Diplomats Feel that Mexican Chiefs
Cannot Refuse Polite Appeal
to Factions.

New York, Aug 11-With the re-
assembling here Of the ambassadors

Central American governments and
Secretary Lansing. a definite inter
American effort viii be put into oper-
alton to re-establish peace in Mexico
by friendly means and to restore the
revolution torn country to its accus-
toned place in the American family of
nations.
The conference will be concerned
with final details Of the first step in
a plan, the important features of
which have been unanimously agreed
upon.
The plan contemplates a supreme
appeal to the consciences of the Mexi-
can leaders of all factions and political
groups. 1t has been prepared, and
after minor changes in phraseoIogy are
discussed, probably will be dispatched
Immediately. A few weeks then will
be allowed for answers to be received
The complete plan that has been
adopted for the solution of the prob
lem has not yet been published, but
purposes of the Latin-American coun-
tries and the United States have been
spread which the diplomats fear may
prove embarrassing, but they are con-

is to be followed, the conferees have
taken into consideration all the posi-
bilities of the situation
The attitude of the conferees is that
their governments need exert no pres

Petrograd Officially Admits Loss, But
Claims Teuton Check Near Riga

London, Aug. 14-Several German
army groups in the Russian war thea
ter have fallen into the trap of Grand
Duke Nicholas and are in the gravest
danger, according to the Daily Tele-
graphs Petrograd correspondent
AT the moment" says the CORE
spondent, lone of the most interesting
points on the Russian front is between
the Dvina and Niemen rivers, where
the Russians by the capture of the vii
lage OF Toviny have cut through the
German line, thus separating the Ger
man armies operating around Ponie-
wesch and Vilkomir The latter army
is in a dangerous state and executing
a frantic retreat in an effort to extri-
cate itself and either connect with the
Poniewesch group or join hands with
the troops operating around Kovno-
The German army operating in the
vicinity of Poniewesch also is in a dan
gerous position, with its right flank ex-
posed to Russian attack, which could
have only the most serious results
Three Towns Abandoned.
Petrograd, via London, Aug. n
The Russian war office, in an official
communication tonight, admits the
evacuation Of the towns of Sokolow,
Sieldce and Lukow, to the east of War
saw, but claims the Germans in the
region Of Riga have been driven back
and that near Kovno, under the pres
sure of the Russians, they have aban-
doned their attack.
London, Aug 14-Field Marshall
Won Hindenburg, upon whom the most
difficult tasks are imposed, has taken
personal charge of the German army
attacking Kovno and, according to the
German official report issued tonight,
has made further progress in the fight
ing against the Russians in that re-
gion.
The selection of Germany's national
hero for the duty of capturing the
fortress of Kovno, which stands be-
tween the Germans and Wilma and the
Warsaw-Petrograd railway, is an indi-
cation of the importance which the
German general staff attaches to this
operation.
Germans Suffer Setback
The news that the civilians had com
menced to evacuate Kovno, as well as
Wilma, led to the belief in many quar-
tiers that the Russians either had de-
cided to give them up or had no hope
Of holding these points. Now, how
ever, they are fighting hard to retain
both cities.
Further north, between Poniewesch
and Dvinsk, the Germans apparently
have suffered setback.
South of Riga, also, the Germans
are said to be doing little more than
holding their own, so that the talked
of advance toward Petrograd seems tt
be developing very slowly
