BEADY TO FIGHT FOR IT8 FREEDOM f Conventionist President Objects to ^Pressure"?Desirous of h Peace. Washington, June 18.?The United States government was informed today by Francisco Lagos Ohazaro, president of the Villa-Zapata convention government in Mexico City, that if President Wilson's recent warning to Meixcan factions to compose their differences should signifly "pressure or threat," the convention government "still narDoring me conscience 01 11s sacrifices, will maintain the dignity of theiMexican people." The communication, transmitted by the Brizilian minister at Mexico City, states, however, that the convention continues "to conjecture that the general idea of the government of the United States is to help us in a friendly way to bring to an end our fratricidal -struggle wihich would be for -the greatest good of the country." After declaring a willingness to mase peace witn tne uarranza iacuon tTie note says in part: "The conventionist government does not see, does not wish to see, in the substance of the declarations made by President Wilson anything more tfaan an advice, a friendly suggestion .to induce the contending groups to wipe out their differences and lead them into the path to tfce end pursued by the revolution. Some Close Reasoning. "Coming to the declaration that if we Mexicans can not settle our differences within a very short time the government of the American Union will find itself constrained to decide as to what means it shall use to bring it about, the conventionist government can not understand how President Wilson previously declares in tJbesame note that the United States does not desire or claim any right to settle the affairs of Mexico and more to the ** same effect. The same chief of the American nation made at Indianapolis the following categorical declarations: " 'I am proud to belong to a powerful nation which says that Mexico, wfaicrt we could crush, will enjov the same liberty in tfce management of its affairs as we enjoy. If I am strong I should be ashamed to dictate to the v weak in the measure of my strength. My pride consists in keeping my strength free and not in oppressing another people with it.' "If contrary to the interpretation which in the most friendly sense the conventionist government puts upon i icoiuciit rviiouu o uuLiaiauuiio, cxxio closing part should signify a denial of toe sympathy generously demonstrated to the Mexican revolution and should further signify pressure or threat, the conventionist government, still harboring "the conscience of its sacrifice?, will maintain the dignity of the Mexican people. Hope for Sympathy.

'The government is ready to bring about by all means consistent with its dignity the fusion of all the contending groups, to initiate all the economic, political and social reforms aimed at by the revolution and to es taDiisn a sirong, staDie government, with which all tendencies and all legitimate interests will find the fullest favor and enjoy the guarantees wfcich our fundamental law provides." This note from the convention government was drafted after conference with the Zapata leaders. The state department previously had received a .uvitr ui uitr same gem?rai cuaracier from Gen. 'Villa, which, while denying the right of the United States to intervene in Mexico, said that the suggestion for a unification of t)~e factions should he adopted. Proposals for peace are repeated in fbe Chazaro note but as yet no definite word has been received from Gen. Carranza as to his attitude. 5 TO PERPETUATE BRA YE ACT Campaign for Hood Monument Warm]y Approved.

I Washington, June 17.?Asserting that preparedness provokes rather t'.ian prevents war and tfcat the upheaval in Europe was a result of the false philosophy that "migi-t makes right," Former Secretary Bryan to-: day in a second of his series of three! statements on "the causeless war" submits an argument against military preparation by the United States and praises the course of President Wilson in the international emergency'. "If any nation is without excuse for entering into a mad rivalry with the belligerent nations in preparation for war it is the United 'States," says Mr. liryan. "We are protected on either side by thousands of miles of ocean and t):is protection is worth more to us than any number of battleships. "We have an additional protection in t'he fact, known to every one, that we have the men with whom to form an army of ^defense if we are ever at- j tacked; and it is known also that we would have the money too. "The leading participants in the present war are the nations tnat were best prepared and I fear it would i.'.ave been difficult for us to keep out of this war if we had been as well prepared as they. "Happy for our nation that we 'nave in the White House at this time a president who believes in setting the old world a good example, instead of following the bad example which it sets in this matter. What an unspeakable misfortune it would have been if the nation had been under the leadership of a president inflamed by the false philosophy which has p!uuged Europe into the abyss of war!" In discussing the cause of the European conflict, * iMr. Bryan in a lengthy analysis argues that it is no war of race, religion or families and declares: "If I have correctly analyzed the situation, the war is tfte natural result of a false philosophy . . , The fundamental precept of the false philosophy is that 'migO:t makes right.'" Leading up to his argument against preparation f-or war by the United States, Mr. Bryan says: "We dare not trust the peace of the world to those who spend tJ':eir time in getting ready for wars that ci-iv/uIU never cumc. " How can preparedness prevent war if all prepare? Each step taken by one nation toward more complete preparedness excites the other nations to additional purchases or new levies, until all have exhausted their productive industries and menaced their moral progress. "The doctrine that preparedness will prevent war will not stand the | test of logic and t' -e conflagration in j Europe shows that it fails when tested by experience." PERISH TOGETHER Lieut R. A.
