hind the action Of the administration in
reference to Mexico.
What ATTRACTED the most attention was
the text Of the reply sent by the govern
nnent of Argentina to Carranxa's protest
against that governments participation
in the conferences. This message was
made much Of In Carranza quarters. as
it was declared 1t showed that the South
American government was really not at
all in sympathy with the plan Of WASH
ington for interfering in Mexico. 1t con-
tained the following statements:
Il am directed by the President to re-
ply to you that the Argentinian govern
ment In having a representative at that
conference Washington mas done so not
only in accordance with its traditional
policy of respect to other sovereignties.
but also to reaffirm 1t in the face Of a
problem which by affecting the destinies
Of Mexico will equally AFFECT the great
American family.
THE Aforementioned conference has
been based from its incipiency on the
understanding that any act or design
which might mean an interference in the
internal Affairs Of Mexico should be elm
mated beforehand. and. above all. any
purpose Of armed intervention. Once the
opinion of all were united within this
fundamental idea. the Washington con-
ference obeys a lofty inspiration of PAN
American solidarity. and instead OF find
ing any cause for alarm the Mexican
people should see in 1t a proof Of the
friendly consideration that her fate
evokes in u.s. and calls forth our wishes
for her pacif1cation and development"

PEACE MOVE NIPPED IN
BUD BY FIRST CHIEF

Correspondence made public here last
night discloses that First Chief Carranza
nipped in the bud a movement inaugu-
rated in Washington this week by Mexi-
cans to bring about a conference of rep
resentatives Of the factions to discuss
ways and means whereby peace might be
restored south of the border without the
interposition of any other American
power.
This correspondence. which passed be-
tween Eliseo Arredondos the Washington
representative of Carrtlza. and Enrique
c. Llorente, Villas agblt in this Capital.
was made public by Mr.. Llorente. 1t
shows that on August g. two days before
the pan-American conference met in New
York, Mr.. Llorente addressed communi-
cation to Mr.. Arredondo. in which he pro-
posed that two representatives of Villa
and two representatives Of Carranza
should meet at such time and place as
might be mutually agreed upon, .in Or
der to discuss. like good Mexican citi-
zens. matters that So much concern the
national integrity"
Terms Transmitted to Carranza.
Mr. Arredondo transmitted the terms
Of the proposal to Gen. Carranza at Vera
Cruz. The first chief replied, directing
his Washington agent not to confer with
the Villistas. In his letter to Mr..
Llorente notifying him that the first
chief had refused authority to deal with
the Villistas. Mr.. Arredondo stated that
any future overtures looking to confer
ences with a view to the adjustment of
Mexico's troubles by Mexicans must be
made direct to the first chief himself.
According to the correspondence
given publicity by Mr. Llorente. the
villa representative in Washington
made the proposal for a conference
with Mr.. Arredondo as the result of a
statement contained in a brief filed
with the State Department a week or
SO ago in behalf of Carranza by
Charles A. Douglass. counsel for the
first chief in Washington. This state
ment, In substance, was that Carranza
was willing to consent to a meeting
with representatives of Villa for the
purpose Of attempting to restore peace
and constitutional government in the
republic of Mexico"

|NIEMEV RIVER
BALKS GERMANS
Thousands of Bodies Are Left
on Its Bank by Teu-
ton Army.
KOVNO ASSAULTS COSTLY
Loss of Life in Attempt to Take
Fortress Quickly Said to Have
Been Terrific.
By FREDERICK RENNEr.

Petrograd. Aug. 12.-The bank of
the Niemen forms the worst stumbling
block the Germans have had to en-
counter. On ii many thousands of
bodies have been left behind by the
enemy. who is still on the south bank
Of the river.
The German efforts against the fort
ress OF Kovno have cost them more
dearly than any previous attempts at
storming during the eastern campaign.
They brought up by rail and motor
their heaviest artillery and tried
boldly to take by main force what
ordinarily would have required pro-
longed operations.
They used an entire army and spared
neither men nor shells in order that
they might take Kovno quickly. They
lost a colossal number Of men in try
ing to prevent the garrison of the
fortress from repairing the damages.
On the third day of their attack the
Germans became more insistent in
their assaults on the western and
northwestern sectors of Kovno. which
protrude for five or six miles between
the Lower Niemen and the River
Yessa.
Russians In Counter-attack.
The Russians made a counter-attack,
destroying three German battal!ons and
capturing many men and machine guns.
kovno is the chief obstacle to the Ger
man effort to obtain control of both
banks of the Niemen. Hence their con-
tinued desperate efforts to reduce the
fortress. which is to be the base of the
Russian line when the regrouping of the
Cars armies In the south is completed
Won Mackensen in the north has been
frustrated by the change of front of
the Germans to the Narew from the
southwark to the eastward. When Won
Woyrsch's army stepped In between the
latter and the fourth Austrian army,
whose purpose II was to cut off the
from Brest-Litovsk. this opera
tion failed. The Russians fought so
desperately that although Mackensen
was supported by seven or eight corps
and had the best technical means Of
warfare at his command-including pois-
onous gases-this attempt to pierce the
Russian front on the right bank Of the
Vieprz failed and the enemy has now
been repulsed twenty miles back to the
river Ukherka
Experts here regard the Russian front
as favorable. The Zlopa-Lipa Dniester
line is very secure. the Narew-Bug line
varies according to the stubborness of
the offensive conducted by the Austro-
Germans and the Niemen front Is secure,
while the Dvina-Niemen front is grad
ually moving to the westward
