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 ers will give their adherence to the Idea pf a peace conference, General Carransa issued from Vera r I to"?, through his Wsshlngton agents.

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.
