REPORT ADRIATIC SUNK
Unconfrmed Rumor Says Ship Has
Been Torpedoed.

Unconfirmed Rumor Says Ship Has
Been Torpedoed.
New York, Aug. IA rumor that
the steamship Adriatic, due at Liver
pool this evening, had been tor
pedoed by a German submarine, was
circulated here yesterday and today.
The story was telephoned to the
various news agencies and the impress
sion was intensified by frequent calls
on the wire by various persons asking
if it were true that the ship had been
destroyed.
Diligent inquiry failed to discover
who was the author of the rumor.
The White Star line people had not
heard word of her.
The Adriatic left New York late
last Wednesday, six hours behind
time, owing to the delay in getting
aboard of her the enormous amount
of ammunition and other war supplies
with which she was loaded.

ANOTHER APPEAL TO MEXICO
Conferees In New York Agree upon
Form of Note.

New York, Aug. 12.-More details
of the administration plan to bring
about peace in Mexico have been
worked out. Secretary of State Ian
sing and the representatives of six
Latin-American countries in confer
ence in the Hotel Biltmore agreed
upon the wording of an appeal to be
sent to the warning factions in Mex
leo, urging them to meet, compose
their differences, decide upon a form
of government and elect a provisional
president.
The diplomats agreed also on "the
form Of recognition" which they would
recommend to their respective gov
ernments with reference to the new
government which they hope to see
established in Mexico.
That they should have worked out
so carefully this piece of diplomatic
machinery, it was pointed out, may be
taken to suggest one of Two things.
First, either the diplomats are conf
dent that the various factions in thu
country south of the Rio Grande vii.
ASICh " IhS dppSd1 VI the lSduIlS
countries of the western hemisphere
Secondly, it may mean that the diplL
mats have agreed, in the event thai
any one faction refuses to join
peace conference, to recognize the
work that may result from the gath
ering together of the other factions.
1t was learned also that the cor
ferees in this session, which lasted
for almost three hours. discussed the
guarantees that the man who should
be selected as provisional president
of Mexico must give n regard to
working out the economic, social and
political problems that now confront
the pauperized country. 1t was denied
that the name of any man was dis
cussed at the meeting or that the
question of the financing of a new
Mexican government came up.

Traps I'm French.

A frequent trap in French for the
unwary is the difference of meaning in
similar phrases. For example, ''faire
feu" means to fire a gun, while ''faire
du feu" means to light fire; ''tomber
par terre" conveys the idea Of falling
to the ground from ones own height,
whereas ''tomber a terre" means to fall
from any height-in other words. to
tumble down and to tumble of. In
the same way ''traiter de fat" means
to call man a fop and ''traiter en- roi''
TO treat him like king.
The English bore may be expressed
in two ways-'~un raseur" gives the
idea Of an active bore and 'une bas-
stnoire" Of a passive bore. - London

Washington, Aug. 12.-General Car

to any plan for the restoration Of
peace in Mexico devised by the Pan
American conference that would tend
to defeat the aim of the constitutions

In a communication addressed to
Secretary Lansing, Carranza, speak

has made it plain that he will not
tolerate interference by this govern

in the internal affairs of Mexico. OF
f1cials here believe that Carranza will
fight rather than assent to the estab-

other than the one that he leads.

Pan-American conference and was
taken as plainly signifying he would
not agree with its action toward Mex

Carranza's communication, deliv-

United States in its effort to bring all

yesterday afternoon on the occasion
OF Mr., MacKaye's first appearances in
this city as reader and interpreter of
his own works. Mr.. Churchill! appeared
as sponsor for Mr.. Mackaye. and made
a speech Of introduction. in which he
told the audience something about the
young poet and essayist who has
written several of the big America n
pageants, and is trying to increase the
interest throughout the country in the
poetry of the drama.
Mr.. Mackaye devoted his attention to
some OF his lesser known works, his de
sire being. he said, to acquaint his
audience with some characters and in
cidents which he believed he had pre
sented in better form than in the more
familiar of his poems and plnys. He
called them Fantasies" Thex dealt
largely with New England life. the
fisher-fclk, and the Canadian border
country. He also read from a few OF
his poems.
