PEACE APPEAL
FROM GERMAN
SOCIALIST PARTY
Full-Pane Proclamation Published in

BHItLlN, .Mine 2fi. Tho managing
committee of the nodal democratic
party In Germuny bus canned to bo
published In Tlio Vorwaefts n full
pago appeal for peace. It asserts
that although 'Germany was attacked
by greatly superior forces, she has
demonstrated that she Is uncon
querable and in tho namo of human
ity should take tho first step for
peace. Tho pcoplo want peace, the
appeal declares. Opposition of tho
party to territorial conquest Is
clearly stated.'
I'oivsinv the War
Tho appeal Is published under
tho beading "social democracy and
peace." It begins with a reference
to tho fact that tho. socialists fore
saw tho war. They worked vainly
for an international understanding,
but when war did como they placed
themselves at tho disposal of the
fatherland. It then refers to the
declaration of tho party In tho Reich
stag, August -I, 1914, which said:
"Wo demand, as soon as safety has
boon secured and our opponents nro
Inclined to peace, that tho war bo
brought to mf end through n peace

nothing bearing on tho reported oc
cupation of Mexico City by Carranza
troops, but announced General Car

non-combatants in case of flgbtlng
there. Tho department summarized
Its advices In this statement:
Icm1 incut. Statement
"Tho department Is In receipt of
advices from Vera Cruz to tho effect
that General Carranza has given as
surances that In tho event of fight
ing In the City of Mexico tho Inter

no definite reports concerning the
operations of General Carrqnzn's
forces outside of Mexico City, but It
would nppear from tho meager re
ports received thnt General Znpatn Is
preparing to offer resistance with his
artillery forces.'-'
Charles A. Douglas and Kllseo Ar-
rendoiido, representatives hero of
General Carranza, left today for
Vera Cruz, Mexico, to confer with
tho fjrst chief. It Is understood
that tho object of their mission Is to
acquaint Genernl Carranza with the
viewpoint of the American govern
ment as outlined recently by Presi
dent Wilson In his statement to tho
leaders of tho warring factions In
Mexico demanding an early restora
tion of peace.
Try for Itecoiicllliillon
It was also understood that V
Carranza representatives would en
deavor to bring about a reconcilia
tion between tho coiiHtitutlounllHt
leader and tho Villa nml Zapata fac
tions. General Carranza thus far,
howovor, has refused all peace over
tures of Genernl Vllln. It Is bo
lluved that Genornl Carranzn's repre
sentatives will tell him thut he must
show a conciliatory spirit toward his
opponents boforo ho can hopo for tho
moral support of tho American gov
ernment. General Villa, In a mossngo dated
yesterday at Annas CallonteH and
