 WAY FOR PEACE IS RUMOR

London, May 6.-The Daily News gives a prominent place to today's issue to a long dispatch from Rot terdam asserting that there is a strong belief in Holland that the Ger man note to the United States was carefully prepared in the hope that it might lead eventually to peace ne- gotiations.

 The Daily News correspondent also says that the Wolff bureau sent out an article this week in which an anonymous neutral discusses tne re- lations between Germany and the United States and suggests that America now has an opportunity to lay the foundations for peace negO- tiations. This article appeared in the same issue of the German ueWs- papers with the text of the reply to the American note.
 This appears" it says, "to be the historic opportunity for America. If the United States maintains an equally firm position against the starvation of Germany as against the German submarine warfare, then there will be an opening for the bel ligerents to consider how they can end this miserable war"

BANDITS ROUTED IN
 CLASH WITH CAVALRY
Forty-tvo Mexicans Killed No Casualties Among
 Americans.

Field Headquarters Near Mamiqui- pa, by Wireless to Columbus N. M., l May 6-A full squadron of two hundred and thirty men of tho
 Eleventh Cavalry surprised and rout- ed much larger force of Villa ban- dits at Ojoazules. 7 miles south of Cusihuiriachic early yesterday. Forty two Mexcans were killed and num- Der wounded. There were no Ameri- can casualties.
 The American command, under Major Robert l.. Howze, had been pursuing the bandits under Generals Cruz Dominguez and Julio Acosta for several days when they encountered them encamped in the huddled adobe huts of Ojosulz.
 The MeXicans were completely sur prised and sprang from their pallets half clothed. After firing a few wild shots they began a flight each man shifting for his own safety Some of them were unable to seize thc1r horses, already jaded from a hard days ride previously, but others made their way into the hills afoot.
 Major Howze said he was still pur- suing the scattered remnant of the band, which is the largest remaining under the Villa red standard. This decisive victory gave much satisfac- tion to military men here. It is believed the band is the same as that defeated at Temochic. April 22 by Col. George A. Dodd's command.
 Fl Paso, Tex, May 6-General Pershing's official report of the de- feat of a Villa band at Ojoazules by Major Mowze described the action as a cavalry charge with pistols, the first to occur since operations were begun. The Americans had ridden thirty miles before meeting the ban dits
 The pursuit of the scattered MoXt- cans was continued for two hours.
 General Pershing reported that six Carranza prisoners the bandits had been holding for execution were re- leased.

Mexican President Expresses Wish for Further Discussion on Sub-
 ieCt Of Withdrawing Troops
ALL MEXICO MAY UNITE
 AGAINST COMMON ENEMY
Conference Between Scott and Funs- ton and Obregon Was in Progress With Understanding That All Would Join Against United States in Case of Trouble.


 Fl Paso, Tex, May 6.-Generals Scott and Funston plan today to hold another conference with General AL varo Obregon in the expectation that before it ends the suggestions of the United States government for co-oper- ative dispersal of the Villa bands in Mexico will take the form of a duly signed protocol.
 Prior to the meeting, however, came reports from Juarez that were not quite so optimistic. It was reported F-that the negotiations might extend in to still another session of the confer ees because Carranza had expressed a wish for further discussion of the sub ject of withdrawal.
 U. s. Will Not Change Attitude.
 While the American conferees will listen attentively to any suggestions submitted by Obregon, there is no chance that any change in the atti- v tude of the United States will take place, it was said here, except on mi nor details.
 From authentic Mexican sources it is learned that during the conferences held here and in Juarez, an inter- party truce has existed in Mexico on the understanding that if trouble arose between the de facto govern ment and the United States all fac tions would unite against the com- mon enemy. General Trevino is re- ported to have received messages 1by 1 telegraph from various Villa chiefs 1 saying that they are ready to put 16,- 100000 rounds of ammunition, now hidden in the mountains, as we'll as l their own services at the disposal of 1 the first chief should a break occur l with Washington.
 No Villistas, Says Obregon.
 There are now no Villistas-only 1 bandits" was the comment of Gener- | al Obregon today when the subject of | operations against Villa and his l bands was mentioned
 There are no VillistaS, as their l cause is dead and gone,' 'Obregon con- tinued Tt is noly only a hunt after 1 outlaws without a flag. It is only | matter of time and diligence before l they are cleared out of our country"
