character which can scarcely be re-
gardcd as meeting the requirements
of the United States.
Persons in close touch with affairs
at the German embassy, however.
continue to express themselves as be-
ing positive that Germany Will make
concessions to the United States which
will prevent the breaking off of diplo-
matte relations. They say the Berlin
government has been advised that the
United States meant just what 1t said
In its note and was not prepared
to enter into any negotiations on the
subject of submarine warfare until
present methods had been abandoned.
1t is felt in German circles that
Germany certainly will agree to
abandon operations Objectionable to
the United States, at least pending
negotiations on the subject. In this
connection it Is pointed out there
even it is possibility that instruc-
tions to this end have already been
issued to submarine commanders,
there not having been reported dur

WTAsHINGTON. May From
w Mexican sources it was learned
today, that. based upon the immed-
late withdrawal of the American
troops General Carranza has Of
fered to place an active army of
twenty five thousand men IN north
ern Mexico as soon as the Anieri-
cans are withdrawn. The offer was
accompanied by assurances, il is said,
that more than half of the force
would be so placed as to guaran-
tee border towns from future ban
dit raids, while the remainder would
be used in a vigorous pursuit of
bandits until the whole territory
adjacent to the border had been
absolutely cleared of these outlaws.
1t was the condition of immediate
American withdrawal. it is under
stood, which led to the interruption
Generals Scott and Funston laid the
situation before President Wilson.
They had no power to deal on that
basis.
Make Concessions.
There is reason to believe that The
American officers now have author
ity to make concessions in the way
of limiting the zone in which Cen
eral Pershing's forces will operate
until a demonstration has been made.
Such questions as that of using the
Mexican railways to supply the
American troops also may be waived.
it is understood, if they embarrass
the de facto government in its do
mestic relations. The American
army officials are confident of their
ability to maintain the shortened
supply lines by motor truck
Just what would be required in the
way of demonstration by the Mex
cans Is not known. The production
of Villas body or of positive proof
| that he has ceased to be factor in
other cause undoubtedly would weigh
| with officials here. The bandit has
! been the only figure among the out
laws of the border region who could
gather about him a force sufficient
| to menace the relations between the
two governments. 1t is understood
| however. that at the FL Paso confer
nece broader ground has been taken
than the mere question of Villas
elimination and that the establish
ment of permanent relief from outlaw
| raids of any sort Is aimed at.
Danger of Clashes.
In explaining General Carranza' S
reasons for not taking immediate

sentatives have pointed to the fact
| that an movement of Mexican troops

force has been operating has been
the subject of instant suspicion by the
American press and also Of military
! reports to the war department In
addition they point out the increasing
danger Of clashes between the two

Secretary Lansing and other Off
cials were asked today II they had

interventionists in FL Paso and else

FIGHT THREATENSAT
CONSERvAT|0NMEET
Look for Clash in Water
Power Reports; Pinchot
Element Strong.

VXIASHINGTON, May 2.--The ma
w tional conservation congress
met here today with threatened
fight on it's hands similar to the one
that nearly split the organization at
its last meeting three years ago and
which ended in victory for Clifford
Pinchot and others who opposed re-
moving from public ownership any OF
the countrys undeveloped water pow
er sites.
Majority and minority water power
committee reports promise to precipi-
tate the clash tomorrow. Speeches at
todsy's sessions by conservationists
from many parts of the country were
overshadowed by the prospects OF the
fight considered inevitable.
The majority water power report
will recommend endorsement of the
Shields bill now pending in congress
which would permit construction OF
dams in navigable streams under IL
censes issued by the secretary of war
and give grantees the right to oper-
ate power plants for fifty years.
Minority members Of the water
power committee who oppose the
Shields bill are part of the Pinchot
element.
Speakers today included NJ L. Alex
ander president of the conservation
commission of Louisiana.

WASHINGTON. May 2. - Two
weeks have passed since the United
States dispatched to Germany its note
demanding that an abandonment OF
present methods of submarine warfare
Immediately be declared and effected
and tonight the state department still
was without any definite information
indicating that the demand will be
compiled with.
AS the days go by and no reply
comes from Berlin and Ambassador
Gerard sends no word regarding the
attitude of the German government
an air of grave concern is beginning
to manifest itself in administration
circles. Publicly. officials continued
to preserve an air of optimism. Pri-
vately no attempt is made to conceal
contrary feeling and this feeling is
certain to become more pronounced
unless some definite news is forth
coming over night.
Length of Time Lends Color.
1t is felt here that the very length
Of time which has been consumed by
the German government in preparing
reply in itself indicates that the
communication will not take the

rect and clear-cut issue raised in the
American note. 1t is feared the reply

Claim Victory in Con-
feree Deliberations.

NTASHINGTON. May 2.--Confer-
w ences of the senate and house
on the army bill have tentatively

various units of these divisions except
the field artillery. The house units
for the field artillery it is said, will
be accepted 10y the senate conferees.
Champions of the senate bill be-
lieved tonight that acceptance of their
method of organization would lead to
final approval Of regular army of
10000 fighting men in time of peace
capable of expansion to 220,0 men
in time of war or threatened war. All
of today was devoted to discussion of
organization, but tomorrow the en-
ferees expect to reach the federal vol
unteer reserve and national guard fea-
lures, which will precipitate prolonged
debate.
Add TO Strength
Under the organization scheme as
tentatively agreed upon there would

regiments, ten cavalry regiments. 10
field artillery regiments. five regi-
ments of engineers. 9S companies OF
coast artillery. two battahons OF

however, silk can be used along with
wool, but it must be used very carefully
and with both knowledge and taste.
The so-Called simple" designs of mod
ern art are not so simple as they appear
To embroder in the new way one must
have a very good sense Of color and Of
design and must have a certain amount
of good craftsmanship and knowledge
to his credit.
The subject he chooses to treat must
be known and understood by him, for
the art of elimination or simplicity is
one of the most difficult there is to know.
The details in some modern designs
are so simpltfed that sometimes they
disappear altogether. In other words
modern embroidery is an art which leaves
much to the Imagination and which seeks
to suggest rather than to put down the
actual thing. 1t is apparent then that
something more than skilled fingers are
required for it, An artistic conscience
and training are the first requisites
If the subject is a combination Of sim
pie forms, say that of little dog face-to-
face with a big lion. these two animal
forms must he felt and understood so
that they will be reproduced in embroi-
derry in such manner that they will con-
vey to the observer what was originally
meant by the designer. Moreover, the
dog must be made to look like a dog not
only in form but also in the appearance
of his coat. The lion, too, must have
the shaggy appearance Of a lion.
In a more ambitious piece of embroi-
derry the wool can be handled by the
needle as paint is by the brush. In this
manner the form is modelled by the lay
of the stitches. subject of this sort
naturally demands knowledge Of model
ing.
A fine sense of color is needed because
making the contour of certain masses by
certain colors is a highly important
necessity contour can easily soften
or harden the appearance of surface it

it is decorative, stimulating, striking and
strong.
But when the modern embroiderers
started in to do with their old tools and
materials the new effects and qualities de-
sired by modern art they found that
something was wrong and that new ma
ter;als were required by the modern art
of embroidery as well as a new spirit.
In other words the simplicity and
breadth of the composition and the color
ing made necessary an equally effective
medium with which to carry 1t out.
The thick silks and mercerized cottons
of the older art of embroidery have some
times been used with very good effect
