;United States Asked to Co-Operute in
Move to Safeguard and Restore
Trade of Pan-American Countries j
Disturbed by Conflict in Europe. J
WASHINGTON, November 20.?Tho
United States government has been
asked by tho principal South American
nations to eo-opora'to with them In
negotiations with European belliger
ents to bring about tho exclusion of i
all belligerent warships from tho wa- j
tcrs of hte two Amcricas and safeguard |
the "trade of Pan-American countries j
with each other.
Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uruguay!
have laid their suggestions before the j
Washington government, while the j
Brazilian government is considering j
taking a similar step. Virtually ail .
the Central and South American '
countries liaVe been circularized by j
some of ^the principal nations, result- .
ing in a 'series of diplomatic confer- I
enccs in Washington and tho capitals1
of South America, which aro now in j
progress.
While tho proposals are different in j
character and scope they all seek tho '
same end?the restoration of the trfido
between North and South America,
paralyzed by the Kuropean war. The
movement has also for Its object the
removal of possible cases of serious
friction between the countries or' this
hemisphere and the Kuropean bellig- i
erents on questions of neutrality.
AMIEADY IIAVK HAD
SEHIUUS DIKPICI'IjTIES .
Already Chile. Ecuador and Colom- {
bia have had serious dltlicultles with I
the belligerents over tho uso of wire- I
less and the coaling of foreign war- |
ships, whoso presence in the Atlantic j
and Pacific is growing obnoxious to j
South American countries.
None of the nations which have mado j
suggestions is committed to any par- j
ticular plan, but all seek co-oporation i
by the United States. The impetus
that will make any plans effective, It
is recognized, rests with President
Wilson.
The various plans thus far formally
communicated to the United States are
.as follows:
?Oni??The establishment of neutral
zones on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts on North and South America,
within which tho belligerents shall bo
asked to agree not to engage in hos
tilities.
Two?The convocation of a general
conference of diplomatic representa
tives and commercial delegates of all
American countries with powers to
vote on steps which can be taken to
protect and restore Pan-American
trade. ?
Three?The appointment by the lJun
i American Union of a commission to
recommenc\ steps that would remove
dangers to Pan-American trade.
Four?Prohibition by nil nations of

filVKS ICXCOt'HAClOSIEXT
While many diplomats believe re
striction of coaliuK privileges alone j
would not be effective in keeping bel- j
llgerent warships from American wa- >
ters, tli?t fact that England lookod with I
favor on measures that would assist j
tho South American countries in pre
serving their neutrality and restoring
their trade has been a source of much
encouragement to diplomatists hero.
Tho entire movement is as yet in a
formative state, and depends largely
for its progress on the attitude of tho
United States toward It. Those in a
position to know tho preliminary opin
ions expressed by high ofllelals of tho
American government In early FtajreB
of the negotiations learned that tho
United States was particularly anxloun
to take no step which might impair
l?.s Influence with any of the bellig
erents in the eventual settlement of
the 10 u rope a n war. South American'
diplomats, realizing thlv, have sought'
to find some common ground, on which
to act, so that tangible and practical
results will bo obtained without em
barrassing the neutrals In their rela
tions with the belligerents.
The position of the South American
countries, as voiced by representatives
here, is one of earnest, serious effort
to assert their rights as neutrals.
Their trade has suffered, and they feel
they are the innocent victims of a con
flict which they could not have pro
vented. With tho very economic life
of the South American nations threat
ened by the rupture of trade connec
tions with lCuropo, the Latin countries
are looking to the United States for
capital to promote domestic enter
prises, and they believe the develop
ment of their Industries by foreign In
terests will not come until Pan-Ameri
can trade has been given protection.
The idea that neutral zones may be
established within which ships of all
nations may move unmolested l>- -in ex
tension of the original principle of in
ternational law which Axed three miles
as the territorial limit of a nation.
This distance was agreed on because
it was the range of guns in use when
the principle was established.
Since then the range of guns has
extended to more than twenty miles,
ami the wireless lias introduced a new
means of controversy over breaches of
neutrality. Tho countries which favor
the establishment of a neutral zone
argue that an extension of territorial
waters to 100 or even 200 miles from
tho coast Is an Inherent right of a
sovereign nation.
DK.M.U, OK COAL WOII.D
HARDLY IIK ADEQUATK
I The proposal to deny coal to war
| ships, some South American diplomats
think, would hardly bo adequate, as
much more dltllculty is being experi
enced in preventing merchant ships
from coaling men-of-war at sea. Tho
Idea, also, of giving a warship only
enough coal to reach a port of the
nearest foreign country would not seri
ously affect the ability of the belliger
ents to coal their vessels. ' Already
Colombia, which was not signatory to
The Haguo convention, has ordered
that. Instead of giving a vessel enough
coal to roach the nearest home port,
supplies bo sold to enable them to
make only tho port of an adjacent
country. This, however, has resulted
from tho desire of Colombia to rostrlct
tho exportation of coal, of which she
bus only a limited production.

"Tho Gcrmtns linvo made no ad- ;

house." and 'tho "British are In touch I
with Turkish forces thirty miles east
of tho Suoz Canal," were the pallonta >
of a speech made by Field Marshal
Karl Kitchener in tho Ilouso of Lords
tills afternoon.
Lord Kitchener paid tribute to the
gallantry of tho Belgian urmy and to
Klne Albert. Ho said the allies' losses. I
though great, wero slight oompnrod j
with those ot' tho enemy.
Tho Russians, he announced, have |
defeated the Oormnns, Inflicting heav- |
lor losses than the latter ever suffered |
before.
Regarding recruiting, he said he
still had room for inun, ami ho was
confident the men would answer. About
30,000 recruits are enlisting weekly,
he roportod.
"The time will come when we shall j
requlro many more, and I will then |
make it thoroughly well known," tho i
fiold marshal said, and added that lsi |
the meantime all the gaps in the Brit- ]
Ish forco on the Continent had boon ;
filled.
Referring to tho Gerinnn advance on
Dunkirk and Calais, after the capture
of Antwerp, Lord Kitchener mentioned
that a British cavalry division ex
tending over sevfen miles of trenches
threw back tho Ilerco attacks of a
whole German army corps for morel
than two days. Tho arrival of the j
Indians on the scene, he said, proved a I
great advantage, and when tho fresh ;
reinforcements pushed forward tho J
German march on Calais stopped.
PAYS GLOWING THIIIUTE
TO FIGHTING FRENCH
Loid Kltchencr spoke also of the!
splendid fighting qualities of tho
French troops.
"In the early days of November," ho
said, "no less than eleven army corps
were attacking the British position.
At this critical period tho clRhth di
vision was despatched from England
to Join the forces In the field, and tho
valuable co-operation of our allies on
our left materially strengthened tho
British positions.
"On November 11 a supreme effort
was made by the Germans. Tho Prus
sian Guard was ordered to forco Its
way through our lines at all costn and
to carry them by sheer weight of num
bers. ? Rut this desperate attempt
failed like Its predecessors.
"Strong French reinforcements oc
cupied a considerable portion of tho
British trenches In front of Vprea, and
with their TrurfTt thus appreciably
shortened, the British, who, for over
fourteen days and nights never t had
left tho trenches, wero enabled to oh
Joy a partial rest."
1 fc'evoral battalions of territorials,
Lord Kitchener announced, had Joined
tho British forces and had made them
selves ' fclt.
Lord Kitchener briefly touched on
tho Turkish intervention, and said tho
Russians were successfully advancing
In the Caucasus, while an Indian ex
peditionary force had twice defeated
the Turks at ? the head of the Persian
Gulf, and were also in touch with a
Turkish force thirty miles to the
east of tho Suez Canal.
' CLAIMS THAT COL.OM1IIA
HAS MAINTAINED NEUTRALITY
NEW YORK, November 20.?Colom
t bin has maintained the strictest neu
1 trallt.v since the outbreak of the Eu
ropean war, and has made every effort
to compel neutrality on the part of all
foreigners In that country, Julio Be
tancourt. Colombian minister to the
United States, declared to-day. He
made tliia declaration in an olHclal
statemont.
Mr. Bctuncourt said that If either
England or France could provo viola
tions of Colombia's neutrality by any
persons or corporations In Colombia,
! and would present them at Bogota, he
could guarantee that punishment would
be meted out to the offenders.
The minister said that one wireless
station complained of now was under
government consorshlp, but that, de
spite tho government's efforts to mala
taln Its neutrality, one of the belliger
ents may have succeeded In erecting a
temporary wireless station somewhere

PlSiTflOGRAD, November 2C.?Disas
ter onco more 1ms overtaken the Ger
mans In rolarid. Their second army of
Invasion 1h smashed. Not only has
their flank boon nut, but the Russians
are well In tho rear of the German
ur my.
Tho battle of Koljugchkl Is tho
crowning victory of tho campaign In
Poland. What is loft of the German
army is still being pursued, surrounded
by a wail of Russians and In terror
of the .steel of tho Cossacks. Tho cnomy
is lighting with tho desperation of do
spalr to regain his own frontier.
When the final cost is counted,
Koljuschkl will be found a greater
blow to (icrmun hopes than either Lcm
berg or the San.
Knljuschkl, which Is about twenty
miles directly east of Lodz, and Is a
junction of three railroads whereby
troops might reach the Vistula valley,
was of vital importance to the Ger
mans. In order to anticipate a coun
ter attack, they tnade a demonstration
against Lodz.
This effort only Infuriated tho Rus
sians who, balked for the moment of
their proy over tho SllcBl^n border,
turned to face the foe on the now
quarter
It lias been an axiom among military
i authorities that the Russians cannot
j take tho offensive Bury that axiom
: right hero They cool< the offensive
I like maddened wild eats, and they
. fought rings around the Germans. Ad
mitting their numerical superiority
i their victory Is none the less brilliant,
considering the difficulties Involved In
their change of front. The undoing of
tho Germans was their disregard for
'tueslan numbers. You cannot disre
gard nunibern when tho opposing
troops aro as woll armed as you are.
