ANOTHER APPEAL TO MEXICO
Conferees In New York Agree VJpon
Form of Note.
New York, Aug. 12. —More details
of the administration's plan to bring
about peace ,in Mexico have been
worked out. Secretary of State Lan
sing and the representatives of six
Latin-American countries in confer
ence in the Hotel Biitmore agreed
upon the wording of an appeal to be
sent to the warring factions in Mex
ico, urging them to meet, compose
their differences, decide upon a form
of government and elect a provisional
president.
The diplomats agreed also on "the
form Of recognition" which they would
recommend to their respective gov
ernments with reference to the non
government which they hope to see
established in Mexico.
That they should have worked out
so carefully this piece of diplomatic
machinery, it was pointed out, may be
taken to suggest one of two things.
First, either the diplomats are confi- (
dent that the various factions in thr
country south of the Rio Grande wih
listen to the appeal of the leading
countries of the western hemisphere
Secondly, it may mean that the diplc
mats have agreed, in the event tha:
any one faction refuses to join a
peace conference, to recognize the
work that may result from the gath
ering together of the other factions.
It was learned also that the cor
ferees in this session, which lasted
for almost three hours, discussed the
guaranties that the man who should
be selected as provisional president
of Mexico must give n regard to
working out the economic, social and
political problems that now confront
the pauperized country. It was denied
that the name of any man was dis- i
cussed at the meeting or that the
question of the financing of a new
Mexican government came up.
WE STILL HAVE ftAPER BAG
But Then, What Is to Prevent Some

Washington, Aug. 12.—"Bite the
bubble," is the latest "health hint"
from the United States Public Health
and Marine hospital service. The e*
pert for the Marine hospital serv.'ie
says:
"If improperly constructed or im
properly used, the bubbling drinking
fountain may be a greater menace to
health than the common drinking cup.
The other day an inspector of the
United States public health service

11 men, 22 women and 14 children,
used the bubbling fountain. In al
most every case the lips were placed
almost completely around the metal

"In using the bubbling fountain the

REPORT ADRIATIC SUNK
Unconfirmed Rumor Says Ship Has
Been Torpedoed.
New York, Aug. 12. —A rumor thai
the steamship Adriatic, due at Liver
pool _this evening, had been tor
pedoed by a German submarine, was
circulated here yesterday and today.
The story was telephoned to the
various news agencies and the impres
sion was intensified by frequent calls
on the wire by various persons asking
if it were true that the ship had been
destroyed.
Diligent inquiry failed to discover
who was th<* author of the rumor.
The White Star line people had not
heard a word of her.
The Adriatic left New York late
last Wednesday, six hours behind
time, owing to the delay in getting
aboard of hor the enormous amoun:
of ammunition and other war supplie:-
with which she was loaded.
DON'T MEDDLE
SAYS CARRANZA
Mexicans Are "Displeased" at
Neighbors' Interference
DO NOT KNOW SITUATION
Duplicate Notes Were Presented to
South American Ambassadors, Say
Interference "Will Not Be Looked
Upon With Levity"—Claims Re.
forms Are Practically Completed,
But Does Not Say What Reforms.
Washington, Aug. 12. —General Car
ranza has served notice oh the Unit
ed States that he will not subscribe
to any pian for the restoration of
peace in Mexico devised by the Pan-
American conference that would tend
to defeat the aim of the constitution
alist party of which he is the head.
In a communication addressed to
Secretary Lansing, Carranza, speak
ing through his Washington agent,
has made it plain that he will not
tolerate interference by this govern
ment or the Latin-American republics
in the internal affairs of Mexico. Of
ficials here believe that Carranza will
fight rather than assent to the estab
lishment of any group in Mexico City
other than the one that he leads.
Unollicial advices received here are
to the effect that in a note addressed
to the president of Argentine, Car
ranza made his threat more specific, j
Protesting against the participation of
Argentina in the Pan-American con
ference Carranza is quoted as follows:
"Argentina has made herself an ac
complice in a crime against our race,
which possibly may help to bring on
war between two American nations." J
Carranza's message referred to the
Pan-American conference and was
taken as plainly signifying he would
not agree with its action toward Mex
ican affairs.
Carranza's communication, deliv
ered on his behalf by his Washington
agent, Elesio Arredondo, was regard
ed as little less than a defiance of the
United States in its effort to bring all (
the Mexican factions into a conft-v
ence for peaceful settlement of Mexi
can affairs.
In a letter to Secretary Lansing
Arredondo expresses surprise that a
Pan-American conference had under
taken to devise a_plan for the pacilica-

tion of Mexico and says reports tr,
that effect "have caused the constiru
tional government to feel justly
alarmed." He declares he has been in
structed by Carranza to communi
cate to the secretary on the subject.
"Mr. Carranza and the persons wh;
co-operate with him," says the letter
to Secretary Lansing, "are of the pro
found conviction that if the America::
government would know the true situ
ation in Mexico it would understand
that the only possible, just and ac
ceptable solution would be to leave
the revolution to follow its natural
course until the complete victory 01
the party representing the greatei
necessities and popularity.
"The constitutionalist government,
represented by Mr. Carranza, abstains
from passing any comment on the con
ferences that are being held, because
it has no knowledge of their char
acter, and of the conclusions which
may have been reached and because it
does not want to afford the supposi
tion that they tactily consented t-f it;
but at the same time it considers it
its duty to inform the American gov
ernment of the displeasure with
which the Mexican government and
people would view any act which
would tend to frustrate the success
practically accomplished against the
reactionary factions by the constitu
tionalist army, representing the hopes
and ideals of the Mexican people."
General Carranza's agency gave ou;.
the text of identical notes which he
addressed to Argentina and Chile pro
testing against their participation in
the Pan-American conference. Car
ranza evidently had been misin
formed that Brazil refused to par
ticipate and sent a message to Rio ex
pressing his gratification. He took
occasion, however, in the note to
Brazil to assail the Br.filian ruin
ister in Mexico City.
"I regret to say that Minister Car
doso de Olivera," said Carranza, "has
been one of the persons who have
brought the greatest evil on the re
public of Mexico and who in a certain
way may be responsible for the pres
ent status of our relations with the
government of the United States."
An address to the American people
which Carranza has prepared was
being held back awaiting the outcome
of the Pan-American conference.
Argentina already has replied to Car
ranza's protest, saying the Mexican
people should regard the conference
as a proof of friendship for Mexico.
Major General Funston, in com
mand of the American forces in Texas
and elsewhere on the Mexican fron
tier, can have all the troops available
to the war department if he needa
them to cope with the situation due
to the raiding of bandits, the defiance
of Carranza adherents and other in
cidents of the Mexican situation.
Secretary of War Garrison has tele
graphed General Funston to this ef
fect. It was said at the war depart
ment that General Funston had not
directly asked for more troops, but
that all requests from other sources
for additional military protection for
American interests along the border
were being referred to him.

Traps In French.
A frequent trap in French for the
unwary is the difference of meaning in
similar phrases. For example, "faire
feu" means to fire a gun, while "faire
du feu" means to light a fire; "tomber
par terre" conveys the idea of falling
to the ground from one's own height,
whereas "tomber a terre" means to fall
from any height—in other words, to
tumble down and to tumble off. In
the same way "traiter de fat" means
to call a man a fop and "traiter en roi"
to treat him like a king. ♦
The English bore may be expressed
tn two ways—"un raseur" gives the
kdea of an active bore and "une bas
slnoire" of a passive bore. London
