OFFER OF PEACE
IS TURNED DOWN
KAISER SAID TO HAVE MADE PRO-
PoSAGS TO RUSSIA THROUGH
KING OF DENMARK.
The Cars Reply to the Danish
Monareh's Letter is Declared TO
Have Been That There Could BE
No Question Of Peace.

Petrograd.-From absolutely trust
worthy sources the Bourse Gazette
learns that last week Emperor Will
liam, through the King of Denmark,
offered the Russians terms of peace.
The reply of the car to the Danish
monarch's letter was the categorical
declaration that at the present time
there could be no question of peace
negotiations.
Having failed to carry out her orr
ginal programme of crushing France
in the first few months of the war,
German has now altered her general
plan and is straining every nerve to
eliminate Russia from the number of
her antagonists in order to be able to
concentrate all her energies against
the allies in the west, when they at
last are in a position to cause her SER
ious inconvenience.
Germany had hoped, by the momen-
tum of her assault on both tanks OF
the Polish salient, to cut off and utter
ly destroy the Russian armies occupy
Ing it, and thus reduce Russia to i'm
potence.
No doubt her calculations were
largely based on the idea that the
Russians would cling desperately to
Warsaw and Yistula fortress, and thus
allow themselves to be caught in a
trap,

WARSHIPS ORDERED
TO MEXICAN PORT
RATTLEsIlIPs TO REINFORCE
LITTLE FLEET OF cuN5oATs
IN MEXICAN WATERS.
Relnforcements Requested by Com
raander McNamse in View Of Anti
Foreign Demonstrations at Gen.
eraI Carranza's Capital.

washington.-Two American bat
tleships, the Louisiana and the New
Hampshire, sailed Tuesday night
from Newport, r. l., for Vera Cruz in
response to an urgent request from
Commander McNamee that his little
feet OF gunboats in Mexican waters
be reinforced in view of anti-foreign
demonstrations at General Carranza's
capital.
It is understood that President VIII
son himself ordered the warships
sent, although no official of the gov
eminent would even admit that they
had sailed Care had been taken dur
ing the day to point out that any
naval or military activity at this time
would be purely precautionary to
safeguard foreign interests and should
not be construed as having any con-
nection with the Pan-Amer1can con-
ference.
Official reticence concerning the
movements of the Louisiana and New
Hampshire is due largely to a fear
that news of their coming reaching
Vera Cruz ahead of the ships might
accentuate the already serious situa-
tion existing there.

CARRANzA WILLING
TO TALK OF PEACE
BUT INDICATES THAT HE WILL
SEEK RECOGNITION BY THE
UNITED STATES.
viii Not Agree TO Convention Such
as Was Held at Aauas caIIentes,
Declaring He VIII Not Match
Votes With Villa and Zapata.

Washington.-General Carranza has
informed the state department that
he is willing to confer with represen-
tatives of Villa and Zapata on the
subject of establishing peace in Mex
leo, and that he viii guarantee safe
conduct of the ENJOYS of the other
leaders whenever the conference is
arranged.
He has .infomed this government,
however, that he will not participate
in a. convention such as was held at
Aguas Calientes, where the questions
at issue were put to vote. AS Car
rama has expressed it to the depart
ment, he has no intention of match
ing votes with Villa and Zapata."
At the same time Carranza has told
this government that he will make
formal application for recognition by
the United States as soon as he es-
tablishes his government in Mexico
City, which will probably be within
the next few days. From these dec
iarations the state department inter
prets Carranza's attitude to be that
he is willing to talk peace with Villa
and Zapata. but that peace cannot be
arranged unless his supremacy is rec
ognized.

POWERS AGREE TO
MEXICAN PROGRAM
HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SHAPE A
COURSE LIKELY TO BRING
PEACE TO REPUBLIC.
Confidence That Plans viii Restore
Constitutional Government 6assd
on Belief That the People Of
Mexico Want to Clean House.

Washington.-A definite plan for
dealing with the Mexican problem has
been decided upon by representatives
of North and South America, the plan
now needing only formal ratification.
This information comes from Secre-
tary Lansing, who, though he would
not discuss details, said he was de-
cidedly encouraged over the pros
poets.
The confidence expressed by off,
Gals generally here that the CON
ferees were representing the United
States, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia,
Guatemala and Uruguay will be able
to shape a course likely to bring
peace and restore constitutional gov
eminent in Mexico Is due to the fact
that all are agreed that most of the
people of the revolution-torn republic
are thoroughly sick of war and with
encouragement from friendly powers
will promptly join in a movement to
clean house.
A large section of the country and
vast majority of the people have not
been involved in the fighting which
followed the overthrow of Huerta.
Moreover, it has been reported to
President Wilson and Secretary Lans.
ing that only the fear of reprisals by
the military chieftains has kept the
people in subsection while the coun.
try has been impoverished by the bat.
ties of relatively small forces OF
armed men.
Reaching their conclusion on these
reports, the Pan-American conferees
are understood to have determined to
present the situation to all of the va.
rious elements in Mexico, addressing
directly not only Generals Carranza
Villa and Zapata, but the governors
Of states, all military leaders with
any considerable followings and other
influential men, urging them to come
together for a caucus at which a sub.
stantial provisional government might
| be framed
A government so set up would have
the support of the United States and
other American republics.

method of courtship.
