OMAHA, LATIN AMERICAN | DIPLOMATS MEET STCRETARY LANSING Conference Adjourns After Session of Two Hours for Another Sitting This After- noon. NOTHING GIVEN OUT AT ALL First Conference to Consider ?reli-‘ dent Wilson’s Plan for Pacifi- cation of Mexico. | | FACTIONS WILL PRESENT CLAIMS | WASHINGTON, Aug. 65.— The| conference of Pan-American diplo- mats adjourned after more than two hours, to meet again tomorrow ! afternoon. Secretary Lansing re-| fused to divulge what had taken | place, saying the meeting was in-| formal and confidential, | Mr. Lansing laid stress on the in-| formal nature of the conference,| which he indicated might continue | some days. The Latin-American | diplomats, he said, had entered th01 conference on the understanding that its proceedings should be en- tirely confidential. WABHINGTON, Aug. 6.—The six Pan-American diplomats invited by President Wilson to join the Unlted‘ States in formulating a plan for re-| storing peace to Mexico arrived here | today for their conference with Sec-| retary Lansing. The first result is expected to be the ground work of an understand- | ing for an all-American project to re-establish constitutional govern- ment below the Rio Grande, preuarvej the sovereignty of Mexico and con-| vince the world that the United States is acting as Mexico’s nearest and most powerful friend and neigh- bor in saving the distracted country from itself. Ambassador Naon, Da Gama and Suarez of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, respectively, who were mediators at the Nlagara Falls conference last year, and Ministers Calderon, Mendez and De Pena of Bollvia, Guatemala and Uruguay, re- spectively, selected because they are the ranking members of the Pan-American legation ocorps, went to the State de- partment to meet Secretary Lansing at 2:30 o'clock: Plan Partly Outlined. The diplomats were only partly ad- vised of President Wilson's plan. The purpose of the conference was to invite their help in working one out. The gov- crnments already have signified their willl to co-operate in the work and after s conference, it is expected the Pan-American countries, in- clud , not represented in today's conference, will be asked to join in the work. 8o far as is known the president’s plan proposes, first, a cessation of warfare, establishment of provisional government by the factional leaders themselves; | should that fail, the American nation would assume the task.

APPEAL TO U. S. CONSULATE Care Taken that No Suburban Fac- tories Fall Into Hands of Invaders. GREAT SUGAR PLANT IS MZEDl MOSCOW (Via Petrograd and London), Aug. 4.—Hundreds of refugees from Warsaw are arriving | here daily. Most of them are with- out money or means of sustenance and are seeking aid at the American consulate, where an enlarged staff is attempting to supply temporary as- sistance, pending the organization of a Russian relief committee. The refugees state that although the | population of the Polish capital was con vinced that the Germans ultimately would oceupy the city, a majority of the citizens | elected to remain, only approximately /16 per cent to date having been lost to the city. This accounts for the {order and the absence of pancic which accompanied the exodus. Third-Class Tickets Free. | The German occupation from the first {seemed Imminent, the government lssued |an order that third class tickets to any | point in the Interior of Russia should be | glven free to all citizens desiring to de- part. The only condition attached by the | authorities was that residents so leav- |ing would not be allowed to return with- {out a special permit. | The abandonment of the city was so jcarefully planned and so systematically executed that an onlooker received the tmpression that a no more extraordinary phenomenon was occurring than the ordinary summer exodus. Sufficlent extra trains had been provided so that traveling conditions on the whole differed little from normal. An unusual feature of the present re- | tirement was the fact that provision | tickets were made unnecessary. The bulk of the refugees traveled on foot or with their wagons along the high- ways. Most of the refugees were unable | to proceed southward and to Kiev and { tinding the rallway to Vilna monopolized for military purposes they took the line to the east, temporarily crowding Mos cow, Viadova and Brest-Litovsk.
