A8KS FOR PEACE PARLEY THEN

MINISTER
HIS ACTIONS PUZZLE WILSON
Pan-American Conference to Continue
Efforts to Formulate a
Plan To Bring
Peace
Washington — Developments of first
Importance brought the Mexican situ-
ation Into a position regarded by Amer-
ican officials as more encouraging than
for many months
General Carranza in a brief filed In
his behalf with Secretary Lansing
practically asking recognition receded
from his refusal to join his adversaries
In a peace conference and virtually
proposed Buch a meeting General Vil-
la was at once notified by his Wash-
ington agents and an early response
is expected
The hopes aroused by the Carranza
brief were soon upset however by
reports from Mexico City that Dr
Juan J Ortega the Guatemalan min-
ister there had been been given bis
passports by Carranza and ordered to
leave the country within twenty-four
hours Inasmuch as Guatemala is rep-
resented in the Latin-American con-
ference Carranza's drastic action is
regarded here as Indicating a disposi-
tion of unfriendliness toward the con-
ference Ortega’s forced departure from Mex-
ico together with the departure of M
Cardosa the Brazilian minister at Mex-
ico City will leave in the Mexican cap-
ital no diplomatic representatives of
any of the seven nations participating
In the Mexican conference Dr Orte-
gas it is stated here has not been on
good terms with General Carranza for
some time
The attitude of the United States
outlined officially for the first time
since the Pan-American conference
was called made clear that it considers
the purposes of the Mexican revolu-
tion were accomplished when Huerta
was deposed that all the fighting since
has been over factloual differences
that neither Carranza nor Yiila con-
trols Mexico to an extent which en-
titles either to recognition although
it is admitted both must be taken Into
consideration and that the first prob-
lem to be solved Is to find a man for
provisional president who represents
the cause of the original revolution
against Huerta but who is not neces-
sarily identified with any of the war-
ring factions
While steps are proceeding to bring
about negotiations between Carranza
and Villa efforts to shape the situation
to conform with the views of the
United States so they may again be dis-
cussed at the next session of the Pan-
American conference in New York
Troops In Border Warfare
Harlingen Texas — Five American
ranchmen were wounded two seriously
and several Mexican outlaws reported
killed and wounded In a fight between
Texas rangers and ranchmen and Mex-
ican bandits at Norias ranch ten miles
north of Lyford Cameron county
Texas The number of casualties to
the Mexicans It was said would not
be large owing to the darkness
Fourteen ranchmen barricaded them-
selves in the house and defended the
place until 10 o'clock when the Mexi-
cans withdrew temporarily Shortly
after the bandits had withdrawn six-
teen Texas rangers and armed civilians
arrived
At 10:30 the report says the Mex-
icans returned and again charged the
house and were met with a volley of
shots from the rangers The Mexicans
apparently were unaware of the ar-
rival of the rangers and armed citizens
and again withdrew
A special train left Harlingen car-
rying thirty -five United States soldiers
and twenty-five armed citizens to re-
inforce the Americans cn the Norias
ranch
Passenger trains are running
through tbe district without lights

BOBO DISARMS HIS SOLDIERS
HAITIEN REVOLT COMES
SUDDEN END
TO A
Congress To Select New President—
U S Will Probably Exercise
Protectorate
Washington — Encouraging reports
on conditions in Haiti came from Rear
Admiral Caperton With American
marines and bluejackets controlling
the principal towns navai officers ad-
ministering the customs houses and
revolutionary leaders giving assur-
ances of co-operation officials here
were hopeful for rapid progress toward
restoring a permanent native govern-
ment General Bobo the northern revolu-
tionist has arrived at Port Au Prince
renounce his pretentions to executive
power and ordered his soldiers dis-
armed and went home He has assured
Admiral Caperton he W'ill cooperate
in efforts to restore order Bobo is a
candidate for the presidency but has
agreed to abide by the choice of con-
gress Similar assurances have been
given by Bourand another presidential
aspirant
When the election shall be held has
not been determined but the United
Sttes will require that complete tran-
quility prevail before any step is taken
Secretary Lansing explained the oc-
cupation of Haiti’s custom houses
The custom houses are being super-
vised by American authority" he said
because a state of anarchy exists in
the country It Is necessary that we
should see to it that the customs reve-
nues do not go where they do not be-
long” No decision has been reached by this
government as to representations to be
made at Haiti Nothing will be done
until a new government is established
Then an understanding will be sought
to assure continuation of peace This
will necessitate adjustment of the fi-
nancial affairs of the republic and the
United States hopes to see a govern
ment established which will accept a
treaty whereby the United States could
guarantee the administration of the
Haitlen government
In this connection there are many in-
ternational claims to be satisfied as
was the case in San Domingo when this
government undertook collection of the
customs and proper segregation of the
revenues to apply on foreign obliga-
tions GERMAN SWEEP STILL CONTINUES
Warsaw Salient Practically All Evacu-
ated By Russians
London — While the Austro-German
armies make continual progress in
their campaign against the Russians
the conflict on the western front has
taken on new impetus Sir John French
commander of the British expedition-
ary force reporting a fierce artillery
engagement in which the British and
French captured trenches at Hooge
along the front of 1299 yards
The occupation of Praga reported
by Berlin brings to a dramatic climax
the first phase of the drive at the Po-
lijj capital and the region of eastern
Poland of which Warsaw is the dom-
inating center Praga Is essentially a
part of the capital with great railway
stations on the roads running to Petro-
grad and Moscow Few details have
been received of Grand Duke Nicholas’
final stand at Praga but the Indications
are that the withdrawal of the Rus-
sians became imperative to escape
from the German lines gradually draw-
ing together in their rear
Besides this enveloping movement
immediately to the east of Warsaw
Berlin reports a steady hammering at
the great Russian fortresses of Kovno
and Lomza the chief significance of
which Is their proximity to the lines of
railway communications to Petrograd
Novogeorgievsk is the only place west
of Warsaw at which a Russian garrison
remains and Its fall seems Imminent
The attitude of the Poles toward the
new German regime is arousing a deep
interest as the occupation of Warsaw
unites for the first time the three
branches of the Poles heretofore di-
vided among Russia Germany and Aus-
tria Under the Russian regime Po-
land has been a hotbed of disorder and
It remains to be Been whether control
of this occupied territory will be as
difficult a problem for Germany as it
has been for Russia
The commander or another Eritlsh
submarine whose name has not yet
been disclosed distinguished himself
by sinking the Turkish battleship
Kbeyr-Ed-Dln-Barbarosa
Russia having rejected what in Eng-
land is regarded as a bona fide pro-
posal made by the German emperor
for peace with a part of Poland traded
for Galicia the great struggle in the
east must continue and as there Is no
Indication of an immediate general of-
fensive by either side in the west the
struggle of the Russian forces to shake
themselves free of the Austro-German
grip remains the feature of the war
The Gall! poll field will be closely
watched because of Its possibile bear-
ing on tbe Balkan situation again sim-
mering by reason of renewed quad-
ruple entente pressure on Bulgaria and
Greece Never has the Importance of
tbe operations at the Dardanelles been
more keenly realized In Great Britain
and France than now especially as
there are many Indications that Ger-
many plans to deliver her next hard
blow against Serbia In order to link
up with Turkey and thus checkmate
the spring plans of tbe entente allied
powers

RAS RETREATING SLAVS
RIGA TO BE EVACUATED NEXT
Advancing Austro-Germans May Sue
round New Positions Before Re-
tiring Forces of the Czar
Reach Them
London — Ths Germans are In pos-
session of Warsaw capital of Poland
and third largest city In the Russian
empire Bavarian troops entered the
city having taken successively the
Blonie lines and the outer and inner
fortresses of the city itself the Rus-
sians fighting only rear guard actions
to allow their main army to make good
its escape
While to the Bavarians commanded
by Prince Leopold has fallen the hon-
or of taking over Warsaw in the name
of the German emperor and his con-
sort who are expected to make a
state entry within a few days the real
conquerors are the troops fighting un-
der Field Marshal von Hindenburg
aldhg the Narew river to the north-
east to the Austro-Germans who
crossed the Vistula south of the city
and to the armies of the Austrian Arch
Duke Joseph Ferdinand and the Ger-
man Field Marshal von Mackensen
which are advancing northward be-
tween the Vistula and Bug rivers
Riga To Be Evacuated
The Russians also are preparing to
evacuate Riga the port on the gulf of
that name In the north The arrival of
the Germans ten miles south of that
city already has been the cause of the
civilian population departing
The Russians are fighting desperate-
ly and stubbornly to check the prog-
ress of these four armies and have had
Prince Leopold
several successes Inflicting heavy loss-
es on their pursuers but they are be-
ing steadily pressed back which made
the longer occupation of the Warsaw
Polish salient an arduous undertaking
Even now although the steadiness of
the Russian troops and their fierce
counter-attacks have gained much val-
uable time for them it la problematical
whether the whole Russian army will
succeed in reaching the new positions
chosen for it or whether if It should
get there it will not find those positions
turned by the Austrians who have
crossed the Bug southeast of Chelra
and the Germans under Generals Von
Schloz and Von Gallwltz who have
crossed tbe Narew
Threatened From Northeast
At the northeastern end of the line
the Russian communications are fur-
ther threatened by General Von Hue-
low who Is advancing toward Dvinsk
on the Vilna-Petrograd railway In-
deed the Austro-Germans have set
three traps to catch and destroy the
Russian army None of tlit-m was
sprung but one was so near to closing
that Grand Nicholas was forced to
evacuate Warsaw and now is fighting
with all his might to prevent the others
from cutting off his retreat
Thus far he seemingly has been suc-
cessful for although the Germans
claim the capture of a large number of
prisoners tbe aggregate la small when
compared with the immense forces en-
gaged In addition the Russian guns
apparently are well on their way to the
rear From refugees who left Warsaw
some days ago and have arrived at
Moscow It has been learned that Wan-
saw even at that early date bad been
denuded of virtually everything that
might be useful to tbe Teutons Fac-
tories bad been stripped of tbelr ma-
chinery and all war stores moved into
the interior of Russia
Since early In Msy when they started
their great counter offensive In west-
ern Galicia against the Russians who
were deboacblng through the Carpa-
thians onto tks plains of Hungary tbe
troops of tbe Germanic powers bare
cleared the Russians oat of Galicia
with tbe exception of a narrow strip
of territory In tbe southwest bsve re-
captured Przemysl and Lemberg have
taken Lublin Cbelm and Warsaw and
are In military occupation of virtually
the whole of Poland and surround rg
districts
3 ENGLISH WARSHIPS SUNK
ANOTHER SEVERE BLOW TO
ROYAL NAVY
Renewed Effort Being Made to Force
Turkish Positions In
Dardanelles
Berlin — The British auxiliary cruis-
er Indian of 7900 tons -has been
torpedoed off the Swedish coast
Eighty members of the crew were
saved The India was attacked by a
point north of Bodge when entering
Restfjord The Rescued men were
picked up by the Swedish steamer
Goesteland The India belonged to
Peninsular ft Oriental line and was
built In 1896
London — The British torpedo boat
destroyer Lynx was sunk as the re-
sult of striking a mine The Lynx
was sunk in the North sea on Au-
gust 9 four officers and twenty-two
men of the crew were saved The
Lynx carried three 4-lnch guns and
wa3 equipped with four 21-inch tor-
pedo tubes Her complement In nor-
mal times consisted of 100 officers and
men
Constantinople — A submarine of the
entente allies was sunk near Bulair
by a Turkish aeroplane which threw
bombs upon the craft All the crew
was lost
Activity In the Dardanelles
London — The commencement of new
and greater efforts to force the Dar-
danelles and thus bring succor to the
Russians who still are being hard
pressed by the Austro-Germans In
eastern Poland and the Baltic prov-
inces and at the same time to influence
the Balkan states together with a
Zeppelin raid on the east coast of Eng-
land in which fourteen persons were
killed and fourteen wounded are the
features of the war news
For some time the news from the
Dardanelea from the British stand-
point has been more cheerful While
no details of the operations there
have been given out the public has
been allowed to learn that the hope
for a successful issue in the fighting
on the Turkish peninsula was brighter
The renewed attempt against tbe
Turkish positions which is in full
swing seems to be a concerted one
Attacks are being made at the tip
of the peninsula along the Krithla
road where a gain of 200 yards on a
front of 300 yards has been made and
at Saribar where an important crest
has been occupied according to Gen-
eral Sir Ian Hamilton commander in
chief of the British expedition
The forcing of the Dardanelles Is
considered by the military critics here
to be of the greatest importance for
they assert it is the only way that the
allies can render immediate aid ta
Russia and pay her for the great sac-
rifices she has made for the common
cause
U S WILL ACCEPT PAYMENT
But No Treaty Righta With Germany
Waived In Frye Caee
Washington — The American reply
to tbe last German note regarding
the sinking of the American vesel Wm
P Frye has been cabled to Berlin
While the original position of ths
state department that the Prussian-
American treaty of 1828 was violated
by the destruction of the vesel is re-
affirmed it is understood that the
United States is now to agree to ac-
cept payment for the Frye under the
conditions suggested in tbe last Ger-
man note obviating any appeal to
arbitration at The Hague Germany
stipulates that payment shall not in-
volve admission of a treaty violation
the American Dote is said to stipulate
that no treaty righta are waived by
tbe aceptance The amount to be
paid will be fixed by two commis-
sioners one appointed by each govern-

Ollton— With the Paden well re-
moved from the danger zone as a pos-
sible menace the eyes of the produc-
ers are anxiously turned to other fields
which show Indications of possibly
springing a gusher well a contingency
to be guarded against if possible as
It Is believed that tbe ground gained
by the announced rise of 15 cants in
the price of Cushing crude would be
lost If a big well was to be brought In
It the situation is left as it Ib at pres-
ent with Cushing production claimed
to be down below 200000 barrels daily
the prediction which was made that If
the Paden well doesn’t come In big
Cushing crude will advance to 75 cents
a barrel within a month may turn out
to be a true prophecy is the general
belief
There is a question as to whether tbe
practical failure of tbe Paden well was
directly responsible for the boosting of
the price of Cushing crude to 55 cents
a barrel a a it is just possible that the
lacrease was coming anyway and was
sprung at what might be chosen to be
termed the psychological momenL
But the hearts of the producers are
gladdened at the first two increases in
price in Cushing crude and they are
not disposed to question too closely
the causes leading up to such a con-
summation Rather the producers are
willing to accept the gifts of the gods
as they are offered without question
and with the feeling of thankfulness
and reaction which naturally comes
after they bad struggled along since
February of this year when Cushing
reached the bottom of the long slide
and rested at 40 cents a barrel
