APPEAL TO MEXICO
Continued from first page. }

Continued from first page.)
The conferees confidently EXPECT
within a reasonable time enough IA
Vorable replies to warrant them in
extending their aid to arrange for the
proposed peace congress. Carranza' g
attitude still is a matter OF specula-
ton. Although his position thus far
has been regarded as defiant, IL is
hoped the friendly tone of the appeal
may lead him to open negotiations
with the conferees. 1t generally is
believed he will reply by making
counter-proposals of some sort.
Should Carfanza make no reply
whatever, 1t is expected the conferees
will accept the invitation OF other
factions to arrange details for a
peace conference without his partici-
patton.
In support OF a government not
representing all of the factions prob
ably 1t would become necessary to ex.
tend the plans OF the Pan-American
conference. An embargo on arms
against forces which might oppose
the new government probably would
be the first step.

SHUT OFF COTTON

altering the sit Its of their rifles, an
eXpedient which not even Germany
could be prepared to adopt in the
course OF a great war.
He declared that cotton was going
into Germany by devious routes. 1t
was sold, he said, to Dutch and Swed-
ish companies under a guarantee
that 1T would not be sold to Germany
or Austria. While technically this
guarantee was not violated, Sir
Charles contended it was in reality
subterfuge, for the Dutch and
Swedish consignees sold the ship
ments to Swiss companies who, in
turn, sold them to Great Britain g
adversaries.
Sir Charles estimated that a thous-
and tons OF cotton is used every day
OF the war and he protested that 1t
was grossly unfair to the English SOL
diers and tAir allies that Great Bri-
tain should continue to supply Ger
many with this commodity.
Had cotton bene stopped at the
beginning OF the war" he said, 1--WE
might reasonably expect to see the
war nearing an end"
letter from Lord Beresford was
read at the meeting in which he said
II cotton had been declared contra
band last February the war now
would be approaching its final scenes
and added:
Cotton is still entering Germany.
She might just as well be allowed to
import shells. Neutral powers should
be informed that we intend to main
tain our maritime rights as a bellig-
erent. or what use to us Is the mas
terry of the sea unless we profit by its
advantages?
We don't wish to hamper the
trade of the great English speaking
nation across the Atlantic There are
diniculties, but difficulties were Gre
ated to be faced.'
The solution of the problem pro-
posed by Lord Beresford would be
for the British government to buy up
the entire American cotton crop and
resell afterwards, even II at loss.

NEW UPRISING In HAITI
Admiral Caperton Sends Marines

New urrisings by the Bobo and

Cape Hait'en and have forced Rear
Admiral Caperton to establish mill

was Issued at the navy department at
Washington Friday:
admiral Caperton reports that on
account OF disturbed conditions in

Bobo and Zamor factions, 1t has be-

in the same morning as at Port au

COMPLETING LAST APPEAL
TO THE MEXICAN LEADERS
Washington Optimistic Friday De-
spite Carranza's Refusal to
Talk Peace With Villa.

State daprtment officials Friday
were busy completing arrangements
for the dispatch Of the Pan-American
appeal to the Mexican factional lead
ers calling upon them to end Mexi-
cos civil strife and assemble a peace
conference. The communication,
signed by Secretary Lansing and six
Pan-American diplomats and APPROX
ed by President Wilson, probably will
go forward Saturday. 1t will be ad-
dressed to Mexican public officials
and military leaders.
The delay in forwarding the ap-
peal Is due to the fact that officials
want it to have the widest publicity
throughout Mexico and to that end
are determined, If possible, to see
that no one to whom 1t should be
sent Is omitted from list that Is be-
ing prepared. Every effort Is being
made to reach the leaders OF every
movement in Mexico, no matter how
small
While Gen. Villa has notified the
state department of his willingness
to enter a peace conference, the Vii
la agency announces Gen. Carranza' s
flat refusal to permit negotiations
between his Washington representa-
tives and those of Villa. Official op-
timism still was apparent Friday de-
spite CarranZa's attitude.

hands, and to this extent the railroad
Is secure. But not only are the Ger
mans who crossed the Vistula work
Ing their way east, but little by little
the Vfstula line to the south of War
saw Is giving way, so that each day
increases the danger.
In addition, Lukow is only fifteen
miles south OF Siedlce, which is on
the road from .Novo Minsk to War
saw. The capture of this town not
only isolates the Ivangorod garrison
but cuts the only line of retreat from
the Warsaw angle east that still re-
mains open.
1t is apparent from this, then, that
from any viewpoint the Russians in
the angle are I'm q rather desperate
plight. The mass of the Russian army
has In all probability passed beyond
tho line of danger. But there are
nevertheless a great many troops left
I'm the angle, and their loss will be a
hard blow to Russian arms.
In the other war theatres there is
but little new on which to comment.
In order to counteract to some extent
the influence on the Balkan States,
which are all in frenzy Of diplo-
matte discussion with each other as
well as with both of the belligerents,
the forces on Gallipoli have been re-
Gently materially strengthened and
the Allies offense more strongly
pushed. Additional gains have been
recorded, but they bear a striking re-
semblance to such gains AS are re-

in her participation lies the imme-
date fate Of Constantinople.
Italy has consistently maintained
her offensive, moving further up into

and In the Carnic Alps, but finds the
way to Gorzia extremely hard going.
She Is, however, taking, one after
another, all the approaches and the
heights commanding it, while her
troops are advancing over the pla-
teau. Yet the situation is not mate

American siGe were responsible for
the uprisings arounsed much resent
ment. At San Benito a mass meeting
or protest was held. On June
speakers at this meeting declared the
secretary of war had been informed
that trouble was likely to break on
the American side from this source
Fifty-one citizens representing all
political factions addressed the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated
Press Thursday night:
Statements attributed by you in
to-day's dispatches to the secretary
OF war and Gen. Funston to the eff
feet that conditions OF brigandage I'm
Cameron and Hidalgo counties are
due to any political feud are abso-
lutely without foundation. All fac
tions here are cooperating as Ameri-
can citizens to restore order and OBJ
tain absolute protection for our fam
lilies and property"
The killing Thursd ly of three Mex
lean outlaws near NJ rcedes, Hidalgo
county, Texas, and the capture OF
twenty-five of the bandits saddle
horses In the same vicinity, lead tJ
the belief that at least one OF the
gangs OF Mexican raiders has been
SCdtIeTeU.
Details OF the fighting are not
available. Federal and state Off
cials refuse to discuss the matter
further than to announce that three
Mcxicans had been killed. Except
for the fight in Hidalgo county, the
situation in the Texas border coun-
ties apparently was quiet.
News which later was confirmed
says that Texas Rangers in Hidalgo
county chased eight Mexicans who
reached the Mexican side of the Rio
Grande. Sitting on the bank of that
stream on the Mexican side, the ban
dts invited the Rangers to cross the
river. saying they were the leaders
sought by America nauthorities. Tho
Rangers withdrew. IL Is believed the
Mexicans are part Of the band which
abandoned their horses earlier In the
day and took to the brush.

SWEDEN WANTS US TO ACT
WITH HER in CABLE MATTER
In Note Desire Of Cooperation Is In.
timated But Little Chance
for Il Exists.

The government of Sweden has re-
Gently intimated a desire that the
United States join in a protest to
Great Britain against interference
with cable communications between
the western hemisphere and conti-
mental Europe.
These intimations were not In a
form that required a direct answer,
and 1t Is doubtful that such an an
swer will be given. But Washington
feels that the question answers itself
with the statement that the cables
are owned by the belligerents. 1t is
safe to say that the American note to
Great Britain on the subject of the
British blockade will make no refer
ence to interrupted cable communi-
cations.
All cables connecting with north
ern Europe pass through the British
Isles, and 1t is understood that their
ownership Is British. A British CEN
sorship OF messages passing over
them would. there: re, afford no
ground for an American protest, ex-
| cept in the unexpected contingency
OF interference with American diplo-
| matte communications. At the out
break Of the war, the loop nm Eng
land to Germany was cut, resum-
| ably by the British, and that was re-.
| garded as legitimate act of war.
For many months the United
States has been in close touch with
all the other important neutral pow
ers regarding the inconveniences i'm
posed on neutral CT Inmerce by the
British blockade. Sweden has been
more earnest than the rest In repre-
senting her displcasure at the Brit
ish course. But even Sweden has
not suggested that the United States
join in any such protest on the gen.
eral subject Of the blockade. The
United States has already protested
on that score, and the disposition OF
the smaller nations seems to be to
await the outcome of the American
negotiations.
