in a conference. whose object shall be
the ending of the Mexican civil strife.
The belief is general that this plan
stands al excellent chance of being
carried to success If recent differences
between Generals Villa and Carranza
are sufficiently composed to guaran-
tee that the Constituencies delega-
tion may work without embarrass-
ment.
Arrangements for the meeting are
in a formative state. The mediators
and Huerta delegates, however, be-
lieve that they will be able to an
nounce not only the personnel of the
Constitutionalist delegation, but the
place of the meeting and its general
purposes. The new plan has buoyed
the hopes of the principals to media
ton.
The South American ENJOYS dis
cussed it briefly with the American
delegates today and later conferred
with the Huerta delegates, who were
asked formally If they would meet Con-
stitutionalist representatives. The
Huerta delegates replied they were
willing to enter any conference with
their countrymen which had for it's
object the prevention of bloodshed
and the destruction Of property and
sought to establish a national govern
ment on a firm basis.
The plan the mediators have worked
out is to confine the formal mediation
conferences to a consideration of in
ternational questions, treating with
the Huerta and American delegates on
these points. On internal questions
the Huerta and Constitutionalist dele
gates would be expected to confer
alone. The mediators and the Ameri-
can delegates would not interfere with
the settlement of problems confined
to the country, but would lend their
counsel whenever it would be helpful.
With the Constituencies and Huer-
ia delegates discussing names for the
provisional presidency and kindred in
ternal questions the mediators and
American delegates would await the
outcome of their efforts before sign.
