NIAGARA FALLS. Ont. June Is
Peace between the United States and
Mexico rests today on single condi-
tfon-the establishment of a new pro-
Visional government along lines
which will justify the world in. ac-
eording it recognition. Mexican fac
tons have given guaranty that they
viii exert every effort 10 earn this
reward
Five weeks Of the mediation con-
Quoted by Argentina. Brazil and
Chile resulted in the completion last
night TO protocols agreeing that the
diplomatic relations between the
United States and Mexico shall be re-
stored and all other interna tional Diff
ficulties considered when a new pro-
Yisional government succeeds the-
Huerta administration.
Upon the Representatives OF The
two warning factions-the Constitu-
tionalists and Huerta government
devolves the task of now selecting .
provisional president and his cabinet
10 serve in the interim while the
country is being pacified and made
ready for general presidential cleo

Definite assurance that the meet

-l1r-u154yps-37v e--nnstitutionaHst repre-
sentatives in Washington and the
Huerta delegates.
When the two parties 70 Mexico's
civil strife shall have adjusted the
internal problem of their course the
mediation board will formally recon-
vepe and profocolize the result. A
date will be fixed for formal recogni-
lion of the new government and
period set within which the United
states will withdraw its troops and
ships from Vera Cruz.
L. :. Ready to Withdraw Trocps.
The incentive to the participants in
the Informal conference for quick
agreement is that the United States
stands ready TO withdraw her forces
from Mexican soil after an agreement
is reached. The mediation conference
has disereetiy left to the Mexican fac
tions themselves the work of settling
the internal problem Of their country.
The situation was brought to its
present status only after mediation
many times had seemed ready to col
lapse The exclusion Of Constitutions
alists from a voice in proceedings had
ahenated their interest when later the
American government announced that
it would be useless TO make any
agreement on the internal problem of
Nj. xicoits provisional president-un

President Wilson laid the situation
before Minister Naon in Washington
last Friday The President. in effect
said that the Constitutionalists must
have a share in the political destinies
Of the nations: they had demonstrzted
their capabilities in the military ste
cesses and there could be no pacitica-
tion without them
Accordingly there was devised q
plan which was put into effect in just
FIVE DAYS The Huerta delegates and
the American commissioners agreed
upon ali planks in the peace program
but those relating to the personnel
and organization Of the new provi-
sional government. and the time when
American forces would be Withdrawn
from Vera Cruz Late last night the
signatures of the two sets of delegates
and the mediating plenipotentiai-ies
were affixed TO the protoeals In ef-

Coincident with the signing OF the
protocols the mediators issued a state
ment setting forth the reasons why

Constitutionalists previously, and
stated that they had decided to leave
the internal problem to the MexicanE
themselves to adjust. The invitation
to representatives of the two factions
10 meet in conference and agree on
the form of the new administration
was Incorporated in the minutes Of
the proceedings.
Mediators and Delegates Happy.
The mediators and delegates were
happy today. They felt that a long
stride toward internal peace in Mex
leo had been taken through the prac-
tical settlement OF the international
difference. Others were. skepticai bus

have been irreconcilable in their idea
