SPAIN NAV Bn MEDIATION.

Washington, Oct, Whether Am
erica or Spain--President Wilson or
King Alfonso-will mediate in the
European war was the absorbing ques.
tion among officials here as d result
of renewed intense interest here and
abroad in the question Of peace.
''Tne war is now being fought in
the capitals Of Europe, a cabinet
member said. - Developments there
look as though the war is about over.
Many authorities believed that Spain,
rather than the United States will be
mediator when Europe is ready to lay
down arms. This belief was based on
the fact that the United States may
not be regarded suitably by Germany,
in view of her disputes with tne kaiser
over his submarine warfare. Unoffi-
cial information from Germany was TO
the effect that America is not In the
best position TO be the chief peace fac
tor.
While the German.Amorican contro.
versies have been amicably arranged
thus far, the feeling among the kaiser =
subjects Is still said to savor Of bitter.

officials here confessed does not auglr

he said. "There is no evidence to
substantiate them. Illinois, for instance,

1t is the same elsewhere, where there

"Do you think it is possible for Roos
evelt to capture the republican nomina-

"That is a possibility do not care
to discuss" Hilles answered.
The chairman was positive that Taft
will not be q candidate. He declared
the former president is enjoying life
and would not resume the burden of
public office under any circumstances
Though believing that the ill-feeling
of cotton growers over the administra
tion s foreign policy may cost the demo-
cratic nominee some votes, Hilles said:
cit will not cost President Wilson
if he is the next nominee-any votes
in the electoral college. The opposi'
of the cotton growers will be felt in
another form. They will help elect
congressman, opposed to democratic
measures. But, judging from reports.
we will not need southern votes to elect
a republican president.

There are prospects, too, that the in

Such control will mean speeding up

hand
Would Attack Allies Rear.
Such an addition would prove for.
midable, particularly if the junction
with the Teutons were completed
With the additional forces prepared
for battle, the Turks would be in a
position to attack the allies in the rear
unless the allies stop the advance. This
explains the necessity for the allies to
strike eastward into Turkey and Bull
garia, instead of moving northward to
help the shattered Serbs
1t is predicted here that the Serbs
will soon split up in small bands and re.
sort to a guerilla warfare to harry tae
invaders as much as possible.

eastern corner Of Serbia concerns Great
Britain more than II does Serbia. The
junction was effected, not TO threaten

These munitions, however, must move
over 30 miles Of mountain highway in

before they reach the Orient railway.
Such n move can only be couptored
by rapid concentration Of the allies

EXPECT FIRING ACROSS BORDER

Washington, Oct. 29.-Negotiations
were under way today to protect Amer
leans in Douglas, Ariz., from the threat
ened fire of Mexicans entrenched Just
across the border line at Aqua Prieta.
Both the state and war departments
.ricd to induce the Carrnnzista troops
near Aqua Prieta to move farther from
the border. Consul Carothers had au-
thorization to treat unofficially with
General Villa to induce him TO avoid
firing into Douglas. Meantime, General
Funston, commanding the United tSates
border troops, sought to re.establsh the
neutral zone. American reinforcements
have arrived there.
Funston's orders permit him to fire
across the border with artillery If the
Nillistas attempt to make flank at
tack by crossing into American terri.
tory. At the same time, danger from
flying bullets is great because the Car
ranzista line is directly along the bord-
er, facing the Villistas only short dis.
tance back.
The battle, il is thought cannot be
delayed much longer. Reinforcements
for the Carranzista garrison entrained
today at Eagle Pass, Texas, will soon be
on the scene.
The struggle is destined to be deci
siye military experts think. The last
remnants Of villa = once powerful army
stand ready for a last ditch battle, in
an effort TO inflict a blow that would
give Villas revolt new lease on life.
His chances, however, are considered
slim.
