 have to pass through the United States
 after entering either at Laredo or Eagle
 Pass or go through a district between
 Torreon and Chihuahua that is infest-

 It is believed by both of them and by
 army officers generally that Obregon will be given to understand that the ; United States expects the pursuit of 1 Villa to be continued relentlessly either
 by his forces or by those of the United
 States, and the United States govern ment will look to his government to gain such control of the Mexican from | tier that the Columbus raid cannot be repeated

UNITED STATES STEEL
 BROKE ALL RECORDS
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, April 25.-All previous records for earnings by the United States Steel corporation were sur passed for the first quarter of the present year according to the de- tailed statement for that period issued after the close of business today. Total earnings amounted to S6O, 11S,624 net income to $51,21S,559 and surplus fer the quarter to $32 2.S5t.171. These figures compare with the previous high record made in the quarter inn mediate preceding, of s51,232.1SS. in earnings s40,S53.113 in net income, and $2S,}00,692 in surplus.
 The most remarkable feature of the statement was the steady rise in monthly earnings with the progress of ! the quarterly period. For January 1 the earnings mounted to S1S.794, ,9l2, swelling to $19.196.396 for the shorter month of February and amounting to $22,722316 in March. Earnings in March were almost twice as much as the preferred and common dividend requirements for the entire quarter.
 The balance for the quarter. after | IlDe1dl allOWanCeS TOT uepIctldllUll, payment applicable to the sinking fund and other outstanding bonds amounted to $45,512.S72. where as a year ago there remained balance of only S915.0S5
 Contrary to expectations in many quarters the directors not only failed to order an extra disbursement on the common stock. but according tc Chairman E. H. Gary, the subject was not even formally discussed Taking the first quarters exhibition as a basis the current month is eX- pected to show earnings of $25,U00 00i with a total Of not less than s10,000,- 000 for the second quarter.

also that arrangements have been com pleted to supply the cavalry commands beyond the border with additional mounts during the period of recuper- ation which is to follow the re-disposi- ton. Officers here said the cavalry mounts undoubtedly were badly worn by the long chase southwark
 There will be no further develop ments in the situation until after the conference between Generals Scott and Obregon, unless the troops are forced to take some action because of attacks upon them. The whole matter of the pursuit of Villa or the withdrawal of the American troops is at complete standstill temporarily.
 There is much speculation as to just what will be discussed at that confer ence. Mexican embassy officials pro- fess to believe that it is the details of the withdrawal of the Americans which will be considered. That is not the view expressed in other quarters, how ever. It is generally regarded as more likely that General Scott will urge in creased cooperation by Carranza troops in the stamping out of brigand- : age along the border, or at least in- ! creased activity by the de facto gov ernment's forces on their own account to accomplish the same object.
 i It is believed here that General Ob- regon will be given the impression that the American troops are prepared to make long stay on their new lines as an outpost guard for the border. He will probably carry back to Mexico City the conviction that they are to remain in Mexico until the danger of border raids is definitely removed, either by joint action in policing the doubtful areas or by the demonstrated ability of Carranza trops to take care of the situation. Whether the capture ol death of Villa himself will be accepted as one of the elements in such a de. cision is not known
 Whatever conclusion the conferenc,
 brings to the two officers it will hay,

 become effective. If they have an, definite plans to recommend after thei
 talk, it will be submitted promptly botl
 to Washington and Mexico City fo
 consideration. So far as now is known
 neither is empowered to enter into al iagreement of any kind involving tn
 actions of their respective govern
 ments.

 Al some length the note argues the impossibility of making search at sea for various reasons among which are -he size of modern steamships and the manner in which contraband has been concealed. A report form Admiral Sir Iohn Jelhcoe, commander of the Grand Fleet. based upon his experiences of eighteen months is included.

 The difference between the British ard the German procedure is that we have acted in the way which uses the least discomfort to neutrals. Instead of sinking neutral ships engaged in trade with enemy. as the Germans have done in so many cases, in direct coutravention of their own prize reg ulations. we examine them. giving az little inconvenience as modern naval conditions will allow. sending them in to port only where this becomes nec- essary"
