ENGLAND DON'T ACCEPT
PEACE OVERTURES

London{ n{-"The latest peace over
cures, said to be of German origin
while not as insolent and impossible
as previous statements on the same
subject, certainly do not yet offer a
basis for negotiations" said Lord
Robert Cecil, Minister of War Trade
In discussing with the Associated
Press the latest reputed German
peace terms. Lord Roberts continu
ed:
I'VE have never received, either
officially or unofficially, any direct
peace suggestions from Germany and
the only indirect overtures we are
aware of appear in the speeches of
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg
and the recent German note TO Ameri-
ca. we would not think of discussing
or even considering any overtures
without consulting our Allies. No for
NAL or informal conference for the
purpose ever has taken place.
''In diplomatic procedure, a neutral
is hardly likely to make any sugges,
tion OF peace terms unless cartain
they are acceptable to the recipient.
"If Germany should decide to ap-
proach us through the medium of the
United States. the latter would have
to use its own judgment as to wheth
er or not to deliver The request"

ENDS WITH NO DECISION
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT WILL
CONSIDER THING BUT
WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS.
Obregon Conceded Demands of Con-
ferees and is Then Forced to Re-
verse His Attitude.

Ell Paso, Texas.-After almost two
weeks OF discussion the conferees of
Generals Scott and Funston and Gen
eral Obregon, Mexican Minister of
War over American troop disposition
in Mexico came to an end without any
agreement being reached.
The matter was referred back to
the American and de facto Govern
ments to be settled through diplo-
matte channels.
With thu negotiations here ended
and the discussion reverting to Wash
ington and the direct control of Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Lansing,
more became known Of the develop
ments % the fortnight just passed. 1t
is now stated positively that the Mex
lean Government. so far as that part
represented by General Carranza is
concerned. has not for one instant
admitted the consideration of any 9TH
er subject than withdrawal.
The situation is almost exactly
where 1t stood before the conferences
began. The Mexican Government
still insists on the withdrawal of Gen
eral Pershing's columns upon GER
tain date and wants that date to come
quickly.

lIMBERK AND MECHANIC
KILLED IN BIG AUTO RACE

New York.-Carl Limberg. an auto
mobile racer, and r. Pallotti, his
mechanician, leading the field in the
fifteenth lap OF the 150-mile race for
the Metropolitan trophy wSre killed
when their machine crashed into a
guard rail on the Sheepshead Bay
track.
Limberg, who had been taking the
turns near the very top OF the high
saucer track, apparently lost control
Of his car, while rounding the bend at
a speed Of more than 100 miles an
hour Both men were catapulted 100
feet over the rail and crashed to the
ground about 80 feet below The driv-
er was impaled on an upright piece
of timber and waws killed instantly
Palotti died on the way to the Coney
Island hospital
The machine, one of three French
cars imported for the race by Harry
s. Hardness, crumpled under the i'm
pact and burst into flames. The blaz-
ing car clung to the rail as other driv.
ers flashed past without slackening
speed ignorant of the fate of their
fellow racer. A fash OF fame and a
cloud OF black smoke told the specta-
tors that an accident had happened,
but as it occurred at the far turn OF
the two-mile saucer few realized that
1t marked a tragedy.
