ROUNDING THEM
UP FOR PEACE
Wilson's Agents Getting Mexi-
cans Together.
ALL PROMISE TO BE GOOD
General Villa Declares He Will Join
the other ConstitutionaIIsts In
Restoring Peace-Questlon Of
Amnesty and Guarantees.

Washington, D. C.-Oficial advices
revealed that the Washington ad-
ministration was meeting with success
in bringing Provisional President Car
bajal, General Carranza, General Villa
and Gen. Emiliano Zapata into har-
mony for the restoration Of peace in
Mexico From these four leaders
representing all the factors concerned
in the establishment of stable gov
ernment-came encouraging messages
in answer to the counsel and advice
which the United States has been
lending through its numerous consular
and diplomatic agents to smooth the
way to a complete agreement.
General Zapata, about whom little
had been known hitherto, answered a
communication sent Indirectly to him,
promising to cooperate with the Con-
stitutionalists in the work Of pacifca-
ton.
While General Carranza is ready to
grant an amnesty and give guarantees
to those who have opposed the Con-
stitutionalists, persons criminally re-
sponsible for the assassination Of
Madero and Sdarez will not be given
immunity. AS most of the guilty have
fed the country, the Carbajal govern
ment is not disposed to object to such
exceptions as are made by General
Carranza in this connection, especially
as it is intended to prosecute them
through the courts, and those accused
will have an opportunity to prove
their innocence.
Doubts which officials had expressed
over General Villas attitude also were
quieted to considerable extent when
word came from the fighting general
himself that he would do all in his
power to restore peace in Mexico, and
would unite with the other Constitu-
tionalist leaders toward that common
purpose. Villas message was sent in
response to the personal appeal of the
Washington government urging him to
forget his personal differences with
Carranza in the interest of national
patriotism. Officials felt after the re-
ceipt Of Villas message that even If
political dissension did arise over pro-
motions or division Of political spoils,
such friction would not be permitted
by Villa to develop to the point of
counter revolution, a circumstance on
which he now realizes the American
government would frown.

London. = Sundays developments
appear to furnish new proofs that
Austria is fully determined to make
war on Servia, and the possibilities of
a general European war seem greater
than have ever confronted the pres
ent generation.
The Servian reply to the Austro-
Hungarian ultimatum was an accept
ance of almost all the imperious de-
mands, except that Austrian officials
shall participate in the investigation
and fix the responsibility for the anti
Austrian propaganda.
Servia proposed an appeal to the
powers at The Hague for the settle
ment of that feature. Notwithstand-
ing this humiliating surrender, which
was more than Europe expected of
the proud little nation, the Austrian
Government today gave the Servian
Minister his passports, which may be
construed as a virtual declaration of
war.
Austria committed an act of war by
arresting the chief of the Servian gen.
eral staff, General Putnik, near Buda-
pest, but he was soon released by the
Emperor's direct command.
No Formal Declaration.
A formal declaration Of war is not
expected, because Servia is not a
party to The Hague convention, which
requires this. The suspension of all
parliamentary and judicial institu-
tions has been decreed in Austria, and
an ironclad censorship has drawn a
Gordon of secrecy around the country,
so that the outside world is in COM
plete ignorance of everything happen
ing there, except what the Govern
ment wants the world to know.
Even now the Austrian armies may
be closing in upon Servia and launch
ing sudden blow. as Japan did when
she sent her feet against the Russian
ships without warning.
While Austria announces a partial
mobilization" the Austrian Ambas-
sador at London has issued a signi-
icant notice to all Austrians liable
for military service to remain home.
The only possibility of aveTting war
at the eleventh hour which Austria
recognizes is that Servia shall recon
slider her reply to the Austrian note
and bow to all the demands. Even
then Austria proposes to exact pay
ment for all her expenses in connec-
ton with her military measures.

TWO PLANS TO
SECURE PEACE.
Sir Edward Gray Sounds the
Great Powers.
GERMANY IS HOLDING ALOOF
Conferences Going On In St. Peters.
burg To Bring About A Direct
Understanding agreeable
To Germany.

London.-An engagement between
Austrians and Servians is reported to
have occurred on the Danube, but no
details are available, and it is not be-
heYed to have been of importance. As
far as the censorship permits 1t to be
known, Austria mas not yet opened her
military operations.
Meanwhile, diplomacy is proceeding
with energy along two separate lines
to avert the war if possible, and if
that is impossible to localize the con-
fict. First, Sir Edward Gray, the
British secretary Of state for foreign
affairs, has proposed to the powers
q plan for joint mediation which, it
is said, France and Italy already have
accepted. Germany has not yet re-
piled and her acceptance is regarded
as doubtful.
Sir Edward Gray explained in the
House of Commons his idea, which
was that the four powers, Great
Britain, France, Germany and Italy,
cooperate in an endeavor to arrange
the dispute between Austria and Ser
via on the basis of Servia's reply to
the Austrian ultimatum. This reply
he regarded as the foundation on
which friendly and impartial powers
should be able to arrange an accept
able settlement.
Should the British Foreign Secre-
tary's efforts fail to avert war, it is
expected he will endeavor by some
means to prevent complications. by
confning the hostilities to Austria and
Servia.
The second line Of diplomatic en-
deavor, from even more is hoped, is
taking place at St. Petersburg between
the Rus Jan Minister of Foreign At
fairs, Serguis Sazonoff, and the
Austrian Ambassador. It is under
stood that M. Sazonoff, is making a
strenuous effort to bring about a di-
rect understanding and that solution
on these lines would be more agree
able to Germany than Great Britain's
conference proposals.
The Russian Emperor has postponed
his intended visit to Finland in order
to remain in the capital during the
crisis. 1t is said Russia is urging Ser
via to give Austria the fullest possible
satisfaction.
An extremely war-like spirit prevails
in Vienna, where the evening papers
declare that the Servians are only
making evasions and that therefore it
is impossible for the Austrian govern
ment to retreat. Further, they hint
that even should Servia accept the
Austrian ultimatum Internationally
and offer to pay the cost of Austria S
mobilization, Austria now would be
compelled to ask for new guarantees.

AGE LIMIT FOR JUDGES.

over so.

Washington, D. C.-There is an Gage

conscienciously consider for the Su-
preme Court bench any candidate
