Further Steps in Effort to Restore Peace in Mexico Will Be Discussed at the Third Meeting, to Be Held Tomorrow.
iCARRANZA REFUSAL
 TO BE CONSIDERED
RefutatiOn of Claims of the First Chieftain' Is Made by Villa Represen- tatiVes, Who Present Fig ures to Support Claims.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

WASHINGTON, Sept 13-Further steps in the Pan-American effort to restore peace in Mexico will be con- sidered at a third meeting on We'd nesday. Secretary Lansing announced he would call the meeting after a conference with the president. Before the conference will be the favorable responses Villa, Zapata and allied leaders. From Carranza will be a reply rejecting the convention pro posal Careful consideration will he given to Carranza's counter proposi- tions.
 Since the last meeting of the con- ference the Carranza forces have swept northWard and are now threat ening Villa at Torreon, giving weight to Carranza's statement that he and Carranza are making a desperate at tempt to impress the outside world in the north of Mexico
 Enrique Llorente, head of the Villa Washington agency. who has just re- turned from Torreon, issued a state ment tonight, saying:
 Tt is doubtful whether Carranza is any stronger now than he ever was. His advance into the north has been completely oVerbalanced by the suc- cesses of the Zapata forces in Central and Southern Mexico. It is stated on high authority the armed strength of the Zapatistas is 5000. They are in complete control of Morelos and control all of the state of Guerrero except Port Acapuleco and are in part control of the states of Puebla, rlaxical, Hidalgo, Mexico Guanaju- Ito and Michoacan. The fact is in every state of the republic, elements of both factions are to be found con- tending, except in the states of Chi huahua and Morelos, which Villa and Zapata control completely.
 Villa has 22,OOO well equipped, well-trained men, of excellent morale in Torreon. He has forty seven pieces of artillery. General Madero has 12,000 men before Monterey. The garrisOns at JuareZ, Casas Grandes, Palomas. Pearson, and all along the ~ailroad from Chihuahua to Torreon and from Durango to Paredon. will bring the total fighting force up to 47000 men.
 While the people of the United States are hearing reports from Car ranza sources of the fall of Torreon, that city has never been in danger of an attack. Business is normal, and the populace goes about it's affairs quietly and as calmly as in any or dinary city in a peaceful country.
 General Roque GarZa, former pro- visional president of Mexico will ar rive in Washington shortly. He will be in a position to inform the press and public of the true situation in central Mexico where he has been the last year.

Disclosure of Fact That Russian Officials De manded Commission on Munition of War Pur- chases Raises Storm.
FACE SIIRAPNEIl
 WITH BAYONETS
Russia Best Troops Acquit Themselves with Bravery in Bayonet Action-Crip- pied and DemoraliZed by Lack of Ammunition.

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 13, (delayed.l The fall of Warsaw and the failure of the Russian defensive campaign to prevent the German invasion If Poland had a profound effect on the Russian national feeling then, it is admitted in Petrograd The feeling that has shaken the constitutionally stQlid and unemotional country from one end to the other is not of dis couragement or submission.
 This has not moved any one to talk of ultimate defeat or the pos sibiIity of Russia's undertaking peace negotiations with Germany. Russia's reaction is one of intense indigna- tion at government officials respon sible for tragic shortage of am munitin.
 The tragedy of this shortage has been observed by men at the front, who with empty gun caissons have helplessly faced the concentrated ar tillery attacks of the enemy and watched the assured. progress of the German and Austrian trench builders under their very positions, without the possibility of stopping them. These soldiers are determined and experienced fighters. They are Rus sia's best troops. acquitting them selves with bravery in every bay onet action. crippled and demoral- ized because of insufficient ammuni- ton, and with a knowledge of that lack of ammunition have been or dered to continue their retreat from one position to another.
 A rigidly censored press and the inherent retfcence of the inha abitants against free comment of any sort jailed to check an avalanche of cri- ticism and accusations made against the government officials held respon- sible. For once. expressions of opin- ion in Russia is free and unhampered
 No attempt is made to conceal the reproach against the methods of the bureaucrats acused of having crippled Russia's fighting strength and materially delayed the ending of the war. This is not expressed alone by men of revolutionary inclinations or opposition tendencies nor uttered in husned voices in secret places. but IS loudly current everywhere among men of all parties and classes.
 The allegation is made that the Russian officials who superintended the purchase of war munitions were primarily interested in seizing the opportunity the war offered of amassing a fortune at the expense of the government and insisting upon a large commission for contracts and that the business of buying war ma terials waited while purchasing com missions were adjusted satisfactor- fly.
 American and Englih business men trying to sell ammunition to the Russian government state that with out an average payment of ten per cent commission on all sales, it was impossible to do business with the purchasing commissions Tn some cases a contract was delayed while the amount of commission was ad Justed. and it was not unusual for the delay to be the matter of months

OPENS FIGHT FOR
 ALIEN LABOR LAW

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-At- torney. General Wiley Jones of Arizona, opened the fight over the constitutionality of the Ari zona alien labor law by filing a brief in support of the statute. The case will be heard next month. The lower court held the law to be unconstitutional.
 Attorney General Jones declar- ed the people of Arizona in en- acting the law by the initiative method were as much within their rights to protect their safe- ty and welfare as was tile legis lature of Pennsylvania in pass ing a law against the sale of firearms to alien residents, law since held constitutional. He urged that the law would not necessarily work an inequality because of the relatively small number of aliens in the state.

WOULD CARRY OUT SCHEME
 FOR COMPULSORY SERVICE

not carry out the scheme for compul sorry national service However if may be taken as quite conclusive that Lloyd George has finally ranged him self on the side of those in the cahi- net who demand compulsory service. His language either means that or nothing at all"
 Lloyd Georges convictions have been tending in this direction. con tinues the Gazette. and it declares there is no longer open doubt that he has ''plumped" for compulsion. The writer thinks the minister of muni- tions drew a darker picture than was justified by facts, for the purpose of deepening the impression he wished to make, but it adds. there can be no doubt the question of compulsion is assuming a more critical aspect from the cabinet point of view The cleavage is distinct and deep and there is no possibility of a compro- mise. That is apparent to the naked eye"
