To save Mexico from further spoiia-

have been prevailed upon to meet their
oountrymen-the Huerta delegates-
In a peace conference. whose object
shall be the ending OF the civil strife
which has divided Mexico in the last
eighteen months.
The belief IL general that this plan
stands an excellent chance OF being
carried to success n the recent differ
