Text Of Peace Appeal.
Following is the text OF the appeal
sent to the various military and civil
leaders in Mexico and published
broadcast among the Mexican people:
"The Mexican people are informed
that the following communication has
been sent to many prominent persons
In Mexico who possess authority or
military power within the republic"
Washington, d. c.. Aug. IL.
inspired by the most sincere spirit
OF American fraternity, and convinced
that they rightly. interpret the earnest
wish OF the entire continent, we (The
Pan-Amerfcan conferees), have met
informally at the suggestion Of the
secretary Of state Of the United States
to consider the Mexican situation and
to ascertain whether their friendly
and disinterested help could success
fully employed to reestablish peace
and constitutional order in our sister
repuOnc.
I'VE cannot doubt, that in the pres
ence OF sympathetic appeal from
their brothers of America, asking them
to save their motherland from an
abyss, that the patriotism of the men
who lead or aid In any way the bloody
strife will not remain unmoved; no
one can doubt that each and every one
OF them, will respond, nobly and reso-
lutely, to this friendly appeal and give
their best Efforts to opening the way to
some saving action.
I'VE, the undersigned, believe that
II the men directing the armed move
ments In Mexico should agree to meet,
either In person or by delegates. far
from the sound of cannon and with no
other inspiration save the thought of
their afflicted land, there to exchange
ideas and to determine the fate of the
country, from such action would result
undoubtedly the strong and unyielding
agreement requisite to the creation of
q provisional government which should
adopt the first steps necessary to the
constitutional reconstruction of the
country-and to issue the first and
most essential Of them all, the immed-
late call to general elections.
IAN adequate place within the Mex
lean frontiers, which for the purpose
might be neutralized, should serve as
the scat Of the conference, and in order
to bring about conference of this ma
ture the undersigned, or any of them.
will willingly, upon invitation, act as
intermediari es to arrange the time,
