Ell PASO, Texas, May 10.-General
Scott held the whip hand today In
his negotiations with War Minister
Oregon For the first time the
American forces available for duty
along the border in Mexico were
numerically superior to the Mexican
troops and military officials believed
Obregon,s bluff has been called. An
other conference between the war
heads il expected today and author
flies confidently expected full agree
ment of details OF the original plan.
While Scott obdurately refused to
listen to any plan involving time
limit on the expedition, American
military preparations were progress
lng rapidly to throw seven thousand
ADDITIONAL men within striking dis
lance Of Mexico Neither Scott nor
General Funston underestimate the
danger of an explosion which no
diplomatic action could repair. ODre,
Eon is understood to be directing mill
tary movements in Chihuahua state,
and both commanders are dispensing

between Americans and Carranzistas.

ference. after President Wilson or
dered the Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico militia to the border. Juan
Amador, under secretary Of foreign
relations, motored to Ell Paso soon
after the news was received in Juarez
and asked a resumption of the con-
ferences on behalf of Obregon.
The meeting lasted two hours.
Oregon submitted a proposition for
the Americans to return to the border
and from their own soil cooperate
with an equal number Of Carranzistas
in wfping out the bandits. Scott
promptly turned the proposition
down. When the meeting ended, the
conferees accepted SCOTS invitation
TO lunch in his private car and,
parting, the men appeared entirety
friendly, promising resumption OF
negotiations today.
American officials were confident
today that an agreement will be
reached, possibly in this afternoons
meeting The American attitude Is
plain. Obregon knows what Scott
will concede.
In view of these facts, military
authorities could fOresee but one
outcome il the negotiations continue,
namely, an agreement granting the
points the Americans have con-
tended for.

ures represent half Of the entire
force which France stilI has at her
disposal for active fighting.
1.-THE second German attack against
verdun is based on the crushing ef-
feet Of heavy German artillery. The
taking Of small western fortresses at
the beginning Of the war by heavy
artillery was only prelude to the
artillery results being attained today.
At any rate the French have been un-
able to compete with German artil-
lery and ammunition. The enormous
French losses are due partly to the
effect Of German artillery and partly
to the tenacity Of the French who
will not abandon their trenches"
Major Morant, German military
critic, pointed out today that all the
German successes on the east and
west front were gained against enemy
forces numerically superior and that
the Austrians, for year, have held
back an italian force twice as strong
numercally."

LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS.

Grenada county comes up nobly
to the aid of the elect bn of the DEM
ocratic ticket. As ted in these
columns some weeks 70, a commit
tee was named to collect the money
and the real work of collecting has
been done by that ever ready and
public spirited citizen. W. B. Hoffa.
Mr. Hoffa not only did the work of
collecting. but it will be observed
that he put down a very healthy sub
scription.
Let others come forward and make
the total at least $500. The Repub-
hcans are spending more than they
did IN the days of Mark Hanna and
the Democrats must call on the body
OF the people if they have anything
like the adequate amount to cope
with its old time enemy.
DIR. Young's subscription of five
dollars is listed here but he sent his
to National Headquarters some time
ago. His name is given in order
that due credit may be given this
