CARRANzA OPPOSES.

Herberti Barron, head of delega-
ton of Carranza supporters, called
on each of the six Latin-American
diplomats and informed them that
General Carranza under no circum-
stances would submit to the selection
of member of the Madero cabinet
as provisional president. The Villa
faction contends Vasquez Tagle, the
only member Of the Madero cabinet
who did not resign is in line of con-
stitutional succession.
Mr.. Barron delivered to each of the
diplomats copies of General Carran-
za's letter to President Wilson setting
out Carranza's claim to the presi-
dency. Luis Cabreta, Carranza's min
lister of finance, and Roberto V. Pas
quiera were in the party.
Carranza's agency today made q
definite announcement that the seat
of government would move to Mexico
City within thirty days. Conditions
in Mexico City, dispatch from Min
lister Asquina, IN charge of Carran-
za's foreign affairs were found better
than was expected. The city council
the governor and other civilian au-
thorities reinstalled.
1t was indicated that the Latin
Americans intended to enter the con
ference with open minds to hear Pres
ident Wilson's plan, which they il
turn will submit to their governments
before further action is taken.

ARMEOFACTIONS
IN MEXICO ARE
GIVEN A CHANCE
Must Compose Their Differ
ences or Suffer the
Consequences
CONFERENCE HELD
OVER SITUATION
All Oppose Armed Inter
vention Unless It Be-
comes Necessary.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Washington, Aug. 5.-Arned fac
tons in Mexico are to be given one
more opportunity to say whether they
are ready to make an honest effort to
compose their differences. At a con-
ference today between Secretary Ian
sing and six ranking diplomats of the
Pan-American legation corps it was
decided to send to all Mexican chiefs
a message expressing the concerted
demand of North and South America
for peace and restoration of a consti-
tutional government.
This appeal, while going to all lead
ers is intended especially for Car
rama, who opposes the convention
suggested and expressed himself not
willing to step aside. Villa is willing
to step aside for peace and virtually
all other faction leaders are under
stood to favor a convention to form a
constitutional government. The adj
ministration believes that on account
of differences all the chiefs should
step down in favor of some one else.
Carranza notified the conference
today that he opposed any member
of the former Madero cabinet as pro-
visional president. Carranza's atti-
tude is regarded as important, but it
was unanimously agreed there will be
no long diplomatic correspondence
with him. He will be given certain
time to decide whether he will agree
to help form a government the United
States swill recognize.
Should Carranza refuse, it is ex-
pected other chiefs will participate in
organizing government to which
other American governments will
give moral support.
Further steps that might be taken
against Carranza have not yet been
outlined, except for an embargo on
arms against him or any other fac
lions opposing the plan.
All Latin-American nations will be
asked to approve before anything is
done. 1t is understood that none Of
the conferences today desired armed
intervention if ayoidable. They vii
continue their conferences tomorrow

Both in Sad Condition.

Sublime satisfaction in ones own
powers must be very delightful con-
dition, but a celebrated English mu-
sician, Doctor Arne, who fourished in
the first half of the seventeenth CEN
tury, for once wittily turned the ta-
sbles on some singers of this type.
He was asked to decide on the re.
spective powers Of two vocalists
whose talents existed entirely in their
own imaginations. After hearing them
Doctor Arne said to one: You are
the worst singer I ever heard in my
life. Then, exclaimed the other: Il

you can't sing at ALL"

STEAMER USES AMERICAN
 FLAG IN WAR ZONE
American Ensign Flung Out by British Vessel as Protection Against 4
 Submarines

Boston, June 9.--Thc British steamer Coloninn of the Leyiand line flew the American flag for 70 hours n pro- tection against German submarines while passing through the war zone, according to her commander, Capt. J.. Mcdonald.
 The CoIonians arrived today from Ayonmouth, England.
 It was on May 30, Captain Mcdonald said, that he was hailed by British pa- trol boat. two days out of Avonmouth, and told to display the flag of a neutral nation or no flag at all" He sent the stars and stripes up the staff immediately. he said. He explained that he used the American flag in preference to any other. because he could back up his bluff if hailed by speaking in the English lan- guage. while if he used that of any other neutral nation he would be unable to use the language of the flag
 As it developed, no submarines were sighted, the captain said.
 This is said to be the first instance in which the American flag has been used by transatlantic steamer of belligerent nationality since President Wilson's note to England onathe subject. provoked by the Lusitanias use of the flag last Feb ruary.
 Among the 130 passengers on the steamer. all of whom were men who had crossed to England as horsemen and had been given free transportation on the return. were 90 Americans. A small party Of these said they tried to remove the flag from the Colonian's taffrail, lying awake two nights for the purpose. but the watch- fulness of the crew frustrated their de- cipp
