the Constitutionalists, Of the principle
of mediation, as proposed by the am
bassador from BAIL and the ministers
from Argentina and Chile.
Already the United States and Gen
eral Huerta had formally accepted the
good offices Of these South American
ENJOYS and now as a further step,
General Carranza has been brought
into the deliberations so as to ara"
every element and faction witnln 'ne W
range Of any settlement which may De
attained.
