War's Effects Reviewed. 'In the heat of the frightful struggle which for so long has steeped in blood the Mexican soil doubtless all may well have lost sight of the dissolving effects of the strife upon the mor.t vital condi tions of. the. national existence, not only upon the life and liberty of the Inhabit ants, but on the prestige and security of the country. We cannot douht, how ever no one can doubt that in the presence of a sympathetic appeal from their brothers of America, recalling to them these disastrous effects, asking them to save their mother land from an abyss no one can doubt, we repeat that the patriotism of the men who lead or aid In any way the bloody strife will not remain unmoved: no one can COUDI mat eacn aim eery one oi mem. measuring in his ow n conscience his j share in the responsibilities of past I misfortune and looking forward to his! share in the glory of the pacification ; and reconstruction of the country, will respond nobly and resolutely to this friendly appeal and give their best f- forts to opening, the way to same sav-1 ing action. i We, the und'-rsigned. believe that if ; the men directing the anii'-d move-1 rnents in Mexico whether political c.r I military chiefs should agree to meet, cither in person or by delegates, far! from the sound of cannon and with i no other Inspiration save the thought of their aflllcted land, there to ex change Ideas and to determine the fate of the country, from such action would undoubtedly result the strong and un yielding- agreement requisite to the creation of a provisional government, which should adopt the first steps nec essary to the constitutional reconstruc tion of the country and to issue the first and most essential of them all. the immediate call to general elec tions. An adequate place within the Mexl- can frontiers, which for tl. purpose ; iaj(i,in republic by the National As mlght be neutralized, should s-re a ' snmblv. the seat of the conference, ani In or- der ; bring about a conference of his ratura the undersigned, or any of them, will willingly, upon invitation, act as Intermediaries to arrange the time, place and other details of such conference if this action can In any way aid the Mexican people. Answer In Reasonable Time.

A LITTLE TRAGEDY CCoDvrtKht-l 10 PLAY BIG ROLE Both Sides Make Desperate Efforts for Support SSUE IS FAR-REACHING Allies To Smash Their Way Through the Dardanelles Before the Teutons Can Get TO Constantinople. London. Movements overshadowing In importance even the operations in oland are being made in the Balkan theater of war. British operations against the Dar- anelles and Austro-German threats against Serbia are beginning to evolve themselves into a race for the support of the Balkan State. The Balkan situation at present omlnates all others In all the capitals of Kurope. Everything points to a vigorous of fensive by the Austro-Germans against Serbia at an early date with the object of crushing the Serbian army in order o force Bulgaria to give free passage to Teuton forces needed for the relief of Constantinople. Leading critics in Italy and France consider this plan of the German gen eral staff very serioiiB. Should it suc ceed it would involve the complete failure of the Allies' efforts at the Dardanelles and the final Immobilize Ion of the Balkan States, whose co operation Is now sought by tne quadruple entente. The Allies' Hope. No great hope is entertained that he Allies will succeed In Inducing the Balkan States to intervene on tneir side but It is hoped that the) will re main neutral. In order to defeat the Germans at their own plan the Allies on Gallipoll have commenced a tremendous offen sive against the Turks In a desperate effort to smash the Dardanelles de fenses and reach Constantinople be fore Germany can throw an army through Servin. More than tu.uuu fresh troops have been landed on Gul- lipoli within the last week and their appearance has heralded a violent drive on the entire front.

MORE WARSHIPS GO SOUTH Declares, In Effect, In Notes To Wash. Ington and Latin-American Coun tries That He Will Not Agree To Any Action By Pan-American Con ference Which Will Frustrate His Ambitions. Washington. General Venustiano Carranza, first chief of the Constitu tionalist faction In Mexico, has defied the I'nited States aud the Latin- Anierlran powers represented in tho ' Pan-American Mexican conference to interfere in the Internal affairs of Mexico. In reply the United States ordered t.ie remainder of the fourth battle ship division of tho Atlantic fleet to proceed to Southern waters. The Loulslnna and New Hampshire are al ready on thr-ir way. Tho Connecticut is in Haiti. The Kansas and Mlnne4 sota are undergoing repairs and will probably go later. The collier Cy clops also has sailed. These ships will have on board about 3,000 marines and bluejackets. Ships To Wait At Guantanamo. The division is under the command of Rear-Admiral Walter McLean, whose flagship is the Louisiana. The vessels will establish a base at Guan tanamo, Cuba, within easy stiikisg distance of the Mexican coast. As fast as possible the marines sent to Haiti to settle its troubles will be brought out and established at Guanta namo to await further orders. While this activity was being dis played by the Navy Department, Sec retary of War Garrison telegraphed General Funston, In command on the border, that every available soldier would be sent him if needed. General Funston now has 14,000 men on the line, with 7,000 more at Texas City, making a total of 21,000 men. The 7.000 men at Texas City will probably be moved to the scene of action. Letters Breathe Defiance. Carranza's letters to Secretary Lan sing, Latin-American members of trte Pan-American Conference and to the Presidents of Brazil, Argentine and Chile contained a solemn warning that any attempt by these countries to set to serious consequences. These com- .... n,nlPQilnnQ ivhleh were made nub C here breathed by the Carranza agency a tone of defiance that indicated a determination on the part of Car ranza to fight. To Fight Intervention. Evidently with the purpose of show ing that Carranza in hlB defiance to the United States was backed by his generals, a letter to Carranza from Gen. Candldo Aguilar, Governor and military commander of the State of Vera Cruz, in which he protests against outside Interference lu the in ternal affairs of Mexico and pledges himself to fight it, was made public. The imposing documentary array was accepted In official circles here as tantamount to a flat declaration by I arranza that tho only activity on the part of this or any other Government to which he will agree Is the recogni tion of his Government and that he will oppose with force any attempt by the United States, acting alone or with the six Latln-Amcriean countries, to set up any other government in Mexico.

ALLIES STRIKE AT Land Fresh Troops and Launch New Attack. ASSISTED BY BIG FLEET Sweep Enemy Back On Krithia Road. Armies Battling To Open Way To Succor Russians. London. The commencement of new and greater efforts to force the Dardanelles and thus bring succor to tho Russians, and at the same time to Influence the Balkan States, Is the latest feature of the war news. The renewed attempt agalust the Turkish positions, which apparently Is in full swing, seems to be a concerted one. Attacks are being made at the tip of the peninsula, along the Krithia road, where a gain of 200 yards on a front of 300 yards has been made, and at Sari Balr, w here an important crest has been occupied, according to Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton, commander-in-chief of the British forces. "Elsewhere," General Hamilton's report continues, "a fresh landing has been successfully effected and con siderable progress made." This landing evidently was a sur prise to the Turks, as 630 prisoners, a number of gitns and a quantity of ma terial are declared to have been taken by the British forces. Italy To Lend Hand. The forcing of the Dardanelles Is realized by the military critics here to be of the greatest importance, for they assert that it Is the only way that the Allies can render Immediate aid to Russia and repay her for the great sacrifices she has made for the com mon cause. In addition, it is believed by the military observers that a suc cess here would bring the Balkan States definitely over to the side of the Quadruple Entente powers In the war. Italy is understood 10 De pre pared to lend a hand in the Darda nelles operations. ARMENIANS DRIVEN OUT. 60,000 At Igdir and 100,000 Expected From Van.
