NOTHING GIVEN OUT AT ALL
First Conference to Consider Presi
dent Wilson's Plan for Pacifi
cation of Mexico.
PACTIONS WILL PRESENT CLAIMS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. The
conference of Pan-American diplo
mats adjourned after more than
two hours, to meet again tomorrow
afternoon. Secretary Lansing re
fused to divulge what had taken
place, saying the meeting was in
formal and confidential.
Mr. Lansing laid stress on the in
formal nature of the conference,
which he indicated might continue
some days. The Latin-American
diplomats, he said, had entered the
conference on the understanding
that its proceedings should he en
tirely confidential.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. The six
Pan-American diplomats invited by
President Wilson to Join the United
States in formulating a plan for re
storing peace to Mexico arrived here
today for their conference with Sec
retary Lansing.
The first result is expected to be
the ground work of an understand
ing for an all-Amerlcan project to
re-establish constitutional govern
ment below the Rio Grande, preserve
the sovereignty of Mexico and con
vince the world that the United
States is acting as Mexico's nearest
and most powerful friend and neigh
bor in saving the distracted country
from itself.
Ambassador Naon, Da Q&rna and
fuarei of Argentina. Brazil and Chile,
respectively, who ware mediators at the'
Niagara Falls conference last year, and
Ministers Calderon, Meodeg and Do Fena
of Bolivia, Guatemala and Uruguay, re
spectively, selected because they are the
ranking members of the Pan-American
legation corps, went to the St&to de
partment to meet Secretary Lansing at
:3-.'eek - - '
Wan Partly Outline.
The diplomats were only partly ad
vised of ' President Wilson's plan. The
purpose of the conference was to Invite
their help in working one out. The gov
ernments already have signified their
willingness to co-operate in the work and
after today's conference. It is expected
the other Pan-American countries, in
cluding Cuba, not represented In today's
conference, will be asked to join In the
work.
Bo far as Is known the president's plan
proposes, first, a cessation of warfare,
establishment of provisional government
by the factional leaders themselves;
should that fall, the American nation
would assume ths task.
Chieftains Will Present Claims.
The Villa and Carransa leaders here
began taking steps to get their claims
before the conference, through the cour
tesy of some of the Latin-American par
ticipants. The Carransa representatives will point
out that they now control the greater
portion of Mexico, Including most of the
principal cities and all of the principal
ports. End that they have restored civil
government and Industry In the wake
of their armies. They will press their
claims of military advantages over the
Villa forces.
Villa representatives plan to . submit
their willingness to participate in peace
conferences between the factions and to
the elimination of military leaders, but
will oppose the recognition of Carranza.
Broader Plan Saggested.
Aside from the plan of settlement
among me Aiexiian irauera iiiciiibbivcb,
the proposal to establish a' Pan-American
commission to take over Mexico, require
disarmament, restore civil government
and conduct elections has been brought
forward again. Another plan for policing
Mexico with Pan-American forces also
has been considered.

MOSCOW (Via Petroarad and
London), Aug. 4. Hundreds of
refugees from Warsaw are arriving
here daily. Most of them are wlth-j
out money or means of sustenance
and are seeking aid at the Amerlcnn !
consulate, where an enlarged staff is !
attempting to supply temporary as-.
slstance, pending the organization ot j
a Russian relief committee. !
The refugees state that although the
population of the Polish capital was con-
vlnced that the Germans ultimately would !
occupy the city, a majority of the cltlsens
elected to remain, only approximately
16 per cent to date having been lost to the
city. j
This accounts for the comparative
order and the absence ot panclo which I
accompanied the exodus.
Thlrd-t'laas Tickets Free.
The German occupation from tho first
seemed Imminent, the government Issued
an order that third class tickets to any
point In the Interior of Russia should be
given free to all cltlsens desiring to de
part. The only condition attached by the
authorities was that residents so leav
ing would not be allowed to return with
out a special permit.
The abandonment of the city was sx
carefully planned and so systematically
executed that an onlooker received tlio
Impression that a no more extraordinary
phenomenon was occurring than the
ordinary summer exodus. Sufficient extra
trains had been provided so that traveling
conditions on the whole differed little
from normal.
An unusual feature of the present re
tirement was the fact that provision
tickets were made unnecessary.
The bulk of the refugees traveled on
foot or with their wagoni along the high
ways. Most of the refugees were una bio . .

TEUTONS TAKE KANY PRISONERS
BERLIN, Aug. 6. (By Wireless
to Tuckerton, N. J.) Warsaw was
taken this morning by German
troops, according to an official an
nouncement made at German army
headquarters.
Yesterday and last night Bavarian
troops under the command of Prince
Leopold broke through the forts of
the outer and inner lines of the city'g
defenses, where the rear guards of
the Russian troops made a tenacious
resistance.
Continuing, the report from head
quarters says:
"The German armies under Gen
eral Von Schols and General Von
Gallwlti advanced in the direction
of the road between Lomsa, Oatrov
and Wyszkow and fought a number
of violent engagements. Tho brave
and desperate resistance of the Rus
sians on both sides of the road be
tween Ostrov and Rosan waa without
success.
Lomza, Ostrov and Wyszkow are
to the northeast of Warsaw. Wyss

miles) from the Polish capitol.
Ostrov is 50 kilometers (thirty
miles) northeast of Wysikow, and .

The fall of Warsaw marks the culmina
