Proposal to Exclude A
Beligerent Warships
From Hemisphere
PAN-AMERICAN PLAN
IS MAKING PROGRESS
North, Central and South
America to Join Hands
in Warning Europe

Washington, Nov. 26.-The United
States government has been asked by
the principal nations Of South America
to Cooperate with them in negotiating
with the belligerent powers Of Europe
to bring about the exclusion of all
beAigerent warships from the waters
OF the two Americas and safeguard the
trade OF Pan American 4 countries with
each other.
Argentine, Chile. Peru ana Uruguay
have laid their suggestions before the
Washington government, while the
Brazilian government IL considering
the advisability of taking a similar
step. Practically all the Central and
South American countries have been
circularized by some OF the principal
nations, resulting in a series of diplo-
matte conferences in Washington and
the capitals OF South America, which
are now in progress.
While the proposals are different in
character and scope, they all seek the
same end--the restoration OF the trade
between North and South America,
pnralyzed by the European war. The
movement also has for its object the
removal Of possible causes of serious
friction between the countries of this
hemisphere and the European hel-
ligerents on questions OF neutrality.
In Dispute Alraaay
Already Chile, Ecuador ana Coiom-
bin have had serious difficulties with
the helligerents over the use OF the
wireless and the coallng OF foreign
warships, whose prevalence In the At
lantic and Pacific is growing obnox-
ious to South American countries.

suggestions are committed to any par

London, Nov. 26.-The Russian gen.
eral staff still is Withholding the de-
tails of the victory which all other
nispatches from Petrograd say the
Russians have won over the German
forces that penetrated Poland. *
Tonights official report simply says
the battle continues to develop to the
advantage of the Russians and that
the Germans are trying to extricate
themselves from a position verys un-
favorable to them. The Germans. on
the other hand, claim they have in
flicted heavy losses on the Russians
between I,odz and Lowicz.
The military authorities in Petro-
grad, assuming that the unofficial re-
ports of a victory are true, express
astonishment that the Germans should
have attacked I4odz, for they say de-
feat there was inevitable. The Ger
mans who advanced from the north
and south. these military observers
add, doubtless intended TO seize the
railway and interrupt communication
between the northern and southern
Russian armies, but Grand Duke
Nicholas, with the enormous number
OF men at his command, was able to
sandwich them and direct his attacks
from all points except due west. The
reported failure of the German crown
princes army to advance on the Cra-
COW front is considered by these mill
itary critics as contributing to the
checking Of the Germans.
Germans Surrounded
It is said in Pe.rograd that one If
not two German corps are almost
completely enveloped and that they
are making desperate effort to
fight their way out to the north. AL
ready large number of prisoners are
reported to have passed through War
saw. This is considered In London to
confirm the unofficial reports and the
statement OF Lord Kitchener in the
house of lords today. that the rein
forced Russian troops in this neigh
borhood have been able to check and
defeat the Germans with, believe,
heavier losses than they ever sus-
tanned before"

uing their advances through the Car
