ANOTHER MEETING TUESDAY
The Latest Dlevelopments in the "Big
11omtd" Raid Have Entered
Into Negotiations
El Paso, May 8.-General Scott and
General Obregon failed to reach an
agreement at their conference tonight,
according to Juan T. Amador, sub-
secretary of foreign affairs, who went
with General Obregon to General
Scott's car and participated in the con-
ference.
The conference lasted more than an
hour, during which time copies of the
agreement were read by the American
and Mexican generas, but, so far as
could be seen through the windows of
the private car, no signatures were
affixed to the agreement.
At times General Obregon would
stand up and pound the table, as if em-
phasizing his point, and this led to
the belief that a disagreement ha"
arisen over the points that he made,
but this was not confirmed by any-
thing said by the conferees. At the
conclusion of the conference, General
Scott sent word to newspaper men that
he had no statement to make at this
time. After the conference, General
Obregon, in Juarez, said the negotia-
tions were just beginning. Later Gen-
eral Obregon issued the following
statement:
"The conference tonight was very
satisfactory. Another meeting will
probably occur tomorrow."
It is known that the latest develop-
ments in the situation in the "Big
Bend" raid have entered into the ne-
gotiations, which, except for this,
would havebeen concluded'yesterday.
General Scott admitted yesterday that
this incident would have weight in
the conference and Mexican officials
tonight admitted that it complicated
affairs- and expressed the belief that
the raid was engineered by enemies
of the Carranza -government at this
particular time, because of the effect
it would have on the conference.
General Funston said tonight that
he had no intention of sending re-en-
forcements to the American cavary
troops already in the Big Bend country
to hunt down the bandits who raided
that section Friday night and Satur-
day, for the reason that he had
not any more troops to send.
This means that, if the chase in
Coahuila should become as extended
as the chase under General Pershing
in Chihuahua has been, General Fun-
ston would have to call for the militia
of the various states to act as a bor-
der guard before he could summon
any more troops to his assistance. Five
troops of American cavalry is all he
now has on the chase, two of the
Eighth cavalry from El Paso. and
three of the Fourteenth.

von Buelow, the former imperial Ger-

on the political horizon of Europe.
The only man living who has ever
dared to extort from his imperial mas-

the discussion and conduct of the Ger-

a special train toward the great gen-
eral army headquarters in the field, in
response to a hurry call from the
Kaiser, who has bidden him, it is re-

MOTHERS' DAY TO BE
OBSERVED__ON MAY 14
Gov. Ferris Sek Ths)isPate for Re-
membrance of the "Mothers
of our Country"
Mothers' Day will be observed in
the state of Michigan on Sunday, May
14, in accordance with a proclamation
just issued by _Governor Ferris.
The proclamation contains a fine
tribute to the modern mother and
urges the observance of this day as
an appreciation of the debt which the
country owes her.
"The mothers of every country are
more important than the armies and
the munitions of war," says the proc-
lamation, and the governor advises
"the boys and girls and 'grown-ups'"
to express their gratitude by writing
some "mother" a letter of appreciation.
In concluding the instrument, the
governor, in obedience to a resolution
passed by Congress, requests the peo-
ple of Michigan to display the United
States flag on "Mothers' Day" on all.
government and public buildings, at
their homes or other suitable places
"as a public expression of their love
and reverence f(r the mothers of our
country."-
Pink and white carnations will also
be worn next Sunday, the pink ones
by those whose mothers are living
and white .ones by those whose moth-
ers are dead.

WHAPS GOING ON
SA N SiNG DECLARES GERMANY'S
ANS ER YJEL S REGA RD-
ING MERCHANT SHIPS
BRYAN POLIY KOW USELESS
Peace Trealies of Former Secretary
of State Would not Avail in
Present Conditions
washington, May 8.-President Wil-
so today sent a note to the German
government accepting its declaration
of abandonment of illegal submarine
warfare and rejecting thersuggestion
that the United States regard this
abandonment as conditional upon
Great Britain's action with respect to
the blockade.
The note is courteous in tone but
firm and definite. It is intended to
remove all doubt on the part of the
imperial government as to the posi-
tion the United States has taken.
Secretary Lansing tonight issued
the following statement explaining
why the United states cannot discuss
matters pertaining to the relations be-
tween this government and Great
Britain with the imperial govern-
ment.
"The greatef- part 'of the German
answer is devoted to matters which
this government cannot discuss with
the German government. The only
questions of right which can be dis-
cussed with that government, are
these questions which are the sub-
ject of diplomatic exchanges between
the United States and other coun-
tries.
"The -essence of the answer is that
Germany yields to our representations
with regard to the right of merchant
ships and non-combatants on the high
seas and engages to observe the rec-
ognized rule of international law gov-
erning naval warfare in-using her
submarines against merchant ships,
So long as she lives up to this altered
policy we have no reason to quarre
with her on that score, though the
losses resulting from the violation of
American rights by German subma-
rine commanders operating under the
former policy, will have to be settled.
"While our differences with Great
Britain cannot form a subject of dis-
cussion with Germany. it should be
stated that in our dealing with the
British government we are acting as
we are unquestionably bound to act
in view of the explicit treaty engage-
ments with that government. We
have treaty obligations as to the man-
ner in which matters in dispute be-
tween the tWo governments are to be
handled. We offered to assume mu-
tually similar obligations with Ger-
many, but the offer was declined.
"When, however, the subject in dis-
pute is continuing a menace to Amer-
ican lives, it is doubtful whether such
obligations apply unless the menace
is fremoved during the pendency of
the proceedings."

fers for the first time in the subma-
rine negotiations to' the Bryan peace
treaties and indicates that, even if
