Washington, April 25.-Further de-
velopments in the pursuit of Villa and
the relations between the United
States and the de facto government
of Mexico now await personal discus
sion of these subjects by the senior
military advisers of the two govern
ments. A conference between Maj
Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff, and
Gen. Obregon, minister of war of the
de facto government, was arranged,
to take place probably in Juarez. Gen.
Scott is in San Antonio, Tex, and Gen.
Obregon is believed to be already on
his way north from Mexico City.
Mr.. Arredondo called at the State
Department to say that his govern
ment asked that some reply be made
to the note of April 18th, suggesting
that American troops be withdrawn
from Mexico.
The ambassador was informed that
no reply could be made to Gen. Car

Lansing is understood to have made
it plain that the Washington govern

given a chance to talk the situation
over with Gen. Obregon before a for

The Methuen Treaty.

/ Louisville Courier-Journal: The
Root Roosevelt school of politics
who have shouted that President
Wilson was wrong in not fighting
to prevent the invasion of Bel
gium,- country with which the
United States had no defensive al
lance, have tried to explain
away the failure of the Roosevelt
administration to stand by the
treaty with Korea, which provid-
ed that if either America or Kor-
ca should be enroached upon by
another Power the other party to
the treaty would exert itself to
prevent the catastrophe. 1t is
pointed out that the treaty was
absurd on it's face because Korea
could not be Of any service to
America.
A case much more like that in
which Korea and America were
involved during the incumbency
OF Col. Roosevelt as President and
Mr.. Root as Secretary of War is
that. in which Great Britain and
Portugal figure at present.
Under the Methuen treaty, now
more than 200 years old, and
made when Portugal was a great
maritime Power, Great Britain
stands pledged to protect Portu-
gal, with her army and navy, in
consideration of Portugal hav-
ing agreed to perform similar |
services in Great Britain s behalf.
Portugal is hardly more able to
help Great Britain than Korea
was to aid America. But the obli-
cations of Great Britain under
the Methuen treaty are not re-
garded, on the Continent or in
Great Britain, as being cancelled
because Portugal has become a
small, unimportant country
since the writing of the treaty,
while Great Britain has become
what Portugal once was, the first
maritime Power of the world.
King Alfonso, because Portugal
is virtually under British protec-
ton, and because the Portuguese
debt is pretty widely distributed
small investors in France,
has thought it necessary to de-
crease his frontier garrisons and
assure the entente that he will in
no circumstances invade Portugal |
while Great Britain is engaged in
war. i,
