Washington, Aug. 18.-Here is the
Mexican pacification situation at a
glance. 1t is perfectly simple:
The participants in the conference
are: Ambassador Romulo S. Naon
of Argentina, Ambassador Eduardo
Saurez-Mujica of Chill, Ministers
Ignacio Calderon of Bolivia, Carlos
Maria de Pena of Uruguay and
JOAQUIN Mendez of Guatemala, with
Secretary of State Robert Lansing,
and Paul Fuller, special American
representative to Mexico.
The participants face these facts
The United States has invited con-
ferences with the diplomatic repre-
sentatives Of the principal Latin
American nations to invite their CO.
operation in securing peace in Mex
ico
The United States will adopt no
Mexican policy which fails to COM
mand the moral support of the Latin
American countries.
The Latin-American countries are
unanimously opposed to armed inter
vention by the United States at this
or probably any future time.
The United States is opposed to
recognizing any of the so-called revo-
lutionary leaders-Carranza, Villa,
Zapata-and would be glad to have
these all retire in favor of some per
son agreeable to them all.
None of the revolutionary leaders
has any notion of retiring in favor of
anybody momentarily, temporarily or
permanently.
Three and perhaps more of the
Latin-American diplomats in the con-
ference favor the recognition of Car
rama.
Nobody favors the recognition of
Villa or Zapata-their stars are fad
ing.
Carranza is strongly represented in
Washington by John Lind, Robert
Metcalf, Charles Douglas Edmundo
Martinez, Robert Baron, Louis
Cabrera, minister of finance in the
Carranza cabinet, and Robert Pes
queira.
Paul Fuller, who made a special in
ouiry into Mexican affairs for Presi-
dent Wilson, is disposed to favor the
Carranza administration; certainly he
is opposed to Villa.
Armed Intervention would be op-

overlooking the camping ground of
the modified millionaires here, Major
General Leonard Wood of the depart
ment of the East, discoursed as fol-
lows to the correspondent, who had
asked him what the serious signifi-
cance of this unprecedented encamp-
ment was.
"These men are getting as much
training" he said, "as they would in
most directions in three years with
the militia! In actual hours of drill
their work is the equivalent of five
months with the regular army For
there's no gardening work here, no
watering flowers and moving lawns
nor any of the other non-military in
terruptions which make our present
system of army posts for the regular
army so unsatisfactory.
"Here we have the first tangible
evidence of a new trend in Americas s
military development. These men are
going to take back to their friends
in all walks of life a new conception

posed by all the Mexican revolution
lists; no faction is willing to risk its
standing at home by the slightest en-
couragement of armed intervention.
The Carranza faction claims to be
making substantial headway toward
complete control and pacification of
the country.
The only course short of armed in
tervention in the failure Of moral sua-
sion is the arms embargo, and formal
recognition of one of the revolution
lists. In the present state of affairs
this would probably be Carranza.
Recognition would bring vast ac-
cess of financial credit to the faction
recognized, which, in the present pow
erty of the contestants, would go far
toward aiding the faction to ultimate
success.
The present conference is unofficial
and no formal diplomatic results can
be had until the Latin-American
governments authorize their repre-
sentatives to speak for them,
Secretary of State Lansing has
strongly urged all the Latin-American
diplomats to refrain from being inter-
viewed upon the deliberations of the
conference.

to have one next year near Chicago,
one near Denver, one at San Fran

their operation all the most available
timber for officers in the country
would be combed over, reports would
be made to Washington on every

army, the war department would have
on file the names and records of thou
