Peace FAD; N Nm Mex.
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, Aug 6.-The con-
ference between six Latin-American
diplomats regarding the restoration
of peace in Mexico continued and
there is no announcement Of the
conclusion of the series. The confer
ence began yesterday and until the
program is perfected conferees de-
cline to discuss the proceedings
which they declare are informal and
confidential The first results are
likely to be final appeal for the
factions to get together. This is
aimed at the Carranza element,
which declined to enter the peace
conference. The note to Carranza
will probably set date for COM
pliance to the final plans. 1t will
depend upon Carranza's answer
whether Villa and other leaders are
willing to participate in that con-
ference.
The Latin American diplomats
coferred, among themselves at the
Argentine embassy before the re-
sumption of the conference. Sec
retary Lansing conferred with Cen
eral Scott, chief of staff, and Assist
ant Secretary Breckenridge. The
meeting has revived the report that
General Scott might be chosen to
persuade Carranza to yield.
