Their meeting revived . report that
General Scott might be chosen TO
persuade General Carransa OF the nee
essity Of yielding. Such a suggestion
submitted to Secretary Lansing some
time ago has not been acted upon.
The Latin-Amedcan diplomats are
understood to favor for president OF
Mexico some man who will represent
the great majority of Mexico's inhabit-
ants who are not fighting under any
military leaders. They consider that
the fighting forces represent such a
small percentage Of the population
that all military chiefs should yield
to the masses who deplore the war,
and have been innocent victims Of its
hardships.
Secretary Lansing said that there
might be some public announcement
tonight, dependent on developments
A long telegram from Jesus Acuna,
minister of foreign affairs In the Car
rama cabinet, was forwarded to SEQ
retary Lansing today by Carranza's
Washington agents. It said 5000 addi-

Grand Duke Nicholas Has
Hands Full to Retreat
With Intact Army
POLAND OFFERED
MORE LIBERTIES
Bid Is Made to Win Poles
Away From the Gar
on Side of Germans

London, Aug. 6.-With the great
Russian fortresses of Warsaw and
Ivangorod captured and the fall of
Riga, the capital of the Baltic prov
inces, imminent, the Austro-G German
onslaught has reached its height in
the east, and the next step will be the
German emperor's triumphant entry
into the Polish capital That event is
likely soon to be followed by the pro-
nouncement of united and semi
autonomous Poland embracing not
only the territory wrested from the
Russians, but the Austrian crown land
Of Galicia.
Meantime the Russian armies are
fighting their way backward toward
Russia proper, infiicting blows on the
invaders wherever possible, trying to
fend them of the railways running
north and south in order that the ends
OF the German ntppers may not meet
and in closing bring disaster to Rus
sian arms. The position of the army
of Grand Duke Nicholas now Is a mat
ter of solicitude, as the occupation Of
Warsaw Is believed to be prelude to
a greater purpose, that Of enveloping
the retreating forces.
The Petrograd reports show the
grand duke has retired to the right
bank of the Vistula both at Warsaw
and Ivangorod, destroying the bridges
ct both points and contesting the Ger
man advance across the river.
Back of the retiring Russians is the
vast morass OF central Poland with
few railways and primitive roads,
making virtually impossible quick

back Of Warsaw, the only fortress
Russians is Brest-Litovsk. Thus the
Russians are menaced by General Won
Buelow's columns bending southwark
and by Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
southern army bending northward.
The fall Of Ivangorod proper, fore
cast in the Russian retirement from
the west Of the city is officially re-
ported today in bulletins both from
Berlin and Vienna.
German to be Governor.
The occupation of Warsaw now Is
centering attention on series of i'm
portant events that are being arrang-
ed. First, will be the selection of
German governor. Reports indicate
the appointee will be German prince,
possibly son Of the German emperor
or an Austrian archduke, who will be
vested with authority akin to that
which Napoleon gave to his brothers
and to his marshals as kings of oc-
cupied territory.
Berlin reports a council to be held
on Sunday will formulate proclama-
tion declaring Poland to be semi
autonomous state under joint Polish
and Austro- Hungarian rule. This con-
forms with recent decision of
Polish congress held at Piotrkow,
Russian Poland, which proposed
Joint Polish and dAustro-Hungarian rule
and separate Polish army and the
fullest Polish autonomy consistent
with the strategic interests of Austria
Hungary.

tions. The river Dvina is intrin-
sically a more formidable obstacle, but
as the Riga is situated on both sides
of the river, it does not afford oppor-
tunity for effective defense.
1.-TWO corps Of General Won Buelow's
army already have reached the Mussa.
The evacuation of Riga is in full swing.
The streets are packed with dense
crowds and the stations are besieged
with those anxious to leave.
"The evacuation of Mitau was effect
ed by the postoffice employees and the
police last Saturday. German resi-

rival of their countrymen. They had
made no secret of their sympathies." ;"

ENGLISH PLAN TO
START BLOCKADE
Nothing Further Has Been Heard of
the Zeppelins; Report May
Have Been False.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-(3:30 a. nj
Nothing further has been heard up 10
this hour of a Zeppelin raid nor is
there any confirmation of reports that
German submarines were seen yester-
day in the Irish sea between HOlyhead
and Dublin. Cross channel services
are still running and it Is considered
there is no great danger for swift ves-
sells.
There seemingly was no occasion
for alarm in London over a Zeppelin
raid and the authorities have been
unable to discover how the rumOrs
arose that one was imminent.
English papers comment bitterly on
Germany's methods Of waging war
and discuss what methods Great
Britain should use in reply. The
Morning Post ADVOCATES the declara-
uOn of strict blockade of the Ger
man coast, contending that such a
step is practicable.
Regarding the difficulty of dealing
with neutral vessels bound for neutral
ports with cargoes for re-export TO
Germany the paper says:
Diplomacy exists for the removal
of such difficulties"
The sailing of the steamer Dacia
has reopened newspaper discussion of
her status. The Chronicle, In an edi-
torial, reminds the American people
that Great Britain's decision not to
declare cotton contraband was a
costly concession to America.
Every one of our brave men who
falls by a German bullet or is blown

per says "is a victim of American
grown cotton. We are not complain
