WASHINGTON, June All fac
tions in Mexico were publicly called
upon by President Wilson today in the
name of the United States government
ITO accommodate their differences"
and set up a government that can be
accorded recognition.
Failure to unite in a movement to
bring peace to Mexico within a very
short time as was announced in
statement telegraphed to Generals
Carranza, Villa, Zapata and others,
would constrain the United States to
decide what means should be employ
ed In order to save the people Of
the southern republic from further de-
vastations Of internal warfare
Everywhere, in official and diplo-
matte quarters and among Mexicans
Of varied leanings, the statement was
interpreted as meaning that the Uni.
ted States would bring pressure I
bear first to unite the faction in
choice OF a provisional president,
falling to bring all elements tor
would give its active support
elements which did agree.
tion was considered as a pr
mate development, but on
less condition OF anar I'd
with no remedy from d re-
public.
The presidents staten 2 arks a
departure in the policy OF tts Wash
ington government toward Mexico. Its
effect here was to start variety of
speculations as to what the American
government meant by lending cts ac-
tive moral support to some man or
group of men, ii such may be found.
in an effort to ignore II they cannot
unite the warning factions of the coun-
try"
| In high official quarters 1t was ex
plQined that the United States had
hitherto maintained neutrality as be-
tween the factions, but now was pre-
pairing to choose between them or to
give its support to those elements In
the existing factions that gave most
promise of success.
An embargo on arms and the cut
ting off OF other means of support in
the United States will be put into
operation to assist the chosen ele-
ments as against those which ignored
the American governments demand
for peace.
While details of the governments
policy are not yet available. 1t was
said on good authority, that it was
intended to restore constitutional gov
ernment in Mexico after the factions
had agreed on man for provisional
president by first according recogni-
ton to Vasanez Tagle or some of the
other members Of the cabinet OF the
late President Madero, entitled to sue
cession under the Mexican laws.
The minister SO recognized would
be expected formally to appoint to the
cabinet the man chosen to head the
new government, in whose favor he
then would resign. Ernest Madero
and Manuel Bonilla also were men,
bers of the Madero cabinet, but Vas
euez Tagle, minister of justice, was
the only one who did not present his
resignation.
The details of constitutional sue
cession, however, it Is understood,

SAN FRANCISCO, June H.
National woman suffrage by 1917
and President Wilson's renomin-
alton were prophesied by Mrs.
William Kent, wife of Congress
man Kent, in an address today
before the newly formed Cali
fornia branch of the congression-
al union for woman suffrage in
session here. Mrs. Kent said
further in a private interview
that faith in the passage by the

Germans Can Blow Up
Vessels By Wireless

LONDON, May 81 (1:55 p.m.)
The suggestion has been
made in the Evening Standard
by Fred T. Jane, the naval au-
thor, that the steamer Princess
Irene was blown up by a Ger
man wireless device. The Prin-
cess Irene, an auxiliary in the
British navy, was blown up last
week in Sheerness harbor with
a loss of more than 800 lives.
Mr.. Jane pointed out the fact
that the battleship Bulwark was
suddenly blown to atoms not far
from the same spot and said It
was "curious coincidence" ltal-
ian experiments, he said, have
proved It possible to explode a
properly attuned charge by wire
less from a short distance.

LONDON, June 2.-(10:45 p. MI
The battle for Przemysl which is
proving one Of the most stubborn and
sanguinary of the war, continues with
unabated fury. Both sides have pour
ed reinforcements into the field and
with attacks and counter attacks, the
losses in men and material are piling
up to an unprecedented extent.
The German and austrian reports
claim that some of the forts on the
northern front already have fallen and
that on the southeastern front their
troops are progressing toward the rail-
way that joins the fortress with Lem
berg But the latest Pettrograd COM
munication says that the Germans,
who got into one fort, were driven
out and makes no mention Of the cap
ture Of Stry or of other successes
claimed by the Teutonic allies.
To the southeast, simultaneously
with this battle, the Germans are
making another effort to break
through the Bzura lines toward War
saw, but whether this is serious
attempt to capture the Polish capital
or only a diversion to prevent the
Russians from sending more reinforce
ments into Galicia is not disclosed
The Germans claim to have captured
upward of 100000 Russians and an i'm
mense amount Of material during the
month of May. Despite this, the Rus
SLAMS do not appear to have slack
ened their resistance.
On the Gallipoli peninsula the Brit
ish and French lines have been SUBJ
jected to severe attacks by the Turks,
all of which, according to the British
report, issued this evening, have been
rerulsed There, as in France, trench
warfare is being followed, but in this
case the allies have the support OF
their fleet which in the day time is
able to search the Turkish trenches
and prevent the Turks from coming
out into the open and also support
the allies attacks.
So far as France is concerned, the
most important fighting in progress
is to the north of Arras, where the
Germans and French are contending
for the possession of the sugar rein
ery at Souchez, which both claim to
hold, and on the outskirts of LIE Pre-
ire forest, where the battle for the
trenches has been continuous for
weeks.
The latest victim of the German
submarines is the British liner Sadie.
which was sunk in the North sea with
seven of her crew.
