CARRANZA ACCEDE^ TO RE QUEST OF INTERMEDIARIES TO ACCEPT ME Cl AT I ON. I WILL STOP FIGHTING NOW United Slates and Huerta Will Agree : to Armistice and Carranza is Ex pected To Do So. i Wa sh i n got n.-Tho scope of media lion plans for the settlement of the ; Mexican crisis was suddenly broaden ed so as to int ludo I lie entire ranne i of Mexican affairs, not alone the eriti Icnl issue between the I'nited Slates j und the Huerta regime, hut also the conflict between thu elements of ? Northern and Southern l?xico which ! have rent the republic for many months. Tilts signal enlargement of the med- i lat ion program followed the receipt late in the day of a formal acceptance by General Carranza, chief of thc Con- j stltutionalists. of the principle of me- j illation, as proposed hy tho am ba ssa dor from Brnxll and the ministers j "rom Argentina and Chile. Already the United States and Gen- , pral Huerta had formally accepted the i .;ood offices of these South American envoys and now as a further step. General Carranza has been brought into the deliberations so as to draw every element and faction within the range of any settlement which may he attained. Earlier in the day the mediators | made another decisive move in asking 1 the United States and General Huerta j !o agree to an armistice by which all Aggressive military movements would be suspended pending the outcome | of the negotiations. The mediators confidently expect both sides to accept j the armistice proposal. A separate proposal for an armistice between ! Huerta and Carranza also .viii be 1 made, and with its acct all of the warrin?-; elements throughout Mexico as well as the American forces would maintain a military status quo. Tho American govern- i ment in its formal reply to the annis- | tice proposal will stipulate expressly ; thal any untoward act toward Amori- I cans will he regarded as an infraction | ol" the armistice. The South Ameri can envoys were in session lbrough- 1 out the day. Up to adjourn meal they lia?! progressed steadily on their filans and foresaw a definite stale ment wi;hin ibo next, few days of their conten? plated action. Du ria j" the evening the envoys individually coe.- ! ferret! with their colleagues in the diplomatic corps from Central und South America to lay before them what had been done and discuss the general situation.

There was a strom; belief in Parliamentary circles that conferences between leaders of the two great par ties soon would be resumed. ' The House of Commons discussed the elster crisis again when it wound up two days debate on Austen Cham berlain's motiiin for a judicial inquiry into the government's "plot" to crush the elster Covenanters. The motion which virtually was a vote of censure on the cabinet, was rejected hy a par ty vote of :\44 to Uti-L The growing belief that civil war in Ireland is a reality which cammi be escaped if the present home rule bill becomes law, seems to have in fluenced nu tubers on both sid?-s nf the house, as it has the newspapers. The press of both opinions recently has become more conciliatory in tone than at any previous stage of the dis cussion. Sir Edward repeated his offer that if Ulster were excluded from the bill "until this Parliament shall deter mine otherwise" instead of the six year period which Premier Asquith had offered, he would submit the proposal to the people of Ulster.
