Peace PROTOCOL
Within week IS
CAPITAL 5 Hope
Now Believed Certain That
Carranza Will be Party
TO Plan
HUERTA'S VIEWS ALSO
Will Be Considered
BY JOHN EDWIN NEvIN.

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 12.-That
protocol containing the Mexican
peace plan will be ready for signing
by the middle OF next week, was the
confident belief of high officials here
today. It is believed certain that
Carranza will be a party to the plan.
His acceptance OF the invitation to be
represented will reach the A. b. c.
mediators today. He is expected to
name men already on the ground or
from the membership Of the junta
here. But in the meanwhile, the me-
diators will go ahead with their pro-
gram and Secretary of State Bryan Is
very confident that Carranza will ac-
cept the plan espoused by the Amer
lean commissioners.
The announcement by the media
tors that from now on, they would
confer with the Huerta and United
States Commissioners present was ac-
cepted here as making for rapid prog
ress. In consequence, the State De-
partment has telegraphed George
Carothers. its representative. with
villa, to proceed TO SaltilIo, where he
can be IN instant touch with Car
rama.
This will enable the President and
Secretary Bryan, as we'll as Commits
sioners Lamar and Lehman, to keep
in touch with the Constitutional views
until the Carranzista representatives
get on the job in person.
Sensational stories of alarm felt
by General Funston for his positions
about Vera Cruz find no response In
official quarters. Secretary Of War
GarrisOn considered the situation suf-
ficiently safe TO leave for a brief va
cation tour and the officers OF the
general staff do not believe any
movement under contemplation By
! the Mexican Federals which would
endanger the American position. The.
