protection of the frontier on the other,
are the two essential problems, the
solution of which must be the directing
object of the efforts of both govern
ments.
The Mexican government is willing
to consider in a quick and practical
way and prompted by a spirit of con-
cord the remedies which should be ap
piled 10 the present situation.
Several Latin-American countries
have offered their friendly mediation
TO the Mexican government and the
latter has accepted it in principle.
Therefore, the Mexican government
only awaits information that the gov
eminent of the United States will be
disposed TO accept this mediation for
the purpose mentioned above or wheth-
er it is still of the belief that the same
results may be attained by means of
direct negotiations between botn gov
ernments.
In the meantime this government
proposes TO employ all efforts that may
be at its disposal to avoid the recur-
renee of new incidents which may COM
plicate and aggravate the situation.
At the same time il hopes that the
American government on its part may
make use of all efforts to prevent any
new acts of it's military and civil au
thorities of the frontier that might
cause new complications.
Il avail myself OF this opportunity to
reitera1e to your excellency the assar-
ance of my most distinguished eonsid-

BRITISH DECLINE
PEACE PROPOSAL
Yiscount Bryce Gives Reasons in
Speech at Luncheon Given to
Former American Official.

London, July cos p. m.)-Presid-
ing today at a luncheon given by the
pilgrims to James NJ Beck, former
assistant attorney general of the Unit
ed States, Viscoaut Bry &c SAID he had
received an address signed by some
Americans, a large proportion of
whom had come from Germany, say
ing the war must end in a draw ;
why not make peace at once and save
further blOodshed?"
ViscOunt Bryce. explaining why
neither the British nor their allies
could follow that advice, yielded to
none in his love of peace, but declared
I'VE cannot agree to any such peace
as is suggested either by those gen
tIemen or by the German govern
ment.
In the first place, We do not think
this war will be a draw We believe
the allies viii win because they will
prove to be stronger on land than the
Germans and because we hold unShak-
en- and unshakeabIe control of the
sea.
Secondly, peace cannot be made
now because the German government
is not prepared for it on any terms
we could accept
Thirdly, because peace made now
on SuCn terms as Llc German govern
ment would accept would be no per
manent peace, but mere truce.
Lastly, because we are fighting for
great principles principles vital to
the future of mankind, principles
which the GermaR government out
ragged and which pnst at all costs be
vindicated.'
Viscount Bryce said that Great Brit
ain was fighting for the deliverance of
Belgium and France and such changes
in the east as will make it impossible
for the Turkish allies Of Germany
ever again TO massacre their Chris
tian subjects"
we do not hate the German people /;
we do not wish TO break up Germany
nor destroy her national unity, nor in
fiict permanent injury upon her. What
we desire is to discredit the military
caste which delights in war"

referring to the notes of June goth

to YOUR excelIency that the immediate
