READY TO CONFER REGARDING MEXICO Six Pan-Ameriean Diplomats Ar
 rive at Washington
 TO DISCUSS PEACE PLAN


 End Revolutionary Struggle ill
 Republic.
 Washington, Aug. 5.--The six Pan American diplomats invited by Presi- dent Wilson to join United States off, cials in formulating a plan for re- storing peace to Mexico arrived here today for their conference with Sec retary Lansing.
 The first result is. expected to be the ground work of an understanding for an all-American project to re-es- tablish constitutional government be- low the Rio Grande, preserve the soy- ereignty of Mexico and convince the world that the United States is act ing as Mexco's nearest and most powerful friend and neignbor in saw ing the distracted country from itself.
 President wilson's Plan.
 So far as is known the presidents plan proposes, first, cessation of warfare and esta blishment of pro- visional government by the factional leaders themselves; should that faiL the American nations would assume the task NJ
 The Villa and Carranza leaders be- gan taking steps to get their claims before the conference, through court esy of some of the Latin American participants. ss
 Carranza's stand.
 The Carranza representatives will point out that they now control the greater portion of Mexico. '
 Villa representatives propose to submit their willingness to participate in peace conferences between the fac tions and the elimination of military leaders but will oppose the recogni- ton of Carranza.
 A peace conference to be partici- pated in by all the Mexican factional leaders is the presidents first aim. This he recently asked for in a com munication to the leaders. The next and if any faction refuses, an arms embargo will follow against that fac- ton.
 N To Open Railroad.
 The presidents plan is also said to include immediate steps to open up the railroad between Vera Cruz and Mexico City for the transportation of food supplies to the starving people Of the capital. Failure of the Mex ican leaders to keep open the road. it was said, might result in joint mili- tany steps by the United States and the Latin American nations to that end. Participants in today's conference with Secretary Lansing included the ann bassadors from Brazil, Argentina and Chile, and the three ranking ministers of the American republics, namely: those of Bolivia Uruguay and Guate- mala, and Paul Fuller confidential adviser to President Wilson on Mex ican affairs.
 The despatch of battery of field artillery from Fort Sill, Okla, to Fl Paso, has aroused considerable conn., ment here. Officials, however, at tached little importance to the inci- dent saying it was desired to have the border we'll guarded in view of the recent uprisings.
 Official adyices concerning the re- ported bombardment of the Mexican border town of Nogales were lacking early today.
 Paul Hudson Released.
 Retirement of Carranza troops at tacking Nogales was officially report ed today to the war department. Their withdrawal relieves critical situation in which American troops were under orders to return the Mex ican fire in 1t fell in American ter ritory.
 State department dispatches report the release of Paul Hudson, publisher of the Mexican Herald, and his staff held prisoner in the Herald building during the last zapata occupancy of the Mexican cappital.
