expects to sign the FL Paso agreement
with General Obregon. Carranzista war
minister, today. establishing between
the two governments the status OF the

Whatever obstacles prevented Obregon
from signing yesterday. were believed to
have been overcome. and he was expect
ed to meet Scott In the last conference
without further hesitation.
Obregon declared his messages from
General Carranza were garbled, and
that this prevented him from dealing as

Officials here frankly expressed doubt
OF this excuse. asserting Carranza prob

submarine demands would AFFECT the

10 expected very shortly-the Lusitania
case will pass into history. That case
was on the point of settlement when
Germany issued the March order that
later brought the two nations to the
brink of break.
The last obstacles will have been re-
moved In the 'Lusitania negotiations
when the President approves Germany's
new orders putting freighters and liners
in the same class-all subject to the rules
of search and seizure as laid down by
international law. The kusitania case
therefore disappears practically on the

one OF the greatest blunders OF the war.

year declined to again volunteer his
services in the cause Of peace. Until

the countries fighting, 1t has been men,
toned. he would make no move. This
suggestion In the minds of many here,
has now come. Whether or not the Presi-

be seen.
Much probably depends on what AM
bassador Gerard has communicated as
to his conference with Kaiser Wilhelm
at great headquarters. The contents of
that h.ghly confidential communication
are teing closely guarded for the time
being. v
In the meantime the President will
dc Eothing in this direction until he
determines whether he can with dignity
accept the new German pledge, as
wholly apart from its discussion of the
