v PAN-AMERICAN PLANS
Secretary Lansing Outlines to Ambassadors and
Msnj?ters Form of "One For All; All for
One" Latin-Americans Said to
Like It.
HICKORY, N. O, THURSDAY "EVENING DECEMBER 30, 1915
Price Two trails
(By Associated Tress.)
Washington, Dec. 30. Secretary
Lans::. has suggested to all the na
tions which have representatives at
the Pan-American Scientific Confer.
f;Hv here that they join in arbitra.
tjyn ( f all boundary disputes and for
tiK. prohibition of shipment of arm;.
;uvl ammunition to revolutionists.
St 'i ctary Lansing's proposal-, which
ha? the full support of TresMent
Wilson, is being forwarded by Latin
Am riian ambassadors and ministers
hoiv to their home foreign offices.
It is regarded as one of the wide plans
,f which the Pan-American Congress
hi" i' i Part for tne closer union of
oiur.u-ios of this hemisphere.
The status of the negotiations and
tl.,; details of Secretary Lansing's
r: ,.;! :sal are being held as confidential
ir'.woen the state department 'and
Latin-American representatives
hue. The delegates and Mr. Lansing
ileelared they could not discuss a mat
ter which was in a preliminary stage
and under advisement by their gov
ernments. It became known, however, that
after i 3etary Lansing made his
Pan-American speech before the Pan
American Congress, "one for all; al
for one," he began inviting Latin
American representatives to the state
department one by one and outlined
to them his proposal. The secretary't
proposal caused great interest among
the Latin-Americans, because it pre
posed that all the American govern
ments unite to repulse any unjust in
vasion of any country on this hemis
phere. It is understood the Latin
Americans expressed their approva'
of Mr. Lansing's plan.
The technical form of Mr. Lansing':
suggestion was not disclosed today,
but it took the form of a memorandum
to the diplomats, and was such as
could be submitted to their home governments.
DISSENSIONS IN A
CABINET OVER DESTROYED
CONCRIPTS IN ASIATIC
(By Associated P.ess.)
London, Dec. 30. The Daily Ex
press today asserts that there is a
group of at least three Unionists in
the cabinet led by the Earl of Sal
borne, president of the board of agri
culture, who are likely to resign be
cause Premier Asquith's plan for a
modified form of conscription does not
?ofar enough. These men do not br
ieve it is right to force all sing'e
.ien to serve in the army when there
a large proportion of married msr
ivailable for service, the prper says.
The Express therefore anticipated
a fair crop of resignations among the
upporters of voluntary enlistment
.nd determined conscriptionisti, but
:ays the resignations will not be se-
ious enough to imperil the existence
f the government. The paper also
says that the Earl of Derby, direc-
or of recruiting, will find a place in
ho cabinet.

Vienna, Dec. 30. There is a second
king in Europe without a kingdom,
as a result of the war. Peter of
Serbia is today no better off that the
king of the Belgians. Karageorgo

troops. His two capitals, Belgrade
and Nish are in the hands of the in

that he had taken the place of a man
who had ben foully murdered. Only
a few sovereigns consented to meet

in the presence of strangers that he
u-mlly shunned them. .
King Peter's family, it is said, is
of Cvpsy origin. The original Kara
gmrovitch, or "son of Black Georg2,
however, was a shepherd. King Pet?r
himself spent much of his life in Swit
zerland where the summons co Serbia 3
ill-fated throne reached h;m.
Shortly after his election to the
kingship, Potor entered into close re
lations with the Russian crown. A
large annual revenue was settled up
on h'm with the understanding that in
all matters afTeeting Serbia's foreign
policy he was to keep Russia'3 inter

party made such a course by Russia
