Washington ShN Hoping
 That Clash With Germany
 May Some Ho1U Be Aveyted
The Fact That Ambassador Gerard Has Been Invited to Confer With Kaiser Regarded As a Favorable Sign
Republican A. P. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, April 2I-Secretary Lansing said today that he had no further advices from Berlin regarding the submarine issue and the situation remained unchanged The German embassy also was said to be without information.
 Announcement in press dispatches from Berlin that Ambassador Gerard would confer with Emperor William at the army headquarters was re- sarded by officials as being signifi- cant. Official information of the subject was lacking. but the opinion was freely expressed that it was not at all unlikely that the emperor might have in mind supplementing Ger manys reply 10 the American note demanding the immediate abandon ment of present methods of srbma- rinc warfare, with a personal commu- nication of such fact to President Wilson
 Ambassador Gerard in visiting the emperor is not acting under instruc- tions from Washington. Consequently officials assumed that the emperor invited MT Gerard to confer with him. In both official and diplomatic quar- 1 ters the injection of the emper0rs l personality into the situation was re garded as being q hopeful indication. | President Wilson expects to re- 1 ceive the German reply within the next few days. it became known to- | day although the basis for thIs expec tation was not revealed.

 This was the picked squadron of M2io" Robert L. Howze of the Eleventh cavalry. They rode trails where no Carranzisti4 soldier ever had been, where the natives asserted no horse could go, and where Villistas laid am buscades of sinister cunning but al ways ineffective.
 IL was April when, three miles north of Cineguita, the picked squad ron came on an abandoned wagon of the prairie schooner type, from which the canvas cover had been removed The Americans were able to account for this only in the light of reports they had received that Villa himself, wound ed had ridden in this wagon q week before them over this trail They had been assured that the wagon over turned, Villa tainted. and that the can vas was thereupon ripped off to make ! the famous white litter in which Villa was said to have travelled, carried by 1 his men

The Hope of Mexicans

FL PASO, April 27.-Hope that the coming conference between General Obregon, representing Mexico. and Generals Scott and Funston. repre- senting the United States, will end all talk of intervention in Mexico was the feeling prevalent among Mexican off calls in JuareZ and Fl Paso tonight
 None would venture the belief that this would be the outcome of the meet ing. However. one of those who has been in constant touch with the border situation and has held many confer ences with American army officials here, went so far as to say: Ut is ob- vious that the de facto government does not wish intervention and it is well known it hopes that the American troops will be withdrawn from Mexi- can soil. The mere fact that it is talk ing part in conference with represen- tatives of the American government surely indicates that ii believes it's hope can he realized"

Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

CHIHUAHUA, Mex, April 27.-Gen- eral Alvaro Obregon, minister of war of the de factor government, will sub init his assurances to Major Generals Scott and Funston at their coming con ference in Juarez or Fl Paso that the CarranZa forces are now fully able to cope with the VilIista bandits that are operating in southern Chihuahua. The minister of war said he hoped to ar range for an early retirement of the Americans from Mexican soil.
 Before his departure tonight for Juarez General Obregon, who was ac- companied by General TrevinO. Carran- "a commander at Torreon, outlined to the Associated Press the official pro posals that he intends to submit to Generals Scott and Funston Inci- dentally the Mexican minister of war refuted reports that there was any fric- ton between himself and General l Nenustiano CarranZa.
 General Obregon, who is a man of few words and direct speech said re ! garding the coming conference which ! is expected to determ-ne the future mil | itary courses of both the American and l Mexican troops: T am going to Juarez 1 to convince the American respresenta- i tives that our army is more than amply sufficient to control the small groups; i of Villista bandits which are still at large and outside the law. I hope to i arrange for the prompt retirement of | the American troops into their own country"
 General Obregon was most emphatic
 in denouncing the reports which he said
 had been circulated in the United
 States that he had broken with the first
 chief
 ''I wish to emphaticalIy deny the in
 ventions of the American yellow press
 which has insinuated that there is fric- tion between myself and Genera Carranza," he said. T wish Further tc -i state that there is perfect harmony . among all the chiefs of the constitu- tionalist cause"

WASHINGTON, April 7. - The American embargo conference an or ganization with headquarters in Chi cago, was charged by Senator Husting today with promoting plot to de- ceive congressman and public opin- ion by originating and paying for the propaganda which for several days has deluded senators and re- presentatives with many thousands of telegrams protesting against any break between the United States and Germany
 The Wisconsin senator read in the senate copies of letters sent to his ! constituents containing four form : telegrams of protest like those re- | ceived by congressman and saying ! the embargo conference would pay ! telegraph tolls on all such messages.
 He charged that the forms had been prepared in advance and that the
 conference had studiously awaited an opportunity to launch its propaganda when it might do most to convince
 the country that the president and congress were bent upon war.
 Senators sherman of Illinois ana Pomerene of Ohio also denounced the propaganda but Senator Works oi California rebuked Senator Husting
 for bringing up the subject in thu
 senate.
 Although Senator Husting advo
 cated congressional investigation O
 the conference, he introduced no re solution and the debate ended.
 Senator Husting asserted that th'
 same organization had instituted propaganda in his state last Febru ary in an effort to induce him . support a resolution placing an em bargo on munitions of war to Eur lope He put into the record letter bearing the names Of Colonel Jaspe : Tucker Darling, president: w. F ' Macdonald general manager, an . J. H. Forrest secretary as officer of the embargo conference. .

 It was quite two o'clock before the answer to the cablegram came.

 There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in 1t. This is very excellent health measure. It is in tended to flush the stomach, liver. kid neys and the thirty feet of intestines of the previous days waste, sour bile and indigestible material left over in the body which, if not eliminated every day. become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels. the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious at Jacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trouble. kidney misery, sleep lessness. impure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 feople wno reel good one day ana badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to ob- tain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any druggist or store keeper. This will cost very little but Is sufficient to make anyone a real crank on the subject Of internal sani- tation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin. cleansing. sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, liver. kidneys and bowels. It is vast. ly more important to bathe on the in side than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities in- to the blood. while the bowel pores do. Adv.
