Americans Prepare For Bat tie As Carranzistas Attempt To Gain Pass Into State Of Chihuahua
$500 MEXICANS ARE.
 THREATENING LINE
Clash Impending, Is Belief At Douglas, Where Latin Am erican Feeling Is Running High
(By Review Leased Wire )

DOUGLAS. May 2.-An attempt
 today of the de facto cavalry.
 the advance guard of General
 Arnulfo Gomez, to enter Chihua-
 hua. through Pulpito Pass, was
 fruetrated by the American
 trC1ps. according to a report re-
 ceived from American sources.
 The MeXicans. according to the
 report, were under command of Colonel Jesus Maria Aguirre and
 had succeeded in penetrating IS
 miles into the pass before their
 rsoyement was discovered by a
 United States military aeiSplane
 which reported the presence of
 the de facto troops to the Ameri-
 can commander
 The American troops are said to
 have been drawn up in strategic
 formation to hold the pass. Bow ever. Colonel Aguirre did not at-
 tempt to press forward. He con-
 tented him self with camping
 and dispatching messengers to the
 rear. presumably to communicate
 with General Gomez.
 Col. Aguirre's advance into Chi
 huahua is believed here to have
 been the forerunner of a general
 movement.
 Americans arriving here from the south reported that forces of Genera Gomez, which have been scattered ir the towns of Bavispe River Valley have received orders to concentrate between Colonia Morelos and Colonia Oaxaca and were marking northward toward that point today This would place the entire command on the road to Pulpito Pass through which they would enter Chihuahua in the Casas Grandes region.
 Gomez is reliably reported to have thirty-five hundred men. including eighteen hundred cavalry and four cannon. Fifteen hundred de facto in. fantry are stationed at Fronteras. 29 miles south of here. This column has eight pieces of artillery The garri- son of Agua Prieta is not more than three hundred strong.
 Excitement on both sides of the border is growing. owing to wild -umors. Arrivals today reported that l rumor had reached the de facto sol Hers at Fronteras that five thousand American soldiers were invading Son. ora. and it was with difficulty that heir commanders restrained the Mex cans from marching northward to meet the supposed invaders
 Preparations are under way in Agua Prieta for the celebration of |inco de Mayo. Friday. A Mexican 'atriotic society with headquarters in a suburb. one mile north If Douglas. announced today the in ention to march through this city

To Come Half Way

It was gathered from this that the Mexicans had decided not to press the question of withdrawal in view of the possibility that break might fol- low. The negotiations today took an entirely unexpected turn. In the morn ing it was announced that there prob ably would be meeting in the after noon with General Scott and Funston representing the United States as in the first conference and with Generals Obregon and Trevino representing Mexico. At noon. however. General Scott walked unattended from his pri- vate car to the Hotel Paso del Norte. leaving General Funston to lunch a. lone in the car. about the same time General Obregon crossed over from Juarez in his touring car and proceed ed to the same place.
 Arrived at the hotel. General Scott and General Obregon went to a room on the eighth floor reserved by A. J. McQuatters. president of the Alvaro Mining and Milling Company. which has large interests at Parral. the scene of the relent outbreak of Mexi- cans against the American troops It became known then that the two gen erals were to be the guests at lunch con of MT. McQuatters. a personal friend of both.
 Smokes Peace Pipe
 At this meeting. which began at noon and lated we'll into the night. General Scott is reported to have em- ployed the tactics which he success fully employed in conference with Vil- la. the Geronimo incident and other affairs. and which won for him the reputation of being the official peace maker of the Washington government.
 U. S. Is Best Friend
 He is said to have indicated tO Gen eral ObregOn these things:
 That the United States is the best friend Mexico has got
 That President Wilson only wishes to see Mexico rid of the Villistas and as soon as this. is accomplished the American troops will be withdrawn
 That it appears that the attitude of the United States government has not been properly understood. and far from seeking intervention that is the very thing it wishes to avoid
 Finally. the majority of the Ameril ran people. and even the military are in aclord with President Wilson's de sire to avoid intervention.

Hope Of Prompt Settlement Of Submarine Issue Fades ; Long Argument At Best Is Expected REPLY TO AMERICAN
 NOTE IS OVERDUE Absence Of Kaiser's "Subs" On High Seas Since U. s. Sent Note Is Only Hopeful Sign
(By Review Leased Wire.)

BERLIN. Wa LOnuOu, May --
 Herr von Jegow, the foreign min
 ister at the re-opening of the sit
 ting of the budget committee of
 the Reichstag today, said the gov
 ernment had not yet reached a de-
 cision with regard to the situa-
 tion that had arisen from the
 American note to Germany re-
 garding Germany's submarine
 campaign. As soon as the imperial
 chancellor returned from head
 quarters, Herr lon Jagow added,
 he would give the committee de-
 finite information.
 BERLIN, May 2.-It has been
 learned that Dr. Karl Helferich,
 the imperial treasurer, is at the
 headquarters participating in the
 conference on the American note.
 The Frankfurter Zeitung says
 Ambassador Gerard twice dined
 with imperor William and that he
 was able to see the German troops
 at an important point on the front.
 WASHINGTON. May 1.-Two weeks have passed since the United States addressed to Germany its note that a change in methods of submarine warfare be made. and still no definite answer has been received
 Privately no attempt is made to con- ceal contrary feeling and this feel ing is certain to become more pion- ounced unless some definite news is forthcoming over night.
 Parleying Expected.
 It is felt here that the very length of time which has been consumed by the German government in preparing reply in itself indicates that the communication will not take the shape of a simple response to the direct and clear cut issue raised in the American note It is feared that the reply is likely to assume an argu- ment character which can scarcely be regarded as meeting the require ments of the United States.
 Persons in close touch with affairs at the German embassy, however, continue to express themselves as be- ing positive that Germany will make no reply lO tlt OIiitu ctalcS "htNh will call for the breaking of diplomat ic relations.
 It is felt in German circles that Germany certainly will agree to abandon operations objectionable to the United States at least pending negotiations on the subject. In this it is pointed out that there even is a possibility that in structions to this end already have been issued to submarine command CTS. there not having been reported during the last few days a case which could be complained.
 It is reiterated that all messages from Berlin foreign office clearly in- dicate that Germany is trying to pre- serve friendly relations with the United States.
 Of course. il is realized that the ab- sence of MT. Gerard from Berlin probably without his code and his probable reluctance to entrust conf lential telegrams to the German mil itary authorities may have accounted for the lack of communication. Secre- Iary Lansing has no information to ay before the cabinet at the meeting .oday and the situation was discussed only briefly It was the first time in , week that the secretary had appear ed at a session of the cabinet without ! portfolio filled with documents.

FL PASO, May 2.--In a late message to the first chief, General Obregcn reported that the neqot;. ations were proceeding satisfac- torily to both sides
 FL PASO, May 2.-At eight O. clock tonight, eight hours after his conference with General Ob- regon, General Scott handed the following statement to the Asso ciated Press:
 We are stiIF conferring in a spirit of mutual good will, and hope to arrive at solution that will be satisfactory to both of our governments. There will be noth ing more for publication"
 This statement was siqned Ob- regon and Scott.
 FL PASO. May ?. Marked progress toward an agreement was made today by the American and Mexican conferees consider ing United States troop disposi- ticns in Mexico. according to un- official bu authorative advices. It is believed now the matter may be threshed out in the next day or so.
 This progress was due to the fact. 1t was said. that General Ob- regon concluded there was no possibility of altering the inten- tion of the Washington govern ment not to withdraw General Pershing's eXpeditionary force immediately.
 The attitude of the Mexican minister of war is believed 10 have been described by a Mexican official who took part in the first conference in Juarez, who is close ly conversant with the entire sit uation and who said:
 Between two evils you must choose the lesser It would be fclly to suppose the defacto- gov ernment desires war"
