Carranza's Inclusion Broadens Field.
Swift developments in the Mexican
crisis that brought Carranza, consutu-

posed settlement plans, presented
broadened field of endeavor TO the south
American nediators today, and it was
believed their next move would be re-
quest for an armistice between Huerta
and the northern rebels. Carranza's en-
try into this first big attempt OF Fan
American diplomacy was confirmed early
today by his acceptance in principle OF
the tender Of the good Offices OF Argen-
tina, Brazil and Chile.
