to Element that Will Bring
About Peace.
RECOGNITION WILL Be WEAPON

Washington, June3-All factions
in Mexico were publicly called upon
by President Wilson yesterday, in
the name of the United States gov
eminent ito accommodate their differ
ences" and set up a government that
can be accorded recognition Fail-
ure to unite in movement to bring
peace to Mexico within a very short
time" it was announced in state
ment telegraphed TO Gems. Carranza,
Villa, Zapata and others, would con
strain the United States Ito decide
what means should be employed in
order to save the people OF the south
ern republic from further devasta-
tions of internal warfare.
Everywhere-in official and diplo-
matte quarters and among Mexicans
of varied sympathies-the statement
was interpreted as meaning that the
United States would bring pressure
to bear first TO unite the factions in
the choice of a provisional president
and failing to bring all elements to-
gether would give its active support
to those elements which did agree.
Intervention was considered as a pos
sible ultimate development, but only
if hopeless condition of anarchy
followed, with no remedy from with
in the republic.
The text of the Presidents state
ment follows:
For more than two years revolu-
tionary conditions have existed III
Mexico. The purpose of the revolu-
tion was to rid Mexico OF men who
ignored the constitution OF the repub-
lie and who used their power in con
tempt OF the rights of the people, and
with these purposes the people of The
United States instinctively and gen
egously sympathized But the lead
ers of the revolution. in the very
hour OF their success, have disagreed
and turned their arms against one an
other All protesting the same OBJ
jeets, they are. nevertheless. unable
or unwilling to cooperate A central
authority at Mexico City is no soon

its authority denied by those who
were expected to support it.
Mexico apparently is no nearer a
solution of her troubles than she was
when the revolution was first kindl-
ed And she has been swept by civil
war as if by fire. Her crops are de-
stroyed, her fields lie unseeded, her
work cattle are confscated for the
use of the armed factions, her people

and young women which gives an OPP
portulity for vacation full of good
times and good sport for girls over
twelve years old
In many such camps hundreds of
dollars are charged for the seasons
outing. but this one aims to charge
only enough to make ex-
penses and is not money
making project in any way
The plans specify between four and
five dollars per week. depending on
the number entering. The more that
come. the smaller the price.
The camp of the Troy Y NJ c. A..
at Barbers pond has been obtained

tally, as there is no place in the
world whore stronger physical vital
ity gained and firmer friendships
made than in a week in the open.
The number of guests is limited to
40 per week. or 100 for the entire

DERASTORfF TOLD
WHAT AMERICA
WILL DEMAND
That Germany Abide By Rules of
International Law
LIVES MUST Be PROTECTED
No Objection to Submarine Warfare
If Conducted with This End
in View.

Washington. JuneS 3-President
Wilson emphasized in an informal
talk with Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador yesterday the in
tense feeling of the American people
over the sinking of the Lusitania and
other violations OF American rights
on the high seas, and impressed upon
him that the United States must in
sist on an adherence by Germany to
the accepted principles of information
al law as they affect neutrals
No announcements were made af-
ter the conference which had been
arranged at the ambassadors request
but it was stated authoritively that
there would be no change in the plan
OF the president and his cabinet to
send an inquiry to ascertain definite
ly whether the German government
will abide by international law or fol-
low it's own rules of maritime war
fare. The note, which is being writ
ten by President Wilson. will be dis
patched before the end OF the week.
The Commute meeting of Mr.. VIII
son and Count Won Bernstorn was
cordial, their conversation friendly.
and both discussed fundamentals and
not details Count Won Bernstorff
later told friends that the interview
had been satisfactory and that the
president had spoken clearly and
frankly The ambassador felt very
hopeful when he returned to the EN-
bassy. He believed the report which
he prepared for transmission 10 Ber-
lin would enlighten the German for
eign Office on the true state OF the
American governments opinion and
pave the way to a better understand
ing,
In official and diplomatic quarters
opinion was divided as TO the effect
OF the conference. Some thought it
would be beneficial and bring from
Germany a concliatory reply to the
next American communication 9th
ers pointed out that the German am
bassador similarly was hopeful when
President Wilson's note of May 13 was
dispatched and that he recommended
several methods to the German for
eign Office of meeting the American
position satisfactorily. II is an open
secret in diplomatic circles, however.
that the ambassadors suggestions
were not followed then and specula
ton was widespread as to what in
iluenee his communication OF to-day
expressing as it did the viewpoint
of the president himself-might have
on his government.
Ii Is believed the ambassador was
told that if the German government
could conduct its submarine warfare
in accordance With the dictates of
humanity, in way that would not
endanger the lives and property of
neutrals there would be no objection
to the use of underwater craft as a
commerce destroyer. The exercise
of the right of visit and search how
ever, the president is said to have ex
planned, would be insisted upon when
the submarines encounter unarmed
merchantmen or vessels which do not
resist capture.

no man seems to see or lead the way
TO peace and settled order. There is
no proper protection either for her
own citizens or for the citizens of
other nations resident and at work
within her territory. Mexico is starv-
ing and without a government.
In these circumstances the people
and government of the United States
cannot stand indifferently by and do
nothing to serve their neighbor. They
want nothing for themselves in Mexi-
co. Least of all do they desire to
settle her affairs and for her claim
any right to do so. But neither do
they wish to see utter ruin come up
On her, and they deem it their duty
as friends and neighbors to lend any
aid they properly can to any instrum-
entality which promises to be effect
i've in bringing about settlement
which will embody the real object OF
the revolution--constitut gov
ernment and the rights of the people.
Patriotic Mexicans are sick at heart
and cry out for peace and for every
self-sacrifice that may be necessary
to procure it, Their people cry out
for food and will presently hate as
much as they fear every man in their
country or out of it who stands be-
tween them and their daily bread.
ut is time, therefore, that the gov
ernment OF the United States should
frankly state the policy which in
these extraordinary circumstances it
becomes its duty to adopt. Ii must
presently. what it has not hitherto
done or felt at liberty to do, lend its
active support to some man or group
of men, if they may be found, who
can rally the suffering people of Mex
leo to their support in an effort TO ig
more, if they cannot unite, the war
ring factions of the country. return
to the constitution of the republic SO
long in abeyance and set up gov
eminent at Mexico City which the
great powers of the world can recog
nize and deal with, a government
with whom the program OF the revolu
ton will be a business and not mere
ly a platform. /. therefore, publicly
and very solemnly call upon the lead
ers of the factions in Mexico to act,
to act together and to act promptly
for the relief and redemption of their
PROSTATE country. ] feel it to be my
duty to tell them that ii they cannot
accommodate their differences and
unite for this great purpose in very
short time. this government will be
constrained to decide what means
should be employed by the United
States in order to help Mexico 20
save herself and to serve her people.
