POPE'S MESSAGE ID PRESIDENT MAY MEAN
 PEACE
Keenest Of Interest Attends Note, Coming Close On Heels Of Germany's Reply. Contents Kept Secret

WASHINGTON, May GA mes sage from Pope Benedict to President Wilson was delivered at the White House today by Monseigneur Giovanni Bozano, the Apostolic Delegate.
 Fears that break between the Un- ited States and Germany would impair the ability of the United States to aid in restoring peace in Europe is said also to have influenced Pope Benedict in communicating with the President. The message. taken in connection with the suggestion in Germany's last note that she was ready to consider peace on certain terms caused deep interest among ocicials here. The Pope, like President Wilson, is under stood to be ready to make peace sug- gestions when he believes the time ripe.
 Up to the present so far as could be learned there has been no intimation from the allied government that peace would be welcomed.
 President Wilson consistently has taken the position that he could not with propriety make further media tion offers unless all parties to the war were ready to discuss the subject.

American Losses, As Previ- ously Reported, Were Two Killed -Mexicans, 30. U. Refugees Rescued

DOUGLAS, May 1-Charles F. Tracy. cowboy who has been chief scout with Colonel George A. Dodd in command of American advanced forces, who is here. on two weeks leave. gives a graphic account of the manner in which Colonel Dood with 150 Seventh Covalrymen routed two hundred Villistas at Tomachic. Chi huahua, April 22.
 Tracy reporte dthe- position of the Villistas 10 Colonel Dodd who was several miles distant from the town. By a quick march the Americans reached the town and charced the Villistas, who were in the streets of the town This was the signal for a volley from the main body of the Mexicans hidden in trenches and be- hind rocks on the hillside above the town. The range was about 1000 yards.
 The Americans in face of hot rifle fire charged the Mexican positions. The fight lasted from 4:30 until after nighuall.
 The Americans used two machine guns with telling effect. The 'Ameri- can losses was two killed and three wounded; that fthe Mexicans 31 dead while they carried many wound ed away.
 Colonel Dodd is a wonder = said Tracy. Although he is GA years old he is always in the lead. always in the thickest of the fight. He eats less, and sleeps less and travels more than any man under him.
 Tracy says on another occasion a badly frightened Mexican reported that two Americans and eight Car. ranza soldiers were being held pris- oners in a Mexican ranch house 30 miles north of Guerrero. Colonel Dodd sent two troops under Captain Hendricks Tracy acted as guide
 As the Americans approached 30 Villistas crept up to a poinI about 50 yards from them and opened fire. None of their bullets were effectice and they wre meaten off.

MINING ASSUMING.

FL PASO. May 6.-COnclusion Ot the negotiations ior the cooperative action of Mexican and American troops still awaited tonight General Venustiano CarranZa's formal endorse ment of the tentative agreement drawn up by General Scott and Obrc- gon
 The next conference will be held Somewhere in Fl Paso as soon as word is received that General Car ranza has been heard from.
 In the meantime. it is pointed out that there is no occasion to be excited over the delay in bringing the negotia tions to an end. Following circum- stances are cited in favor of this view:
 The ,Alvarado Mining and Milling company and the La BoQuilla com hood of Parral. have arranged to start men and supplies south next Tuesday to resume working their property. a move they hardly would make If they were not assured of tranquil condi- tions
 Notwithstanding General Obregons declaration that there has been no split between himself and Carranza. it is pointed out that there is hardly likely to be an increased cordiality of the two mems relations after Gen eral Carranza's failure to immediately endorse Obregon's action in the meet ing with General Scott. This is be- ginning to take as much interest in the future of the two leaders as in the relations between the United States and Mexico and the present conferences between Generals Scott and Obre.on

No Further Action By United States Expected, Awaiting Germany's Proof That Her
 Word Is Good TONE OF MESSAGE IS PLAINLY DISAPPOINTING Also, Conditions Attached are Irritating, But Concessions Have Been Made And Break Averted
fsy Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON. May 6.-The prob ability that diplomatic break with Germany has been aVerte1. at least temporarily. was strengthened today when the ofiicial text of the German note, laid before President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, was .ound to be almost identical with the unofficial version sent to the United States in press dispatches.
 Officials said that should the off cial text bear out the unofficial yer sion they thought it improbable diplo- matic relations vould have to be severed, unless there should be furth- CT attacks upon merchant ships in violation of the new pledges given.
 Disappointment has been indicated. however, over certain features of the German reply and some high officials believe that it at least cannot be ac- cepted un additionally. The Presi- dent and Secretary Lansing studied the text carefully today. going very minutely over the phraseology and the shades of meaning that might be attached to various expressions.
 Opinion as to whether the note re- quires an answer seems divided. De cision rests with the President, and until he has made up his mind. it is unlikely that an official expression of opinion will forthcoming. So far he has not indicated to anyone his final judgment in the matter.
 It is entirely possible that no reply will be sent for the present, at least. and that the President will maintain complete silence for a time, allowing Germany to demonstrate on her own behalf the good faith of her inten- tions to carry out the policy indicated in her new orders to submarine com manders.
 Although the President realizes that the promises given are the cardinal element of the note, he is understood to be displeased over the language used and the conditions apparently attached.
 U. S. May Name Conditions.
 Should the Lote be accepted as satisfactory and a reply sent, it is eX- pected to take the form of declaration that the United States has decided not to sever diplomatic relations as long as the submarine warfare is contained within the limits set forth in the German reply.
 The only indication regarding the personal attitude of President Wilson was obtained today from persons close to the affairs Of the White House. who described him as feeling in position where he could not ques- tion Germany's- good faith. unless the declarations made by the German gov ernment should Tot prove effective. Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, returned to Washington today from New York. He said he had no instructions from his govern ment % discuss the situation with Secretary Lansing. and that he did not intend to go to the State Depart ment unless he should be so instruct ed by Berlin, or Secretary Lansing should invite him to call.
