CONFERENCE TO Be HELD ON BORDER
War Minister Obregon is Regarded as Virtual
Dictator of Mexico, With Power as
Great as Carranza's.

[By E. T. Conkle. United Press Staff
Correspondent
Ell PASO. Texas, April 25.-The
border meeting arranged between
General Scott and War Minister
Obregon is believed here to indicate
practical acceptance of CarranZa' 8
ablest military leader as the chief
factor In Mexico. The conference is
not expected today to open in less
than week.
In the meantime $4,000 United
States soldiers under General Per-
shing will hold the line from Nami-
quipa to Columbus, N. M. They will
be heavily entrenched at Colonia Dub
Ian and Namiquipa, not because there
are $4,000 Carranza soldiers in Chi
huahua state, but as a precautionary
safety measure.
While the conference between Obre-
gon and Scott was announced for Ell
Paso or Juarez, it is rumored that the
meeting may be held at Eagle Pass.
Juarez has never been friendly to
Obregon. AS travel over Mexican
railways is very uncertain, Obregon
is not expected to reach the border
before next week. 1t is believed here
that Obregon will come as virtual die
tator of Mexico with military power
to enforce any agreement he makes
with Scott regarding the withdrawal
or future conduct Of the expedition in
Mexico.
Firm Measures.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 25.-
Firm measures were expected today
to prevent Carranzistas in northern
Mexico from hindering supply ship
ments to American troops when Gen
eral Funston dispatched messages to
General Pershing to meet the situa-
ton. The expeditionary forces have
suffered severely as result of Car
rama commanders having seized
railroad consignments, General Fun
ston said Food supplies for the men
and carloads of fodder for the cavalry
horses have been held up and In some
cases taken over by Carranzista COM
manders, ostensibly under orders
from Carranza himself, ii was stated
Funston's move to prevent further
seizures was not made public, but it
was stated at headquarters that the
American officials resent the action
Of the Carranza commanders and will
take firm measures" to safeguard
the delivery of shipments both by rail
and motor truck.
The supply situation will be
thoroughly discussed in the confer
ence between Chief of Staff Hugh l..
Scott and General Obregon in their
meeting at the border, 1t was expect
ed today Scott will not leave for the
border until the latter part Of the
week when it is expected Obregon
will appear at the international line,
ready to discuss the expedition

HOW TO AVOID A BREAK
WITHOUT AROUSING PEOPLE

tomorrow When the president left
today for Princeton to vote, he re-
ouesJed that any news of Importance
received during the day from Ambas-
ssdor Gerard be forwarded to him at
once.
The president is familiar with 'he
difficulties facing the German govern
ment, but he feels that this country
has done its part and there will be
no relaxing in the purpose to stop U
boat warfare, pending adoption of
methods meeting American approval.
IT has been reported in official circles
that German officials have assured
Ambassador Gerard that Germany is
ready to make concessions. Whether
or not such assurances will be ac-
centable to the United States can
only be determined after Germany
has halted her present submarine

west of Holy Head and 1873 miles
west of Liverpool.
Ii British troops are embarked for
Ireland to put down what now ap-
pears to be a very serious rebellion,
they probably will board transports
at Liverpool. 1t is possible that one
of the reasons why larger British
forces have not been dispatched to
the western front in France, was the
fear of an outbreak in Ireland.

well paved streets and a number o.
imposing buildings. among them the

LONDON, April 25.-Grave riots
broke out in Ireland yesterday, Aug
ustine Birrell. chief secretary for Ire
land. announced in the house OF com
mons this afternoon.
The rioters seized the Dublin post
office. Soldiers arriving from Cur
ragh. auelled the rioters after
street battle, in which twelve per-
sons were killed. The situation is
now under control of the authorities,
Birrell announced.
The outburst of rioting, 1t is con-
sidered certain, was part of we'll
organized German attempt to stir UP
a great revolution in Ireland. The
attempt of Sir Roger Easement and
a strong force of German sailors to
land on the Irish coast, undoubtedly
was part Of this scheme.
1t is believed here, that the Ger

For several weeks some Irish news
napers have been appearing carrying
seditious articles opposing any par
ticipation in the war on the part OF
Irishmen. The organization known
as the Irish Volunteers has held
parades as counter demonstrations TO
the efforts of English recruiting
agents and despite the strong stand
for the government taken by John
Redmond and other Irish party lead
ers.
The situation has been growing
more serious in the last few weeks
and a number of papers which be-
came particularly violent in their
agitation against RECRUITING, were
suppressed.

ment that this propaganda was car

Open Letter From President
Wilson Asks Cooperation
of the Citizens.

NEW YORK, April 25.-In an open
letter, made public today by the
committee on industrial preparedness
of the naval consulting board, Presi-
dent Wilson asks the cooperation OF
the business men of America in or
ganizing industrially for national de-
fense.
The work will start May first when
agents of the committee will start a
national inventory of factories and
shops with a view to finding out just
what their equipment is and just
what their capacity would be for pro-
ducing war supplies.
In addition to taking the inventory,
the committee proposes to instruct
manufacturers in making war sup
plies and to organize to keep skilled
workmen on the jou of war by the
formation OF an industrial reserve.

German Squadron Driven OFF After Twenty
Minute Battle on East Coast After
Killing Several
ZEPPEuNS MADE RAID WITH BOMBS
First Time Since December 1914 That Attempt
Has Been Made to Terrorize Britains
From the Sea.

connected In the public mind with
Sir Roger Easements attempted
landing on the Irish coast and last
nights midnight Zeppelin raid. The
popular guess was that the Germans
planned three angled campaign of
terrorism, counting upon first starting
an uprising in Ireland and then de-
scending upon the east coast with
cruisers and Zeppelins.
Whether the German cruisers
emerged from the submarine base at
Zeebruge, Belgium, where the several
light vessels capable of serving as
auxiliary cruisers are reported to
have been lying, or whether they de-
scended from the Heligoland naval
base is not yet known. All the raid
ing war ships were described of ex-
ceptional speed.
The raid by the German warships
was preceded by about twenty hours
by similar raid by British warships
and destroyers on Zeebrugge and Bel
gian coast towns held by the Ger
mans, according to News Agency
dispatch from Amsterdam. The Brit
ish bombarded Zeebrugge for some
time, damaging the harbor and docks
and sinking some small ships, the dis
patches said.
Four or five Zeppe1ins participated
in the raid, the war Office announced,
but only two succeeded in penetrat-
ing to Norfolk and Suffolk counties.
TThis is the first time a German
squadron has appeared off the English
east coast since the bombardment OF
Scarborough and other English east
coast towns December 16, 1914.
Lowestoft lies about 100 miles
northeast of London in the county OF
Suffolk. 1t is city of about $4,000
and is noted chiefly as a fashionable
bathing resort and as fishing town.
The older part Of the town lies on
a cliff overlooking the sea. There Is
a lighthouse on the cliff and at its
base is another lighthouse which oc-
cupies a. plot OF ground at the east
ern most coast OF England. Low
estoft has ship building facilities and
it's fishing smacks operate through

LONDON, April 25.-A German
squadron appeared off Lowestoft at
four a. m. today, but was driven off,
the admiralty announced this after
noon.
The raid followed by about five
hours the appearance OF Zeppelins off
the county of Norfolk, few miles
north of Lowestoft and is presumed
to have been part Of an attempt to
terrorize the east coast by simultane-
Gus attacks. The results OF the Zep-
pein raid have not yet been an
nounced, though the first reports
said a number OF incendiary bombs
were dropped.
The Germans were engaged by the
British naval forces and driven off
by British cruisers and destroyers.
Two men, one woman and one
child were killed during the lombard.
ment The material damage done by
the Germans was insignificant, the
admiralty stated.
The German squadron consisted Of
light cruisers.
Two British light cruisers and one
destroyer drove off the Germans.
None Of the warships were sunk. The
engagement lasted twenty minutes.
No Great Damage Done.
LONDON, April 25.-A squadron Of
German light cruisers raided the Eng
lish east coast under cover Of dark
ness at four a. IN. today, but was
driven Off in sharp engagement with
British cruisers and destroyers.
The Germans bombarded the sea-
side resort of Lowestoft, 100 miles
northeast OF London, at long range,
killing two men, woman and child
in their beds. The bombardment did
no great damage.
Engaged by British forces in hot
twenty minute hight, the Germans
made their escape in the darkness.
Two British light cruisers and one
destroyer were hit. but none of the
war ships was sunk.
The German cruiser squadron ap-
peared off I4owestoft five hours after
three Zeppelins dropped seventy in
cendiary bombs, injuring one man,
but did no great damage. At about
the same time as the cruiser raid,
five German war planes attacked the
French port of Dunkirk across the
channel, killing a woman and wound
Ing three men.

ships, the first since the lombard
ment Of Scarborough and Hartlepool
on December 16, 1914, was at once
