WASHINGTON. Aug. 12- The Pan
American appeal to all elements in
Mexico to cease lighting and join in
a movement to restore constitution
al government began to 90 forward
from the State Department tonight
The first document was dispatched
in English to Mexico City. directed
to the various Latin-American lega-
tions whose attaches viii translate
it into Spanish and deliver it to the
military leaders in that vicinity To-
morrow an appeal, in the original
Spanish will be forwarded directly
to villa. Carranza, the governors Of
states. and many other chiefs in din
erent parts of the country The text
will be made public here in a few
days
Carranza is the only chief who is
expected to oppose the movement.
In some quarters it is believed he
may respond favorably after he has
studied its friendly tone carefully.
With the appeal dispatched, the
United States will institute a friend
ly persistent effort to induce the
Mexican leaders, who have thus far
shown "a disposition to oppose the
movement, To sacrifice their personal
views to the common, Mexican inter
ests 1t is expected Carranza will
maintain his defiance, indicated in
the recent communications to his a.
hfrf SO. b Ia
that many generals and other adher-
ents can be induced to ioin the peace
convention.
It is believed here that if few OF
the Carranza generals participate in
the convention of factions, it would
not be long before the opposition to
the new government could be effect
lively checked In this connection IL
has been reported that General Hugh
Scott. chief of staff of the United
States Army is remaining at the bor-
der at the request of the State De
partment, is expected to perform
some important missionary work.
Scott knows many Mexican military
leaders personally 1t is believed he
may exert a powerful influence.
Absolutely no resistance to the
plan is expected from any source 9TH
er than Carranza villa and his ad-
herents have made 1t clear in a state
ment issued by Diaz Lombardo, the
foreign minister at Chihuahua, that
they are ready to eliminate themselv-
es for the common welfare, provided
there is no recognition Of the old Glen
tihco group and that constitutional
government be restored.
Romulo Naon, the Argentine ambas-
sador, hurried to Washington to con
fer with Lansing concerning the re.
ports circulated that there has been
a difference of opinion between the
/ State Department and the Argentine
government regarding the Mexican
peace proposals. These reports said
/ denial was made here of the state
I ment issued by the Argentine minis.
/ ter of foreign affairs that the Pan.
American conference was based on
/ assurances that any thought of armed
Intervention would be eliminated
from the plans. After the conference
Lansing declared there had been nc
/ Misunderstanding. He assured Am
bassador Naon there was no grounds
for the published statements which
aroused him.
