TO SOLVE MEXICAN PROBLEM
Conferees Representing North and
South America Agree Upon
Plan to Bring Peace.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Powers of
North and South America already
have agreed upon a definite plan for
dealing with the Mexican problem and
when the Pan American conference is
resumed in New York the program
will be formally ratified.
It has been reported to President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing that
only the fear of reprisals by the
military cheiftains has kept the peo-
pie in subsection while the country
has been impoverished by the battles
of relatively small forces Of armed
men.
Reaching their conclusions on these
points the Pan-American conferees
are understood to have determined to
present the situation to all of the
various elements in Mexico, address
ing directly not only to General Car
rama, Villa and Zapata but the gov
errors Of state, all military leaders
with any considerable following, and
other influential men, urging them to
come together for a caucus at which
a substantial provisional government
might be formed.

removal of factories from Warsaw.
Berlin reports a council to be held
on Sunday will formulate a procla-
nation declaring Poland to be semi
autonomous state under joint Polish
and AustrO-Hungarian rule. This
conforms with a recent decision Of a
Polish congress held at Piotrkow,
Russian Poland, which proposed q
joint Polish and Austro-Hungarian
rule with separate Polish army and
the fullest Polish autonomy.
Influence On Fighting.
British critics conceded that the
fall Of Warsaw will have a tremen-
dous influence on the next six
months fighting in Europe and pcs.
sibly upon the political fortunes Of
the Allies.
Capture Of Warsaw will release
100000 Autro-Germans for opera
tons elsewhere. 1t makes it pos
sible for the Austro-Germans to hold
the Vistula line with a minimum Of
men against any offensive blow the
Russians may be expected to deliver
for many months.
1t is possible that the Germans will
renew the offensive against Paris at
once, or hurl all available forces
against the Anglo-French lines in an
effort to reach Calais. Other critics
suggested that the kaiser will now
join Austria in a determined attempt
to march down the Alps into North
ern Italy, or completely to crush
Serbia.
