toll from one of tho highest circles in
Germany in the death of Baron Von

Out Administration Holds It
Would Have Power To
Requisition For Itself
Washington, Aug. 13. Though
tho
administration holds it would be com
mitting an iinn.'utrnl act if the ship
ment of munitions to the allies were
stopped, officials are confident the
government could reipiisitimi nil muni
tions for itself with propriety,
This suggestion was mude todav in
connection with the statement from the
war. department that information is be
ing gathered as to the output of all
private munition factories, Tho state
ment concludes:
"The department does not now con
template purchasing any of the mate
rials rererrred to as it has uo special
funds for such purposes,"
' Interests desiring a modification of
the British blockade, relieving Ameri
can conimerco, saw in file word "now"
in this sentence a hint that purchases
by the government are contemplated in
the future.
Consoipicntly the question wns asked
whether the administration would de
cide to munitions itself, if the British
persist in interference with commerce,
and thus cut off shipments to tho al
lies. It was pointed out that the suf
fering exporting interests are so in
sistent upon redress that a serious po
litical situation is sure to develop un
less something is done for them, That
it could be done in thin way without
furnishing Croat Hrilnia with grounds
for complaints as being unneutral and
making reprisals, wns agreed. It was
conceded Hitch action would be taken
only ns a last result. It would fit in
naturally, however, with the plans for
national preparedness.
l,egal authorities today agreed that
the war department has authority to
make purchases of munitions and then
await a deficiency appropriation by
congress. Amiiiiinilion tor the army and
navy Is known tn be far below tljo rec
omniendatioiis of the service hoards.
An instance of this is cited in the const
artillery, which has a supply of 72 per
cent of the amount recommended as
its reset ve.
This condition, it Is asserted, fur
nishes ample ground particularly in
view of the preparedness policv tn re
quire private munition mnuutuctiircrs
to sell lo the guvei nnienl. instead of
abroad. While the I'nited States does
not need the immense orders pin I bv
the allies, If this government took the
American output tor unlv .10 to 00 days,

allies would suffer from this alone
would tiui'ii them the necessity of ac
cording better treatment to American

APPEAL IS ISSUED TO
WARRING FACTIONS
Hope Is Expressed By Officials That General Carranza Will
Agree Quiet Prevails at Vera Cruz-Feeling On Border
Is Tense But No Signs of Organized Outbreak Is Apparent-Villa
Willing To Be Eliminated On Certain
Conditions
By O. P. Stewart
Washington, Aug. 13. Tho peace ap
peal signed by tho I-atin-Ameiiciin en
voys and Socretnry of State Lansing
was ready for transmission to the war
ring Mexican factions today. Secretary
Lansing was uncertain wnetner no
would send it before tomorrow, and it
wns thought the text of tho communi
cation making a last attempt to bring
the belligerent leaders south of the Rio
(Irnndo together would probably be
made public Sunday.
Official reports reaching the war nnd
navy departments todny declared that
conditions along the border were in
vestigated and that quiet prevailed at
Vora Cm,, lu view of tho later re-i
ports it is certain tho battleships New
Hampshire and 1Oiiisinna will not go
to Vera Vim unless there 1b evidence of
serious danger to foreigners there.
With tho Connecticut they will bo held
probably at (luuiitnnnmo, awaiting de
velopments, General Villa's position.
General Villa today offered to elim
inate himself ns a factor in Mexican af
fairs. The manner in which tho revolu
tionary leader choso to announce his
willingness to retire came far from
clarifying mailers, however, owing to
a provision that tho "cientificos" shall
not be presented in any uew govern
ment that may be formed.
In a message through his foreign
minister, Diaz Lombnrdo, to the agency
here, Villa said:
"If peace conferences between the
fact ions reach a successful end, not only
tieneral Villa, but all civil anil inilitury
elements nffilinted with tho conven
tion party will be disposed to eliminate
themselves if necessary, with the singlo
condition:
''Thnt tho tni'ii whom nro placed in
charge of the new situation shall sol
eitinly agree to
restore constitutional
order and that they shall not bo drawn
from tho decadent nnd odious cientiflco
or reactionary party."
By implication (lennral Villa de
clared against the convention, which
tho administration has depreciated, but
regarded as necessary finally if order
cannot bo restored otherwise.
"I firmly believe in President Wil
sons good will toward Mexico nnd that

ntmed Intervention inasmuch as It has!
asked tho co nperntinn nf the Latin
American powers, including Argentina,
which is opposed to intervention," Vil
la's niVssngn continued.
"If President Wilson had planned In
tervention within a period more or less
remote, ho surely would not have in
vited Argentina."
In view of current tnlk that thn
stnte department now deeply regrets the
cnlliiiK of the Pnii-Anier'icun confer -
ernes because of fhn objection raised
by the conferees to intervention under
anv circumstances, many expressed the
belief this afternoon that, the Villa
communication was well studied and
meant more than it actually said.
