There has been little lessening of precau- tlonary measures since the steps first taken immediately after the Colum- bus raid.

Conference "Satisfactory"

COLONIA DUBLAN, Mex, June l. (By wireless to Columbus, N M.-- The conference between General Ga briel Gavira, commanding northern Chihuahua, and General J. J. Pershing in charge of the punitive expedition, ended tonight very satisfactorily in the words of General Pershing to the press correspondents. Beyond this brief announcement, General Pershing maintained silence, and nothing was revealed by either side as to the na- ture of the subjects discussed and the agreements made in regard to the CO., operation of the two forces against the bandit bands in this territory.
 General Gavira was entertained at dinner tonight in the American camp headquarters as the guest of General Pershing. American regimental flags belonging to the tenth cavalry were draped above the heads of the two commanding officers. Iced drinks were served, which was an event of some importance to the Americans as it was the first time ice had been available in the American camps during the long hot and dusty weeks of the cam paign. Major E. w. Evans of New
 York state discovered the ice.

 ANNAPOLIS, Md, June What the bureau of operations, created 14 months ago, has done to coordinate the navy's activities and to put it on a more efficient basis was detailed by Rear Admiral William s. Benson, chief of operations, at a banquet given tonight by the graduation class of the naval academy.
 Responding to the toast "The navy Admiral Benson declared that Secre- tary Daniels creed was 100 percent efficient for men and ships and that the operations bureau had made pos sible a long step toward realization of such a policy. under which every unit of the fleet will at all times be ready to perform it's functions, what ever the occasion that may require it's service.
 Only "the fragments of OrganiZa ticn,' existed in the navy department before the bureau was created, Ad- lmiral Benson said, and his work ne cessarily began at the bottom. There was no assembled data with which tC work. he declared not even adequate I
 information as to the naval strengtf of other countries. To find what shiI was available for special duty was { task of several hours inquiry. Outlining what has been accomplish ed by the bureau, Admiral Benso1 cited the mobilization of communica tions systems, recently demonstrated by the department; the reorganization of the entire naval service with flas officers in command of all distinct di visions; the measures taken to devel op the submarine and avaiation ser vices; reorganization of the reserv Lships with adequate crews of highl. training men capable of breaking il quickly volunteers in time of war

Informs War Department That Obregon Has Sent More Troops Northward Than He Told Scott He Would Send

 SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June L. Major General Funston today sent the war department all the information he had been able to obtain regarding movements in northern Mexico of Mexican troops. The report was made at the request of the department and the details were not made public here.
 Except for the fact that the num- Der of troops the Mexican minister oi war has sent into Northern Mexico is so much greater than the number he had told Generals Scott and Funston he would send, army officers have seen little to cause them to believe an attack is to be made on the American troops.
 Information that has been received at General Funston's headquarters is of contradictory character but it ap pears certain that the number of Mexi- can troops now in the state of Chi huahua is between 10000 and 30,000. Information as to the number in the state Of Sonora is more exact and places the Mexican army there at 17,00o.
 Generals Gavira and Herrera are the more important general field officers under the direction of General Jacinto | Trevino, commanding the Chihuahua army, but today it was reported that General Francisco Murguia, one of | Obreson's trusted generak officers has been sent northward from the state of Durango.
 The Mexican troops were reported we'll provided with ammunition. 1t was announced today that the third 1 field artillery that has been here will be sent to Eagle Pass and to Laredo to relieve two batteries of the sixth field artillery that will be concentrated at

While the ma- jority of the men entered the na- tional service willingly, six members of the regiment have refused to sign the muster rolls, it was reported to- day on competent authority.
 These men have been arrested and are doing sanitary work and other tasks about the camp under guard, pending the receipt of an order from the war department for their trial. It was indicated at the camp today that they might save themselves the consequences of their refusal by sign ing the muster rolls and rejoining their companies at any time previous to the issuance of the order for their trial

 WASHINGTON, June 1-General Carranza's noJe demanding withdrawal Of American troops from Mexico, has brought no change in the determination of President Wilson to maintain the present troop disposition until the abil- ity of the de facto government to police it's side of the border has been demon- Strated. It was stated authoritatively today that General Pershing's force time has arrived.
 A reply will be made to General Ca rranZa, but the form it will take had not been determined tonight. Pres ident Wilson read the nasty translation of the long communication last night A corrected text is being prepared by the state department for his informa- ton.
 While official comment is withheld, it is understood the tone of the docu- nnont is regarded as decidedly offen- sive, and that certain portions of it, such as the thinly yelled accusation that tho president is playing domestic politics in regard to the troops and may draw a sharp rebuke. It is doubtful according to authorities on the inter national correspondence of the United States if tie government ever has re- ceived a communication cOuched in as offensive terms and containing as many apparent violations of the or 1 dinary uses of diplomacy courtesy a- this 12.000 word arraignment of its , good faith and honesty of purpose. President Wilson himself will decide on the course that shall be pursued. i So far IS could be learned tonight nc 1 conferences or preliminary inquirys have yet been initiated to determine thu nature of the reply.

 The Mexican embassy distributed copies of the new note to all embassies and legations in Washington today, ex- plaining that it did so in an effort to enlist the sympathy of other govern ments for the cause it sets forth Pre- sumably this was done under direction of General Carranza himself Neither state department officials nor members of the diplomatic corps would comment or this phase of the matter.

CHICAGO, June 1.-Political sup porters of Colonel Roosevelt and Jus tice Hughes were jubilant today over the defeat of the attempt made by cer- tain members of the republican nation- al committee to have the contests over delegates heard by sub committees in- stead of by the full committee, which always has decided these disputes.
 When Chairman Hilles suggested that sub committees be named to go over the documents in the contests so that the full committee need not waste time considering trivial disputes, the Roosevelt and Hughes supporters scented a possible plot to have the contests considered in secret sessions

The Germans switched their offen siVe from the region of Le Mort Homme northwest of Verdun, to the sector be- tween the Thiaumont Farm and Vaux. northeast of the fortress and have sue seeded in entering French first line trenches between Fort Douaumont and NauX.
 The attack was made over a front of about two miles and was preceded by violent artillery preparation. The French met the German onslaughts with their machine guns and succeeded in holding back the attacking forces everywhere except at the point between Fort Douaumont and the VauX Pond. Heavy losses were inflicted on the Teu- tons according to Paris.
 The heavy fighting around Le Mort Homme and the AVocourt wood has dwindled to intermittent lombard ments since the repulse of German at tacks and the launching of a counter attack by the French.
