Washington, April 25.-Further de-
velopments in the pursuit of Villa and
the relations between the United
States and the de facto government
of Mexico now await personal discus
sion of these subjects by the senior
military advisers of the two govern
ments. A conference between Maj.
Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief OF staff, and
Gen. Obregon, minister of war of the
de facto government, was arranged,
to take place probably in Juarez. Gen.
Scott is in San Antonio, Tex, and Gen.
Obregcn is believed to be already on
his way north from Mexico City.
Mr.. Arredondo called at the State
Department to say that his govern
ment asked that some reply be made
to the note of April 18th, suggesting
that American troops be withdrawn
from Mexico.
The ambassador was informed that
no reply could be made to Gen. Car
ranza's note at present. Secretary
Lansing is understood to have made
1t plain that the Washington govern
ment was anxious that Gen. Scott be
given chance to talk the situation
over with Gen. Obregon before for
NAL answer was prepared. On his re-
turn to the embassy Mr.. Arredondo
found message announcing that
Gen. Obregan would go to the border.
Pending the conference and any eff
feet IL may have on the situation, Gen.
Funston will carry out his plans for
readjusting his lines in Mexico so as
to make the position of his troops Sc
cure for a stay of any length. Sec
retary Baker reiterated that the au-
under which he acted gave
Gen. Funston full discretion.

Washington. The latest British
note in answer to the American pro-
tests against Allied interferences with
neutral trade, made public at the
State Department, contends that the
practices complained of are "judicially
sound and valid.' and that the relief
which neutrals seek is rather to be
obtained by the mitigation of neces-
sary hardships than by abrupt change
either in the theory or application of
a policy based upon admitted prin-
ciples OF international law carefully
adjusted to the altered conditions of
modern warfare"

ments now to be found in Washington,
Harry Cunningham, secretary. at the
boards meeting last night.
1.-THE Board of Trade has confined. Al
was originally intended tand, l believe.
always will conf1ne). it's actions largely
to things Of civic interest to Washing
tom said Mr.. Cunningham. 1T has
been said by some that we are mac
tive, but if the self-appointed critic
would examine the work of the office.
attend committee meetings and visit
the lawmakers with our committees
they would see that the criticisms were
unfounded The work is done in a
quiet. forceful way, and does not l,ud
any one man or set of men. but en-
deavors to accomplish something for
the community we have the honor to
represent.
Many of the beauties Of this great
city, within the confines Of which we
have the privilege of living. can be
traced to efforts of the Washington
Board of Trade, its able officers and
committees of former years. Much
credit also is due to the untiring eff
forts of the press of Washington, which
has at all times used column after
column of valuable space to advocate
measures for the welfare of our citi-
Zens."
Mr.. Cunningham paid special tribute
to the work of Samuel ]. Prescott.
chairman of the executive committee;
Theodore W. Moves. chairman of the
committee on fiscal relations, and
Charles F. Crane, chairman of the mem :
bership committee. which has added
236 new members to the rolls during
the year just ended. Mr.. Cunningham
also spoke highly of the assistance
given by the assistant secretary, Will
liam NJ. Shuster. and his clerks, Rich
ard L. Conner and Arthur A. Brandt.
In ending his report, Mr.. Cunning
ham urged members of the board to
visit the headquarters of the organiza-
ton occasionally, assuring them q
cordial welcome would always be
found.

Washington Aqueduct.

The committee on water supply re-
CARDS change in the maintenance OF
the Washington aqueduct as IAN in
vasion of the plan provided in the Or
eanic act" according to Mr.. Branden-
burg. who said:
The committee calls attention to the
fact that by the last appropriation act
the expense of maintaining the Wash
inGton aqueduct. amounting to sf24,0oo
for ten months, was taken entirely from
the revenues derived from the city wa
ter rates. whereas formerly it has been
charged on the half-and-half plan to
the general government and the DIS
trict. The committee regards this
change as an invasion of the plan pro-
vided in the organic act. Further ex-
perience will be necessary to determine
whether the water department can
keep up it's expenses and pay this
charge without raising the water rates. y
After praising the work of Maj. Ray
mond w. Pullman, chief of police, and
Of the National Guard of the District of
Columbia, Mr.. Rrandenburg submitted
the following recommendations of the
public order committee:
THAT the board exert it's efforts to
secure q model National Guard armory.
for an increase in the number of prI-
Yates of the police force, for central
police headquarters near the district
building. for a new station house be-
tween precinct stations Nos. 3 and
10. for increase of the number of po-
lice sergeants to the full quota and
for the formation of regular traffic
squad. with captain, lieutenants, ser
geants and regular men,"
In closing his report Mr.. Branden-
burg praised the various officers, COM
mittee chairmen and employees of the
Board of Trade for their loyalty and
support as given during the year just
