Fears Political Effect of Ap=

IS READY TO COOPERATE
Tacit Understanding Reached Between
Conferees of the Two Governments
for Joint Action Against the Bandit
Element Along Border.


Washington. May 13-It is under
stood a tacit agreement has been
reached by the United States and
Mexico regarding the border situa-
ton.
1t is suggested that General Carran
"a, faced by the political situation in
Mexico. is unwilling to make a writ
ten agreement to which his opponents
could point as indicating a surrender
Of sovereign rights.
Under that theory General Obregon,
it is understood, has given assurances
that every possible means will be en-
ployed by his government to aid in
the speedy determination Of the ban
dts, wnne the formal diplomatic dis
cussion OF the withdrawal suggestion
proceeds.
Ii is possible neither side will en-
deavor to force the negotiations while
the disturbed conditions along the
border continue
On receiving word from Major Cen
eral Scott that the border conferences
with General Obregon had been closed
without agreement Secretary Baker
announced he had directed General
Scott to return to Washington and
/ General Funston to return to his head
quarters in San Antonio.
/ Secretary Baker said the conferees
+ had tried to reach a basis for a writ
/ ten agreement. but found it impossible,
although all interchanges were of the
most friendly character
