly dis
tributing cannon throughout the city,
setting them up In the entries of pri-
vate houses. He Is also building num-
erous portable barriers which can be
set up in the streets In the event of
hostilities within the capital. Huerta
thus admittedly is expecting sedition
in the city and is preparing to hold
on until the end and fight to the last
ditch.

students are under arms. CourierJ are

Desire of Justice Is Steadily

Chief Executive.

Following is President Wilson's mes
sage to labor:
Il feel that I can in good conscience
and with a heart full of deep conf
dence, send a word of cheer, as you
suggest, to the workers of America on
this Labor Day in the interesting year
of 1914. No one can look about him
with frank eyes, either in our beloved
country or in any Of the great ma
tons Of our time which have civiliza-
ton in their hands, without feeling
that there a steady movement both
Of purpose and of action toward JUS
tice, and a fuller comprehension and
realization Of the essential rights and
liberties Of men. The movement may
be slow, may at times seem distress
ingly and discouragingly slow, but it
is unmistabable; and all that We have
to do to set it forward with ever-in-
creasing momentum Is to think justly,
purpose the things that are right, and
be afraid Of nothing except to be un'
fair and selfish and hasty when inter-
ests as great a. the country itself are
involved"

GERMAN ARMIES AREAT-
TEMPTING TO ENVELOPE
ALLIES and CRUSH THEM

Confederation of the above mention
ed theory is contained in dispatch
from Berlin, which describes the bat
tie in the difficult country between
Verdun and Rethel, as deciding con-
Aict as far as France, is concerned.
This dispatch states that the opposing
forces are almost equally divided but
that the French have the advantage of
fighting from a defensive position of
their own choosing.
Another significant factor is the gen.
eral understanding that Emperor Will
liam, in person, is inspecting the field
of operations in this neighborhood. Re-
ports disagree as to the emperor's ex-
act whereabouts but all agree that he
is in the vicinity of the French-German
border.
The conflict in this region must have
decisive results. The capture Of the
great French fortress would be ter
rible blow to France, while the repulse
of the German army would give the
French a chance to assume the Often
sive, course needed on account OF
the moral effect in the western thea
ire of war.
Meanwhile mines in the North sea
are becoming such a menace that it
may be closed to navigation during
night time. An admiralty notice, re-
Gently issued, gives the right to put
out coast lights at any time, which
would make it difficult for the German
mine layers to continue their work.

London, Sept. S.-The belief Is grow
ing that a great and decisive battle
is being fought at Verdun, the strong
fortress of France on the Meuse river
near the French frontier.
If the fourth German army, march
ing southwark, cuts off the retreat of
the French eastern armies, which re-
Gently have been holding the Ger
mans in check between Toul, forti-
fed town fourteen miles from Nancy,
and Epinal, also strongly fortified and
near the Alsace frontier, it might re-
peat the coup which in 1870 drove
Gen. Charles Sauter Bourbaki and his
army of $4,000 men into Switzerland.
!. Hopeful critics are specializing on
the possibility that the German swing
around to the south means an effort
on the part OF the invaders to make
sure of their retreat through the
Meuse district, but more likely a
scheme to strike such paralyzing
blow to the French as to render the in
vestment OF Paris safe proposition.
The southerly movement of the Ger
mans may effect a junction Of the
crown princes army Of Bavarians
which has been held on the defensive
in Lorraine. Thus the Germans would
advance from the east and north in a
vast enveloping movement destined to
crush the allies right wing by sheer
weight of numbers, just as the allies
left was pushed back during the last
fortnight.
These preliminary movements, II
showing nothing else, at least prove
that the Germans realize that the
siege of Paris and even its occupation
' is quite worthless from a strategic
! standpoint, while the allies are free in
the field.
