WANT COOPERATION

II. S. Officials Will Propose
That Mexican Govern

VX1ASHINGTON. April 2S.-On the
w eve of the conference at Juarez
between General Obregon, Carranza' S
war minister, and Generals Scott ana
Funston, representing the United
States, it became known here tonight
that the American officers have been
instructed to attempt to work out IN
detail military plans for the cooper
alton of the Mexican and American
troops in dispensing bandit bands, IN
Guiding a division of northern Mexico
into spheres of activity for the two
forces.
xEeneraly speaking the aim of Gen.
erals Scott and Funston will be to
secure the consent of General Obre-
gon to the employment of the Ameri-
can troops in the territory Immediate
ly south of the border and to the or
ganization of the Mexican forces along
definite lines In order that all OF
northern Mexico may be secured thor
oughly for villa and other outlaws
Not Satisfied
General Obregon will be told that
the United States is not yet satisfied
that American border towns will be
free from other raids similar to that
on Columbus If the American troops
are withdrawn. He Will be assured,
however, that the troops will be with
drawn just as soon as there are rea-
sonable grounds for such a belief. He
will be told that the sooner the Mexi-
VAN troops give complete co-opera-
ton, the sooner the troops will ac-
complish this object

Believe German Head
Means to Explain Fully.
His Views.
WON'T PRESS REPLY
Dispatches From Germany
to Effect That U. S. De-
mands Will Be Met.

WAsHINGToN' April 2s. Am
w bassador Gerard at Berlin, in
advising the state department today
that he had been invited TO confer
with Emperor William at army head
quarters. said he had not been in
formed of the purpose of the confer
ence. In fact, Secretary Lansing said
when announcing the receipt of Mr.
Gerard's dispatch. no explanation of
any kind had accompanied the invi-
tation.
The belief prevails here. however,
that the emperor desires to discuss the
general submarine subject with Am
bassador Gerard and possibly explain
in detail his views for the benefit OF
President Wilson. Diplomats, espe-
cially those attached to reutonic en-
bassies. seemed to regard the confer
ence between the emperor and the
ambassador as holding certain de-
gree of hopefulness
Discuss Matter.
Brief consideration was given the
sumarine issue at today's cabinet
Secretary Lansing was able to give
only the most meaeer information on
the subject. In view OF the activity OF
German government officials and
their apparent intention to reach de-
cison as quickly as possible, the pres
ident is disposed not in instruct Am
tassador Gerard to press for q reply
to the American demand at once. The
question will not be allowed 20 drag
along many more days, however, Ii
was said today.
The attack by submarine on the
British merchantman Industry report
ed today and the placing Of the crew
i'm open boats 120 miles from shore
created an unfavorable impression on
officials, although there were no
Americans on board and therefore the
United States is not directly con-
cerned. Germany has admitted that
it is only proper to place passengers
and crews of attacked vessels in open
boats when they are near shore and
the weather is good.
All Optimistic.
Optimism regarding the ultimate
outcome of the situation was appar-
ent in German circles following the
receipt by the German embassy OF
dispatches from Berlin described as
indicating that Germany would at
tempt to meet the American demands
Because of the visit Of Mr.. Gerard
to the emperor, officials seemed in
clincd tonight to believe 1t would be
impossible for Germany to make re-
ply to the American note until early
next week.

OF OUTLAW CHIEF
Say Pershing's Command
Now Amply Able to
Take Care of Itself.

- OLJrMBUS, n. NJ. April 2S.-The
~ largest force of troops which has
left Columbus since the initial COM
mnnd crossed the border six weeks
ago is encamped tonight on the from
tier. 5 miles west of here. The troops.
consisting of more than regiment of
cavalry, are preparing to cross the
line into Mexico at daybreak tomor-
row.
The soldiers left Columbus upon
orders of General j. j. Pershing, eX-
peditionary commander, and II was
stated at military headquarters here
tonight that no reasons have been
outlined in the order. Persons in
constant touch with the border stu
alton offered various explanations,
one belief expressed being that Cen
eral Pershing feels that his short
ened line OF communication, which
extends from Columbus to San An
,.tonio. distance of about 325 miles,
Us in need of further Strengthening. An
other was that the eXpeditionary COM
mander fears that one of the stipula-
tions in the conference between Gem
erals Scott, Funston and Obregon Will
be that no more American troops
shall cross the boundary and in antici-
shall cross the boundary and Is antici-
his command to a strength that will
enable 1t to cope with any emergency.
Will Come to Columbus
1t was reported here that Major
Generals Scott and Funston will come
to Columbus during one oe the inter-
vals of the conference. Ii was point
ed out that it is probable that the
departmental commander ana chief
of staff may desire to make an in
spection of the eXpeditionary base
to assist them in the redisposition OF
y the troops.
Active preparations for continuing
the expedition continued here today,
aeroplares and a device calculated to
equip motors for railway travel being
tested and supplies being dispatched
to the troops in the field. Plans were
being made also to equip a squadron
Of motorcycles with machine guns. If
these prove practicable they VIII be
used when speedy reinforceme are
needed.
Say Soldiers Gather
Some apprehension was aroused
here today by press reports from the
front that four train loads of Carran-
"a soldiers who previously rad been
withdrawn from the district were be-
ing reconcentratcd near Guerrero.
The ostensibe purpose of tine move.
vnent was given as the prevention OF
,Hhe combination of the adhcrents OF
several Mexican factions in the section
against the Americans. Military au-
thorities here however, seemed sat
isficd that General Pcrsh.ng's COM
mand is amply able to care for it's
self in any emergency which might
develop.

NUBL1N, Tuesday. April 25.-(3
II p. M, via London. April 2S,
1915 a.m.)-Dublin now has been
held up for "a hours by a combina-
tion of members of the Sim Fein So
ciety and followers of James Larkin,
head of the transport workers union
and well known as strike leader.
There has been the same violence
in the city as marked the big street
car strike in 1913, which was headed
by Larkin, but supplemented by the
use of an armed force with military
pretensions and the seizure of
strategic points designed to give the
disturbance the aspect of revolution.
The lord lieutenant of Ireland, in
a proclamation today. calls the move
ment "insurrectionary" and declares
that 1t is due to foreign prompting.
1t is, he says, small" He adds that
stern measures aIe being taken TO
suppress it,"
The revolution thus far is consider
ed an imitation though on a much ex>
tended scale of Fort ChabroF in
Paris. which was held by political
rioters some Is years ago and the
riots in sydney street in London.
While 1t Is declared not to have the
support of the people generally and
even is not considered by some of the
authorities rising, the situation Is
certainly very serious and far beyond
the dimensions of a riot.
DislOcatcd Life.
The trouble has gone on now for "a
hours and has completely dislocated
the life of Dublin. No shops are open
and no business is being transacted.
Street cars have ceased to run and the
gas supply has been cut off. Use of
the telephone between the city and
the suburbs has been forbidden by the
military and the running of trains to
and from the country is very ir-
regular.
Yesterday (Monday) at midday the
Sim Fein revolutionists were as
sembled as If for one of their usual
parades. They were supposed to be
going out for an Easter Monday

ined that this was their purpose.
