INVITES PEACE CONFERENCE.
United States Asks Latin America to
Confer Over Mexico.

washington, Aug. 3.-The United
States has decided to ask the co-opera-
ton of South and Central America in

tina, Brazil and Chile and the ministers
from Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemala
have been asked to confer with Secre-
tary Lansing here Thursday. This an

conference will be ambassadors from
Brazil. Argentina and Chile and the
three ranking ministers Of the Ameri-
can republics, namely those Of Bolivia.
Uruguay and Guatemala AS to the de-
tails which will be considered nothing
can be said at the present time"
While the statement characterized
the coming conference as informal. the
American officials feel the next step In
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 toward military ac-
ton.
The three ambassadors were media
tors In the Niagara conference In the
summer Of 1914. The three ministers
are in point Of seniority at the head
Of the Central American legation corps.

Fleet Of Armed Motor Boats to Combs
German Craft,

Fleet Of Armed Motor Boats to Combat
German Craft.
Washington. Aug. 3.-Great Britain's s
answer to the German submarine Is all
most ready At least, 1t is one answer,
and it is expected to be an effective
one.
The so-called war zone about the
British Isles is to be constantly pa
trolled by an enormous fleet Of ex-
tremely speedy motor boats. each of
which will mount one or two quick
firing guns.
Within few months it is expected
there will be several thousand Of these
sea wasps in commission. Orders have
been already placed IN the United
States for 500 OF them and tho work
Of construction is far advanced.
Speed 80 to so Miles.
The submarine hunters will be from
sixty to eighty feet In length over all.
They will be driven by gas engines
which will send them thru the water
at from thirty to sixty miles an hour.
Their small size will make them a
poor mark for torpedo attack. even If
1t were worth while to lAunch q missile
which costs 5000 IN the chance of de-
stroying boat whfch-compared with
other war crafts-is not expensive to
build. Their great speed and ease Of
handling also will aid to make them al
most invulnerable to attack by gun
fire.
It is planned to guard the sea lanes
with swiftly moving patrols of these
arm ann ed ed motor boats. number os tHe;.:
will be sent out to meet and convoy In
coming munition ships and merchant
men,
They will be fitted with searchlights
and once q screen Of them has been
formed about liner 1t is not thought
that any submarine will be safe IN
poking its periscope above the surface
Of the water within gun shot distance.
"Dvers" Must Come to Top.
Submarines are driven by oil .or
gasolene engines, or by steam when
running on the surface Of the water:
When submerged they get their power
from electric storage batteries. which
have, of course, only a limited driving
power before they are exhausted.
When submarine has Travelled for
certain distance under water and used
up all the power In its batteries IT
must, perforce, rise to the surface and,
generating electric current by running
its engines, charge the cells again. To
completely recharge the batteries Of
submarine requires that 1T lie on the
surface for something like eight hours.
Usually of course, an enemy subma-
rine will 90 this work at night.
It is thought that a large fleet of
swift armed motorboats constantly pa
trolling the waters about the British
Isles will make the recharging of Ger
man submarine batteries an exceeding
ly dangerous II not impossible task.
