CARRANZA STILL SILENT
ON APPEAL FOR PEACE


WASHINGTON. August 2s.-No reply
has yet been received by the State De.
parement from General Carranza in re-
sponse to the appeal sent him urgins
a peace parley for the settlement OF
tho troubles in Mexico.
a high official of the department to-
day said that nothing more than a mere
polite acknowledgement of the receipt
Of the note is expected The State De-
partment understands that Carranza
will insist that he be recognized as the
head of the Mexican government.
That the peace plans OF the admins
tration so far have failed Is conceded
The State Department has unofficial in
formation that the other republics sig
natory to the appeal will not support
this government If 1t undertakes active
Intervention in Mexico. The represen-
tatives OF these countries have been
sounded and have strongly intimated
that their respective governments fear
that active Intervention in Mexico by
the United States means ultimate po-
litical and commercial control OF that
country, all of which would be to the
disadvantage of the Latin American
republics. From the viewpoint OF these
diplomats the United States must accept
Carranza or permit existing conditions
to continue until one faction or the
other Is permanently successful. Fur
thermore. there is good reason for the
belief they have indicated that IL Car
rama is rejected and intervention is
adopted, hope on the part OF tho United
States Of closer commercial relations
81, nj
republics Will end.
WILL NOT .RECoNVENE
TILL REPLY IS RECEIVED
The Pan American conference will
not be reconvened until the reply OF
Carranza has been received. and 1t is
believed he will not send II until ne
is fully installed in Mexico City, a fact
that will add to his prestige and
strengthen his claim for recognition.
Establishing an embargo on arms in
tended for Mexico does not seem to
be the present purpose OF the admins
tration. The best indication is that
following Carranzas rejection Of the
appeal there will follow another period
of awaiting Developments.
Meanwhile, there is renewed activity
on the part Of the military forces of
the opposing factions in Mexico. Villas
representatives here have advised him
of the demand for recognition that
Carranza is preparing. Villa. therefore.
according to information received by
the department, is hastsning to meet
Obrcgon and preparing for n decisive
engagement in the neighborhood of
Torreon. If Obregon crushes villa In
this fight the situation will be ma
terlally simplifcd.
