By ROBERT J. BENDER.

WASHINGTON. Nov 2O.-The ad-
ministration will stand for but little
further "manana" delay from the
Mexican side OF the Atlantic City peace
conference. It's patience is at the
breaking point and the next few days
may bring portentious developments.
The Mexicans will be told omphati-
cally in language stripped Of all diplo-
macy, that the United States cannot sit
in the peace sessions If dilatOry, OBJ
structive tactics are continued. BY
such means, the administration hopes
to force a peaceful agreement on vexa-
tious problems between the two ma
tions. The border patrol plan is but
part of what this government hopes TO
accomplish. Primarily. however pro-
lection and safety of American rights
and property in Mexico is the big
problem.
And, if these rights are not obtained
satisfactorily and a border patrol plan
erected. new steps will be taken.
The United Press learned these
facts from a trustworthy source TO-
dav. What the alternative course is,

freely predicted by those close to

among the cOlored people are de-
mOralizing and deplOrable, and start
cd a movement looking to the correc-
ton Of these conditions. DR.. Hemsley
stated that he was glad to find that

anxious to lend their help in making

DR. Hemsley. who is temperance

Army Just Now Concen-
trateS All It's Efforts
Towards Winning War
REPORT AGAIN SAYS
WILSON WILL ACT
By CARL W. ACKERMAN.

0IlAtu iItcN 0AdU Correspondents
BERLIN. Nov 20.-The German
public regards skeptically so far as
immediate action is concerned. Wash
ington reports via Switzerland and
London. that President Wilson may
soon take some kind Of step for peace.
The government itself is having moth
ing to do with the peace talk. nor is
the army. The army is concentrating
its efforts toward winning. The gen
eral attitude toward American Am
bassador Gerard is changing. He will
probably find himself more popular
when he returns than he was six
months ago. There is a seemingly
well-founded report here that before
Gerard departed, officials asked him
10 return, even in the event OF Presi-
dent Wilson's defeat and to remain as
long as possible.
But as far as the general public is
concerned, the reports Of peace steps
are causing universal discussion.
The growth of sentiment for an in
temational agreement TO prevent
other wars is evidenced by efforts OF
German newspapers to obtain from
Isaac Wolf. president Of the Ameri-
can Chamber Of Commerce. informa-
tion and ideas as 10 the American
League to Enforce Peace.
The newspaper Germania and it's
sister conservative organ. the Tages-
zeitung both say that Wilson should
make peace-but these views hardly
represent public sentiment or the Of
fetal viewpoint.
The Germania article declared that
If Sir Edward Grey. for England,
Chancellor -Hollweg, for
Germany. and President Wilson really
want universal peace after the war,
now is the time TO get together.
With all this discussion of peace
Germany is a unit in casting aside
any fears for defeat. Everyone de-
clares there is still Considerable
punch left-snd the success Of the
| Rumanian offensive and the German
lU-boat cruiser warfare is particular,
