to the youth of his community to see
that they have chance.
If the individual citizen would only
do what he could to make the city a
desirable place in which to live, to
rear his family and to educate his chill

II he had done all these things.
when his years of active business
life were over, he would be CON

with life long friends, rather than
seek new home among an alien peo-
pie where all the advantages that his
own city lacked had been provided.

Washington.-William ]. Bryan an
nounced that he had taken under adj
visement suggestion from editors of
foreign-language newspapers publish
ed in the United States that he make
9 trip to Europe as private peace
envoy to the warning powers.
In statement to a committee of
the editors, who, headed by DIR. Will
liam Fargo, had urged him to under
take the task, Mr. Bryan indicated
that he might at least visit neutral
European countries in the hope of
finding there information to aid Amer
lea in 'the maintaining of neutrality
and the prevention of a preparedness
that provokes rather than prevents
war"
Mr.. Bryan said that if he decided to
make the trip he would go not as a
spokesman of any special group, but
as "a representative of the peace SEN
timent of the United States, which in
cludes the vast majority of our peo-
ple."

AMERICAN CONSULS
MAY LEAVE MEXICO
State Department Notifies Them
to Be Ready.
AMERICAN CITIZENS WARNED
Secretary Lansing Issues Precaution-
airy Observation-Disclosures Repre-
sentative Announces His
Surprise.

Observation-Disclosures consuls in
Northern Mexico, which now has be-
come the chief battle-ground between
the contending factions, have been adj
vised by the State Department not
only to notify American citizens to
withdraw from the danger zones, but
to leave Mexico themselves in the
event that conditions become intoler-
able. Secretary Lansing described the
instructions to consuls, which were
issued several days ago, as simply pre-
cautlonary on account of the disturbed
conditions. They are similar to those
given to American consuls in Europe,
whenever the contending armies draw
near cities previously untouched by
the fighting.
The rapid advance Of General
Obregon's forces into Northern Mex
leo and frequent reports of lawless-
ness on the border for which General
Villa has disclaimed responsibility,
have led to the present measures, ac-
cording to State Department officials.
The only formal announcement on the
subject was as follows:
lowing to disturbed conditions pre-
vailing along the Mexican border, the
department repeats the advice hereto
fore given to American citizens to re-
main on this side of the international
line for the present"
ConsuIs May Leave.
AS soon as American citizens have
withdrawn there will be no necessity,
in the opinion of high officials here,
for the consuls to remain, but it was
denied that they had been ordered to
leave, discretion being vested in the
consuls themselves.
The notifications have extended to
consuls in Torreon, Chihuahua, Her
mosillo, Guayamas, Nogales and Ju-
arez, all Of which are in the territory
controlled by Villa. 1t is expected
that before another week or two most
of the Americans will have Withdrawn,

Liner HESPER|AN
CLOSED INCIDENT
Washington Disposed to Believe
Mine Sank Ship.
NO U-BOAT NEAR AT TIME.
The Outlook For a Friendly Settle
ment OF Difference With Ger
many Now Deemed Most
Favorable.
tCopyright,

Washington.-The case of the Allan
liner Hesperian, which was destroyed
by an explosion about two weeks ago
near Fasnet, has become practically a
closed incident at the State Depart
ment
Secretary Lansing received the re-
port of the German Admiralty in this
case and the department is disposed
to accept the German explanation.
The main point in the Admiralty re-
port is that the vessel could not have
been destroyed by German torpedo,
for the reason that the reports from
submarines at the time Of the accident
show that none of them was in that
locality. 1t is admitted by officials
that without positive proof to the con-
trary this statement would be con-
elusive. 1t is conceded also that from
the evidence sent to the State Depart
ment by Consul Frost at Queenstown
and from Ambassador Page at Lon
don the department was obliged to
conclude that no proof had been of
fered to connect German submarine
with the incident.
Fragments Not Preserved.
1t has been asserted by officers of
the Hesperian that they saw ''frag-
ments of torpedo" on deck. No one
however, saw a submarine, and so far
as is known the fragments referred to
were not preserved. Had the officers
preserved the fragments it would
have been possible to ascertain
whether they were part of a torpedo
or mine.
In the case of the Nebraskan. frag-
ments of metal were preserved and
were submitted to an expert commits
sion of the Navy Department here.
The report of that board has never
been made public, but it is known that
the board decided the fragments were
pieces of torpedo. The question did
not become important as Germany
subsequently admitted that the Ne
braskan had been torpedoed. It is
likely, therefore, that the theory of
the Hesperian having struck mine
will be accepted unless some positive
evidence to the contrary, not now in
sight, is obtained.
Differences Disappearing.
The friendly settlement by the
United States and Germany of the
cases of the Hesperian and the
Orduna has increased the expectation
that general understanding between
the two countries is fast approaching.
Officials do not discount the state
ment attributed to Count Won Bern
storff, the German Ambassador, in
New York. to the effect that final
and amicable settlement on all issues
could be looked for within probably
two weeks. This expectation is sup
ported by the statement Of officials
made here again that there is no ques-
ton of an ultimatum between the
United States and Germany in the dis
pute over the Arabic.
It is also pointed out that diplomacy
tided over break in the case of the
Lusitania, and it is expected that in
Germany's next note on the Arabic
she will clear the way for q settle
ment of that issue.

Washington - After nearly five
years Of revolution, three administra-
lions of Provisional Presidents, two
years Of "watchful waiting" measure
less suffering, property loss, stagna-
ton and national decentralization,
peace in Mexico now seems possible.
And If it comes, as promised, by
the recognition of Carranza, it will
come without American interference,
without the sacrifice of unnecessary
lives Of American soldiers, and with
out any yielding on the part of the
Taft and Wilson administrations to
the incessant clamor for forcible inter-
vention.
Main Hope In carranza.
1t is true, of course, that Carranza
has not yet been recognized He has
not yet given evidence of complete
domination Of the republic. He has
not yet conquered the opposing fac
tionalists and has not yet set himself
up in Mexico City.
But he has proceeded far toward
of four-ffths of the country. He holds
every important seaport on both
coasts. His army has occupied Mex
leo City and done much to relieve
the suffering there. He has driven
Zapata into the mountains of the
southern provinces and has pursued
Villa to the American border He has
set up a sort of constitutional gov
eminent in the territory which his
armies command.
Moreover, the Constitutionalist
cause in Mexico seems to represent
about all that is civilized in the re-
public. 1t has attracted to it's stand
ard many of the most patriotic people
there, and if there is any hope of en-
lightened self-goyernment in any ele-
ment in the country, that hope seems
just now to centre in Carranza and his
following.
Must Prove Ability.
Whether or not Carranza will be
formally recognized by this Govern
ment and the governments of Latin
America will not be determined, how
ever, until he has satisfied his neigh
bors that he is able to dominate the
entire country, to secure the rights Of
foreigners. to meet honestly and fairly
the claims that have piled up against
his country, and to offer his suffering
people some definite guarantees for
the future.
If within the next three weeks Car
ranza's arms triumph over Villa, If
the assurances which the neighboring
governments require are given; if
peace and order are restored, or even
approach restoration, and If Carranza
shows himself to be statesman as
well as soldier, it seems now that he
will be recognized and will be given
friendly support in resurrecting his
country.
