COME TO AGREEMENT
United States Forces to Remain in
Certain Area of Mexico
for Present
El Paso, May 2.--United States forces
will remain for the time being in Mex-
ico hunting for bandits, but they will
confine their operations to a definite
area,
Casas Grandes will be the base of
operations and the activity of the army
will be confined to the western part
of the state of Chihuahua. Their work
will have to do strictly with hunting
down bandits, i which they are to
receive the co-operation of the Car-
ranza government.
This is said to be the tentative
agreement reached this afternoon and
evening by General Scott and General
Obregon, representing the two gov-
ernments, in their conference at Hotel
Casa del Norte. General Obregon is
said to have opposed strongly any t-
tem'pt to keep the American troops in

efforts of the British empire since the
beginning of the war have exceeded

rison at Kut-el-Amara was not an act
of importance.
Premier Asquith also said he hoped
to give an early opportunity for the
discussion of the motion calling on the
resignation of Augustine Birrell, chief
secretary for Ireland.
After reviewing carefully the con-
ditions under which recruiting has
bee carried out, the premier said, it
had been decided that the men re-

STEAL 10 BASES DURING GAME
Michigan inflicted a 5 to 1 defeat
upon Ypsilanti yesterday afternoon,
errors of commission and omission
figuring largely in the visitor's down-
fall.
The Wolverines tallied three times
right in the initial stanza, although
they produced but one clean hit. Two
bases on balls and a fluke single, this
last coming as a contribution from
Caswell, proving sufficient. Michigan
literally ran wild on the bases, steal-
ing 10 sacks during the course of the
game, Captain George Labadie grab-
bing off four himself.

Walterhouse continued his sensa-

with a perfect average, the second

achievement in the last two starts.
The first two hits of the shortstop's
were the cleanest sort of drives, and
his final safety was a line drive to
short which the gentleman essaying
to play that position for the Normal
lads was unable to check successful-

ture of the Cercle Francais series,
which was delivered yesterday after-
noon in Tappan hall by Mr. Emerson
Christie, of the Spanish department.
The lecture was illustrated with
slides made from photographs taken
by Mr. Christie himself while he was
with the United States Ethnological
Survey. Types of the various tribes
were shown, some belonging to the
Mohammedan groups and others to the
Christian groups. There were also
photographs of uncivilized types.
Mr. Christie spoke in French, ex-
plaining each of the pictures and add-
ding illustrative incidents from his
own experience.

Writers Of Opera
Jusik Meet Today
Inaugurate Nev 'System in Writing
of Melodies; Scenarios
Due Saturday
In order to allot sufficient time to
next year's opera music writers, a
special meeting will be held at the
Union at 5:00 o'clock this afternoon.
With the new system in vogue, it is
believed that better results will be se-
cured, since mo%. of the music in
previous years was written just a few
weeks prior to the show.
This same rule has been applied to
the writing of the book, a large num-
ber of students being already engaged
in the writing of scenarios for next
year's production. Under this regula--
tion the entire show will be completed
by next fall, and work on the produc-
ing of the show will not be halted in
any way. .
Arthur Shupp, '17E, general chair-
man, requests that all those interested
in the music writing attend the meet-
ing this afternoon in order to receive
full instructions. The scenario com-
petition will close on Saturday, May
6, and all contributions must be hand-
ed in to the committee by that time.

captured 550 yards of German
trenches in the region of Doaumont.

man position on the slope of Dead
Man's Hill during Saturdav and Sun-
day, the french captured 1,000 yards
of German trenches, to a depth of

UNITED STATES NOT TO DISCUSS
LOSS OF AMERICAN LIFE,
IS STATEMENT
REPLY MAY ARRIVE TOMORROW
Advices Say Berlin Is Conciliatory;
Herr Ton Jagow Attacked by
Frankfurter Zeitung
Washington, May 2.-Unofficial re-
ports have reached here indicating
that a proposal for arbitration may
form a feature of the German reply to
President Wilson's demand for an
abandonment of present methods of
submarine warfare.
Secretary of State Lansing declined
to " say how the United States would
receive such a proposal. It has been
stated authoritatively that the United
States would not arbitrate on ques-
tions involving American life. But
questions directly connected with loss
of life might be regarded as proper
subjects for further arbitration, it
was explained today. However, Ger-
many must first meet the basic de-
mand of the United States by either
abandoning her submarine campaign
against 'merchantmen, or by bringing
it strictly within the confines of inter-
national law.
Secretary Lansing is still without
news from Ambassador Gerard, but is
momentarily expecting a message out-
lining the result of the ambassador's
visit to the German emperor. Nothing
further has come from Berlin concern-
ing the date of Germany's official re-
ply, and the cabinet met today with
no new development to consider. Un-
official reports indicate that the Ger-
man note may reach here Thursday.
The situation presents a slightly
more hopeful aspect today in view
of press dispatches from Berlin indi-
cating that the German note has been
completed and that it was believed in
Berlin to avert the chances of a dip-
lomatic break. Some officials here
are inclined to interpret it as meaning
that Germany will at least temporarily
abandon her present submarine cam-.-
paign against commerce carriers in
the war zone, pending further negotia-
tions on the issue. Other officials,
however, were not so hopeful.
Berlin Said to Be Conciliatory
Amsterdam, via London, May 2. -
Latest advices from Berlin indicate
a certitude of conciliatory reply by
Germany to the American note. Every
newspaper with official ormsemi-official
standing prints editorials preparing
the people for changes, and arguing
the absurdity of Germany involving
herself in a new war by exasperating
the United States. Some official or-
gans even go so far as to suggest that
Foreign Secretary von Jagow be made
the scapegoat.
The Frankfurter Zeitung denounces
Dr. von Jagow, saying "his weak and
feeble hand cannot steer the ship of
state in storm." Other journals with
official connections point out that Ger-
many's present duty is to defeat Eng-
land's aims, which they claim are to
force the United States into a war with
Germany.
