TOLD final TERMS
Withdrawal Conditions viii Be
Laid Down FIatIy BY Lane.
END Of CONFERENCE IS seen

Luis Cabrera Expresses Confidence OF
Peaceful Adjustm ent-carranza Rep
resentative, However, May Ask for
Further Delay.
Atlantic City, N. j.. Nov. 21.-Luis
Cabrera and his colleagues on the
Mexican.American joint commission
will be formally told today by secre-
tary of the Interior Lane, chairman
of the American commission, on just
what terms an agreement providing
for the withdrawal of the American
punitive expedition and the protection
of life and property along the interna-
tional border may be reached.
Fortified by the assurances Of Presi
dent Wilson that he will back the
American representatives in their eff
forts to reach settlement Of the
questions at issue between Mexico and
the United States, SECRETARY Lane re-
turned here. He Immediately went
into conference with DR.. ]. E. Mott
and Judge George Gray, the other
American commissioners. The formal
meeting with the MeXicans will take
place today.
Americans Confident.
The atmosphere of uncertainty and
even hopelessness which has been ap-
parent for many weeks is now entirely
lacking. The Americans appeared
confident that the end of the confer
ence is in sight.
The Mexicans appeared not to take
a pessimistic view of the situation,
Mr.. Cabrera again assuring newspa-
permen that he is hopeful of an amic
able adjustment.
There was no evidence, however,
that he was prepared to recede from
his position, SO long maintained, that
agreement to the plan of the Amer
leans is out of the question.
The plan to be placed before the
Mexicans will contain nothing that is
new to them.
The question at issue is not the
withdrawal of General Pershing's
troops. They will be called back
when the American government is con-
WINGED that it can be done without
jeopardizing the safety of the border.
The more debatable question is the
method OF controlling the border after
they have been taken out.
It was regarded here as not i'm
probable that delay might be caused
by the desire of the Mexicans to COM
municate further with General Car
rama. Mr.. Cabrera said he and his
colleagues will report new develop
ments.
