as to render peace impossible.
In the meantime, both the Mexi-
can and American armies are in

Pershing's command, as It has been

alton which may arise. There are
now 1900 American soldiers in
Mexico, all except about 200 along

quipa protected by entrenched and
fortified camps. General Funston Is

larger forces of Mexicans and could

SENATE TO APPROVE
PHILIPPINE BILL

Washington, May 2,--Senate lead
ers Will probably approve the Philip
pine bill as It passed the house, II
was believed today. The senate fav-
ors independence, but will accept the
house measure as better than moth
ing.
The house downed the adminlstra-
tion bill with the Clarke amendment
promising the Islands independence
within four years, and accepted as a
substitute the Jones bill, which pro-
yides for greater self-government and
declares the United States intends to
grant the Philippines independence
at some later date. which Is not given.
Thirty democrats voted with the
republicans in smashing the Clarke
amendment, which had the support
OF the president. This was the first
defeat OF any administration measure
OF any Importance this year.

better cooperation between Ameri-
cans and Mexicans In the hunt for

sador Arredondo strongly desire
withdrawal OF United States troops
from Mexico. II is felt that they may
see the logic OF assisting the expedi-
tion when they realize that the hunt
Is to continue. Concerning this point.
tho administration left no doubt.
Baker has taken no steps to indi-
cate that he anticipated an unamic-
able outcome OF the hi Paso confer
ences. II this is accomplished. the
conference will be considered success
ful, With the conclusion OF the meet
ings Secretary Lansing will be In a
position to discuss with Arredondo
the question Of the withdrawal Of
American troops from Mexican soil.
Intervention advocates at El paso
are endeavoring to befog the atmos-
phere there and influence the opinions
and actions OF the military authorl-
ties, Secretary Baker was informed.
Whether this information came from
official sources was not revealed, but
II apparently was Official. When
shown the border story that inter-
ventionlsts had interviewed General
Hugh Scott. Baker said;
"You know Scott so well that there
Is no need for me to say anything
about that particular phase. l have
heard rumors OF interventionists en-
deavoring to spread information with
a view to influencing the situation"
He made It plain that he had the
utmost confidence In Scott's ability
to handle the situation.

politely to decline to discuss any
other question until the proposition
Of having the American forces leave

Washington, May 2.-"Uncle Sam,
manufacturer. is trying to take care
of more orders than he is physically
equipped to fill."
Except for the foregoing condition,
commerce foreign and domestic-is
the best 1t has been for years. Secre-
tary of Commerce Redfield said to-
day in an interview with the United
Press. Time and an adequate merch-
ant marine are the only remedies ne
cessary to make commerce Of the
United States ascend to dizzy heights
in bulk and value of shipping.
That the European war proved a
big incentive to foreign commerce Of
the United States Is shown in statis-
ties given by the secretary. At the
same time the relative Importance Of
shipments Of strictly war articles has
been generally exaggerated, he said.
"a great many persons believe the
munitions shipment form the bulk Of
our foreign trade" Redfield said.
While It is true that our trade In
arms supplies and articles used by
armies of the belligerent powers is
very great, yet the proportion which
such exports bear to all exports is
not SO relatively large as is generally
believed.
