the three ranking ministers Of the
American republics, namely, those OF
Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemala. A.
10 the details which will be considered,
nothing can be said At the present
time, as the conference will be en-
tirely confidential"
While the State department charac-
terixcd the coming conference as an
informal one. tho sentiment has been
growing among American officials that
tho next step In the Mexican situation
should be one which would meet the
approval OF the world and should be
taken In concert with the nations Of
Central and South America, even II In
the last event the trend should be to-
ward military action.
Tho three ambassadors wore media

said, would further delay affirmative
action by the United States 70 restore
constitutional government In the war
torn republic.
Armed intervention 10 not believed
10 be contemplated In the President's 8
program. Many officials believe no
forcible measures will be required.
Persistent reports have reached here
that the faction leaders are inclined 70
yield to the demands Of this govern
ment for q peace conference.
Reports are generally credited that
message will be sent 70 the opposing
leaders giving them final chance to
cease hostliities within limited time
and assemble a conference to settle
their differences. Possibility Of an
other failure TO do so, in view Of the
last refusal Of General Carranza to join
In a conference with his adversaries,
is being considered by the President.
Il Is declared. in formulating plan OF
action.
Whether In that event general enn-
barge on arms expectations will be
imposed or American troops employed
TO assure the transportation Of food to
the starving people can not be predict
cd. II Is known. however, that the
army and navy have been preparing
and now are ready for any eventuality.
Secretary Lansing said that the rep
rcsontations sent to Generals Car
ranxa. villa and Zapata urging that
routes to Mexico City be opened to
provision trains, were forceful. The
message to Carranza, who controls the
railroads from Vera Cruz, was partic-
ularly emphatic. While not couched
as demand that the railroad to
Mexico City be opened and kept open,
its purport was to that effect.
No answer from any Of the Mexican
generals had been received. It was
believed, however, that provision
trains would be moving to Mexico City
within few days under guard OF Car
ranza troops.
Officials were led to this belief by
reports that General Gonzales had
driven off Villa column under Gen.
eral Fierro and returned to Villa
Guadeloupe, Just outside Of Mexico
City, practically occupying the capital.
Rowing bands of Zapata soldiers. which
have been harrassing the railroad. are
being driven off. II was said, and gar
risons stationed along the-railroad.

Hood River - While 1t is still too

while the opinions Of various experts
differ slightly, market men and grow

crop win be far smaller than that Of
last year, when approximately 900, 600
boxes OF fruit were shipped. This sea-
sons crop is estimated at from 90 70
10 per cent of that Of last year. On
