 there will be no joint action. In case raiders cross the border
 into the United States the American government is prepared to pursue them into Mexico. No restrictions will be accepted as to the size of the tions will be recognized. It was pointed out to the MeXicans that by this declaration the Americans did not wish to convey any threat of interven- ton, but that it was merely an ex- pression of determination not to adopt a passive attitude in the face of in- efficiency south of the border.
 When the program was laid before the Mexican commissioners they ap- peared not to believe that the Ameir- cans really meant that the final stage Of the long conference had arrived and that the American proposal was so dractic a character. They offered no debate, but asked time for consi- iteration.
 In the afternoon session the Mexi- cans offered suggestions, the character of which could not be learned The Meyicans refused to discuss any phase of the new situation and the Ameri- cans declined to comment on the counter suggestions. although it was intimated that they were in the nature of notifications.
 The Americans indicated that there was no desire to force precipitate and unconsidered answer from the Mexicans. It is known, however, that they do not propose to wait long for the answer ..
 The opinion was expressed here to- night that the Mexicans are interpos- ing suggestions of notifications to de- lay final action until they can con- municate more fully with their gov ernment
 It was the first day on which Mir Cabrera lost his poise. When he ap- peared before the newspaper men after his conference that lasted until night, he was excited and agitated.

WAS SENT TO BOTTOM BY SUB.

BERLIN, May 15.-A dispatch re- ceived here today states that an un- armed Austrian passenger ship, was torpedoed and sunk without warning Saturday, by an unidentified subma- rine in the Adriatic sea. The report does not state whether any lives were lost or not.
 Government officials are very much concerned over the report, and state that Germany has pledged herself not to sink passenger ships unwarned, in the note to the United States, but that the government of that country cannot expect Germany to keep her promises in this respect unless the United States is able to prevent other nations from making such attacks on the ships of the Central Powers. It is expected that this matter will be off, cially brought to the attention of the United Staes, and an investigation asked. r

GENERAL BOOTH < PREDICTS CHANCE

Believes that Nations Have Learned the Absurdity of Settling Disputes
 by Force and Will Be Willing to Arbitrate Differences in the Future.

LONDON, March S.-Gen. Bram- well Booth of the Salvation Army, celebrated his 6Oth birthday today, when the War Cry published char acter sketch by Harold Begbie en- titled "The Happy Warrior"
 ''It is good to find such man at liberty" writes MT. Begbie, running over with the most splendid optim- ism. General Booth sees deeper into the calamity of this awful war than those who wiring their hands in hor- TOT at it as if hell had been suddenly broken lOose."
 General Booth believes that the present war has convinced the na- tions that force can never settle dis pute, and that the rulers of the bel ligerent nations will be ready to lis ten to arbitration. The enormous losses in property and lives has done much to convince these nations, and he believes the baptism of fire will purge the world for the dawn of a better and brighter day"

AMERICAN OFFICERS WITHDRAW

WASHINGTON. D. C.. May 15.- Advices received here state that the conference held yesterday between General Obregon and Generals Scott and Funston, has closed without any agreement being reached. General Obregon stated that he was willing for the United States troops to re- main in Mexico, but that President Carranza had overruled him in the matter, and insisted that they be withdrawn. As there seemed no way in which the matter might be settled on a basis satisfactory to both sides, the American generals withdrew from the conference after informing Obre- gon that no further concessions would be made, and that the United States troops would remain in Mexico until Villa and his followers were either captured or. killed. or satisfactory proof of his death was produced.
 Obregon was informed that if the Mexican government was willing to cooperate with the United States troops in hunting down the outlaws, this action would be appreciated by the administration, but whether or not they aided in the enterprise, the troops would remain until their pur- pose was accomplished.
