HELD CONFERENCE WITH VILLA
Gen. Huoh L. Scott Returns to Wash
ington After Long Visit on the
Mexican Border.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Gen. Hugh
L. Scott, chief of staff of the army, re-
turned to Washington tonight from the
Mexican border, where for several
weeks he had been doing special work
for the State Department in further
ance of the Pan-American peace plans.
General SCOTS first task on arrival
at the border was to confer with Gen
eral Villa and settle difficulties aris-
ing from the seizure of property Of
foreign merchants at Chihuahua The
general also discussed with Villa the
Pan-American convention proposal,
which Villa and his followers have ac-
cepted.
Since that time the nature of Gen
eraI Scott's negotiations for the State
Department have 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, responding to the Pan-Amer-
lean appeal said Carranza's answer
would be his.
1t is taken for granted here that
General Scott brought back from the
border a fund of interesting informa-
ton for Secretary Lansing and the
Latin-American diplomats to guide
them in their future consideration OF
the Mexican problem. The chief of
staff has long been familiar with con-
ditions in Mexico and was personally
acquainted with military leaders of
the revolt against Huerta who are
now divided in the camps of Villa and
CarranZa.
No disclosures have been made as to
the next step the Pan-American con-
ferees are planning with reference to
Mexico There will be no meeting un-
til Carranza's reply to the appeal for
a convention in neutralized territory
has been received.

EUROPE IS COURTIAG AMERICA
Both England and Germany are Seek
ing Friendship of United States
Great Diplomatic Game.

Washington, Aug 31-A great
game of world politics is being played,
with the friendship of the United
States as the grand prize Diplomats
and officials of the Washington gov
eminent are watching the moves with
great interest, some of them with anx-
iety, for they realize the vast posi-
bilities involved in the outcome.
Dovetailing into the situation are
the Balkan diplomatic crises, the sub
marine issue between the United
States and Germany, and differences
between this government and Great
Britain over the restrictions on Amer
lean commerce through the applica-
ton of the British blockade, the mu-
nitions shipments investigation, the
German propaganda in this country
and above all what seems to be an
effort to create the impression that
President Wilson may be able to take
the lead in new and positive pro-
posal for peace between the warning
powers of Europe.
Developments in the great game to-
day involved the Arabic incident,
which at one time threatened to cause
a break in American relations with
Germany, and the. British policy of
restricting the shipments to the
United States of German bought
goods. A dispatch to the State De-
partment from James w. Gerard, the
American ambassador at Berlin, told
of opposition by Grand Admiral Won
Tirpitz to the promised program of
giving complete satisfaction to the
American government for the sinking
of the Arabic, while the British en-
bassy notified the department that it
was due to German and not British
opposition that cargoes of dyestuffs
bought in Germany by American firms
were not shipped to this country. The
British notification showed that Great
Britain was willing and ready to mod
ify some of the restrictions on Ameri-
can trade with Germany and neutral
countries contiguous to German ter
ritory, for which this government has
been contending.

U. S. Troopers Shoot Mexican
Revolutionist During Raid
Into Southern Texas.
HE LEO DESPERATE BANDITS
The Gang Has Created Terror Among
Ranchers Along Border for Sew
eraI Months.

Van Horn, Tex. Sept 1.-The
body of General Pascal Orozco, hero
of the Nadero revolution of Mexico,
lies today in an undertaker's estab
lishment here. Beside him are the
bodies of his companions killed in the
fighting yesterday with posse COM
posed of troops of the Thirteenth Cav
airy. custom house officials and civil
ians. The body has been identified
positively as that of Orozco by a gov
eminent official from Ell Paso.
The battle took place in Green River
canyon of the High Lonesome Noun
tainA in Culberson county. Texas, fol-
lowing a raid on the Dick Love ranch
ions were pursued from the Sierra
Blanca country into the foothills. The
last of the band died at dusk.
Gen Victoriano Huerta would make
no comment when informed of the re-
ported death of his former chief Off
Ger.
How He Started.
Pascual Orozco was the son of a
small storekeeper in Chihuahua. When
he reached manhood he became a bull
lion conductor" and, with his party of
guards, escorted the pack trains load
ed with bullion from the mines in Chi
huahua through the bandit infested
hills to the railroad. 1t was in this
work that he first achieved a reputa-
ton for bravery and skill with
weapons.
Orozco was one of the first to join
Francisco Madero when the latter or
ganiZed his revolt against President
Diaz in 1910. Orozco took the field in
Northern Chihuahua and in company
with his bullion guards as a nucleus,
soon raised the most effective fighting
force under Madero's banner. Facing
tremendously superior forces, he re-
manned in the field throughout the Ma
dero revolution, even throughout the
time when Madero himself was forced
into hiding in the United States, es-
Gaping the pursuing federals by his
knowledge of the mountains and the
mobility of his mounted men, Orozco
was the senior general among those
with Madero at the taking of JuareZ,
and took command of the captured
town.
Back to the Hills.
When Madero became president,
Orozco accompanied him to the City
of Mexico, but it was not long before
a disagreement arose over large sums
of money Orozco alleged to be due
him and his father, Colonel Orozco.
Orozco abandoned his allegiance to
Madero and again took to the hills.
taking with him the majority of his
men who had followed him through
the Madero campaign

have received their report from the

forth that the party had accepted res-
olutions declaring that 1t was the duty

tion follows:
That the conflict between the ma

matte policies with the idea of main
tanning the balance of power; that our
understanding with France and Russia.
was only bound to increase the power
of Russia in Europe and Asia, and en-
danger our relations with Germany.
That Foreign Secretary Grey IS

to France in the event of any war In
which she was involved. before the
house of commons had chance to
consider the matter, and it is fact
that this party had opposed the policy
which produced this way and that itS
