Conllniicd from rase One
ernmont In Mexico City, many onicluls
nciicvo, tne united states win no aimosi
forced to recognise hlnj. Thnt the con
stltutlonnllnt leader Is seriously Interfer
ing with Lansing's plans was freely ad
mitted. It was thought probable that ha
causo of Carrnnsn's proposed action tho
Lntln-Arnericnn .diplomats may want to
delay adoption or any dennito progrmi.
CAItnANKA SKNDS FOOD.
Sllllman'n report ridded thnt regular
train service botwoon Vera Cruz and
Mexico City has been established; food
trains are being rushed to the capital
nnd the food Is being distributed under
tho direction of Corrnnsn's ameers.
Carrnnia has ro-estnbtlshcd n civil gov
ernment. Virtually all of the business
houses In the city havo roopened. Every
thing Is moving along In order, Sllllman
said.
If yesterdny's reported capture of Snl-
tlllo by uarransistns is true, auumnn in
formed tho Stnto Department, direct
communication between Laredo, Tex., nnd
Mexico City can be established tnilckly.
Later tho Stato Department received a
routlno message direct from tho Bra
slllnn Ambassador nt Moxico City, show
ing thnt communication that way had
been restored.
Prepared to force through n program
on which all could agree, to solve tho
Mexican problem, tho Latln-Amerlcun
diplomats reassembled with Secretary of
State Lansing this afternoon.
When tho conferenco was resumed It
was understood that the original plan to
ctvo tho factions one last chance to agree
on a peace program would bo carried out
Unless Carrnnxa's increased activity and
apparent success might advlsa a dlrferont
policy. What tho noxt step would bo
was a matter In great doubt.
DIPLOMATS CniTICISE U. S.
Tho South American diplomats, although
strictly observing the Injunction not to
discuss the conference, admitted they
were a trlflo dissatisfied with tho United
Stntes' failure to prosent a concrcto pro
gram for their Indorsement. Thoy de
clared that Inasmuch ns tho United
States had acted on Its own Initiative, It
should havo had a dcflnltc plan to con
sider rather than to place Latln-Amorica
In tho position of seeming to dictate a '
"get-together" program.
Carranxa's agency continued to Issuo
statement after statement in the Consti
tutionalist chiefs behalf. His advisers
seem to think the time opportune to place
him before- the United States and bid
strongly for recognition.
Secretary Lanqlng enld today that Car
ranxa has never notified tho United
Stntes, or any one else, so far as ho
knew, that a member of the Mndero
Cabinet, would be unacceptable to him.
Carrnnxa, Lansln? stated, has not re
fused to send n roprcsontatlve to a peaco
conference. No word' nt all, so tar as the
Secretary knew, has been received from
the Constitutionalist leader.
TUT TO AWE FACTIONS.
One report In circulation thin nftnrnann
when the conference opened wnB that a
big military demonstration la planned by
the United States along the Moxlcnn bor
der to back up whatever policy Is
adopted. This, It wns said. Is expected to
awe the Mexican factlona Into getting to
gether. LANSING SEES SCOTT.
General Scott, chief of staff of the
army, may bo sent to the Mexican hor-
der nt once to prevent a possible Berles
of depredations by General Villa. This
belief gained credence today when Gen
eral Scott held n long conference with
Secretary of State Lansing, Neither
wuiuu uiscubb ineir tain,
That ofnclala fear a Villa rampage
has been known for several days. It Is
felt that tho rebel leader, realising he Is
to be crushed, and blaming the United
States for falling to recognize him, may
take revenge by "shooting up" several
towns along the border.
General Scott Is a warm personal
friend of Villa. Department officials be
lieve Scott can exercise enough Influence
over the rebel chieftain to keep him from
breaking over the traces.
Secretary Lansing declined to discuss
the report. lie did say. however, that It
waa not planned to send any more troops I
10 me uoraer. ne saw ne believed the
forces now there could cope with any sit
uation that might arise.
Vice Consul Zaeller, at Juarex, reported
to the Stoio Department today that Villa
arrived there yesterday, Zoellcr stated
the rebel chief did not confiscate any
property, aa reported, nor did ha 'confer
with storekeepers.

Tho passage- of the full crow repealer

Constant Italian progress must render
tha situation at Gorizia dally more criti

substance of a report on general Russian
conditions cabled to tho Btato Department
today by Ambaasador Maryo at Petro

havo made full preparations for taking

mnlncd unusually good.

effect that tho Russians destroyed all the

Vogdes, chief cnglnqer of tho Park

Mr. Bolger quotes Wobster's Unabrldi

STAONANT Not flowing; not running iff
a current or stream; motionless! 'benc,
foul from lack ot motion; as n stagnant
pond; stagnant blood in the veins. ' if,
"I'd llko to know," said Mr. Bolger u
he slammed the big book closed, "whet(i
that doesn't describe tho pool In FaJ(

pool, tnen i aon t Know wnat a stagnaal
rjool Is." !i
Mr. Bolger disavows any Intention .t
get Into a controversy, and Is greatlf
surprised any one should have objects
to nis use or tno word stagnant. :f
A reporter visited the pool and foiini
