WASHINGTON. Aug. ".
With General Carranza willing
tn talk peace and General Scott
enroute to urge Villa to be rea
sonable and to tell him h muy
gain consideration by compro
mising but will not be consid
ered ut ull If beaten, the Mex
ican outlook wan regarded as
hopeful in official circles. It
Ih believed Carranza and Villa
will be reconciled. If efforts to
thia end are. successful, the ad
ministration prefers that they
agree upon some third person
for provisional president and
pledge themselves to call a reg
ular election within a month
or two. This will give Carranza
a chance to run for permanent
president If he desire, and Villa
too, though this 1 not deemed
likely. Hut rather than upset
all the plans which have been
laid. It Is believed Carranza
would be temporarily recognis
ed. If necessary, If he gave re
quired guarantees.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. Genera!
Carrania Is willing to treat with Vil
la. It was announced at the state de
partment that Secretary Lansing had
been notified of the "first chief's'
willingness to open peace negotia
tions with Villa through Judge C. A.
Douglas, his Washington representa
tive. Lansing said he had not laid
carranza's proposition before the
l'an-Amerlcan conferees, but It was
regarded as significant that General
Scott was ordered to the Mexican bor
oer Immediately after It was receiv
ed. It Is generally believed Scott's mis
sion Is to confer with Villa to whom
he will suggest the advisability ol
negotiating with Carrania. Carran
za's' offer is In line with the. first
step of the plan for restoring peace
in Mexico as agreed upon by Lansing
and the South and Central American
envoys.

First Plans for

Made Last Night
;i:ni:ri, COMMITTEE. DlSt'lSS
ES EEATl ltES FOR ATTHAC
TIOX THIS YEAH.
Flist plana for the staging of
"Happy Canyon'' during Hound-up
week were, laid last evening when the
general committee, appointed from j
the Commercial association, met for
i rganizatlon and assignment of du
ties. Different departments werol
placed in the hands of different com-
mlttemcn nho w ill be permitted to j
choose such assistants as they may;
need.
The heads of the sub-comrulttecs
are practically the same as last year. I
J. V. Tallmart win be chairman of
the general committee with W. L.
Thompson as vice-chairman. The
I
program of enteVtalnment which will' Teutons are also at the gates of Ri
each evening preceed the opening of ga.
the "town" will be In the hands of
J Roy Haley, Frederick Stelwer an'.
lee 1). Drake. John F. Robinson
and Dr. D. X. Reber will superin
tend the games and other amuse'
nients of the "Red Dog Saloon'' and
George C. Baer, Osmer E. Smith and
Royal M Sawtelle will provide some
side-show entertainment, which 1 (
to he a new feature of the show this'
year.
O. A. Hartman. W. L. Thompsoa
and C. K. Cranston compose the fi
nancial committee and each will
have other duties, too. Mr. Kart
man will have charge of the usher
ing and seating. Mr. Thompson will
be general supervisor of the buildings
r.nd Mr. Cranston will look after the
admissions and the simulated cur
rency. The commissary department
will be In the hands of Mark Paton

show. Roy Alexander will be in con
trol of the big dancing pavilion and
Dr. Guy L. Boyden will be the ''king
pin of the ''saloons" and other re
ireohment booths.
Another committee meeting will
be held on Friday evening of net
week, at which time the assistants
In the various departments Will be
named. So large Is the undertaking
and so many the departments that a
great deal of assistance will be ne
cessary from among the business
men and high school boys.
May Have Fako Coins.
One main point of discussion last
evening concerned the proposal to
have imitation coins as the medium
of exchange this year Instead of the
simulated currency of last year.
Greater convenience In handling was
urged In favor of the coins and also!
a superior value as souvenirs. How
ever, their cost may bar their adop
tion. A committee was named to
secure prices on aluminum or other
metal coins. In the event that coins
are not used, curency similar to that
of last year, printed In gold rather
than .green, will be used. The pub
licity committee was authorized to
use the ISM currency In advertising
the 1915 "Happy Canyon."
A number of new features, such
as side shows, additional game rooms,
a town election, were discussed but
nothing definitely decided upon. AH
however, were united In their deter
mination to eclipse the great sueeesj
made out of the first show last year.

(Copyright 1915. by the United

ain.) WITH THE FRENCH ARMY AT
THE FRONT, Aug. 6, via Parla, Aug
If the Germans make good their
threat and attempt to smash through
the line of the allies to the channel
or upon Parts after taking Warsaw,
the greatest slaughter ever witnessed
by man will occur. The kaiser w'll
meet new Waterloo. This la th
opinion of every officer in the French
army, from generals down, with
whom I talked on a tour of the bat
tlefronts on the anniversary of the
tirst year of the war. They declare
they only fear the Germans will n t
try, knowing such an attempt would
play Into the hands of the allies. Fcr
the Germans, they say. It will be thd
beginning of the end.
"Such a drive will be predoomed to
failure.' one officer said. "Then,
weakened by frightful losses, the
kaiser's legions will be at the mercy
of the allies, who, with time working
to their advantage, have from the
first conserved their troops to this
nd, and largely thanks la du the
genius of General Joffre
Not only was this assertion made
repeatedly but with a trmnkness
which startled one who waa accus
tomed to the old time secrecy of the
early days of the war. French offi
cers, with General Joffre's permis
sion, threw cards upon a table, prov
ing at least to a layman that the on'y
disaster which awaits a new drive on
Paris or Calais is to the Germans.
