"A JSday, Notwithstanding the situation
( Mas not materially altered by the
bnferees last night. The optimism ap-
lbeared based largely on the admis-
I sion that another conference would be
held. perhaps today, and that General
Obregon and his military advisers
Z maintained an attitude of hopefulness.
The net result of the conferences al
ready held Is that the Mexican repre-
sentatives insist upon placing the
question OF the withdrawn of General
Pershing's forces ahead OF the ques-
ton Of desperation.
General Scott was expected to re-
ceiye from the war department a COM
munication on which reply could be
proposed to General Obregon. With
this General Obregon believed that CO.
operation in the running down Of BAN
dts that raided across the line might
hes effected.
Whether the conference will take
place before late today was unknown
either at General Obregon's headquar-
ters or at General SCOTS. Because OF
i the new phases suggested by General
Otregon, II was believed probable that
\ he would consult with Carranza and
Il that delays in communicating with
\ the Mexican capital might make the
4 holding OF the conference before to-
morrow impossible.

The ordering into the border coun-
try Of more regular troops and militia
appeared not to worry General Obre-
@Eon. and military men with him. nor
did Juan N. Armador, suh-secretary
5of foreign affairs, appear perturbed.
They assumed that the increasing of
the forces along the border to. an army
of almost of 10000 to be solely for the
protection Of towns on the American
side, and laughed at suggestions that

templated. ssss s

here with close attention. It is gem

has at last begun
No importance is attached TO the

+ lines which is considered an obvious
move as they were not sufficiently
strong to resist an attack on a. large
scale. Although the italian central
position on the Lavarone plateau is
not yet involved It is thought probable
that the principal effort OF the AUS
TRANS will be made in that direction.
1t. seems evident that the Austrian
generals intend to try and carry out
their former plan of smashing a way
through to the vicenza Plain. The
fact that heavy reinforcements have
been moved up under cover of the for
mfdable series Of forts stretching from
Folgaria and Lavarone favors the be-
1 lief that Vicenza is the real objective
lof the offensive.
The French military authorities are
satisfied that the Austrians are doomed
to failure regardless of what efforts
they may make, It is pointed out that
the italians have made every possible
preparation for just such an attack as
1.-THE present and that the most power

stationed at Chihuahua, arrived at Ell

General Funston conditions in the

similar report by telegraph to Wash
