The British press, busing on its opinions on I'ctrogrnri despatches anil the lack of reports to the contrary from either Iterlin or Vienna, is in clined to tlio view thai the force of Grand Duko Nicholas retired from Warsaw virtually intact; hat there is an increasing disposition not to min imize thu seriousness of the situa tion as it still exists, and tin anxiety of the quadruple powers teems to he manfested in renewed pressure to lit hit? the Balkan states in line on thu side of tho entente powers, ('unison at liny Though still holding Novngcor gievsk, tho whole Russiun guirisnn remains at hay.

NW RECORD TO Brief Filed at Washington states That Carranza's Washington Agent Will Meet Any of the Other Fac tions in Peace Conference An nouncement Surprise to Diplomats. WASHINGTON, Aup. 7. On be half of General Curranzn a formal brief on tho Mexican situation was filed with Secretary Lansing today, praetieally asking for political recog nition and proposing that Carranza's Washington agents meet any of the other factions in a pence conference. The brief submitted bv Charles A. Douglas, General Carrnnza's Ameri can counsel, sets forth the formal suggestion of a peaeo conference in the following language: Suggest Conference "We have in Washington Mr. Ar redonrio, in the capacity of n special representative of the Constitutional ist government and at this time- Mr. Cabrera, n member of Mr. Cnrran zu's cabinet, is hero. They aro men of fine ability and excellent charac ter and aro nnxious to servo their country in tho highest and best sense. Hither or both of them, I nm as sured, will be glad to confer with any clement of tho exican people, with a view to furthering the common interest, the peace and hto welfaro of (he nation." No other stntcment was given out for publication. Claims for Itcrognltloii Mr. Douglas includes in his brief tho substance of a recent conversa tion, with General Cnrranzii on the subject of compromise or the bcIcii tion of a neutral man as provisional president, pending tho resumption of constitutional order. He qtintos General Carranza at length in ela boration of tho contention that the purposes of tho revolution must be accomplished as were measures pro mulgatcri by inilitarv rieereo to be ratified later by tho congress nnri that tho revolution would be defeated by the immediate restoration of tho con stitution. Figures mid arguments arc pre sented outlining tlio aims of revolu tion on agrarian reform, popular edu cation, municipal self-government and tlio workings of tho law, Othor statistics were presented to show tho extent of General Carranza's con trol of more than 'half tho territory and niuc-lenths of the peoplo nnd tho progress of pacification in the wake of Carranza armies. Surprise to Diplomats After an outline of General Car runzn's qualifications-, tho brief says he admits Mexico can scarcely pros per without the co-operation of tho United States and says thnt if rec ognized, tho United StatoB will find in him "an active, loyal friend." The proposal of a conference camo as a surpriso not only to tho repre sentatives of tho other Mexican lac tons, but to American officials who have been led to believe Hint Gcnornl Curranza was irrevocably opposed to any futther parleys with his adver saries. The reluctance of General Carranza to come to nnv peace. ne gotiations was one of the first ob stacclos whiolt confronted tho Pan American riiplomats whon they begun tlicir conference with Sccietary Lntis- ing. tA t FREEDOM PLEDGE WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.

NEUTRALSOUGHT AS PROVISIONAL MEXICAN CHIEF United States Announces Views of Mexico Considered at Pan-American Conference Leader Soujjht Opposed to Hucrta But Not Allied to Any of Warrlnn Factions. WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. Tho Mexican situation moved forward to day with two important develop ments. General Cnrrnnza signified his willingness to meet his adversaries in n penco conference nnd nn author itative announcement was mndo of. tho viows with which tho United States is approaching the problem in tho Pan-American conference. Tho position of tho United States wns of ficially Btaleri ns follews: Unlteil States Position That neither Carranza nor nny .olher military faction in Mexico is in control of tho country or can bo considcrcri ns triumphant in tlio re public. That tho real purposo of tho revo lution wns accomplished n year ago when Hucrta was overthrown. Thnt it considers General Villa, whilo financially weakened, still is an netivo element in Mexico's affairs who must bo reckoned with in an nri justment. Thnt tho Ro-cnllcri Cienlificos do not enter into tho probldm now bo- caiiso it is oonsiricrcri that tho over throw of Iluortu riisposeri of that clement. That tho great portion of Mexico is not nt pence ns General Carranza claims, because fighting continues in many sections from Telumntepoo to tho llio Grnnrio nnri from Vera Crur. to Mnznflan. Keek Provisional President That tho first problem to ho solved in restoration of pence is to find for provisional president a man who rep resent tho cause of tho original revo lution ngninst Huorla, but wjio docs not nccessnrily represent any of. tlio factions now nt wnr. This ountlino is tho first nuthori lativo fitatcment of tho basis upon which tho United Slates is proceed ing. Gcnornl Cnrrnnza brief, filed with tho stato riopnrtmcnfby his Amoricnn counsel Chnrlos A. DougliiB, not only proposcscs a penco conforonco with his adversaries, hut practically asks recognition. No Lender Dominant It was mndo clear today that tho United StntcB, wliilling to entertain olniuiB of tho rival leaders, such as presented in tho brief filed on bo half of General Carranza, does not nccepl the declaration of any of tho military leaders that they aro fio dominant hh to insure penco in Mexi co should they be recognized. Curranza, it is held, cannot ho considered in control of the situation any moro than othor leadors, oven though ho mny hold moro torntory be causo Villa's forces and Zapnta'n bauds still aro operating. Tlio I.atin-Aincriciin diplomats aro said to sharo the view that a stable government can bo established only by selecting u mnn who represented tho cnuso of tho original revolution against Iluoriii nnd ono upon whom the loudcrs now nt wnr could unite.
