WASHINGTON IS
 NOW CONFIDENT
U. s. Army Chief Gen. Hugh Scott of Staff Returns from the
 Mexican Border.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, cheif of staff of the army, returned to Washington tonight from the Mexican border, where for several weeks he has been doing special work for the state department in further ance of the Pan-American peace plans. He wc0lld not comment upon the results of his mission which he will discuss tomorrow with Secre- tary of State Lansing. General Scott's first task on arrival at the border was to confer with General Villa and settle difficulties arising from the seizure of property of foreign merchants at Chihuahua. The general also discuss ed with Villa the Pan-American pre- posal which Villa and his followers have accepted.
 Negotiations Kept Secret.
 Since that time the nature of Gen. eral Scott's negotiations for the state department has not been disclosed At one time it was reported that he sought to get in communication with General Obregon, Carranza's chief in the field Whether he succeeded in this has not been learned. Obregon however, who has been responding to the Pan-American appeal, said Car ranza's answer would be his.
 It is taken for granted here thas General Scott brought back from the border fund of information for Sec retary Lansing and the Latin-Ameri- can diplomats to guide them in their future consideration of the Mexican problem.
 Next Step Not Known.
 The chief of staff long has been fa- miliar with conditions in Mexico and is personally acquainted with many of the leaders cf the revolt agalns; Huerta, who are now divided into camps against Carranza and Villa What the next step the Pan-American conterees are contemplating is not known.
 The conferees still are of the opin- ion khat the response cf Corranza will be negative one and will probably urg} recognition of the Carranza gov ernJnent, General Carranza is expect Cd 10 reach Mexico City today of to- morrow.

PROBLEM OF ALLIES
TO SHORTEN Line
Hilaire BellOc Thinks Ger
mans Are Near the
Breaking Point.
by Cable 10 The Tribune. ]

London, Jan. 2l.--Hilaire Belloc,
dealing in Land and Water" with the
battle of Scissors, points out that there
is remarkable similarity between
what happened there and at Stein
bach, in Alsace. The external points
are that a strong French offensive was
ordered with no more than the troops
long on the spot against a particular
section of the long German line, tina.
it succeeded, and that after delay
of forty-eight hours at scissors and
nearly four days at Steinbach very
large German reinforcements arrived
and reversed the French attack.
The German counter-offensive, how
ever spent itself and could go no
further The first conclusion 20 be
drawn from the parallel is. thus
stated;
"The Germans, never knowing quite
where the French are going to attack,
are in great peril of having their line
broken whenever an attack upon a con-
siderable scale is delivered. They Will
not risk men, as yet at any rate, in
trying 10 recover the initiative for
themselves and in being the first to
attack. They are thus compelled 10
wait for the French initiative. They
meet it, whenever q strong attack IS
delivered, by hurrying up men from
elsewhere, and the men so hurried up,
though coming in great number. do
little more than hold their own"
A further conclusion is that the Ger
mans draw men from other parts OF
their line, and not from any large
available reserves or new formations.
Mr.. Belloc contends that the facts dis
closed show that the enemy is now put
into great anxiety by the thinness Of
his line. He continues:
THE problem before the Allies IN
the west is not the problem Of grad
ually pushing back an opposing force
1t is the problem Of compelling that
force. under pressure, 10 shorten lines
which are already as stretched as they
can be consistently with being held
at all. and when the compulsion for
shortening these lines shall arrive. II
cannot take the form of gradual re-
tirement from one line of trenches 10
another close behind il. Ii can only
take the form of wholesale retire
ment. either evscuating Northern
France and half Of Belgium or evacuat-
ing Alsace"
Mr. Belloc also analyses the German
report of the battle of scissors and
shows that the statement therein made
that more than. 5000 Frenchmen we're
killed and more than 5000 taken pris-
oners IS nonsense.

GERMANS PROMISED
TO FREE SAILORS
Washington Believes American
Crews Arrested at Bremen
Have Been Released.

Washington. Jan. 21.-Although the
State Department has asked for more
details as 20 the detention of Ameri-
can sailors from the steamers Green
brier and Carolyn at Bremen, officials
cxnressed to-day the belief that the
usual military precaution had been eX'
crcised because the vessels previously
had touched al hostile ports.
consular dispatch TO the depart
mont from Bremen gave the first init
nation that the sailors OF the two
American vessels which carried cotton
% Germany had been detained. The
message added, however, that the mill
,arv authorities had promised TO re-
lease the sailors the moment the SHIPS
were ready 20 depart. As ofhelals be
6eve both ships already have lett Bre-
men. they take II for granted that the
sailors have been released.
The general view Of officials was tnat
the German military authorities dld
not want the sailors 20 gather informa-
ton about the port OF Bremen whlch
might be given 20 the enemy II the
vessel again touched at British ports.
In times of peace. II IS understood
the arrest Of American sailors at bre-
mon would be a violation OF treaties
With Germany guaranteeing all Ameri-
can citizens freedom of the country
unless they violate municipal laws, but
The declaration Of martial law, u rs
generally accepted. supersedes treaty
arrangements IN these respects. Early
in the present war Americans we're dc
,ained in al parts Of Germany until the
mobilization was completed.

GEORGIA'S SEIZURE
CITED IN DAClA CASE
London Post" Recalls Civil
War lncident-Says Germany
IS Using United States.

London, Jan. 2l.-"The Morning
POST in an editorial says that in de-
Gliding TO seize the Dacia the British
government has a complete precedent
in the action Of the federal govern
ment IN the Civil War in Selling the
steamer Georgia, which had been
bought from the Confederstes by a
Liverpool ship owner named Bates.
and, after being chartered from him
by the Portuguese government, was
captured by a federal frigate off Bos-
ton on August 10, 1864.
This parallel" says The Morning
Post SHOULD be conclusive to the
United States. for there is no essential
difference between the two cases. II
is true that the Georgia had been an
armed ship, but all German merchant
men may be transformed into armed
ships at any time, and have been so
transformed in this war. When the
Georgia was seized she was not an
armed ship. She had been transformed
into a peaceful merchantmen and was
proceeding upon peaceful voyage be-
tween neutrals. There was no sus-
picion that the transfer was not genu-
inc or that she would be transferred
TO the Confcderates.

of this case is TO be reckoned by them

After recapitulating the arguments
underlying the British case the cdito-
rial SAYS that Germany IS seeking Ito

proceeds:

London, Jan. 2l.-Oficials here after
reading Representative Mann's declara-
ton in the House concerning the New

there is nothing against ship "hover-

Officials recall that on the New Am

British ships refrained from searching

returning TO The Hague, despite def
mite suspicious, which were later found
TO be justified, that the ship carried
