 HAVE BEEN INVITED

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2-The United States has decided Co ask the co-opela- tion of South and Central America in the net step to restore peace in MeXi- CO., The ambassadors of Argentine, Brazil Chile and the ministers from Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatamala have been asked to a conference with Secre- tary Lansing on Thursday.
 While the State Department charac- terized the coming conference as an informal one, the sentiment has been growing among the American officials that the next step in the Mexican sit- uation should be one which would meet the approval of the world and taken in concert with the nations of Central and South America even if in the last event. the trend should be to- ward military action.
 The State Departments aauncement tonight said: "On Thursday afternoon there will be an informal conference at the State Department to consider the Mexican situation Those taking part in the conference will be the Am | bassadors from Brazil. Argentina and ! Chile, and the three rankinging min- isters of the American republics. namely, those of Bolivia Urugay and | Guatemala As to the details which will be considered nothing can be said at the present time as the conference will be entirely confdential.'
 The three ambassadors were media tors in the Niagara conference in the summer 0f 1914 Three ministers are, . in point of seniority, at the head of the Central American legation corps The action in concert with Central and South Americas would be i'm line with . the Presidents plan for closer rela- . tionship between the United States. and those countries. It is planned to show that the United States consld- CTS the Mexican question common cause for the Pau-AmeriCan group and that this government entertains no idea of territorial aggression but 1 is acting solely as the first powerful friend and neighbor
 At this stage, however. it is not be- Heved military operations are being contemplated as the next step The South and Central Americas have been keeping closely informed on the situ1- ton In fact the Brazilian minister in Mexico City has been the source to which the United States has turned the last sixteen months for the care of interests of Americans and other
 foreigners in the distressed capital.
 II is known that if the situation
 should necessitate an armed force to
 open the railroad to Mexico City for
 the protection of legations, and non !. combatants, the occupation will be
 necessar as va prelude for the restora- ton of order and south and Central .I Americas will probably receive ard welcome the invitation to share in the , work with the United States.
 Those closest in touch with the
 Mexican question have been aware
 for some time that the views of the 3 Pan-Americas were being taken into consideration, and on various occa
 sions is the step the President and his
 cabinet had in mind when few weeks ago the statement issued to the Amer
 jean people on the Mexican situation
 and intended for the information Of
 the Mexican leaders themselves. f This statement declared, in forcefu ! language that the patience of thC $ United States was becoming exhaust - ed with the three years of revolu - ton and chaos. and that unless tht P Mexican leaders found a way to ac
 commodato the differences of tn'
 United States as to MeXico's neX
 friend and neighbor it would be con !. strained to decide what means should
 be employed to restore peace.
