ALL FACTIONS ASKED TO COOPERATE IN MOVE MENT INTERVENTION TO BE LAST RESORT U. S. Would Recognize Peaceful Element and Extcicd Activ? Assistance. Washington. Juno 2.-President Wilson, in tho name of the knited State:; government, today publicly call* ed on all factions in Mexico "to ac commodate their differences" ano^sel up a government which can b?^BTc corded recognition. Failure to unite In a movement to bring peace to Mexi co within a very short time, it was announced in the statement telegraph ed to Carranza. Villa. Zapata and others, would constrain the United States to deride what means should be employed to save tho people of tho southern republic from other devasta tions of internal warfare. The statement In Interpreted as meaning that the Knited States would bring "rcBsurp to hour first to unite the factions in thc choice of a pro visional pr?sident. Failing to bring all elements together the United State;i would ,glvc active support to those elements which did agree. Ultimate Intervention ls considered possible, but only If a hopeless condition of an archy ls followed with no remedy from within the republic. The Btatement marks a new depar ture in the United Staten policy to ward Mexico. It was decided on af ter conferences of tho president and cabinet to study thc reports of Duval West, who investigated conditions. Foreign nations wera iakon Into the confidence of tho United tSates. an?1. European diplomats who would ex press themnelven indicated their ap proval of the plan. ? The statement started a variety of speculation regarding the govern ment's future plant.. Washington. June 2.-President Wllson'B warning to Mexico that thc United ntates can not permit present conditions to continue wont forward by telegraph, todav to American agents who will deliver it to thc fac Uonal leaders. At the same time the statement made public at the White Hons,, that tho communication which goes to Carranza. Villa. Zapata and Gatza. the principal Mexican leaders, ls not sent as a diplomatic note from the United Staten, but as a declara tion of President Wilson's -attitude, which is expressed in the statement, to thc American people. In part lt says : .'For more than two years revolu tionary conditions ha\'e existed in Mexico; The purpose of the revolu tion was to rid Mexico ot men who Ignred the constitution of the re publ.c and used their power in con tempt nf the rights of its people. With these purposes the people of the United States Instinctively and gen erously sympathised. But the lead ers of the i evolution, in the very hour of their success, have disagreed and turned their aims aga.'nst one another, all professing the same objects. They nevertheless are un able or unwMling to co-operate. A central anthe rlty at Mexico City ls no sooner set up than it is undermined and its authority denied hy those who are expected to support lt." The president then points out that Mexico is apparently no nearer a solution of her troubles than when the revolution started, that there Is no proper protection for eltber her own citizens or those of other nations In ber" territory and that "Mexico ls .starving and without government." The statement continues: "In th-..o clrcr.mstauces the people and gov*tn - mont of the United States can not stand IndlfferVntly by and do nothing to ?erve; thelAneigh'oo!*. They want nothing for themselves in Mexico. Least of all do they desire to settle her affairs for her. or claim any right to do so. But neither do they flBb to see utter ruin come upon cr and deem lt their duty es a friend snd neighbor to lend any aid \hey properly can to any Instrumentality which promises to be effective in bringing about a settlement, which will embody the real objecta of tho revolution, constitutional government and the rights of the people. . "It IB time, therefore, that the gov ernment of the United States shonld frankly state the policy which in these extraordinary circumstances lt becomes ita duty to adopt. It must presently do what bas not hitherto done or feel st liberty to lend Ita ac tive moral support to some man or group of- men, lt such may be found, who can rally the suffering people nf Mexico to their support In an effort to ignore, if, they can not unite, the warring factions of the country, re ^cx:?Wf?l?ir?r'6irPAW^x:; FIGHT FOR HE AV IE STUBBORN BATTLE FOR P( TINUES WITH UNABATED ADVANTAGE-TUR IN GAI London. June 2. -The hattie for Przemysl. one of the most stubborn and sanguinary struggles of the war. continues with unabated fury. Both sides have poured reinforcements in to the field, their losses reaching an unprecedented number. The Gormans and Austrians claim some forts on the northern front have fallen and that on the southeastern Pent their troops are progressing toward the railway joining thc fortress with Lem berg.

PRZEMYSL ST OF WAR OBSESSION OF FORTS CON FURY-BOTH SIDES CLAIM KS ATTACK ALLIES JJPOLI Bulgaria wants certain territorial grants from Rumania and there arc reports that Rumania baa agreed, with the understanding that Hulgaria declares war on Turkey. As yoi there is no ofliclal confirmation of these advances. The German pre?s is ahnwing some indications of anxiety ovr the situa tion. Thc Frankfort Zeitung has called for concessions to prevent Ru manian intervention. Vienna has been informed that Germany, pour ing out her blood and treasure in the struggle, must bc listened to and that Austrla-ilur.crary must be prepured to make certain sacrifices to meet thc Rumania demands. British observera consider lt signi ficant that three of the opposition leaders of the Hungarian parliament have demanded and bren granted a conference with Emperor Francis Joseph for a statement of opinions which can not bc uttered in parlia ment itself. The status of military oneratlons In Galicia ls further confused by thc latest Russian olficinl report. Petro grad claims, the Russians repulsed their opponents north of Przemycl with enormous losses for the Austro Germ?n*?, while Berlin and Vienna claim Important success. Consistent successes all a.t.ig the line are claimed by the Germans and Austrians, who state specifically that three forts north of Przomysl woro captured. The Russian war office acknowl edges that one fort was broken into, but declares the attackers were sub sequently expelled. ! On the western front the Belgian army is once more in thc thick ci the battle. A statement from thc Belgian war mlnlstrv indicates that the Ger mans are assaulting their portion of the front, it is said, however, that the Germans are unable to advance, and that they suffered from heavy firo of guns massed by the Belgians. CIRCULATE PEPON NEAL'S GREEK DIST. WANT COMPULSORY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE LAW IN THAT SECTION THREE METHODS Act Specifies Three Ways by Which the Act May Be come Law. It was stated yesterday by the coun ty superintendent of education that the petition which ls h Mug circulated tn the Neal's Creek school district for compulsory school attendance was be ing freely signed and that it was al- ] most a certainty that this would bc thes econd district to take this ou it self, Cleveland district having been tho first. There are three wayn In which this compulsory attendance law may put in force as follows: 1. Upon petition of the majority of the' qualified ?electors residing in tbe district. 2. Upon election after petition by one-fourth of the qualified electors residing lb the district. 3. Upon election after petition by a majority of the board of trustees of any district containing an Incorporat ed town of 1,500 Inhabitants. An will be seen from the above the adoption of compulsory attendanco in any district depends absolutely upon the co-operation of the people The law Simply means that ali children be tween the ages of 6 and 21 have the the right to attend tho local school of their district. But In the district/) the compulsory attendance law, children between the ages of eight and fourteen years will be required to attend the fours months In the country and the full term in town. Pupils under eight and above fourteen years of age will not be af fected. lt appears that the first method of ] adopting the law is the favorite in this county and really this loqks as be ing the best any wsy.
