Washington, July 20.-Every infiu-
ence and diplomatic agency at the dis
posal of the United States government
are working for immediate peace in
Mexico.
The Washington administration is
convinced hat with the elimination OF

pressing for more than a year, the

for a new and stable administration
In Mexico which shall be recognized
by the powers Of the world.
Efforts Bring Results.
Already the fruits of the American
effort TO bring Carranza and Carbajal
together are apparent. Carranza, ac-
cording to Silliman's reports, has re-
vealed a spirit of friendliness to the
United States and a readiness to dis
cuss peace with Carbajal and prevent
further fighting.
Amnesty for political offenders and
guarantees that the lives and property
Of the territory controlled by the fed.

practically the only terms Carbajal
asks.
Generally, Washington officials are
highly optimistic over the favorable
turn of events. Already they are pre-.
dieting complete peace in Mexico in
another fortnight. They were encour-
aged, for instance, by a telegram from
General Obregon, commander Of one
Of the three big divisions Of the Con-
