The skirt, made of silvery grey chiffon velvet, was full of course: but the odd part was that, in the side of the front. the material was left loose and folded over in jabot fashion: this part was lined with mauve color satin.

That Obregon Has Won
Important Battle.

mander, over Villa and Angeles at
Leon, were awaited today by admin
istratlVe othcials who are interested

lleved here that if Carranza has been
victorious his next step will be to re-
enter Mexico City and establish a gov
eminent with view to obtaining
recognition by the United States.
CarranZa representatives here re-
garded the unofficial reports of the
capture by Obregon of Leon and the
routing of the Villa forces as evidence
that the Villa movement would soon
completely collapse Villa representa-
tives, on the other hand, said their
latest advices showed that Villa and
Angeles had driven Obregon far south
of Leon and that the main body of the
Carranza army was in a critical posi-
tion near Trinidad.
The Carranza representative has re-
ce1ved a message from a Carranza
consul on the border saying he had
been approached by a Villa official,
speaking presumably with authority,
to learn what could be done to start
peace parleys. The message has been
forwarded without comment to General

Washington, D. c., June T.

concerning the sinking Of the
Lusitania virtually was ready
today for transmission to Ber-
lin. President Wilson worked
until late hour last night to
complete its phraseology,
The note Is said to be a Wig
orous reiteration of previous
demands that Germany exer-
else the right of visit and
search before attacking unarm-
ed merchant ships. While the
note practically has been COM
pleted, it was believed to be not
unlikely that the president
would discuss 1t today with the
legal officers of the govern
ment before 1t was put in
cipher.
Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, continues
optimistic over the situation.
Ambassador Gerard reported
today that the German admir-
atty as yet had no report on
the torpedoing Of the American
steamer Nebraskan but was
conducting an investigation.
Ambassador Gerard's mes
sage was an answer to the
state department inquiry
whether any report had been
received from German sources,
Meanwhile the department
awaits also full report of the
inquiry by American naval at
taches, sent to Liverpool from
London.
Counselor Lansing Of the
state department made the
positive statement today that
the note to Germany will not
90 forward tonight. 1t is un-
derstood it will go before the
cabinet again tomorrow.
