The EI Paso Conference
lFrom the New York sun

The conference at Fl Paso between
the American chief of staff, General
scott, and the Mexican Minister OF
War. General Obregon. both men Of
sense and savoir faire and both repre-
sentinr principals who want to avoid
political Intervention, is proceeding sat
isfactorilv. II may be assumed that
General Scott. whom it is an honor for
General Obregon to meet, was instruct
ed to emphasize the desire of the United
States Government TO continue friendly
relations with the first chief and his
military household. IL may be assumed
that General Obregon. who is subordi-
nate TO the civilian head of the inchoate
Mexican Government but really the man
on horsebacE, was expected TO make the
best possible bargain for the withdraw
al of the American tilops which pene'
trated Mexico to take Villa dead OF
alive. General Scott and General OBJ
RECON must have understood each other
and il may he added that General Oh
r. ron is intelligent enough TO know that
the Mexican Constitutionalists cannot
stand against American regulars.
Both these sensible and capable sol
diers have the same object in view
A gentlemens agreement ought not tc
be difficult. However patriotic Gen
eral Obregon may be, whatever his
personal ambition. armed interven.
tion by the United States is the last
thing he wants 10 see. AS for Gen.
eral Scott. he understands, as an ole
Indian fighter, that II Villa is moi
dead he should by this time be secure
from capture. and that there remains
only a dignifed and honorable extri
cation from a dilemma that was moi
foreseen by the administration. Gen
eral Obregon must believe that any
further operations southwark by the
American expedition would be futile

killing OF three American soldiers and child and the
kidnapping of two citizens Of that State. The atrocy
is one that will strengthen American determination to
