WASHINGTON, Aug. II. Presi,
dent Wilson on his return from Cor

there had been some anti-foreign
demonstrations. He outlined in de-
tail the discussion of peace plans at

OF the American diplomats.
Neither the President nor Secre-
tary Lansing was inclined to view
the situation rs requiring any further
precautionary measures than have
been taken in sending battleships to
Mexican waters and more federal
troops to the Texas border. They de-
voted most Of their time TO a discus
sion of the inter-American plan on
which they are placing their hopes for
the early restoration of peace in
Mexico

yet been sent although signed BY Sec
retary Lansing and the ambassadors
and ministers Of the six Central and
South American governments A list
of chiefs, generals and governors Is
being compiled and the appeal will
be telegraphed simultaneously to ev-
cry part OF Mexico.

announcement from the villa agency

Meet Until Middle November.

Petrograd, Sept. 49, via London
The Russian Duma has prorogued to-
day until the middle of November,
President Rodzianko announcing an
imperial order authorizing the proro-
cation which has been transmitted
through Premier Goremykin.
The session lasted only three min
utes. There was a muttering from a
section of the laboritc and radical de-
ruties of sit is crime as the imper-
ial message was read by the vice pres
ident but the constitutional demo-
Gratis maintained silence.
All the deputies Immediately left
the hall and only Deputy Kerensky, a
laborite, who shouted Down with all
traitors" attempting to speak. The
leaders of the Duma decided there
should be no debate because NJ. Ker-
ensy insisted upon his right to say
what he desired.
1t is pointed out that the emperor
reserved the right to recall the Duma
before November IA if he wished.
