presidents of South and Central
American republics.

ply OF the allied governments to the
German peace proposals, given on Dec.
30, follows:
The allied governments of Belgium,
France. Great Britain, Italy, Japan,
Montenegro. Portugal Rumania, Rus
sia and Serbia, united for the defense
of the liberty OF their peoples, and
faithful to engagements taken not to
lay down their arms separately, have
resolved to reply collectively to the
pretended propositions of peace which
were addressed to them on behalf of
the enemy governments. through the
intermediary of the United States,
Switzerland and Holland.
Before making any reply the allied
powers desire particularly to protest
against the two essential assertions of
the note of the enemy powers, that
pretend to throw upon the allies re-
sponsibility for the war and proclaim
the victory Of the central powers.
"The allied governments cannot ad-
NIT an affirmation doubly inexact and
which suffers to render sterile all ten
tative negotiations.
The allied nations have sustained
for thirty months war they did ev-
crything to avoid. They have shown
by their acts their attachment to
peace. That attachment is as strong
today as It was in 1914
But II is not upon the word of
Germany, after the violation of en-
gagements, that the peace broken by
her may be based"
"A mere suggestion, without state
ment of terms. that negotiations should
be opened, is not an offer of peace.

government of a sham proposal lack

LEAVES WASHINGTON

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Jan. 4.-The end of all
efforts on the part of the United
States looking toward a peaceful ad-
justment of Mexican internal affairs
through diplomatic parleys with the
Carranza government. was seen here
Tuesday.
Following a session OF the Mexican
American Commission which lasted
through most of the day and did not
break up until after o'clock, Secrei
tary Lane of the American Commits
sion announced that Gen. Carranza
had definitely and finally refused to
ratify the Atlantic City protocol. He
accompanied this statement with a
copy of the protocol. which had not
hitherto been made public.
The adjournment of the parley, fol-
lowing the withdrawal of Eliseo Are
dondo. the Mexican ambassador-desig-
nate, which became known earlier in
the day, was taken in official circles
to mean that all negotiations with the
Carranza government are now closed.
Secretary Baker said no plans for
immediate withdrawal of Pershing's
troops had been considered.
Carranza's reply will not be made
public. He is understood to have
taken the position that he could not
sign the protocol because it would put
him in position of sanctioning the
presence of American troops on Mexi-
can soil.
The text of the protocol signed at
Atlantic City was made public by the
American commissioners.
ashington.-Eliseo Arredondo, the
Mexican ambassador designate. an
nounced that he had been requested
by his government to come to Mexico
City and confer with Gen. Carranza
and his advisers over relations with
the United States. He said he ex,
pected to return here in about three
weeks and to resume his duties as
diplomatic representative of the de
facto government.
When Gen. Carranza sent his recent
appeal for notifications in the proto
COL urdWn Dy tne Amerlcan-Mex1can
Commission, 1t was reported that he
would withdraw Mr.. Arredondo as a
mark OF his displeasure at the action
of the American commissioners in de-
manding final decision by Dec. 26.
Mr.. Arredondo denied then that he
was to be withdrawn and declared
that If he left Washington. it would be
to confer with his chief, as he did re-

The mining man said Gen. Murguia
has fewer men in the Chihuahua City
garrison than had been reported and
said there was strong feeling in the
capital that the Carranza commander
might be forced to evacuate the city
and come north toward the border by
