"Of course" said Mrs. Stern. "wc

Russia Now Ready to
Yield to ROumanians

PARIS, June 22.-The negotiations be-
tween Roumania and the allies looking
toward Roumanias entrance upon the
war appears to be near conclusion.
Russia's opposition to Roumania's pos
session of Czernowitz. capital of Buko-
wilma, in case Of the success Of the en-
tente allies. according to the news
reaching Paris. virtually has been aban-
doned. and only one difficulty remains.
That Is Serbia's desire to possess the
narrow triangle in Hungary opposite
Belgrade. including Pancsova, as pro-
lection for the Serbian capital.
On the other hand. Roumania is said
to claim that with Semlin in Serbian
hands. as has been proposed. Belgrade
bulwark. and insists on the Danube.
Thesis, Maros, and Pruth rivers as
her new frontiers in the eXiSting
Austro- Hungarian territory.
Realizing the present difficulties OF
Russia and the value of immediate
assistance by Roumania. it is said
that Roumania Is satisfied to await
the result of the pressure of the allies
on Serbia before she makes move.
Roumania's situation Is considered
here as particularly strong in view OF
the admitted arrangement with Bull
garia; under which Bulgaria would be
bound to enter the war with Rouma-
mia and operate against Constanti-

BUSINESS MEN HEAR
PLANS FOR PEACE
Carroll Livingston Riker Ad.
dresses Meeting at Wood
ward & Lothrop's.

About two score Of business men
representing washington's trade
bodies. Gathered in woodward and
oLthrop's auditorium today to listen
Is Carroll Livingston Riker explain
his plan for international control Of
the seas and a continuous peace con-
ference.
II was connected Indirectly as an
advising engineer wl.h the building Of
the early Holland submarines" said
Mr.. Riker, and while we knew that
the submarine would be an instru-
mcnt Of destruction, we did not realize
that 1t would soon maSe war on the
seas impracticable. England's navy
soon will be less protection to her
than a fleet OF fish boats. Naval fight
ing now resembles two persons in
combat, each Of whom can take the
others life. but neither of whom has
any method OF elf-defense."
Mr.. Riker then eXpounded his plan
for an International police which was
embodied In resolution introduced Into
the House of Representatives at his
suggestion last February by Congress
man Calder. He asked the meeting for
endorsement OF this idea and also for
his plan to send representatives to q
continuous conference looking toward

ber of Commerce. said that he though,
the representatives present were toe
little acquainted with the project to

George Z. Shinn, of the Board OF
Trade. also said that he thought fhos.
present at the meeting know too little
of the proposition, and asked that PAM
phiets which have been distributed by
Mr. Riker, be sent to all business men
of the city and later meeting celleo
to take action.
Charles Darr also advised waiting IN,
til the plan could be gone into by the
heads OF the city's various tred de bodies
with the New York men who are com

O'Shaughnessy Finds
No Orders Awaiting
Him At Department

Nelson O'Shaughnessy, former charge
OF the American embassy at Mexico
City, recalled as secretary OF the en-
bassy at Vienna, called at the State De-
partment today to find out whether or
ders awaited him.
Later, MIR. O'Shaughnessy called at
the White House.
In view OF the familiarity OF MIR.
O'Shaughnessy with Mexican affairs, It
has been surmised that he was to be
sent on a special mission to Mexico.
Nothing official has been disclosed.
The absence OF orders for Mr..
O'Shaughnessy at the State Department
today led to speculation whether he
can service or was to be let out OF the
service.
Reports to the Red Cross indicate
that Red Cross supplies are being as
senbled at Pachuca, about forty
miles northeast of Mexico City for the
double purpose of sending supplies on
to MeXica City as soon as railroad
connections are established. and feed
ing Mexicans at Pachuca. Several
carloads of corn and beans have
reached there. About 10000 are being
fed at Pachuca.
1t is expected that within a few
days, on the heels OF the arrival OF
Pablo Gonzales troops in Mexico City,
Red Cross supplies will be sent in
be grcvious in Mexico City.
Consul General Shanklin and
Charles ]. O'Connor are taking charge
of the work at Pachuca, and will have
charge of the movement of Red Cross
supplies into Mexico City.

"Grew Overnight
To Get New Census
Hamtramck, Mich, Claims Growth
from 5000 to $4,000 In the
Last Five Years,

President Wilson issued an executive
order today directing that a special
census be taken at Ham
tramck, a suburb OF Detroit. which
claims a growth Of from 5000 to is, 900
since the 1910 census was taken. This
is the second special census ordered
by the Wilson Administration. The
first-was made for Tulsa, Okla. E. F.
Hartley, an official of the Census Bu-
reaS left today for Detroit to take
charge of the work.
The Detroit suburb desires a new
classification in order to raise it from
the status of third or fourth class
city to one of the first class. The ques.

TINE NOT R|PEFO
PEACE TALK-W|[S0N
One of Sides Must First Evince
a Disposition to Stop Fight
ing.

President Wilson does not believe the
time Is ripe to renew his offers OF
mediation to the warning powers Of
Europe. This no indicated strongly to-
day when he told callers that the
United States at this time has no plan
under way to bring the conflict to a
close.
Nevertheless the President made it
plain that the United States stands
ready at any time to act whenever the
belligerents evince a disposition to talk
peace.
On his return from Cornish the Presi-
dent will probably receive the league of
business men. now in session in Wash
ington. and hear from them their pro-
posal that he invite other neutral pow
ers to send delegates to"a continuous
conference in the interest of peace.
The attitude of the President. how
ever Is not intended to discourage any
private movements put under way in
the interest of peace. He Is said to
feel though. that the usefulness of the
United States as ultimate mediator
would only be impaired by inopportune
Steps.
