dent asserts positively that Argentina ac
cepted the invitation to loin the confer

there should be no discussion of Mexico s

ed officially that as the constitutionalist
government has never recognized any
diplomats accredited to former govern-
ments Ortega was expelled under the
provisions of article 33 as a pernicious
foreigner. It Is specifically charged that
he as an Individual took sides with' the
Zapatistas against the constitutionalists.
and also that President Estrada Cabrera
of Guatemala encouraged revolts in Mex

Many of the hinhest officials here have
expressed their strong disapproval of the
ill-advised speech which waa made re-
cently at a public meeting by a subordi
nate official an which the latter said
harsh things against foreigners in con-
nection with the ABC conference.
Tlie statements of this subordinate were
nor indorsed by any others and constitu-

world that ail foreigners will receive

details of such an armistice. He point-
ed to this meeting as an evidence of
harmony in tlie Villa ranks.
Indications are that tlie villa and Za
pata element are preparing to receive
favorably tiie appeal of the United States
and the- Latin-American governments.
They already are planning a peace con-
ference. Officials of tl.e American government
hope that many generals reported to be
partisans of Carranza ultimately will
give their adherence to a peace comer-
ence. To offset this impression the Car
ranza agency here today gave out a list
of generals including Obregon and Gon
zales who were reported to nave Tele-
graphed expressions of loyalty to Car-
ranza. The appeal signed by the diplomats
In New York yesterday. Is addressed to

CARRANZA DECLARED

General Carranza issued from Vera

mitted or contemplated against foreigners
within his jurisdiction. His message
said:
You may deny through the press mat

government offers and will give every
sort of guarantee to the citizens of other
nationalities exactly as to Mexican them-
selves for the protection of their lives

Foreign Minister Acuna cabled that the
demonstrations in Vera Cruz had bcn
merely manifestations of allegiance to
Carranza.
"The people protested said Minister
Acuna. "when they heard of the confer
ral being held in the United btates In
an endeavor to decide upon matters ex-
clusively In the province of Mexican sov

fested any hostility to. citizens of any na

ARGENTINA SENT REPLY
TO V. CARRANZA.
The text of a dispatch sent to General
Carranza 5y Benor Murature minister of
foreign affairs for Argentina In response
to a protest to the president of Argen-
tina by Carranza against foreign inter-
ference in Mexican affairs iollows:
The uresldent of the republic has rer
celved the telegram addressed to him dp
account of Ithe. conference held in Wash
ington between the secretary of state and
tlie representatives of various American
countries calling the attention of the Arr
gentinean government to the danger
which may result from a policy of Inter-
ference In the Internal affairs of that
country.
I am directed by the president to re
ply to you that the Argentinean govern-
ment in having a representative at that
confereace has done so not only in ac
cordance with Its traditional policy of re-
spect to other sovereignties but also to
reaffirm it In the case of a problem
which by affecting the destinies of Mex-
ico will equally affect the great Am erl-
can family. .

cause for alarm the Mexican people

tion and development ."
The appeal addressed by the seven gov
ernments takes the form of an inquiry to
determine which of the factions or ele
ments are willing to "rehabilitate the na
tion's sovereignty. Those elements which
respond will be considered as exponents
of national patriotism in Mexico while
those who refuse to enter into such a plan
will be Ignored.

tain when the Latin diplomats would be
ailed Into conference again. Most likely
the next session will be held "within three

days after the reception of the appeal be
fore considering any replies received.
BELIEVES SECRECY IS
BEST AT PRESENT.
In his letter proposing the peace con
ference dated August 9 the Villa agent
referred to statements in the Douglas
brief and said:
"if the above statements represent the
true attitude of the constitutionalists
government I am pieased to inform you
that Mr. Manuel Koni.la and myself in
behalf of General Villa and the conven-
tion government are disposed to confer
ith you and Mr. Camera at such place
and time as may be mutually agreed
upon in order to-discuss like good Mexi-
can citizens matters that so much con-
cern the national integrity. Since the
success or this matter depends on tne
bsolutely confidential nature of Its pro-
eedlngs. I believe it proper for me to
av to you that .Mr. esonma as wen as
nivself will up to the point when we
have reached the end sought and mutual
Iv agree upon publication of the results.
maintain the strictest secrecy toward
both the public and the press.
CARRANZA DECLINED
ANY CONFERENCE.
Mr. Arredondo replied immediately that
he had referred the matter to General
Carranza and in a letter dated today he
told of Carranza's answer as follows:
"The first chief of the constitutionalist
army Mr. Venustlano Carranza instructs
me to inform you that I must not accept
the conference which you proposed to me
in. your letter of th 9th Instant in the
name of General Villa and the conven-
tion because directly after the outrage
committed on the. 12th ultimo in the
neighborhood of Apizaco by the dyna-
miting of an undefended passenger train
in which perished women and children
the reactionaries have Just blown up an-
other train near the station of San Mar-
cos between the cities of Jalapa and
Puebla causing the death of unarmed
passengers and other innocent persons
and all the soidlers who were guarding
them.
"Therefore he does not deem It advan-
tageous to the interests of the constitu-
tionalist cause and to the objects of its
program which is that of establishing
and consolidating a government based on
the principles of order and security- for
persons and property and. generally on
the respect for all guarantees Wich Is
an Indispensable requisite and a funda-
mental condition of all governments to
enter Into compromises with the enemy
who instead o pursuing a noble end
recurs to acts of crime and destruction
which reveal an eloquent protest against
humanity and civilisation. And lastly
It is to the first .chief to whom those
who are directly disposed to submit to
the constitutional government should
directly present their propositions."
REPLY WAS SENT
TO FIRST CHIEF
In reply to this Mr. Llorenete wrote:
"I acknowledge receipt of your commu-
nication of today.
"The answer w hich you transmitted to
me in obedience to the orders of your
chief puts an end In my opinion to onr
correspondence; but I shall not close this
note without telling you that Inasmuch
as the national interest are at stake I
sincerely regret the procedure of Mr.
Carranza. whose lack of Justification is
made more noticeable by reason of
founding his refusal on the pretexts
cited by him and which are entirely
apart from the question. I also deplore

WAR MAY BENEFIT
COTTON GROWERS
Russian Industries Expected to Rec
ognize Value of Home Crop.
Production Has Been Steadily Grow.
in; for Fait Few Yean and the
Government It Encourag-
ing Industry.
(Correspondence of the Associated Press
From Pctrograd.)
One result of th war in th opinion of
economists and manufacturers here will
be to emphasize the value of Russia'
native cotton crop to her cotton manufac
turlng Industries and there will certainly
be renewed effort on the part of the gov
eminent to encourage the extension of
tne 'crop.
The government already has nlan In
hand for extensivo developments In this
direction both In Russian Turkestan and
In Trans-Caucasia those being the two
principal cotton growing districts.
in Turkestan cotton crowing is possible
only under irrigation which is supplied
by a number of rivers flowing from the
mountains Into the plains irrigation Is
said td have been Introduced here by the
i nines In the first century of the Chris
tian era and some of the old works are
still In existence. The government' plans
for further development In this region
Include extensive engineering works
which would nearly double the area at
present available for cotton cultivation
The area at present under cotton In
nussia is estimated at l.iio.uiHi acres i ne
average yield 1 very high being given
by one authority as not less than SOU
pound of lint per acre as against 200
pounds In America and 100 pounds In In-
dia. The best districts are said to yield
an average or about 45i pounds.
MPORT DUTY
HELPS GROWERS.
The development of cotton g growing
has been fostered by the high import
duty pf nearly 6 cents a pound upon im
ported cotton. The Russian cotton grow
lng districts are the most northerly cot
ton growing areas in the world being five
degrees further north than the limits of
cotton growing in the United States. The
native cotton is of rough staple similar
to Indian cotton but In Russia as in many
otner part of the world the cotton fam-
ine caused by the American civil war led
to attempts to extend the cultivation of
the plant and to Introduce foreign varie-
ties. Sea island seed was the first tried
but proved unsuitable. Later on trials
were made with American upland seed
which proved successful. It soon became
acclimatized and was generally adopted
wherever possible on account of Its su
perior oualltv and higher vield.
The Increase In the Russian croD Is
the most Important contribution to the
worm supply that has been made by any
country In the world with the possible
exception of China during: the present
century. In the further development of
new cotton areas there are two chief
considerations labor and transportation
LABOR SUPPLY
ALREADY SHORT.
The labor supply I already short and
the deficiency must presumably be Blip
plied by encouraging' Immigration from
other thickly populated parts of the Rus
sian empire. The Immigration is not
likely to be accomplished without diffi
culties for Turkestan only became Kus
sian about 60 years ago and the mixed
population still regard the Russian as an
alien conquering; race.
Better transportation facilities are
necessary not only to bring the crop to
market but also to provide wheat and
other supplies for the Increased popula-
tion. The basis for the necessary trans
portation is already tn existence how
ever both In Turkestan and Trans-Cau
casia. The Russian government has de-
elopcd a system of railways running
east and west throughout Turkestan
linked up with the Trans-Siberian line.
Trans-Caucasia also has some excellent
railways with similar connection with
the main Russian system.
The cotton crop of 1914 In Turkestan
and Trans-Caucasia is said to have been
the largest on record amounting to as
much as 1300.000 bales. Prices havt
been well maintained owing to the dif-
ficulty of obtaining supplies from abroad
and the Increased cost of transport from
Importation points.
ALLIES CANCELLED 20000000
BUSHELS GRAIN CONTRACTS
Mystery Surrounds Action Abroad
May Mean Dardanelles Is to
Be Opened.
(Aisociaitd Prist Retort.)
CHICAGO. August 12. After the close
of the board of trade today representa-
tives of the allies cancelled grain con-
tracts aggregating 20000.000 bushels of
wheat for September shipment. The
cause of the cancellation remains a mys-
tery.
George E. Marcy president of the
Armour Grain company who cancelled a
large number of wheat contracts said:
"I am unable to understand what has
happened abroad. It must have been
something Important or they would not
have cancelled purchases that now show
such profits and give them away. Pos-
sibly It I that the Dardanelles are to be
opened.
"If Europe doe not buy our wheat
freely It will mean much to us and make
a great deal or oiiterence in price.
England wants to hold her gold and by-
buying wheat In Australia and Canada
she can use her credits and keep her
gold to buy ammunition.

its capital from $100000 to $1. 000.000. Ih
a preliminary vote of stockholders by
proxy the proposition to issue the $900-
000 additional stock was approved. The
directors and friends of the Morris plan
have thus far already subscribed $40000
for the new stock. The business of the in-
stitutlon has become so large that it has
been necessary for the time being to dis
courage many persons from seeking loan -

The loan agents in New York have been
hard hit by the establishment of the Hor
