Minor Objections.

Ell Paso, May 6.-First Chief Car
rama sent a message to Gen. Alvaro
Obregon tonight informing the Mex
lean minister of war that he had
found the agreement with the United
States satisfactory with the exception
of a few minor points. 1t is believed
that the final conference will be held
tomorrow, when the protocol will be
signed. Gen. Jacinto Trevino. com
mander of the department of the
northeast of Mexico, departed for his
home in Torreon tonight.

Company and the La Boquilla Com
pany, which operate in the neighbor-
hood of Parral. have arranged to start
men and supplies south next Tues
day to resume working their proper
ties, move, it was said. they hardly
would make If they were not assured
of the tranquil conditions.
Notwithstanding Gen. Obregon's
declaration that there has been no
split between himself and Gen. Car
rama, persons here in close touch
with the Mexican situation pointed
out that there is hardly likely to be
an increase in the cordiality of the
two mems relations after Gen. Car
failure to Immediately endorse
Gen. Obregon's action in the confer
ence with Gen. Scott. The border is
beginning to take as much interest i'm
the future relations of the two lead
ers as in the relations between the
United States and Mexico and the
present negotiations between Scott and
Obregon.

In connection with the peace sug.

Lord Robert Cecil. minister Of war

added that ''our attitude. at any rate,

GERMAN DEFENDS WILSON,
MAMMALIAN HARDEN PRAISES
THE PRESIDENT OF UNITED
STATES FOR MORAL
.eee COURAGE.
He Contends Tint Germany Should be
Ashamed Of Those Who SANDER
Americas Chief Executive.

don, May 6.)-After figuratively TAX
ing the public's breath away two
weeks ago by daring article cap
toned, If Were Wilson," Maximil-
lian Harden today returns to an ex-
haustive defence Of President Wilson,
his policy and the entire American
standpoint.
In leader in the Zullunft entitled
The Real Wilson, Herr Harden
praises President Wilson as a "man
of high moral and high spiritual char
|acter Of whom we might be proud If
he We're ours" What the writer
characteristics as lazy ignorance is
represented as 'shattering from the
mantle OF would-be patriotism, which
in reality has nothing, In common
with genuine patriotism when presi-
dent Wilson is assailed as he fre-
lquently has been. 1919
"Ninety-nlne one-hundredths OF all
the so-called war literature" Herr
Harden continues, should be sent to
where it belongs-to the paper mills
and the public should return to books
from which a wide-awake spirit
speaks. Including President Wilson's
THE New Freedom Then perhaps
pare common sense will return to you
and awaken you to the duty Of re-
Fspecting the dignity Of foreign peo-
ples."
f. Herr Harden follows with a. brief
character sketch of President Wilson,
in which he calls the president a
brave Opponent Of evil and abuses"
land alludes to him as "actuated by a
flswe for his people and, posseassd s-of
| ths. will to. lead them to.the heightssof
ll,lS dsaias astef they had gotten into
because they nave read scaaumny ii
newspapers. ~; i. 81
In all his controversies with Ger
many, says, Herr Harden, President
Wilson has acted from absolute con-
viction. Dare we measure by the
standard of students squabble the
complaints Of great free nation led
lby a. man Of the weight and impor-
tance Of President Wilson," asks the
writer. ~ ,
