confidence and support in this hour
of deep international concern, and to
assure you Of their readiness to fol-
low your leadership in all matters you

and maintain the peace and welfare
of the nation and the whole people,
A sharp division of opinion mani
tested itself at the conclusion of ad-
dresses by Former Gov. William H.
Mann Of Virginia and Cows. Robert L.
Williams of Oklahoma and Moses
Alexander of Idaho. Former Gov
Alva Adams of Colorado took ad.
vantage of the opportunity of dis.
cussion afforded by this.

Mr.. Adams, said it was the people
who were demanding increased powers

legislative branch.
AT the suggestion of Former Gov
Franklin T. Fort of New Jersey, pre-.
siding, Judge James H. Fielder of New
Jersey told of the plan of the shor

Carranza Answer, Which His Agents
Say is Expected to Be Appeal for
Recognition, is at Hand.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The State
department today denied that the
United States government ever had
considered ANY particular man for
provisional president of Mexico" The
statement was prompted by inquiries
from Mexico regarding reports that
the Pan-Amcrican conferees thought
of suggesting some particular Mexican
leader to head a provisional govern
ment.
The name of Vasquez Tagle, minis
ter of justice in the Madero cabinet,
had been mentioned frequently, and
recently report had been circulated
that Gen. Obregon was being con-
Isidered.
Gen. Carranza's agents here said
tonight that their chiefs reply to the
Pan-American appeal would reach
Washington shortly. 1t is expected
to suggest prompt recognition of the
Carranza government as the surest
way of aiding Mexico.
European diplomatic agents are said
to have given encouragement to Car
ranza's representatives here. c. A.
Douglas, Carr anza's attorney, today
submitted to Sir Cecil Spring-Rice.

claims for recognition. The British
government has said that it would
follow the lead Of the United States.
Administration official are wait
ing with keen interest news of fight
ing between Carranza and Villa forces
near Monterey. On the result of this
battle the future course Of the Pam
American conferees may depend.
The Villa agency issued statement
today saying it had received details
of the fighting recently at Icamole
which show that Carranza forces suf-
fered severe defeat. The railroad
between Laredo and Monterey had
been cut, the statement added. 1.-TWO
states, Chihuahua and Morelos, are
entirely under control of the conven-
tion (Villa) forces it& continued.
ssOaxaca is neutral. Forces of both
factfohs are conteffding M an Other
states of the republic, and it is absurd

Ian Army.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The Italian
ambassador today notified the state
department. that Italy had released
from military service Uga Da Patro of
Boston, son of an Italian naturalized
in the United States. Officials regard
this as establishing an important pre-
cedent.
Da Patro was born in Boston In
1895 after his father had been natu-
rallied. but inasmuch as he and his
father had resided in Italy two years
before the beginning of the present
war the son. still minor, was pressed
into military duty on the theory that
MS father by his two-year residence
again had become an Italian subject.
The state department urged Da Pa
tros' release on the ground that the
father had returned to Italy as the
representative Of an American firm.

WON'T SEIZE NEUTRAL COTTON
ONLY THAT INIT IDED FOR EN-
ENIY DESTINATION,
British Embassy Declines to Insure
Passage of Any Particular Cargo
No Official Statement Yet.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Cotton car
goes for neutral countries will not be
confiscated under the recent decree OF
The allies declaring cotton contraband
If within the normal consumption of
those countries. This assurance was
given cotton shippers today in a state
ment issued from the British EN-
bassy.
The statement reads:
1T is misapprehension to suppose
that the declaration of cotton to be
,cOntraband will further restrict those
cOnsignments of cotton to neutral
countries which are proved to be ex-
clusively destined for the normal con-
sumption Of those countries. The emf
bassy has no authority, however, to
give any assurance as to the immu-
nifty Of particular shipments, but un-
der the procedure of international law
relating to absolute contraband, evil
dence Of ultimate enemy destination
will be necessary to the condemnation
Of cotton as lawful prize"
The declinatiOn Of the British en-
bassy to give any pledge as to what
will be done with any particular cot
ton shipment is understood to be based
upon the fact that it will be for the
home authority to determine what is
1.-THE normal consumption of the neu-
tral country to which the cotton is
consigned. Warships probably will
continue to stop cotton ships to make
sure of the neutral destination of the
cargoes and their cases may be sent
to the prize court.
No fol NAL notice has yet been
served upon the state department of
the issue Of the contraband decree,
and it is expected that the department
will take notice of it's publication in
the official journals of London, Paris
and Petrograd. Nothing has been
done yet towards preparing a protest
Iagainst the decree.
1t was indicated at the state. de-
partment today that objection would
ssbe made 70 sthe>requirement underthe
contraband order that American cot
ton shippers assume the burden of
proof that their cargoes would not
eventually reach Germany and Aus
tria, and that in amount they were
not In excess OF the normal consump-
ton of the neutral country to which
they are consigned. 1t was explained
that this same object was sought as
! to all classes of goods, including cot
ton, by the orders in council to which
the department has objected.
| This will be sought in note to
Great Britain on neutral trade now in
course of preparation.
