APPEAL FOR PEACE

cARRANZA Is STILL DEFIANT
Absolutely No Resistance TO Plan Ex-

All Elements Asked to Join

washington, Aug. 16.-The Pan
American appeal to all elements in
Mexico to cease fighting and join in a.
sincere movement to restore constitu-
tional government has gone forward
in the state department. First the
document was dispatched in English
to Mexico City, directed to the various
Latin-American legations whose at
taches will translate it into Spanish
and deliver it to the military leaders
In that vicinity. The appeal in orig
inal Spanish will be forwarded direct
ly to Generals Villa and Carranza, gov
errors of states and many other chiefs
In different parts of the country
The text will be made public here
within few days.
With the appeal dispatched the
United States government will inst.
tute a friendly and persistent effort
to induce Mexican leaders who thus
far have shown a disposition to OF
pose the movement to sacrifice their
personal views in the common Ncxi-
can interest
That General Carranza will mair-
tain the defiance he had indicated in
recent communications to his agency
here on the subject is expected by
the administration, but it is regarded
as probable that many Of his generals
and other adherents can be induced to
join in peace convention
1t is believed here that If a few CT
the CarranZa generals participate in d
convention of the factions it will not
be long before the organized opposi-
ton to new government could be ei-
fectively checked. In this connection
It is reported that General Hugh Scott
is expected to perform important mis-
| sionary work. General Scott knows

personally and it is believed he NAY

Absolutely no resistance to the plan
Is expected from any other source
than from General Carranza and in
some quarters here the feeling is grow
ing that even Carranza himself may
respond favorably to the appeal after
he has studied it's friendly tone care.

The president had before him tie
appeal of Governor Ferguson Of Texa:
for more federal troops. Mr. Brecken-
ridge submitted General Furstons re.
ports regarding recent disturbances
and outlined the military forces now

more troops would be ordered to the

Washington, Aug. 10. - While the
United States will not participate with
other neutrals in Joint or identical
representations to Great Britain re-

Washington, Aug. 14:-Nearly half
the land in the Chogach national for
rest, Alaska, through which the gov
eminent railroad is to run, has been
restored to the public domain by proc
lamation of President Wilson, $780,
600 acres being withdrawn. Forest

ton. Homesteaders are warned that
the chances of locating are not en-

Washington, Aug. 13.-General Car
rama, through his agency here, has
authorized the publication of a scath-
ing arraignment of the Latin-American
conference, the White House and
financial interests OH both sides of the
border, written by General Heriberto
lara, Constitutionalist.
II am informed the American de-
partment of state has suggested to the
A. B. C.s the idea of interfering in
direct manner in our affairs" he says.
THAT it is proposed to impose on us
president who will be supported by
the White House by force of arms.
IF such a thing has been accom-
plished by Mexican and foreign Jews,
who from the other side of the border
speculate in a scandalous and criminal
way with our misfortunes, and if the
Washington government considers the
highway robbery of the bandits of
Wall street more worthy of protection
and esteem than the autonomy of a
country, theoretically protest against
an outrage of such character.
1T cannot be justified either in the
name of civilization or the principles
of humanity, inasmuch as it is such
sentiments that have inspired the
Washington government and the A. B.
C.'s, they should begin their task by
interfering with the European war,
where civilization and humanity have
received the hardest blows, instead of
beginning with Mexico, which Is a
poor and weak country, which makes
such interference less just and decor
Gus because we are not fighting for
the preponderance of commerce. You
may rest assured, General Carranza,
that the working classes now with me
will follow your patriotic example, and
that we will all be by your side to de-
fend national autonomy with arms in
hand"

Importance Of kovno.
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 and Petrograd railroad, is an
Indication of the Importance which the
German general staff attaches to this
operation.
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.
Russians Re-occupy Town.

hard to retain both cities and IN the
latest official report from Petrograd

repulsed the German attacks, except
