That is the Latest Idea of
Administration Officials
at Washington
MANY GRIEVANCES
NEED SETTLEMENT
And All of Them Might be Referred
to an International Commission =
Mexican Ambassador inquiries About
Reply to Carranza Note.

WASHINGTON, June 8. - A pro-
posal to General Carranza that the
United States and the Mexico de fac
to government submit the whole sub
ject of their relations to an interna-
tional commission is being seriously
considered by the administration.
Such q proposal, if it is made, will
serve as a reply to the Mexican note
demanding withdrawal of the Ameri-
can troops, and may contemplate ad-
iustment of many unsettled differences
that for years have caused accumulat-
ing embarrassment in the relations of
the two nations. Settlement By a com
mission is provided for expressly by
the treaty of lS4s, which provides
further that ''should such a course
be proposed by either party, it shall
he acceded to bv the other unless
deemed by it altogether incompatible
with the nature of the difference or
the circumstances of the ease -
President Wilson and General Car
rama would appoint an equal number
of commissioners under the plan, and
the meeting probably would be held
somewhere outside the territory of
both countries. There was no indica-
tion today that the President, with
whom rests the final word as to
whether the proposal shall be made,
had yet reached a decision or that the
reply would go forward within the
next few days.
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambas-
sador designate, called at the State
department yesterday to seek infor-
nation as to when reply might be
expected. 1t was pointed out to him
that Secretary Lansing had been in
disposed for several days and as yet
had been unable to fully consider the
12,O00-word Mexican note in all OF
| its phases. Mr.. Arredondo gained the
| Impression, however, that there woulj
! be no undue delay. He received nc
/ inkling as to its probable nature, aside
/ from the intimation that the Washing
/ ton government s friendly attitude
toward Mexico had undergone nc
change because of the unusual charac.
| ter of General Carranza' s note.

ROOSEVELT MAY GO TO CHICAGO
IN THE ROLE OF PACIFICATOR
Republicans Might Invite Him If He Would Agree
to Declare Himself Out of Fight-G 0. P. Sub
Committee on Resolutions Rejects Suffrage
Plank Outline of Platforms

CHICAGO, June S.-The Republican
and Progressive national conventions
entered their second dag Of active work
today with the former reconvening at
IL o clock and the latter at o'elocl
central time. While the fight for su-
premacy which would bring harmony
was led without cessation by some of
the leaders, one certain clear-cut re-
suit pushed its way up through the
maze of reports, rumors and pronounce
ments. That was the fact that Justice
Hughes became stronger from hour to
hour.
The developments of the last "a
hours made it plain that neither con
vention would come to the point of
making a nomination before Friday
and it was possible that action might
be delayed beyond that time.
Meanwhile discussions of possible
peace and fusion for the two parties
assumed more concrete trend and
rumors became persistent that Roosc.
welt might come to Chicago and appear
before both conventions in the roe of
pacifcator.
Republican leaders discussed the
proposal to invite Roosevelt to Chi
eago and decided, it was said that il
the Colonel is prepared to declare him
self out of the contest for nomination
and enter into an agreement for the
selection of one of the Republican can
didates the invitation would be forth
coming.
Contrary to this view leading Pro
gressives declared that Col. Roosevelt
would be nominated by the Progressiv,
convention regardless of what wa
done by the Republicans

WILL GO TO CHICAGO.
Roosevelt Expresses Willingness to Ad-
dress Republican Convention.

OYSTER BAY, June s. - Col Roose-
publican convention desires me to ad-
dress it, This he announced today
in a reply made to an invitation he
received last night from Senator Will
liam B. Jackson of Maryland asking
him to come to Chicago.
The colonel declared in his answer
that he hoped both the Republicans
and Progressives would nominate a
man who if elected would ''pIace this
nation where it belongs by making it
true to itself and therefore true to all
mankind"
President Wilson, he said, had ''ren-
dered to this people the most evil ser
vice that can be rendered to a great
democracy Col Roosevelt declared
that the differences that have divided
not merely Republicans and Progress
sives but good Americans of all shades
of political beliefs sink into nothing
when compared with the issues now de-
manding decisions-the issues of uni
fed Americanism and national pre-
.paredness.
Col. Roosevelt further declared that
in the face of the awful world cata-
clysm this nation has stood supine
and helpless" and that "no excuse
now made by those responsible for this
inaction is entitled to serious consider
alton. 1t is for YOU and your associates
to show the people that they have a
worthy alternative to which to turn. -
Can we not" he asked, ''forget-
ing past differences, now join for the
safety and honor of our country to en-
force the policy Of genuine American
ism and genuine preparedness. -
