NO IDEA OF
MEDIATION
Pan-American Efforts Not
Considered Seriously
by President
BUT DIPLOMATS
WILL CONFER
No Attempt to Close Door
Absolutely to Possible
Settlement Later

Washington, June 27.-No mediation
at this time in the Mexican affair is I'M
derstood to be the latest decision of
President Wilson. While administration
officials are inclined to express no opinion
on the offers of mediation from Latin
governments, they do not wish to close
the door absolutely to possible settlement
at later date of the disputes between
this government and the Carranza gov
eminent by means of mediation.
The president takes the position that
the situation has gotten out of Carran-
za's hands and that any intimation that
the United States is willing to bargain
with him pending reply to this govern
ment's recent notes is impossible.
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador
designate, has notified Minister Calderon,
the minister from Bolivia and DR.. Rafael
Zaldivar, the minister from Salvador,
that while he has not received a final
reply to the inquiry regarding the atti-
tude of Mexico, which they submitted to
the de facto government through him, a
preliminary expression has come from
his government accepting lin principle"
the offer of mediation. He said General
Carranza, in reply to similar inquiries
submitted by Latin. American diplomats
at Mexico City, had informed the gov
ernments in question that he would be
pleased to accept their offers"
The Latin American diplomats working |
to achieve mediation are described by
one of their number az prompted by a |
dual motive, namely, to prevent the out
break OF hostilities at this time and If |
possible to make arrangements which /
will insure peace for the future. IT was
not disclosed by what method II il hoped I
the last named plan can be realized.

ALLIES BEGIN
OFFENSIVE
Long Expected Drive Is at
Hand, London Be-
lieves
ITALIANS SMASH
AUSTRIAN FRONT
While British Guns Prelude
Attack in France to
Aid Russians

London, June 27.--Every, surface indl-
cation yesterday pointed to the beginning
of the long expected offensive of the allies
on all fronts.
Breaking out with a terrific dash
against the Austrian front, the Italians
drove the Austrians back Sunday on a
front OF more than Is miles. They re-
captured seven positions taken by the
Anstrians in their recent drive in the
Trentino, including the row of strongly
fortified works resting upon Asiago. Gen.
Cadorna is reported to be driving home
this new offensive with great power.
At practically the same hour that the
Italian rush began British artillery broke
loose with a battering attack against
German trenches from the La Bassee ca
nal southwark to the Somme. Both the
British and German official statements
comment on the violence Of this attack
which in certain sectors approached the
intensity OF the drum fire that precedes
an infantry blow. Thus far no word has
reached London of the beginning OF the
expected British infantry attack.
Dispatches from Berlin. reported that
the Russians, instead Of being disheart
ened by their temporary check in Vol
hynia, are bringing immense numbers OF
reserves into action and have renewed
their vigorous attempts to reach kovel.
In the southeast the Slavs have cleared
Bukovna of the enemy and are entering
the passes of the Carpathians. German
correspondents emphasize the fiery char
scter of the Russian attacks and the in
exhaustible supplies of men and NUM-
tions, as if to prepare their readers for
further Russian successes.
Reports that Rumania is displaying
military activity, coming from German
sources Yesterday, comedies with other
dispatches that the pro-ally party at
Bucharest is urging Rumania's entrance
into the war
The greatest battle OF the present Sc
ries on the Russian front is developing
in the so-oalled Lutsk salient. accordingly
to the latest dispatches from Petrograd.
The new places named in the official
communications would appear to indicate
that the Germans have made slight I'M
preston on the salient already. The key
10 the whole situation is the kovel june
ton, and gigantic efforts are being made |
by the Germans to safeguard this vital
point. They are massing every available |
unit there to counter the Russian thrust. |
On the direct road at Syidniki the Rus
slams are within 81 miles of the junction |
but for 10 days they have been held at |
that position. The Germans have made |
even greater efforts TO check an indirect |
a pproach to Kovel by the southern flank,
where, for the past week the issue has
hung in the balance at Lokatchi, the apex
OF the whole salient. The Russians are
no longer at Lokatehi, the Germans hav
ing forced them back from three to six
miles on both sides Of the road which
leads to Vladimir Volynski. The Rus
slams, according to still later accounts,
have won back some Of this ground.

MARRIED MEN ARE
BIGGER BOOZERS
THAN BACHELORS

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 13.--Discussing
Married Men and the Saloon" the
Federal Council Of the Churches 0f
Christ in America commission says:
1T is a striking fact that married
men spend more time in the saloon
than single men. This is somewhat
startling, because married life Is sup
posed to have a SOLDERING effect upon
man. Can it be that in many Of
these cases the home has failed to
perform its function? For let II be
said with all the emphasis possible.
that in the last analysis the home
must be the best substitute for the sa-
loon. 1t is very generally true that
men do not do their part in making
the home it should be from the social
standpoint; and perhaps too much
has been said about wives falling 70
make themselves and their homes
more attractive. thus driving their
poor husbands to drink: but the fact
remains that a careful student Of the
subject revealed that about twice a.
many married men go to the saloon as
do single men. This may be due b
the highed idealism of the younger
men, and it may also be attributed to
the fact that they spend great deal
more time in the company OF their
sweethearts who naturally would not
visit the saloon with them. Perhaps
no satisfactory solution may be found
of this particular aspect OF the prom.
lem until in some way Il becomes pos
sible to provide more cheerful homes
for working people in point OF venti-
lation. light. space and general out
look. This condition must be met b.
men and women az large social con.
ceptions. It may be taken up BY the
or the State-somebody
must do 1t. for II Is unfair and short.
sighted to charge up TO married men
and women social sins and omissions
for which they are only in part re-
sponsible"

ACCUSED CANNOT
PICK HIS COURT
Supreme Court Also Declares No
Facts 10 Prove Prejudice on Part
Of Justice Parkes We're Established
in Suit Of Mayor Best.

THE law does not vest in the ac-
cused the discretion OF selecting the
court In which he will be tried says
the opinion Of the supreme court in
upholding Circuit Judge Phelps re-
fusal to issue a writ of mandamus to
compel Justice of the Peace Parkes to
grant Mayor Best a change Of venue.
Mayor Best asked that his case be
transferred to another court for trial
on the grounds that Judge Parkes is
so prejudiced against him that fair
and impartial trial could not be had
before him. Such prejudice the law
makes as grounds for a change of
venue, but, in its opinion, the supreme
court in substance holds that the pre-
judice must be clearly shown to ex-
ist. The only thing in the record be-
fore the court to show that Judge
Pafkes is prejudiced against Mayor
Best is the mayors allegation that
said prejudice does exist. mo facts
are stated the opinion states. "by
which an impartial judge could reach
the same conclusion. If such an al
legation were all that the law required
it would be an easy thing for any ac-
cused person to choose the court in
which ne w0nld stand trial.
I'm the very nature Of things" the
opinion reads, the judge (Parkes) is
called upon to determine his own bias
on the one hand or his freedom from
partiality on the other. Before his
decision can be disturbed by manda-
mus. sufficient must appear the show
ing made before him and reproduced
before the court issuing the writ
whereby the latter tribunal can de-
termine as a matter Of law that the
justice is indeed prejudiced within the
meaning and extent of the statute. To
hold otherwise would be to substitute
the interested judgment of a litigant
for the judicial function of an Off
GER The law does not vest in the ac-
cused the discretion of selecting the
court in which he will be tried, yet he
could enforce that as a principle IL it
were sufficient for him barely to say
that the judicial officer is preiudiced
against him"
Copies of the opinion were received
this morning by the attorneys inter-
ested. A certain time must elapse
before a mandate is made during
which time the mayor has the privi-
lege of asking for writ Of review
In any event it is very probable that
the trial of the mayor will not be ses
for date prior to Jan, which means
that R. l. Keator the district attor-
Rey-elect. will probably handle the
case for the state.

made by more than 100 prohibition
workers from all parts of the state at
a meeting held in the Young Mems
Christian association building today
