Wanhlngton, Aug. 1C Tho appunl
,of the United Stntcs nnd bIx Lutln
American republics to Carranza nnd
other iMcxIcnn lenders to scttlo their
differences and ngrco on a provisional
president was started on Its way last
night.
Tho task of telegraphing tho, appeal
is a big one, Inasmuch as It has to be
sent to Carranza, Villa, Zapata, tho
governors of tho utates of Mexico, tho
principal mllltnry leaders In tho Held
nnd leading citizens of tho republic
Tho text of tho appeal will not bo
given out for publication until all
copies hnvo been sent When this will
bo stato department ofllclals would
not venturo to guess.
Tho appeal was prepared by Sec
retary of Stato Lansing and the diplo
matic representatives of Argentina,
Brazil, Chllo, Bolivia, Uruguay and
Guatemala and approved by President
Wilson, it sctB forth that conditions
In Mexico, having continued soyeral
years without prospect 01 eariy aoaio
mcnt, warrant tho United States and
sister republics In making an urgent
appeal that tho various factions lay
down their arms and endeavor by
other means to restore peace. It Is
understood It proposes speclllcally:
1. That tho factions appoint repre
sentatives to hold conferences and ar
rango for holding a convention.
2. That this convention select a
provisional president and pledgo him
tho support of tho factions and ele
ments represented.
3. That this provisional president
will be recognized by tho United
States and tho Latin-American repub
lics which co operated In tho prepara
tion of tho appeal.
The Btato department has reason to
believe Vllln, Zapata and many of tho
governors of states, military command-
ers and prominent citizens will agree
to tho plan proposed. Present indl-
cations, however, aro that Carranza
will reject it.
The Mexican bordor situation con-
tlnucd to absorb attention In olllclal
quarters and was tho subject of a con-
ference between President Wilson nnd
Assistant Secretary Brcckcnridgo of
tho war department. - ?
Later Mr. Brcckcnridgo reiterated
tho statement that no moro troops
would bo ordered to tho border unless
General Funston should request them.
Pcrslstont reports that armed Moxl-
cans aro crossing tho bordor endeavor-
ing to Btir up troublo aro regarded as
significant, however, and a strict pa-

ing that transportation of war mun-L

Though friendly In tone, tho noto
denies tho Austro-Hungarlan conten

and Germany furnished munitions ot
war to Great Britain for tho Boer
war when England's enemies could,
not Import such supplies.
It Insisted that the 'American gov
ernment Is pursuing a strictly neu
tral course and adhering to a princi
ple upon which it would depend for
munitions in the markets of tho
world in case it should bo attacked
by a foreign power.
Attention Is directed to tho fact
that Austria-Hungary and Germany
beforo the war produced a great sur
plus of war munitions and sold them,
throughout tho world, "especially to
belligerents," and that "never during:
that period did either of them sug
