Washington, June 12.-William j
Bryan last night issued an appeal ad
dressed to "The German-Americans
urging them to aid in maintaining
peace between the United States and
their fatherland by exerting their in
fluence with the German government
to persuade 1t not to take any steps
that would lead in the direction Of
war.
With this statement Mr.. Bryan OK
poets to end for the present his ef
forts to lay before the public the stu

portfolio Of secretary of state. On
Wednesday he gave out an explana'
ton of why he left the cabinet rather

Germany regarding submarine war.

to the American people" to stand
for persuasion rather than for force
in asserting rights under internation-

statement expressing qualification at
what he termed change of tone on
the part of the lingo editors" regard

to COMMUNICATIONS as fellow citi.
zens in whose patriotism have en-.

asking them to use their influence
with the German government, urged:
THAT they forget, never to be re-
called, any suspicion of lack of neu.
TALLY or friendship toward the Ger

dent of the United States.
That they should not attempt to
connect negotiations between the

That Germany should acquiesce in
demands that have been made by the
United States without condition, trust

Sends Telegram. to Carranza
Asking for a Conference
Of Mexican Factions.
IS RESULT OF WILSON'S NOTE
Washington Officials Pleased with
Latest News from Mexico-Alarm
Growing in Capital.

Washington, June 15.-The United
States formally was notified today by
General Villa on behalf of the Next
can convention forces that he had tele
graphed General Carranza urging q
conference for the restoration OF
peace and constitutional government
in Mexico.
This step is the first tangible de-
velopment resulting from President
Wilson's recent warning to all Mexi'
can factions that unless they come to
an agreement among themselves soon,
some other means will be employed
by the United States to- relieve the
suffering population from further de-
vastations by the military element.
On General Carranza.s reply depends
the next move in the situation.
Coincidentally the state department
was advised by Miss Mabel Boardman
of the American Red Cross, that the
Mexican authorities at Piedras Negras
had denied entry to carload of food
stuffs consigned for the relief of peo-
pie in Monclova. Consul Blocker is
endeavoring to use his good offices to
arrange for the transportation of the
supplies. One report says General Ro-
salio Hernandez, the Villa commander,
declared the supplies mot only are
not needed, but will not be allowed to
enter" Until Consul Blocker reports
the details, the state department will
take no further action.
Officials are Pleased.
The announcement that General VIII
la had initiated movement for peace
was received with satisfaction in Off
cial quarters. Enrique c. Llorente,
Washington representative of the
Villa-Zapata coalition, called on Secre-
tary of State Lansing, with copy of
the Villa telegram to Carranza and a
long note from General Villa replying
to President Wilson's recent pro-
nouncement of policy.
The note referred approximately
to the presidents efforts and outlined
the purposes of the Villa-Zapata lead
ers to bring about a reconciliation
with those of Carranza.
In the message to Carranza, dated
June II and sent direct from the camp
of Villa at Aguas Calientes to Car
rama at Vera Cruz, stress is laid upon
President Wilson's warning that the
United States will be 'obliged to de-
eide on other methods" should coali-
ton of the factions prove futile. The
telegram was signed by General Villa
and NJ. Diaz Lombardo, in charge of
foreign affairs of the convention gov
eminent.
Fear Grips Capital.
Official advices from Mexico City
received at the state department to-
night said growing alarm is apparent
among the civilians of the city as the
Carranza forces. which are expected
there almost any moment, approach to
attack the Villa-Zapata garrison.
The people are said to fear personal
losses, as we'll as damage to the water
and lighting facilities of the city, if
another change of control takes place.

In local Russian success, but no
claim is made that the invaders we're
pushed back across the river. A cross
ing Of the river at this place may not
be serious affair for the Russians, as
it is remote from Lemberg and an ad-
vance from it might expose the Aus
tro-German flank.
On the western front the French

formidable German positions, with
| some assistance from the Belgians,
who have thrown battalion across

of the Dixmude railway bridge they

Giornale d'Italia from Sofia says:
IN. Filipesco, leader of the Ruman-
ian conservatives, declared today that

Britain, France, Russia and italy,

Italians Push Forward.
Lugano, Switzerland, June 15.-The
Italian Eastern army, which has forced
its way across the Lower Isonzo, cap
turing 'Monfalcone, is pushing forward
along the Gulf of Trieste toward the
city of Trieste. Further progress was
made yesterday. The next immediate
objective is the town of Nabresina. on
the gulf, nine miles from Trieste.
Only 20 Miles from Rumania.
London, June 14.-Both in the Bal
tic provinces and along the Dniester
River heavy fighting continues be-
tween the Russians and Austrians and
Germans, without, however, any mate
rial change in the situation. The
movement forward and backward Of
the battle lines in the Baltic provinces
is almost continual, and each side at
various times has held the advantage.
In Galicia the scene of the fighting
has changed The Germans baked in
their effort of reach Lemberg from the
south, have commenced an attack on
the Russians and along the Dniester in
Southeastern Galicia, and in their
right they claim to have been success
full in both sectors.
The movement in the southeast re-
sembles that which failed further up

Austro-G German army is only twenty

delivered against bridgehead. The
center Of the operations is Kolomea,
from which place the main attacks,
which have carried the Teutonic Allies
across the Dniester in several places

WHAT is A BILLION?

What is billion? A billion is a
thousand millions, or a million thou
sands: it is ten times one hundred
millions, or one hundred times ten
millions. Our population is one
tenth of billion, and in hundred
years from now it should be almost
half billion.
A generation ago only the astron-
omers thought in billions. Now al
most everybody is trying to think
in billions, though it is a good deal
of strain on our thinking appar-
atus. A few years ago it began cost
ing billion dollars a year to run
our federal government. That start
ed all the politicians talking billions.
The organization of trusts brought
dizzy totals of dollars to our atten-
ton.
The gentlemen who give US our
crop figures had been toting up
into billions for some time, begin
ming with the corn crop. but no.
body paid very much attention to
them. Now our wheat crop has
got up into the billion-bushel level.
But it was the great war what
really brought the billion as billion
flocking to US and stepped US in
higher muItiplications. The allies
reached out their hands and said:
Lend us a billion" We lent them
half billion and they blew it in
overnight. The war will cost 100
billions, some say. A while ago we
should have been staggered by such
announcement. Now we shrug our
shoulders and say: "Oh, very well;
a billions only a billion. Why
worry when we grow billions of
bushels Of this and billions of bushels
of that, ard Wall Street trades in
billions of dollars worth of shares,
and congress spends a billion year
to keep the national machine oiled
up?"
Yet, as matter of fact, none of
US quite realizes what billion is.
Whenever we try to put tape
measure on it it gets awav from US.
and if we think very hard about it
it gives US headache. The Coun-
try Gentleman.
