"Sensible preparation for possible ag

EUROPE FOR PEACE PLAN
Powers Want Pan-America to
Establish Sound and Safe
Government
WASHINGTON. Aug. 11 - General
Cnrran2a Is prepnrlng to resist with
nrms If necessary efforts of the United
Sinter to pffect a. sound and orderly gov
ernment In Mexico, through compromise
of the warring factions. In onlelal cir
cles today tho fear was admitted that
ho would prove a formidable obstacle' to
the solution of tho Mexican problem by
armed Intervention, should tho United,
StateB, In nn extremity, attempt this.
Therefore, efforts to persuade the "first
chlot" to meet his foes half way and
Join with them In a peace conference,
looking toward adjustment of differences,
were redoubled today.
Information reached the Stato Depart
ment from nn unimpeachable source that
a number of Insurgent bands that have
been fighting the Cnrranzlsta forces havo
laid down their arms with but one stipu
lation that they bo employed by the
"first chief" In resisting armed .Interven
tion ,by the United Stntce or npy other
force' alien to Mexico.
Certain officials declared today the be
lief that the activity of marauding band3
on tho border during the last few days,
which lins subsided In somo degree dur
ing the Inst is hours, was tho result of
a caretullv-lald plot to terrorize Ameri
cans In TexaB, and, by so doing, to
plnmpede the United States Into tmmo
dlnto Intervention. However, this view
was not shared by any considerable num
ber of officials, nor by any ofllclals of
srent power In tho Administration.
Ofllclals of the nrmy and navy who
have Insisted nil along that tho proposed
policy of diplomatic readjustment Is
doomed to failure, sny the Insurgents
that have surrendered nre well armed,
seasoned veterans. Under the leadership
of Carranza and Obrogon they would
mnko any work of pacification by Amor
lean soldiers n very difficult ono and one
that surelv would cost thousands of
American lives.
RAIDERS ARE CARRANZISTAS.
A report that created a stir In army
circles was received from General Fun
ston to tho effect that tho majority of
the rnlders In Toxas were Carranza
soldiers and officers. Ho made It clear,
haweVcr.Thiitrfie bollevcduhey were act
ing without orders irom tneir cniei. xpis
report was made public after it had been
submitted to President Wilson, It fol
lows:
"Nothing serious has occurred within
the last few days. It is known that the
principal part of the band of outlaws was
driven across tho Rio Grande Into Mex
ico. It Is now established, beyond doubt,
thnt a considerable portion of the band'
of outlaws came from Mexico nnd wero
officers and soldiers of Carranza's forces,
doubtless acting without authority of
their chief.
"Once on this side of the river, they
were Joined by about 23 Texan-Mexicans,
all well urmed and mounted, and pro
ceeded to raid through the country as
far as Norlas "
CARRANA DENIES.
The Carrnnza Agency headquarters was
quick to deny the Funston report. Its
leports declared that Funston must have
received (wrong Information On the con
trary, Carranza, his agency says, has
offered to co-operate with the United
Slates Government In every Way In pre
