conferences with the Huerta delegates
for the solution Of Mexico's internal
problems.
No word came to any Of the mediators
today as to Carranza's Intentions and
skepticism began to manifest itself. es-
pecially when news dispatches from
Monterey showed that not only was tele-
graphic communication with the consti-
nationalist chief in excellent condition,
but that he had spent the day in amuse-
ments. ignoring the anxiety Of the me-
diators and delegates for some definite
word of his purposes.
The impression here is that while
the constitutionalist representatives in
Washington with whom the mediators
are informally communicating say they
are DESTROYS of bringing about the meet
ing, Gen. Carranza thinks otherwise. and
the military successes of his troops prob
ably will increase his self-confidence and
independence. The mediation colony is
disposed to wait until Monday for some
definite word, but then there may be
some expression on the course that Will
be pursued.

TURKEY IS AFTER SHIPS
United States Placed in Embarrass-

With Greece for Fighters.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. June 2s-The Tribune
this morning says:
WASHINGTON, June 27-Turkey is In
the market for ships of the American
navy. and there is good reason to be-
lieve that negotiations have been in
itiated or are about to be for the sale
Of certain American ships to that coun-
try. Turkey seeks to buy warships to
Offset the impending acquisition by Greece
of the American battleships Idaho and
Mississippi
1t is apparent that the administra-
ton faces same embarrassment in the
matter. One of the prime reasons for
selling the Idaho and Mississippi to
Greece was alleged to be that their
acquisition would work for peace max
ing it impossible for Turkey to declare
was against Greece. as the govern
ment at Athens asserted before this
government that Turkey intended
doing.
Has Called Out Reserves.
Since then. however. the Greek gov
eminent has called out the naval re-
serves. This action, following a hos
tile threat against Turkey on the part
of the Greek premier in open parlia--
ment two or three weeks ago, makes it
appear that all the belligerency in the
situation is not on the side of Turkey.
If the United States should refuse to
sell to Turkey the porte will undoubted-
ly then make vehement protest against
the sale to Greece of the Idaho and the
Mississippi, a transaction which has not
been consummated. The Turkish am
bassador has lodged no formal protest
with this government against the pro-
posed sale, but 1t is known that he stands
ready to do SO.
Reply in Friendly Spirit.
CoNSTANT1NOPLE, June 27.-The
Greek reply to the last Turkish note,
which was received here today. is
couched in friendly spirit, and accepts
the proposals of Turkey regarding the
exchange of Turkish and Greek property
and the appointment of a Greco-Turkish
commission to supervise the arrange
ment. Greece hopes that the incidents
which have disturbed the good relations
between the two countries will not recur
and declares that Mussulmans in Greek
territory are treated on an equality with
the other inhabitants.

.misht occur during this week.
Others in Washington who claim to be
in a position to know the intention OF
Gen Carranza say positively that he
will never consent to any discussion of
the internal affairs of Mexico with out
side agencies. and that the only settle
ment of the Mexican revolution will be
when he marches into Mexico City at
the head of his victorious army.

In view of these messages John r.
Silliman. the American vice consul at
Saltillo. who narrowly escaped from
Mexico with his life, was called into
conference by the Carranza agents here,
and 1t was intimated that Mr.. Silliman
might go back to Saltillo to confer
with CarranZa. Mr.. Silliman saw Mr..
-Breceda late in the day. but would not
discuss his mission. He said, however

Pictures Given Place
In Canadian Schools

The project to provide education in
the various schools of the Dominion Of
Canada by means of motion pictures
or, as 1t has been called by the pro-
moters, action pictures" SO as to
distinguish the work from that Of the
theatrical world, has been successfully
launched in Montreal. The idea has
been worked out under the patronage
OF the school commissioners Of West
mount.
kindergarten classes are to be taken
first, and then more advanced sub
jects such as geography, national his
tory. and so on. A film exchange will
be opened in Montreal, and already a
large quantity OF films and slides have
been secured. The machines will be
purchased by the schools, but The films
will remain the property Of the eX-
change and will be circulated through
out the country.
The promoters intend to be world
wide In their pictures, and II Is antlci-
pated that many films will be pur-
chased in the States, where this idea
of using educational films in the schools
has made great Roadway. 1t Is also
thought that an exchange could be
made between the school authorities IN
the States and the authorities in Can
ada by which method the British en-
pire subjects can be shown in the States
