With the re assembling here tomorrow of the Am bassadors and Ministers of six South and Central American governments and the Secretary of State of the United States, a definite Inter-American effort will be put into operation to re-eetab- lish peace in Mexico by friendly means and to restore the revolution-torn country to its accustomed place in the American family of nations. - The conference will be concerned with final details of the first step in a plan, the Important features of which were unanimously- agreed on last week by the Ambassadors from Brazil, Chile and Argentina and the Ministers from" Bolivia. Guatemala and Uruguay and Secretary Lansing. "Supreme Appeal" Prepared. First and foremost the plan contem plates a supreme appeal to the con sciences of the Mexican leaders of all factions and political groups. It has been prepared and. after minor changes in phraseology are discussed tomor row, probably will be dlspatcMed Im mediately, a reasonable time a few weeks being allowed tor answers to be received. The appeal will be brief, politely phrased and transmitted- in. Spanish as originally written by one of the dip lomats.

While no details of the operations there have hon cFuon nut th. nuhllc haa been al lowed to learn that the hope for a successful issue In the fighting on tne Turkish peninsula was brighter. At Arl Burnu the Turks admit that tha landing- was successfully carried out. but they say they dispersed the troops which came ashore near Ji.ara- chall. It Is believed in military cir cles in London that the landing at Karnnhall was onlv a feint to disguise the real Intention of the allies, al though It Is said that the putting ashore of a strong force at this point might result In their working around and cutting the Turkish main line of communications with the Galllpoll Peninsula above the Bulair line across the neck of the peninsula. The forcing of the Dardanelles is rnalizod hv the military critics of the allies to be of the greatest importance. for the assert that It is tne only way that the allta can render immediate aid to Russia and repay her for the great sacrifices she has made for the common cause. In addition, it is be lieved by the military observers that a success here would bring the Balkan states definitely over to the side of the quadruple entente powers in the war. Italy is understood to be prepared to lend a hand In the Dardanelles opera tions'. The renewed attempt against the Turkish positions, which apparently Is In full swing, seems to be a concerted one. Attacks are being made at the tip of the peninsula, along the Krithia road, where a gain of 200 yards on a front of 300 yards has been made, and at Sari Balr, where an Important crest haa h.in attained, according? to General Sir Ian Hamilton, commander-in-chief of the British forces. "Elsewhere." General Hamilton's re port continues, "a fresh landing has been successfully effected and consid erable progress made." This landing evidently was a surprise to the Turks, aa 630 rjrlsoners. a number of. guns and a quantity of material are declared to have been taken by the British forces. A Turkish official report sup plies the localities of two landings. Ac cording to this, forces were put ashore in the environs of Karachali. a town on the road which skirts the north shore of the Gulf of Saros. opposite the neck of the Galllpoll Peninsula.

It Is believed that four or five airships took part in the raid. The Austro-Germans are slowly clos ir.tr in nn ttiA fwirttons of the Russian nrmlea which remain on the Polish sa. lient.

The rsArmnna alan have cantured the fort ress of Lomza, and southeast of this olace are approaching the river Bug, while other forces of them have reached from its mouth to a point south of Ostrov.

BRITISH RECOVER GROUND IN BELGIUM Gain Made on Front of Thousand Yards. ARTILLERY PREPARES WAY Trenches Lost by Gas Attacks All Won Back. 250 PRISONERS ARE TAKEN Hooge Covered With Shells All Day as Artillery or Both Sides Con tinues Duel Offensive Most Important In Weeks. BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Aug. 9, via London, Aug. 10. By an attack on Hooge today the British not only recovered all the trenches which they lost before the flaming German gas attacks on August but gained more, taking a front of 1000 yards. Altogether this has been the most Important offensive action in weeks. The British guns preceded it by shell ing the German positions on a part of the line in the Yser Canal region, north of Ypres, yesterday, to which the Ger mans replied in kind. Including the heaviest shelling received by the ruins of Ypres for two months. British Guns Vnlooae Thunder. At 2:30 o'clock this morning British guns unioosea ineir inunuer uu mo German trenches at Hooge In front of Ypres. For two hours this continuous roar was kept up before, at dawn, the British infantry rushed the German trenches at Hooge. British officers said the resistance was surprisingly light and eirtier the artillery preparation was most success ful or the German line must have been weakly held. All through the day the artiuery ot both sides continued covering the re gion of Hooge with shells, which were visible over the flat country to the As sociated Press correspondent, while the British were busy consolidating their gains and preparing against any counter attack. ISO Germans Captured. The British took 150 prisoners and ' two machine guns. The gain is admitted in the report issued today by the German headquar ters staff, which says: "East of Ypres strong British forces succeeded in taking possession of the western part of Hooge. "Mine explosions in the neighborhood of the hamlet of Beausejour in the Champagne were without result. "On the border of Hars forest, west of Verdun, a French observation bal loon was shot down. Between Bellln- gen and Rheinweiler, a French aero plane was forced to land by the fire of our anti-air craft. French Lose Foer Aeroplanes. The Paris War Office in Its report to night tells of the loss of four aero planes. It says: "Four of the aeroplanes which took part In the bombardment of Saar bruecken failed to come back to our lines. One of them Is said to have landed In Switzerland, near Fayerne. In the district of Vaud." The earlier French report today says that the Germans attempted vainly last night a gas attack In the Artois district. It also aays: "In the forest of Le Pretre the enemy after a violent bombardment attacked at about 8 o'clock yesterday evening our trenches In the vicinity of La Croix-des- Carnes, but they were checked by a cur tain of Are, from the French troops. During the night a further attack, ac companied by a bombardment of shells containing asphyxiating gases, also was checked by our artillery." PART OF GROT-TXT ABANDONED Artillery Makes Trenches Untenable by Other Side. LONDON, Aug. 10. The British to day found if impossible to hold part of the ground won yesterday, but con solidated their positions in Hooge. Belgium. The report of Field Marshal Sir John French received here tonight and dated today says: "Northwest of Hooge and in the ruins of the village Itself we have con solidated the ground gained yesterday, repulsing one weak infantry attack during the night. Yesterday afternoon there was nd Infantry . fighting, but there was a violent artillery engage ment, as a result of which all the trenches in the opening ground south of Hooge became untenable by either side, and we have now slightly with drawn the position of our line which lay south of the village. "This makes no material difference to our position. "The total number of prisoners cap tured by us yesterday was 150." WORK ON F-4 IS RESUMED Preliminaries to Raising Submarine Are Begun Again.
