Washington, April 25.-Officials

of a favorable settlement was tempered
by Germlny's difficulty in convincing
its people of the justice of President

The kaiser unquestionably wishes to

to face with the necessity for action
at time when it is apparently diff

that there is such a necessity.

Scott Has Full Power.
By Carl d. GrOat.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, April 25.-Clothed al
most in the powers of-a diplomat, Cen
eral Hugh Scott, chief of the army
staff, will endeavor to develop spirit
of greater accord between the Mexican
and American governments at his con.
ference with Alvaro Obregon, constitu-
tionalist war minister.
Scott will explain the American aims
in Mexico and seek TO dissipate the idea
that the operations in pursuit of Fran
cisco Villa are intended to accomplish
any other object than the shattering of
organized banditry. Officials believe
that Scott will silence any new demands
for a withdrawal of the expedition be-
fore its mission is achieved.
Pending this conference, action on
Carranza's suggested withdrawal is held
in allegiance.

Ell Paso, Texas, April 25.-The border
meeting of General Hugh Scott, chief
of staff, and Alvaro Obregon, de facto

there are $4,000 Carranzistas in Chihua-

While the Scott-Obregon conference
has been announced s1r FL Paso and Ju-
arez, it is now rumOred that itmay ac-
cur in Eagle Pass, Texas. Juarez has
never been friendly to Obregon. AS
railroad travel is uncertain, Obregon is
not expected at the border before next

virtual dictator empowered to enforce
any agreement with Scott with regard
to the withdrawal of American troops
or the expeditions future conduct in
Mexico.
