EARLY TERMINATION OF
HUNT IS NOW ASSURED
BY CARL d. cROAT

United Press staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. May 3.-Farly
termination of the American cam
paign in Mexico is what the Oregon
Scott agreement spells in the view OF
authorities here today. Hampered
heretofore by the need for maintain
ing strong communication lines al
most paralleling a railroad, General
Pershing has not had the free rein
he desired. Use of the Northwestern
line. granted by Obregon, means
some Of the guard troops can be
utilized for chasing villa bandits.
The only thing remaining to filhll
the agreement is Carranza's o. x.
This, officials think. will be given.
The agreement to establish the Ameri-
can base at Colonia Dublan means
merely that thep resent Casas
Grandes base will be moved north
ward about eight miles and that un-
doubtedly the lines below there will
be shortened in keeping with the
recent orders for re-disposition Of the
forces.
IN effect the agreement is what
Scott's original orders sought. Ameri
cans win patrol Northern Mexico, scat.

tas can chase him 10 the southward, il

repetition Of the Parral clash is. for the

ARMED SHIPS
ON OFFENSIVE
SAY GERMANS
Copy of Alleged Order to
Captains Given to Amer
lean Ambassador.
STATE DEPARTMENT
AWAITS IT'S ARRIVAL
Latter Says There Is Dis
tinction Between Often
sive and Defensive.
STATE DEPARTMENT
AWAITS IT'S ARRIVAL
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The state
de partment tonight intimated that
while the United States stood unalter-
ably for the right Of merchantmen to
carry defense guns, ii Is not now and
never has been contending that Am
orleans could travel with impunity on
ships having orders to act extensively
This information came as result
of Germany's formal note presented
to Secretary Lansing today reiterat-
ing assurances regarding the future
of the conduct Of submarines given in
the Lusitania case, but denying that
these assurances apply to armed al
lied and citing the alleged British in
structions to merchant ship captains
to attack submarines. Should these
allegations be sustained it was init
mated tonight that they have an i'm
portant bearing on the situation. 1t
is felt here that the question of motive
will be the cardinal principle in de-
termining the difference between de-
fensive and offensive armament.
While it believed Great Britain will
combat the German charges, a copy
of the so-called British instructions
were handed Ambassador Gerard in
Berlin today and pending theiv re-
ceipt the state department Is prepared
to consider any overt German act in
the light of facts.
Until it is authoritatfvely stated,
the department probably viii not act
in the case of an American injured
aboard a vessel being used Extensively,
the state department nevertheless
makes broad distinction between re-
sistance and offense.
Congress gave little attention to the
controversy today and it is understood
here tonight the possibility Of diff
culties in the near future as result
of the new German policy are remote.
Officials believe submarines will be
careful not to attack ships upon
which may be Americans.

IN CARNIVAL
N. P. Bryan Wires
Department and Secures
Such Permission.
CAN PARADE WITH
BARRANCA!S TROOPS
Permission Had Been Re-
fused But Senator Bryan
Gets Order Rescinded.

The officers and men of the United
States navy will participate in the
Carnival parades in Pensacola. An
order recently issued by the navy de-
partment prohibiting the participa-
ton Of naval forces in such paradeS
has been rescinded insofar as It re-
iates to Pensacola. This was done
IS the result of efforts on the part of
Unhed States Senator N. p. BRYAN,
who, when acquainted with the con-
ditions, Immediately wired Secretary
of the Navy Daniels and Admiral
Benson, chief aide of the secretary,
and yesterday kilograms were re-
ceived stating that the naval forces
would be permitted to participate in
the parades as heretofore.
This is a big card in Pensacola's
favor, for it will not be permitted in
Mobile or New Orleans. A week ago
the Carnival Association learned that
the secretary of the navy had pro-
hibited further participation in cele-
brations unless they were Of a pa
triotic or historical character.
INT UOuLLdls hIiDNtHE 1Aiab = ElAoct-
cola's celebration would be Of an his
torical character, Immediately wired
Senator Bryan and the latter, without
1elay took up the matter with the
secretary of the navy, urging the lat
ter to rescind the order so far as it
related to Pensacola.
At the same time DR.. Mallory Ken
nedy, Of the CaInival's subject COM
mittee. wired Admiral Benson ac-
quainting him with the details Of the
parade and its character.
Yesterday kilograms were received
by The Journal, Secretary Semmes
Of the Carnival Association and DR..
Kennedy advising that Senator Bry-
ans request had been granted and
officers commanding naval forces at
Pensacola instructed to participate in
the celebration.
President Blocker Of the Carnival
Association will today appoint a spe-
cial committee from that association
to call on the flag officers Of the
cruiser Columbia as we'll as officers
of other naval vessels and arrange
for the men to take part in the pa
rades.
