 Gomez, who has been residing her some time, said tonight be will ac- cept the office of provisional presi- dent if it is officially rendered. He said he has heard nothing and de- clined to comment further.
 Another message received by Villa representatives here said Zapsta can only be pacified by having bis de- mand complied with The message also said the representative recently sent to Washington by Zapats will really represent Gomez and will re- port to the Morelos leader regarding the supposed attitude that will be taken by this government should Gomez be named provisional presi- dent.

Controversies Between South
 American Nations and Bel hgerents May Lead to Ser ious Complications in End.
CONFERENCE OF ALL
 NATIONS IS CALLED
Presence of Ships on Both Sides Americas and Ger many's Violation Chilean Neutrality Cause Action.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ?. - Grave controversies between the nations of South American and belligerent countries of Europe led to calling for conference for next Tuesday of the governing board of the Pan-Am- erican union. Before this board which consists of diplomatic representatives here of twenty American republics. with the secretary of state, showing the united character of office, come various suggestions made by Argen- tine, Chile, Peru. Uruguay and Ecua- dor for stronger assertions of the rights of neutrals and the exclusion of beligerent warships from the wat CTS of the Americas
 Evidence of the seriousness of the situation in South America due to the presence of belligerent warships on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts was contained in dispatch received tonight by Eduardo Suarez- Muiica Chilean ambassador, from the minister of foreign affairs at Santiago Fear is expressed by Chil- eun officials that Germanys alleged violation of the neutrality of Chile may influence other benigerents. The disregard of the territorial jurisdic- tion of Chile may perhaps cause them to send warships within the three mile limit to stop German oper- ations
 The Chilean governmen. has made it D ain that it does not prefer one scheme of action to another, but urg- ed that whatever steps are taken should have the earnest and united support of all American republics.
 Originally Great Britain and France asked the United States to exercise it's good offices with Ecuador and Colombia to secure strict observance by these nations of neutrality obliga- tions. Although this controversy, ac- cordiug to latest reports. is being ad- justed the menacng situation in Chile has emphasized the dangers to the South American republics of the continued presence of foreign war ships off their coasts.

 Since the battleships Nevada and Oklahoma were designed an vessels have been provided with the modern type of torpedo and as rapidly as possible the equipment of older ships is being changed. Private plants are now constructing 65O torpedoes for the navy; $50 are under construc. ton in the government yards and funds are available for $50 which will be ordered soon.

BUSINESS IN BONDS
 SHOWS TENDENCY TO
 BECOME REACTIONARY
Better Inquiry for Short Term Notes Offsets Declines In BondS-Large Loan is Made Neutral European Country.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Business in bonds on the stock exchange today eyinced further reactionary ten. dency with a wider variety of offer ings The dec ines in some less con- spicious issues ran from three to seven points. In several bonds sub iect to reorganization and readiust- ment the losses were even more se- we're.
 This condition was partly offset by the decidedly better inquiry for short term notes and more active for list ed stocks which normally constitute the great bulk of the daily opera tions. Demands for these securities, particularly notes, came from vari- ous quarters. the middle west being a prominent buyer The movement is attributed primarily to easier money conditions.
 The financial district derived con siderable encouragement from the announcement that hereafter the stock exchange intended to issue daily the actual stock sales as made through clearing houses together with comprehensive tabe of bid and asked prices This is regarded as another step toward a full resump- tion business
 One of the significant developments because of its bearing upon the for eign situation, was the placing of five millions in two year, six per cent treasury notes by the Swedish gov | ernment The proceeds, it is said will be disbursed in this country for ! the purchase of various commodi ties" The loan assumed added i'm portance from the fact that 1t is supposed to be the first negotiated here since the outbreak of the war ! by any neutral European nation Increased confidence in the better ment of domestic industrial conditions was reflected in an extension of de msnd for pig iron and copper metal at thirteen cents suggested some n creased buying by home consumers
