U. S. ATTITUDE REVIEWED.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-An off cial declaration of the attitude of the United States toward armed merchant ships, made publi ctoday by Secre- tary Lansing. reiterates and explains the purpose fthe American govern ment to recognize the right of peace ful vessels 10 carry arms for defense and at the same time, while referring onl yto warships generally. clearly sets forth the conditions under which the United States holds submarines may attack merchant craft.
 The declaration was issued in the form of memorandum prepared by MT. Lansing at President Wilson's di- rection during the Secretary's brief vacation last month. Copies of it were given 10 each of the embassies and legations here, and while no off cial explanation was forthcoming. as 10 the purpose of publishing the mem orandum at this time. it is assumed that at least the substance of it will reach the Berlin foreign office before a reply is dispatched to the Ameri- can demand for abandonment Of Ger many's present methods of submarine warfare. This would serve to answer in advance certain questions which ca hle dispatches have indicated the German government was inclined to ask.
 In connection wit hthe memoran- dun it was stated that state depart ment now was awaiting a response from Great Britain to request for copies of orders to armed British mer- chant vessels Germany has charged that these ships were instructed to act aggressively against submarines and has submitted photographic cop ies of orders taken some time ago from captured craft.

(Ry Review Leased Wire )

WASHINGTON, April 26-President Wilson and Senator Stone, chairman of the Senate foreign relations com mittee discussed tonight international questions regarding the United States including the submarine controversy with Gerrany, the Mexican situation and Japanese protest against features in the House immigration bill which will be taken up by the Senate immi- grafton committee tomorrow.
 The conference was devoted chiefly to the submarine issue. While Sena- tor Stone would Tot discuss the de tails. it is known that eventualities which may follow the receipt of Ger maDy's reply to the last note sent by the United States were gone over thoroughly The president did not at tempt to minimize the gravity of the situation, but he has not given up con fdence that a break with Germany may be avoided Senator Stone will lay the results of the conference be- fore the committee tomorrow.
 Secretary Lansing received a re- port lIOUl AUlDdSSduOI 1i'i Dta lin today of 8 conference between the later and chancellor von Bethmann- 5TcIlweg. The secretary would not discuss the report except to say ;t did not refer to the reply. Count von Pernstorff, it was learned, mas sent 10 his foreign o2sce suggestions on the submarine question which he hopes will prevent break in diDlcma, ic relations with the United States. The suggestions were sent in diplomatic relations with the United SJascs. The suggestions were sent in response 10 request of Berlin which WIS con aideled at a conference between the ir perial chancellor and the Kaiser. The exact nature was not reTea,ei.
 The publication by the Stare depart ment Q ia declaration of American governments position on armed ships is expected to have an important bear ing on the submarine questions as a whole Officials stated that the posi- tion of the United States was made known in order that foreign govern ments might shape their course ac- cordingly.

FAILS ID APPEAR CONFERENCE
 DELAYED
Generals Scott And Funston Remain In San Antonio A. waiting Word From Over due Carranzista Emissary
(By Review Leased Wire.) ]

SAN ANTONIO. April 26.- Uncer- tainty regarding the whereabouts of General Obregon and failure to re- ceive the War Department instruct ions as to the conference. caused Gen eral Scott and Funston to abandon their plan to go further toward the border before tomorrow. Before morn ing, 1t is believed, they will have in formation indicating where General Obregon will meet them for the con ference and by the time they get there the War Department will have for warded it's instructions.
 Contradictory reports were receiv- ed during the day concerning the route being taken by CarranZa's min ister of war. At one time it appeared certain that he was heading for Pied ras Negras, opposite Eagle Pass. that the American chief of staff and Gen eral Funston made arrangements for leaving here tonight for that point. Soon came the news that General Ob- ergon was at TorreOn and probably would yet be able to get to either Fl Paso or Eagle Pass before General Obregon could arrive.
 General Funston's orders to Gener- al Pershing, although of a routine character, were such as would indi- cate that there is no plan of withdraw al and reports from Mexico pointed to a resumption of activities against Vil Ia. The cavalry on the southern end of the line was reported whipping the country in that district. Headquart- CTS officials said this did not mean, however, that the activity would be come general again until after the conference. when it will be more clear ly defined what the future actions will
