ONLY ONE BAR IS
 LEFT UNOPENED BY
 PEACE DELEGATES
Successful Mediation Depends on Man Selected To
 Rule Mexico.

Niagara Falls, June 25-Peace be- tween the United States and Mexico rests today on single condition-the establishment of a new provisional government along lines which will justify the world in according it re- cognition. Mexican factions have gtv- en guaranty that they will exert every effort to earn this reward.
 l. Five weeks of tncessant labor by the mediation conference conducted by Argentina, Brazil and Chile, result ed n the completiop- last night of protocols agreeing that the diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico shall be restored and all other international difficulties consid- cred settled when a new provisional government succeeds the Huerta ad- ministration.
 Upon the representatives Of the two TarrdnE factfons-the constitutto ists and the Huerta government-de- wolves the task now of finding a pro- vision president and his cabinet to serve while the country is being paci- fled and made ready for a general preSd dential election.
 Mediation does not adjourn. The diplomats and the American delegates will lend their counsel and advice, wherever possible, to the delegates Of the two factions as they meet in in formal conference. The meeting place has not been dAteruined, but as Niagara Falls Ont, is neutral soil and the Huerta delegation. mediators and American delegates are comfortably fixed herey this is most likely to be continued as the place of conference.
 Definite assurance that the meeting will be held has been given the media tors by constitutiona1ist representa- tives in Washington and the Huerta delegates.
 When the two parties to Mexico's. civil strife shall have adjusted the in ternal problem of their course the m ed sat1on board will formally recon vene and protocolize the result, a. date will be fixed for formal recognition of the new government and a period set within which the United States will withdraw it's troops and ships from Vera Cruz
 No Loss Of Dignity
 The mediation conference has left to the Mexican factions themselves work of settling the internal problem of their country. There has been no loss of dignity, no humbling of SOW ereignty. Upon the results of the task set the Mexican factions by the media tors the world, will pass judgment and they have been given an opportunity to demonstrate that Mexico is capable of settling her own affairs.
 The situation was brought to it's present status only after mediation many times had seemed ready to col lapse The exclusion of constitution aIists from a voice in proceedings not only had alienated their interest, but the American government announced that it would be useless to make any agreement on the internal problem of Mexico-its provisional presad ent- unless the constituti onalistS approved.
 President wilson ladd the situAtdop before Minister Naon in Washington last Friday in an hours talk Tae pr: esident in effect said that the con etitutionaffsts must have a share in the political destinies of the nation; they had demonstrated it in their mil itary successes and there could be no certain pacihcation without them.
 Accordingly, there was devised plan which was put into effect in just five days. The E1uerta delegates and the American commissioners agreed upon all blanks in the peace program but those relating to the personnel and organization of the new provis- ional 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 plenapotenttaries were affaxed to the protocols.
 In efrect. they provide:
 FHrst-That a provisional govern ment shall be set up on a certain date which shall be recognized by the na- tionals of Mexico.
 Second-The provisional government shall be constituted by agreement of delegates representing the parties to Mextco's internal struggle
 Third-DdplomaItic relations between the United States and Mexico shall be resumed and recognition accord d the new provisional government
 F'os1rth-No war indemnity shall be paid to the United States. or other international satisfaction claimed''s absolute amnesty to foreigners for any and all political offences shall be proclaimed.
 F1fth-Argentina. Brazil and Chile agree to recognize the new provis- ionaa government
 Expect Early Settlement
 Coincident with the signing of the protocols, the mediators issued a statement setting forth the reasons why they had not been able to admit the conetdtuttonaIists previously, stat ing that they had decided to leave the internal problem to the Me1dcana themselves to adjust. The invitation to representatives of the two factions to meet in conference and agree on , the form of the new administration was Incorporated in the minutes of delegates were happy today, believing that a. long stride towards internal peace in Mexico had been taken through the practical settlement of the international differences.
 While there are breakers ahead for the two Mexican delegates when they begin to discuss names for provis- ional president, there is confidence that they will be influenced by the great responsibility which will be placed upon them. Should either fac ton fail to rise to the emergency, it must face public opinion in Mexico as well as the disapprovaI of the world.
 AIexico's capacity for self-govern- will be placed in trial. Should it fail the occupation by a foreign army bring order out of chaos is likely to
