CENTRAL AMERICAN
COUNTRIES SUPPORT
U. S. MEXICAN POLICY
Join European Powers In
Exerting Pressure Upon
President Huerta
p
OVERTURES MUST
BE MADE AT ONCE
Wilson Will Deliver Message Tuesday
Unless Huerta Takes Definite Ac
tion—U. S. Backed By World
Wide Sentiment
■Washington. August 34.—Besides
Great Britain, France and Japes, prac
tically all the Central and South Ameri
can countries are lending their support
to the efforts of the United States to
bring about a peaceful settlement of
the Mexican revolution.
Unless satisfactory overtures are made
by the Huerta government before Tues
day, President Wilson will proclaim in
person, in a mesage to both houses of
Congress the principle that constitutional
government alone can he recognized In
Mexico, He also will outline the sugges
tions of the United States for the elimi
nation of Huerta and the establishment of
a legally constituted administration In the
southern republic.
, That the United States Is backed by a
world wide sentiment in Its peace policy
Is conceded In diplomatic circles here.
Tangible evidences of the attitude of
Prance came today In the news dispatches
from Paris, stating it was practically cer
tain President Poincare and Foreign Min
ister Plnchon would not receive Francisco
f>e La Barra, appointed minister to
Fiance by Provisional President Huerta
and now en route to his post.
Will Not Be Welcomed
His status. It was pointed out In the ad
vices from Paris, was similar to that of
General Felix Diaz, special ambassador to
Japan from the Huerta administration,
who, It was announced In Toklo, would
not be welcomed, except as an Individual.
Great Britain's statement recently that
the recognition of Huerta had been pro
visional pending an election, taken to
gether with expressions from France and
Japan, all of whom have formally recog
nized Huerta, are the only public mani
festations of sympathy with the policy of
the United States In opposing Huerta, but
In the quiet realm of diplomacy a greater
tpressure Is being brought to hear upon the
Huerta regime to yield to the American
suggestions for peace.
Assurances that Lattn-Amerlea stands
by President Wilson have been Informally
nuretved here. STlds had heen expi'cted,
howevev, as the interests of Central and
.South American countries, where,volatility
of government has prevailed through mili
tary dictatorships, are admittedly in line
with the attitude taken hy the United
States In the present situation.
Completes Message
While Preslden Wilson has completed
nis message, which will embrace not only
p summary of the proposals made by John
TJnd and the reply of the Huerta gov
ernment, but also a statement of the
policy to be forwarded by the United
States, administration officials were re
ticent to discuss what, course would be
pursued. They pointed significantly, how
ever, to the lifitln-American statement
issued by President Wilson during the
first fortnight of his administration, and
declare It would be the basis of what he
would have to say on Tuesday.
In that statement the President an
nounced he earnestly desired “the most
cordial understanding and co-operation be»
tween the people and the leaders of
America," and said:
“Co-operation Is possible only when sup
ported at every turn by the orderly pro
cesses of just government based upon law,
not upon arbitrary or irregular force. We
hold,.as 1 am sure all thoughtful leaders
of republican government everywhere
hold, that Just government rests always
upon the consent of the governed and that
there can be no freedom without order
based upon law and upon the public con
science and approval. We shall look to
make these principles the basis of mutual
intercourse, respect and helpfulness be
tween our sister republics and ourselves.
“We shail lend our influence of everj'
kind to the realization of these prin
ciples In fact and practice. Knowing
that disorder, personal intrigue and de
fiance of constitutional rights weaken
and discredit government and injure
none so much as the people who are
unfortunate enough to have their com
mon life and their common affairs so
tainted and disturbed.
Friends of Peace
"Wo havo no sympathy with those
who seek to seize the power of gov
ernment to advance* their own personal
Interests or ambition. We are the
friends of peace, but we know that
there can be no lasting or stable p«*ace
in such circumstances. As friends,
therefore, we shall prefer those who act
in the Interest of peace and honor, who
protect private rights and respect the
restraints of constitutional provision.
Mutual respect seems to us the indis
pensable foundation of friendship be
tween states, as between individuals.”
The President pointed out that the
United States had nothing to seek in
Hatin-America, but the “lasting inter
ests of the people” and “the surety of
the governments, intended for the eople
and for no special group or interest.”
These are the principles on which
President Wilson has based his attitude
of non-recognition of the Huerta gov
ernment, set up through the overthrow
by arms of Francisco Madtro, the
legally elected ruler of the country.
It is to secure a return to constitutional
government that the efforts of the Presi
dent are dedicated and the resignation of
Huerta, therefore, has been made the

BANKERS’ ACTION TO
WORK NO CHANGE IN
CUfiRENCYMEASURE
Administration Forces Vig
orously Indorse Bill As
It Now Stands
ADMIT MERIT OF
SOME PROPOSALS
Senate May Finally Work in the
Changes, But House Expected to
Pass Original Measure—Many
Suggestions Made
Washington, August 24.—The answer
of the administration forces in the
House to the critcisms of the currencj'
bill made by the conference of bank
ers at Chicago yesterday will bo a
tightening up of the lines and a more
vigorous indorsement of the bill as it
now stands. Informal conferences of
j democratic members of the House cur
| roncy committee today empaslzed the
fact that the active supporters of the
President's currency plan expect to pass
the measure through the House with
out substantial change.
The amendment proposed by the
bankers, it was pointed out by House
leaders today, all were considered in
detail when the bill originally was pre
pared and In the long debate ovef its
provisions in the House committee on
banking and currency.
Change Not Expected
The proposal to reduce the quantity
of reserves and give country banks the
privilege of keeping part of their re
serves in the large cities had many sup
porters and ultimately may be worked
into the bill in the Senate, but the
change is not expected in the House.
The bankers will have an opportunity
to present their views openly to Con
gress after the currency bill gets into
the Senate. Chairman Owen of the Sen
ate currency committee said today that
while hearings had not yet been ar
ranged he expected leading representa
tives of the various "factions” among
the bankers of the country would be
invited to give their views of the bill
to the Senate committee.
Merit in Proposal
"I see a great deal of merit in the pro
posal to reduce somewhat the quantity of
the reserves,” said Senator Owen. .‘‘We
have not discussed the new legislation
sufficiently in committee, however, to
know what changes may be made In the
bill.”
The fact that leading bankers hold dif
ferent views of the effect of the new legis
lation, particularly with regard to the pos
sible reduction of loans and curtailment of
cjrftdt^. has led members^ of the -Senate
committee to believe that a further discus
sion of the bill at open hearings would re
sult hi winning the co-operation and sup
port of a large portion of the country’s
banking fraternity.
Few ol’ the changes advocated by the
bankers will receive favorable consider
ation from the democartic forces in the
Senate. Chairman Owen is unalterably
I opposed to the idea of changing the feder
al board of control so banking interests
would have a share in its management or
to creating a currency to be issued by the
banks Instead of by the federal govern
ment. Tt is believed a large majority of
the Senate will adhere to the plan for
treasury notes rather than notes issued by
banks.
Plan for Retirement
Senator Shafroth, a majority member of
the currency committee, tomorrow will In
troduce In the Senate a proposed plan for
the retirement of all existing eurrejioy ex
cept silver certificates and the issuance
of a general form of treasury notes ♦se
cured by d 60 per cent gold reserve.
Senator Shafroth'a bill also would
substitute treasury notes at once for
all outstanding national hank notes
and would cancel the government bonds
that now form the security for the
national hank eifVrenoy. He said today
Ills bill would save $14,800,000 in in
terest now paid by the government on
bonds used to secure national hank
currency, a sum that would be in
creased to $22,246,000 J.f the two per
cent bonds were refunded with 3 per
cents.
“It would take the control of the
currency out of the hands of the banks
and place It in the government,” said
Senator Shaffroth. “It would satisfy the
bankers because it would cash their
2 per cent bonds without loss.”
Request Hearings
Many, requests for hearings have been
received by members of the Senate
committee. Among these are requests
from offiers of leading labor organ
izations. One such letter, from T. J.
Dolan of Chicago, secretary-treasurer
of the Brotherhood of Steam Shovel and
Dredgemen, said in part:
“The working men of the country
are just as much if not more interested
in the pending currency measure than
any other class, as they are the peo
ple who deposit their earnings In the
savings banks of the country. I be
lieve if representative men of the dif
ferent classes of people Interested in
this measure were invited to partici
pate in a conference great good would
come from it.”

Sublime Port Opens Nego
tiations With Bulgarian
Delegate—Is Willing to
Make Concessions
London, August 26.—The sublime porte
has opened direct negotiations with the
Bulgarian delegate, M. Noohevitch, who
hits remained, in ^nfc'Umiinqpl enlace he
went there at the POtbreak of the Second
war to negotiate an understanding with
Turkey, ft is understood that the porte
remains firm with regard to Adrianople
and Kirk Kllisseh, but is prepared to make
concessions in other quarters.
Pierre Loti, the French writer, under
Constantinople date, sends to the Daily
Telegraph a vivid story of his impres
sions on visiting Adrianopole and the
surrounding districts. Loti says:
“The Bulgarians have made of Thrace a
desert surpassing in abomination every
thing I had been told, and all that I had
imagined. With what fury have these
Christian liberators wrorked in order to
accomplish so much destruction in a few
months."
Orgies and Massacres
He describes orgies and massacres
and violation and desecration in all the
Turkish villages and asserts that Adri
anople itself only escaped by a miracle
because the Truks arrived a day earlier
than was expected and so defeated the
Bulgarian plans for a similar massacre
there.
M. Loti confirms the story of several
thousand Turkish prisoners being
herded on an island and there allowed
to starve to death by the Bulgarians,
those who survived starvation being
massacred and protests in the strongest
terms against Europe permitting Adri
anople to be handed back to the Bul
garians. He says to do so would be a
crime and express the belief that the
Russians have been misled and that
when they know* all the monstrous
truth they wnll realize that to take up
the cause “of this small, deceitful and
ferocious people, this opprobrium of
the great Slav family would be to soil
their history with an indellible stain."
Powers Unable to Agree
London. August 24.—The Vienna cor
respondent of the Daily Mail declares
that the powers have been unable to
agree on any plan to coerce Turkey.
France apposes any financial pressure,
while Germany objects to moral pres
sure. Neither Austria nor Russia ap
pears inclined to assist Bulgaria, and
there is little doubt, according to this
correspondent that Turkey will retain
I Adrianople.

Having found! it useless to argue

about a truce in the breach which for

To Thaw, ihis end has become pre

None of the Traw lawyers cared to niaka
any predictions tonight as to the unwind

it was understood they would come into

granted last week, on Wednesday, aa
agreed, and begin their real battle when
the immigration authorities take up th«
question of deporting Thaw as an unde*

This hearing might last for days.
Should it result in Thaw’s deportation, the
Canadian counsellors then would drop the
case and an American lawyer begin an in
volved fight against Thaw’s extradition
from whatever state to which he may be
sent. That this state undoubtedly will be
Vermont was still the consensus of
opinion.
