Hope for a ;ful settlement of the controversy ?en the United .States nnd Mexieo ; interests of Pau-Amricanism was sscd by Dr. Komulo S.

His statement follows: "I have made no offer, but it is un necessary to say that tho Argentine government is always disposed to work for the peace of America. "Pan-Americanism, which is vital for all tho countries of the continent, whether great or small, strong or weak, makes wnr between two American na tions utterly inconceivable. I am, in candor, confident that the present crisis will be peacefully settled. We must make evident that no matter how great the differences between two American governments, the continental interests or guion and concord are supreme aud inconsistent without recourse to viol ence as a means of settling interna tional disputes in America. "The Argentine people nnd govern ment are following this conflict with deepest concern and notwithstanding the acuteness of tho crisis, I bolievc that the inspiration of a sound, far sighted political sense will prevail in these hours so full of peril for the des tinies of the continent." Prices Were Irregular and Trading Light Now York, June 28 The New York Evening Sun financial review today said: lkirelv more than a nominal market prevailed in Wall Street for the great er part- of the session on the stock ex change today. Public buying was re duced to n minimum', as a result of the supposed imminence of General Carranza's reply to the ultimatum de manding the release oi the imprisoned cavalrymen and the trading was left entirely to the professionals, who seemed unable ,t0 determine their spec ulative course. . Thus, while the traders appeared as buyers at the outset, they shifted their position and workedfor reaction in the later dealings. Following a quiet i slight and irregular price changes, specialties moved up a point or so, but. there was uo vigor in the trading. Possibly because the general list showed no signs of continuing the race, the trading element reversed its position around mid-day, utilizing an unverified report that the Mexican re ply had been received to depress the Mexican issues and industrial special ties. About the only exception" to the general heaviness in the early after noon was found in copper stocks. Re actions aud lecoveries alternated in the! Inter dealing. DIED AT 105 Binghnmton, N.

How Militia Moves Today Forty -Six Big Locomotives Waiting In Chicago Yards Chicago, June 28. -Fori y-six big loco motives waited in Chicago railroad yards today to speed eastern militia regiment toward the border. The train crews were ready to speed up the remainder of the troop trains from the eastern roads to the lines that will transport the militia on another leg of their journey toward Texas. The trains from the east, however, were moving more slowly than antici pated and it appeared likely that none would reach Chicago before late after noon. At 1 a. m. the New York Central dispatcher said the trains currying New York militia, the first expected to ar rive here, would not leave Toledo until MulO a. m. Arrangements for handling -Hi trains within the next 2 hours were complet ed by a joint board of railway operat ing officials. None of the trains, so far as c.oild be learned, were to be brought into the city, all being trans ferred in outlying yards with as little delay ns possible. To relieve the trunk lines between Chicago and the bonier of immedinte congestion, most of the east ern troops were to be transferred her first to Chicago-Ht. Louis and Chicago Kansas City lines for re-transfer at those points to tho border trunk roads. Where They Will Oo.

By Ed L. Keen. (United Press stuff correspondent.) London, June 28. Interest in the ex pected grand offensive of the allies shifted temporarily today to tho situa tion in the Balkans, with the revival of reports that Rumania is preparing to join the allies. A heavily censored Bucharest dis patch, telegraphed via Athens, reported that Bulgaria had closed her frontier against Rumania. Bulgarian troops were reported to be concentrating along the Rumanian frontier. The Kveuing News received ft Buch arest dispatch reporting that the Ku maniau cabinet, at a special sessiou, took certain steps as a result of Bul garia's movements. Kumanian mili tary chiefs participated in the cabinet conference. Vienna reports received nt Amster dam said the Bulgars are uneasy be cause Greece yielded to the demands of the allies. They fear not only thut ex-Premier Venixelos will return to power, swinging Greece to the sido of the, ullies, hut that both the Ruman ian and Greek army may turn against Bulgaria, invading from opposite sides while tho Austro-Gernians are busy on other fronts. Berlin dispatches today were silent oa the latest Balkan developments, but laid heavy emphasis on the continued bombardment of Gorman lines opposite the British front. The cannonade, Ber lin believes, is a systematic attempt to wreck German defensive works in pre paration for a great infantry onslaught. Correspondents in Switzerland report ed today that the success of the Rus sian and Italian offensive is causing the direst consternation in Vienna. The Austrians are clamoring for the aband onment of the Verdun offensive by the Germans and the sending of more troops to the Austrian 'front. No Gains at Verdun. Tnris, June 28.

STARVING PEONS TOLD CAN GET FOOD BY TAKING EL PASO Prospect of Loot Is Held Out As Bait to Former Villistas SEVERAL BANDITS HAVE RETURNED FROM CUBA Fourteen Refugees Stopped 100 Feet From Line Near Nogales Fl Paso, Texas, June 28. -The hope of looting El l'ni.o buoyed the half starved and poorly clothed peons of Carranza's northern army today. Reports from in terior Mexico declare the Chihuahua soldiers of the de facto government have been told by officers thnt ns soon as they reach El Taso they will have plenty of food. Several prominent mining men ar rived in El Paso from Purrul, after nar rowly escaping being mobbed nt Santa Rosalia and again at Chihuahua. Anti American demonstrations were held in several towns as the Americans' train was passing through. The presence of armed Carranzista guards prevented the mobs from dragging the Americans off tho train. The refugees were T. O. Hawkins, Jr., A. M. Morris, H. A. Buick and II. C. Highley. They reported heavy .Mexican troop movements northwnid estimating that 10,000 Cnrrunza soldiers were eu route to I hihunhua from southern points. This would bring the total strength of the de facto government's armies in the state to over !.", 000 men. m Will Got Hot Welcome. . Plans have been made by the Amer ican force in El Paso for spoiling the re ported looting party. General George Bell, Jr., commanding .ViOO troops at Fort Bliss, is known to have prepared, iu the event of wur, plans for crossing the ltio Grande, securing tho two Mex ican lines which terminate iu Juarez nnd moving on to Villa Ahumnda and Chihuahua. If any opposition is offer ed by the small garrison left in the Mexican city after the principal Car rnn.a forces evacuated it, Juarez will be levelled. The American 4.7 guns overlooking Juarez from the mesa back of Kl Paso could lay the adobe town iu ruins within 30 minutes, army officers estimated. The prospect of looting El Fnso is reported to have been strongly held out to former Villistas, who were urged to join the Carranzista armv. With the promise of amnesty, recruiting officers are rallying every possible element to Carranza 's standard, Outlaws Recalled. General Castillo, who planned the Cunibre tunnel disnster in which a score of American travelers met their deaths; General Manuel Batida, who once sold out the Villista garrison in Juarez to j the Carranzista generals, and Jose Flores, another former Villista lender, ' are reported to have reached Chihuahua ' from exile in ( una.

The govern ment is redoubling its efforts to get Americans out of Mexico before pos sible trouble begins. Under direction of the state, wnr and navy depart ments, strongest persuasion is being used in those who insist upon remain ing in Mexico "until the last minute." Administration officials today criti cised the attitude of these Americans. Hearts indicate most are on the west ern const of Mexico. By remaining contrary to the advice of President jWilson, it is deelnred they are sub jecting themselves to grave danger. Orders have been sent by Secretnry Baniels to Admiral Wiuslow to urge those hesitating not to wait. Tho reason for many Americans re fusing to leave is the strong feeling prevailing in many Mexican cities that there will be no break between the United Slates and Mexico. Seventy Americans, including 21 de tained in Guanajuato, left Mexico City for Vera Cruz, in a special car yester day, according to a message from Con sul Rodgers to th state department toibv.
