The Berlin Situation

BERLIN (Via London), April 26.- The situation is summed up by the Morgen Post as follows:
 The possibility of avoiding a con flict still exists if the same good will is present on the American side as with us But the seriousness of the conflict must not be underestimated." {"
 The Lokal Anzeiger says: Local German American circles yesterday were more hopeful in the views taken on the diplomatic situation beween the two nations than on preceding days This feeling found expression especially in certain business direc- tions which :cok their course with out being influenced by political conditions.

D0OD' 5 BATTLE MEX|CANS SAY
 VAS \ DEFEAT
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

FL PASO, Tex, April 26.-The news of the battle at Temachio in which Colonel Dodd routed 260 Villistas, was received here as strong confirmation Of the numerous reports received recently that the inactivity of the American troops had encouraged the numerous bands of bandits in northern Chihuahua to reunite and resume their depreda- tions According to the information received here the bandits have accepted the halt in the pursuit of Villa as mean ing that the Americans have been de- feated by the bandit chief and will soon be driven out of Mexico.
 Mexican officials in Juarez urge this as an additional reason why the eX- peditionary force should be promptly withdrawn. They claim that the forces of the de facto government are ham pered by the presence of the Americans as their leaders have refrained from any extended operations in order to avoid any possibility of clashes with
 General Pershing's troops.
 The conference between General Scott and General Obregon is awaited with unconcealed impatience by both sides, in the hope that it will at least put an end to the present vague and
 unsatisfactory situation. Reports from Washington and San Antonio that Gen. eral Scott had instructions to discuss
 "co- operation" with the Mexican min ister of war has raised the hopes of thu | interventionists that the American gov ernment is not contemplating the with
 drawal of the expeditionary army, bu 1 Mexicans and neutral Americans re main confident that such step will b, the outcome of the conference.

 PITTSBURG, April 26.-The clos ing of the plants of the Westinghouse Air Brake company and the Union Switch and Signal company and the arrest of Fred H.

No tices posted at the gates of both closed plants said the action was talk en because the companies could not get adequate protection for their em- ployes.

 There had been a clash between the two lawyers during the court pro- ceedings in the city investigation. Traube several times complained to Commissioner Bailey, presiding in the proceedings. that he regarded Stokes remarks about him as contemptuous. Exchanges had become so bitter that the commissioner ordered the attorneys to address all their remarks to the court and not to each other Traube represents the city in the litigation.

COLUMBUS N. M., April 26.-A troop of cavalry arrived here today, having been withdrawn from Boca Grande, 25 miles south of the border and on the old trail used by trucks bound for the front. The new road, which is said to be better and shorter, cuts off the American camps at Boca Grande and Espia, necessitating fewer troops to guard the line of communicat- ton in consequence.
 Heavy traffic over the old road, lead ing west along the boundary and thence south through Boca Grande and Espia to Ascencion, 70 miles from the from tier, has so rutted it that truck trains now are being routed directly south (Continued on Page Three)

ARCH|ES END RAID OF TEUT0N PLIERS
 FIRING STRAP MEL
Describe the, Battles Fought High Above the
 the Clouds.

With the British Armies in France (via London), Dec. 24.-A day of
 sunshine-a rarity in December on l the British front-caused a tempo rary revival of activity among the
 aviators to-day, presenting spectacle which few years ago could have liv- ed only in the imagination.
 Out of. the distance there came
 early in the day a series of black
 specks which gradually grew until they took the form of German air
 planes From points of telescopic ob-
 servation their approach had been signal1ed long before even the first tiny dots were visible to the naked eye.
 British guns were ready, and British
 airplanes were already climbing above the ruins of the shell torn Flemish town to challenge the invaders.
 While the German machines were still over their own lines the British anti-aircraft cannon known as "Archies,'' began to speak. There was sharp, angry crack. A moment lat CT shrapnel shell burst into a white puff ball just in the path of the on- coming airplanes. At first, the white aeck of powder smoke seemed no lar ger than a pin head, but it soon
 spread until it appeared as an exag-
 gerated toy balloon and hoated as lag fly Against the sky. Then there was another puff, and then another, until it seemed that half a hundred "Archies" must be going and the sky became a fretwork of white smoke
 balls, each one marking a spot where breaking shell had shoWered it's leaden bullets upon the fast travelling Germans. -
 l British Open Fire.
 Plugging in and out among the ex- ploding shrapnel, the approaching airplanes left a trail of these f1ecks and powder puffs in their wake. Up and up, through the danger zone of their own guns, the British aviators climbed eagerly to the fight. The dis tantf hum of the hostile motors could now be heard, mingled with the loud CT, bee like drone of the English ma-
 chimes, and between the scarcity per ceptible intervals of the "Archies'' fire came the staccato notes of the
 machine guns. The British airmen had opened fire before reaching the level of their adversaries.
 Now the British machines began to close in from various directions and the invaders turned suddenly and started for their own lines. Their
 precipitate- retreat was marked by the
 same trail of shell fire as had been
 their approach. The British aviators
 pursued, but having now the advan-
 tage of height and a diving start for
 home, the Germans temporarily got away. s
 This was the first phase of the day's s t,off in hn oir 6n To 1,o later fighting, when two German ma- chimes came crushing to earth in spin ming nose dives. Airplanes are never so much like birds as when they meet in combat. ;, They dart, dash, circle, turn and swoop like so many feather ed warriors, and often the battles rage at such high attitudes that the nia- chimes become. all but invisible.

POODLE, NEWEST
 DANCE, GIVEN A WORKOUT IN NY.
Long Skirts Unsqited to Steps and If You Are Fat,
 Keep Away.

l / New York, Dec. 29-Toddling will 1 be one of the diversions this Winter, i said C.. Hepburn Wilson, head of the American National College of Danc- i ing, at a convention of dancing teach
 CTS nthis city yesterday. Fifty teach l CTS saw him go through the toddle ! at the Hotel Bi.tmore.
 MT. Wilson said the new dance was
 simple, but to nOn-professional ob-
 server it did not look so. In perform l ing it you sway backward, then for ward to the rhythm of the music | There is a "break'' in the music like that in the old-fashioned clog dance
 Arthur N. Green, who composed an air for the half-and-half for the i Castles, has written "The Inner 1 Circle Toddle' for the new dance and 1 was on hand to play it for the !! teachers.
 .'It's the break that gets the peoples feet going" said MT. Wilson. Here is the way the dance looked: First the man takes four steps forward and the woman four steps backward. Then the trouble begins. Any one can take the four steps, but the rub is to pivot and turn on one foot on the next step. The turn must be done rhythmica1ly, with the body swaying, and if you lose your balance it's all off. Every one lost his or her balance yesterday, and all were teachers. For the ordinary mortal the thing seemed impossible. It took the class an hour to get the pivot and turn.
 MT Wilson had two assistants on h to nj Ii iY,n h11f Miss Dor othy Day and Miss Kitty Kerwin grew Respondent as they. tried to show the teachers how to toddle. Af- ter three hours of practice the class managed to master the cardinal prin- ciples of the toddle, but still were uneasy as to the break and pivot.
 '"The toddle," said MT. Wilson after the meeting, 'is simple dance, and New iY orkers und doubtedly will take hold of it with a will"
 In watching the new step several things were notedA% First. if you are a woman it would be. wise to wear abbreviated skirts. Both short and long costumes were worn yesterday, and the: prize went to the shorts. Even Mr. Wilson admitted this. An other conclusion:. If you are fat do the best you can until you get to the turn and pivot. Then sit down.
 A few of those who studied the toddle yesterday were Thomas Me Dougal of Pittsburgh: Mrs. G. Adams of Salem, Mass; Miss H. Doody and Miss Mary McGrath of Brooklyn; Miss w. E. Barker of Bridgeport; R. or Blackburn of Pittsburgh ,and A. Ellis Smith of Rochester.
