LONDON, Aftff. 7.--Holding the

now throwing their forces forward in
an endeavor to accomplish what Rus

armies.
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

Though still holding Novngcor

RECORD

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-

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.
