example, notice this, taken from adver
tising .matter on the- four-plow tractor,
manufactured by the Klnhard-Iialnes
company of Minneapolis: "It Is equipped
with the four-cylinder, vertical valvs-ln-the-head
type of motor of the well

And. like the automobile manufactur

these, being especially adapted to small

WASHINQTON, Aug. 12. Presi
dent Wilson and Searetary Lansing
conferred at length today
on the
Mexican situation. Details of yes
terday's -conference In New York of
the Latin-American diplomats were
given to the president.
Just before Mr. Lansing went to
the White House he announced that
tl'e appeal to the factions and lead
ers In Mexico will not be sent today,
as arrangements for lta transmission
by telegraph and mall to remote
parts of Mexico are not complete.
The communication has been fin
Iphed, signed, approved by president
With the return of the president it was
sgaln reiterated that the Inter-American
peace plan does not contomplate In any
way the use of force, pr the Impairment
of Mexico's sovereignty or interference
In Its domestlo affairs. The purpose of
the sppeal Is to Influence Mexicans them
selves to hold a pcaoe convention and
tha government created by that action
will be acconled recognition whether or
not the acquiescence of all the factions
is obtslned.
Secretary Lansing declined to comment
on General Carransa's letter of protest
against the Pan-American peace plan.
He said no reply had toen made. How
ever tho feeling is that when the Pen
American conferees' sppeal la read It
will bo evident that Carransa has been
misinformed as to the purpose of the
Pesce plan and there Is a confident hope
that aoms of his hitherto close support

Barnes Compares
T, It, and Bismarck
ALBANY, N. T.. Aug. 12. William
Bames, jr., today warned the constitu
tional convention, now In session here,
that If a stop was not put to what he
termed "socialistic" or class legislation,
there would be established In this coun
try an autocratic slate, similar to that of
Germany, "donylug utterly the Ameri
can theory of equality."
Incidentally, the republican leader com
pared Theodora Roosevelt to Bismarck,
and asserted that the progressive party
bad Inaugurated and was advocating ths
identical policy which had caused the
ociallst party in Germany to become the
largest single group in the Reichstag.
Mr. Barnes' warning and attack upon
the progressives was contained la a
peerh urging tbe convention to adopt
his amendment prohibiting ths legisla
ture from psavlng minimum wage, old
age pensions or similar laws.

RUSSIAN SCHEME 13 A FAILURE
Ctar's Second Line of Defense Back
of Warsaw Seems to Have Been
Made Untenable.
BATTLE EXPECTED NEXT WEEK
LONDON, Aug. 12. Tha Baltic
flank of tha German armies, under'
Field Marshal Von Hlndennurg. has
virtually attained the banks of the
river Dvlna, between Riga and
Dvlnsk, with Petrograd lesg than 300
milea away in a direct line.
Thence southward the line sweeps
west, with the Russian fortress of
Kovno still holding out, but next
week may see a great battle on the
road toward the Russian capital.
The second line of derense upon
which tha Russians proposed to fall
back after abandoning Warsaw has
all the appearances of having been
rendered untenable, and the British
and Russian press is beginning to see
In the Austro-Oerman plan an ambi
tious plunge deeper Into Russia, with
Petrograd as the goal.
In the meantime the Russian rear
guards are fighting desperately, espe
cially In the critical Dvlna region and at
Kovno, to capture which the Germans
are making a terrifia sacrifice of men.
It seems plain now tha Oermans pur
pose no great demonstration In the west,
but Intend rather to press to the utmost
their so far brilliantly successful Russian
campaign on the theory that conditions
In France and Belgium are such that
neither the French nor the British Im
mediately will attempt a general of
fensive. During the lull In activity on the front
In France snd Belgium the British puhllo
is looking to the Dardanelles to bring th
relief Ruanda so bsdly neads. though the
task of opening the straits remains a
difficult problem, which somo tlilnk msy
only be solved by a change In the Balkan
situation. Both Germany and the entento
powers are exerting the hsrdest pressure
on Bulgaria, as that country Is consid
ered to be the key to the situation.

PUTT ROG HAD, Aug. ll.-Vta London.
Aug. 11) Tha Novoe Vremya. discussing
today ths theory that Petrograd is tho
real objective of the German offensive,
says: -. .......
"There Is an enormous difference be
tween the war of Mil and the present
conflict. The Germans ere hurling
sgalnot the Russian foroes, equivalent to
seven such Invasions as that of Napoleo i
and supported by the latest technical ap
pliances, whereas, In lSli. ths Russian
army In ths latter respect wss fully on a
par with ths French.
'The Germans are Infinitely better
posted ss to the position of Russia than
Napoleon, and they are incapable of re-
jgardtng Moscow ss the key to the empire.
(They know that Petrograd Is the political
center and it is only half an far from
Riga as Moscow.
"It Is only a nlgtit-s railway Journey
between Riga and Petrograd, and the dis
tance over good roads snd' two lines of
railways do not offer Insuperable difficul
ties. This is no second war of 1813, but
something far more serious."
The Rsch advises the population of
Petrograd that air raids on the capital
are likely in the near future, snd that a
hostile cavalry force may possibly get
near tha capital. It saws, however, that
there Is on fear of anything further at
present.
