Europe Backs Uncle
IN a New Movement
For Peace in Mexico

s Washington, D. C.-The Pan-Amer-
lean appeal to all Mexican leaders
and factions to restore peace, backed
by European powers, will be publish
in the United States in tomorrow
mornings papers. 1t will be given
out tonight by the state department.
Then will follow period Of possibly
10 days or@two weeks of waiting of
momentous Importance to Mexico, for
it will determine if the country has
among its leaders men capable of
restoring her sovereignty and consti-
tutional government without outside
aid.
Brief, and couched in terms of
friendship and helpfulness, the appeal
contains nothing, the Pan-American
conferees believe, which patriotic
Mexicans can resent. 1t is rather
expected to reassure them of the dis
interested Intentions Of the American
nations and probably even soften the
attitude of General Carranza.
Last Word Sent carranza.
The final copies of the appeal were
going out today by telegraph, cable
and wireless. Those to be delivered
by Latin American legations and
consular officials in Mexico City went
forward last night.
Today the copies for General Car
rama were going by wireless to Vera
Cruz, to be delivered by American
Consul Silliman Through the var
ious missions of the United States
and the other American republics
scattered through Mexico, the appeal
Is expected to reach all the chiefs,
leaders and governors in the various
states.
European Powers in Line.
Informally those European powers
interested in Mexico have In one way
or another signified their approval Of
the effort to- restore government.
They have not given their support
to any plan, but have signified their.

solidated line from the Baltic prov
inces to Galicia. Kovno is unit of
a line of fortresses running from the
Niemen south and east, connected by
railroad. On this line ore Gradno,
Brest-Litovsk and Lutsk.
Flanking Peril Faced.
The capture of Kovno raises the
question whether the Russians will
b cable to retain this line, or whether
they again will be compelled to make
a general retreat.
Retention of the remaining posi-
tions on this front might expose the
Russians to the danger of a thanking
movement. The next line to which
they might be expected to fall runs
from Wilma, about fifty miles east Of
Kovno, through Ida, Baranovitshi
and Pinsk to Rovno. This is about
300 miles long.
The rapidity of the German advance
since the fall of Warsaw on August
5 is indicated by the fact that they
are within thirteen miles of Brest-
Litovsk, which lies 115 miles east Of
the captured Polish capital. The line
to which they may now be compelled
to fall back is about 200 miles east
of Warsaw.

Kovno is $50 miles southwest of

rounding the fortress proper, at an
average distance of two and one-haIf
miles is a girdle of forts, eleven in
number. The town lies for the most
part in the fork formed by the juno
tion Of the Niemen and the Viliya and
is guarded by strong defenses.

of which would be to withhold Greece
from participating in plan of united

In the meantime there are many
evidences of Austro-G German prepara-
tions to deal with the Balkan situa-
ton. According to information from
Bucharest, German army corps have
been concentrated near the junction
of Hungary. Rumania and Serbia.
This, with the bombardment of Bel
grade and the activity of Austrian
artillery at many points along the
Danube lends support to reports of
great Austro-Germ offensive in the
Balkans.
London is Worried.
The outcome Of the crisis is awaited
most anxinusly. as determining
whether the allies will receive new

NATIONAL.

OF exceptional interest will be the
appearance of Elsie Ferguson at the
New National Theater this week in
''Outcast," the play by Hubert Henry
Davies. which last night closed a six
months run at the Lyceum Theater in
New York. In "Outcast" Miss Ferguson
is credited with the best work of her
career.
'Outcast'' is a play very much out of
the beaten track. The scenes of its
four acts are laid in London at the
present time. The central character is
Miriam, a cheerful, uncomplaining girl
of the London streets. She meets Geof-
frey. an Englshman of good family,
who is rapidly going to the dogs be-
cause he has been Tilted by Valentine, a
woman of his own social grade who
broke off their engagement so that she
might marry a man of wealth and title.
forget Valentine. 1t Is at this period
that Miriam crosses his path. and there
grows up a strong bond of sympathy
between them. The play d5als with
their regeneration. Rather more serious
than his earlier plays. "Outcast" none
the less contains much of the brilliant
humor that characterized Cousin Kate"
and THE Mollusc."
Miss Ferguson comes to Washington
surrounded by such artists as Charles
Cherry, Marguerite Leslie, Warbur-
ton Gamble. Nell Compton, J. Woodall
Bride, Gillian Scaife. and Leslie Palmer.

Pro-German AmeriCanism' and The
Other Side of the War Question" :"
which includes the matter of the much
discussed blockade.
Mr.. Riders daily column, The War
Day by Day. which he writes for tho
StaatsZeitung. has resulted in so many
requests for his personal appearance
that tour was arranged with Wash
irgton at the top of the list. Assisting
him is Miss Ray Beveridgc, whose
splendid work in Germany as n war
nurse brought her in active touch with
Prince Iatzfeldt. the head of the Ger
man Red Cross. Miss Bev.ridGo is an
eloquent talkcr. and has within a few
weeks gained a great name as a public
speaker.
The official German war pictures. the
taking of which resulted in several op-
orators being killed, are still another
big feature in the program These pic
lures were filmed by the perm. son
of the Prussan general staff and the
war ministry, and show intimate views
OF big men and events in the mighty
conflict. Speaking with the great pic
lures is Jerome Wilson. whose man.

o'clock and again tonight at 8 o'clock.
with performances at the same hours
each afternoon and evening throughout
the week.
Few screen plays that have ever been
given in Washington have attracted
more attention than "Hypocrites." Lois
weber, the authoress and director of the
production, has handled the theme with
a sense of delicacy that makes it stand
out as work Of real creative art
Through the dramatic incidents of the
play Is woven a remarkable allegory, de-
picting the search for truth by one con-
secrated to the task, and the revelation
OF the real natures of the characters
or the story as Truth shows them in
her magic mirror
CCurtenay Foote, Myrtle Stedman,
