DETAILS.
NOTE IS .C0NCiLiAToRY ONE
Reply to Wilson's Demands Again Call
Attention to international Law
Violations on Part OF Great
Britain.

Washington.-The German reply t.
the United States has been prepared
In outline. This has been learned from
An authoritative source.
The reply proper is expected to be
brief. limitations OF it's contents have
reached Washington And the importan,
features are expected to be:
First-An assurance that Germany
will conduct her submarine warfare in
accordance with the recognized rules
OF international law. These rules
must be defined, but; in general they
require that the vessel attacked shall
be warned, that she has the right OF
visit and search and that provision
must be made for the safety of pas
sengers and crew.. -.
Second-Changed conditions of ma.
val warfare will be referred to, and
mention will be made of notifications
OF h rules Of such warfare by all the
belligerent countries, and notably
Great Britain. who has attempted to
institute new rules of blockade.
Third-An announcement that Ger

MEXICAN AGREEMENT NEAR
seett-obreson ~conbrence at FL Paso.
May Allow Withdlewai Of Troops
at Later Vate.

FL Faso Iexas.-3arked progress
toward an agreement has been made
by the American an Mexican con-
Ierees considering Uni led States troop
dispositions in Mex 20, according to
unofficial but authoritative advices.
1t is believed nosf the matter may
De threshed out in TIE text day or 30.
Ihls progress was que to the fact, it
was said. that Gerx Oregon. repre-
sentlng the de facfo Mexican govern
ment, had concluded there was no
possibility OF altering the intention Of
the Washington government not to
withdraw Gen. Persh:ng's expedition
airy force Immediately.
The attitude of the Mexican minis
ter Of war is believed to have been
described by a Mexican official closely
conversant with the entire situation,
who said:
Between the two evils you must
choose the lesser. 1t would be folly to
suppose the de facto government de-
sires var.
1t was gathered from this that the
Mexicans had decided not to press the
question of withdrawal with the posi-
bility that a break might follow.
1t has been reported in authorita-
tive quarters that any agreement call
ing for + >oyoperaton Of Mexican and
Amer1c; oops in the dispersal of
the Villa cups would provide that
Gen. Pershing's forces should concen-
trate at Colonia Dublan, the present
base ear Casas Grandes.
1t was pointed out that this spot
was well placed as to climate, that it
had an abundant water supply and
that it would be easy from there to
maintain the present line OF commun-
ication with Columbus, N. NJ.
Selection Of Colonia Dublan as the
base would be in the nature of a con-
cession to the de facto government,
it was said, as it is rather remote
from the districts most infested by
bandits. This would mean that a very
large share of the work of hunting
down bandit bands would fall to the
Car-anza forces. the Americans re-
stricting themselves to running down
such outlaws as a empted to operate
toward the border"

by a monster parade of union workers,

several miles and returned to Wash

way of Madison avenue Members Of
the garment working trades predomi-
mated and later held a mass meeting
preparatory to the calling Of a strike,
following the lockout put into effect by
the members.
The day began with a strike of en-
eineers and firemen on tugboats and
lighters In New York harbor and ad-
jacent waterways. but by nightfall
many of the owners had acceded to the
demands for increased wages and the
water traffic situation a much i'm
proved. Most Of the railroad COM
panies operating tugboats granted the
demands OF the men, but several
commercial companies. still held out.
Many freight vessels were unable to
dock on account of the scarcity of
tugboats, but there vas little delay
in the docking OF passenger vessels.
Negotiations between the engineers
and firemen and their employers con.
tinued and a satisfactory settlement
was expected.
About a thousand dock laborers
went on strike in Brooklyn for an In.
in wages, hampering the move
