ENJOYS Arrive at Agreement Which Calls for Gradual
Withdrawal of Americans From Mexican Soil as
Soon Object of Expedition Is Accomplished.
EXPECT THE END IN ABOUT TWO MONTHS
General Obregon Is Pledged to Throw Every Ounce of
His Available Strength Into the Move; Will Utilize
$4,000 Men for Border Patrol Work

III PASO. May 3.-Mexcan mill
II tary men believe that the with
drawal of the American troops from
Mexico will take place in about two
months. it was learned here tonight.
American officers will not comment
on the subject
The MeXicans say that in view of
the dispositions to be made by Gen
eral Alvaro Obregon in carrying out
the tentative agreement made with
General Hugh l.. Scott, the hunting
down of the bandit groups in Chi
huahua and Durango can scarcely
take more than that period of time.
On assurance from General Car
rama that the bandits are dispersed
the northward movement of Ameri-
can troops will attain full speed and
it will not be long until the last troop
er crosses over the international
boundary line.
In the meantime. it was pointed
out, there would he constant move
ments northward of American de-
tachments so that when the final or
der for withdrawal comes there will
be only a part of the present eXpedi-
tionary force left on Mexican soil.
Expect Reply.
Answers TO the long dispatches sent
today to Washington by General
Scott and to Queretaro by General
Obregon. were not expected to be re-
ceived here before tomorrow. In case
the terms settled upon by General
Scott and General Obregon are ap-
proved by President Wilson and Gen
eral CarranZa the present negotiations
will practically be concluded, al
though the formality of another con-
ference will be gone through.
1t is probable that no American
troop movement will be begun until
the formal signing of an agreement
by the two governments or at least
until General CarranZa has signified
his acceptance of the conditions
stipulated by the Washington gov
ernment.
After that, however. the Mexican
and American troops are expected to
paign that will effectively stamp out
the various bandit groups.
Gradual Retirement.
1t is generally understood here that
the first step to be taken will be a
gradual retirement nOrthward of the
American forces, while the Carranza
troops plunge into the campaign
against the Villstas.

of San Antonio will fall back first
