caused Secretary Bryan to lnrortn Presi-
dent Wilson that the prospects for restora-
tion of permanent peace In Mexico were
to is liter than at any time since tbe over-
throw of Madero by Huerta.
The light or all advices both from Mexico

dent that the new upheaval threatened
by the breach between Villa and Carrania
will be averted by the lattor's retirement
as nrst elder or tne constitutionalists ana
the election or Fernando Iglesias Calderón
as provisional president.
Conference May Agree on Calderón.
Tbe suite department was notified today
ttial the peace commissioners appointed by
the two chiefs would hold their meeting
at Torreón tomorrow. This gave rise to
he hope that the conference would bo
able to agree upon Calderón as the pro-
visional president In Ume to bave their
action placed berore the convention to be
held at Mexico City Thursday October 1
to set up tne new government.
Iieniand for Religious Liberty.
It Is understood that one of tbe first
matters to ue Drousnt io me aiienuou of
tne provisional president when be is elected
will be the attitude of those now In power
toward tbe catholics. A demand ror run
religious liberty for all American citizens

may be is as unwitting a tool in this as was Orozco in his fight against Madero."
General Carranza asks General Villa s chiefs to demand the retirement of their leader as com-
mander of the northern division of the army in view of his Carranza's willingness to retire if the
army so votes.

By the AtmeAoted Prett
Washington Sept. .ma desire on the
part of British officials to be relieved of
responsibility for docllnlng to entertain
proposals looking to the restoration or
pea in Europe la believod by the slate
department heads to be tbe explanation or
dispatches from London saying Great
Britain will be glad al tbe proper moment
to accept the good ofrices or the liilled
Stales to that end.
British orrtclals. as well as the public
In England have taken notice of many ap-
peals for peace proposals that have been
directed to President Wilson rrom tarlous
sources lu He- I'niled Stales. As believed)
here the British officials are keenly ap-
preciative of the correctness or Uie motives
of the people and are reluctant to be placed
In the position or rejecting any overtures.
At tbe same time while officials here be-
lieve the British government Is multe wlll-
Ing to have It unofficially known at the
proper time It will welcome peace over-
tures they think that time as indicated
recently by Sir Edward Grey will nol ar-
rive until the conflict has been so decisively
settled that there la no longer a possibility
of tbe same issues ariaing again
In diplomatic quarters Ihe attitude of
London orriclaia as ouUlned In today's dls-
patches was regarded as giving a much
more encouraging outlook ror the ultimate
accomplishment or peace.
It Is fall Ihat the nrst prerequisite is Io
bsve England France and Itussls. tbe
nations which have signed an agreement
binding themselves not to make peace
separately consider among themselves
some baals Tor treating with the other
powers with which they are si war.
The suggestion from London or a treaty
requiring .European nations to submit their
mutual dirrcreiires to the arbitration or the
t nlted Slates Is thought to be an out-
growth of Secretary Bryan's peace treaties
recently signed with England. Prance and
many other countries. The essential res-
lures of these treaties Is In redlining a
veor'a time for ihe discussion of a dispute
berore rtsort to war. In some diplomatic
quarters 'he view prevnUed ibat this

between European powers so that initiative
