DOGS Of WAR ON
GUARD UNTIL THE
PEACEDOVE COMES
Meanwhile Mexican Situa-
ton MediatOrs Work Out
a Plan of Settlement
united States Will
Be GENEROUSLY FAIR
By JOHN EDWIN NEvIN.


WASHINGTON. April 3O.-The Mex
ican mediators-Ar Argentine, Brazil and
Lhile-were today ready to reduce to
writing their initial proposals designed
o restore peace between Mexico and the
United States and between the warning
Mexican factions. The nature of these
proposals viii be carefully guarded TIN
iii submitted and the answer returned.
Neither side is expected to agree to all
1f the suggestions. II is the hope or
the mediators' that some will be ap-
proved and that from counter sugges-
tions can be worked out a general plan
whereby all sides viii make concessions
and that finally a common ground for
agreement will be reached.
Secretary of State Bryan. the only
lnlcial OF this government fully cogni-
rant with what is going ON, refused
again today TO confirm or deny Just
what he has told the mediators. From
a high diplomatic source, close to the
-ecreturv. il was learned, however,
hat the pos tion OF the United States
vas substantially as follows;
"The United States desires peace
for all time with Mexico. 1t desires
that peace and prosperity shall be
restored to that republic by the Mexi-
cans themselves. The United States
is big enough, powerful enough and
generous enough to insist on no hu-
initiating concessions. Il can never
recognize Huerta or any government
OF which he is an important part. But
it will aid the mediating powers in
putting into effect plan of govern
n,o,f br oornu,feoion or individual
that can conduct Mexican affairs
pending arrangement OF an election
plan whereby a new Mexican congress
representative OF all Mexico and a
President and Vice-President having
The confidence Of the Mexican people

"The working out Of an election
plan must be marked by some com
prehensiYe scheme which will give all
