Cooperation Is Near in the
Struggle to Capture
Villa
MINOR POINTS
ARE YET IN AIR
But First Chief Approves of
Main Features of Scott
Obregon Agreement

Washington, ID. c., May S.-General
Carranza's approval of the Scott Obrt-
gon agreement, which was announced in
news dispatches Saturday night, is ex-
pected to clear the way for more thor
ough cooperation between the Ameri-
can and Mexican troops in the campaign
against Villa. 1t already has been APP
proved by President Wilson.
Details of the agreement never have
been made public, but it is understood
To provide for more extensive use OF
the railroads by the American forces and
to establish Il definite understanding on
many questions which officials at Wash
ington and at Mexico City have found
might lead to a clash between the Amer
leans and the Carranza soldiers. Reports
that a definite date had been set for
withdrawal of General Pershing's expe-
dition have been officially denied.
No official notification of General Car
ranza's decision had reached Washing
ton late Saturday night and officials were
in ignorance as to the miner points OF
the plan on which the first chief was re
ported as reserving decision. No real OBJ
stacle to an agreement is believed to
have been interposed.
Negotiations for a formal protocol GOV
ering the subject of the expedition is to
be resumed at Washington after the
Scott Obregon agreement has been rati-
fed While the latter deals with the |
military features, it is thought necessary |
to work out diplomatic features through /
regular diplomatic channels. General

that the discussion of the withdrawal OF
the American forces be taken up super
seeded negotiations then in progress Tor

AMENDMENT NO. z
IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT

The essential need of the progres.
sive community of the day is good
roads, says the Sparks Tribune The
advent Of the automobile into CONNER,
cial and social life has made the con.
struction OF good roads an imperative
necessity.
II Is impossible to construct roads
without money. No county in the
State OF Nevada has a sufficient in.
come for the road funds to more than
pay for the upkeep OF its highways.
When they endeavor TO build roads
out of this fund. it is at the expense
of the upkeep OF other roads and the
final result means poorer roads all
over.
The people of the State have under
consideration at this time an amend
ment to be voted for next Tuesday
II Is known as Amendment No. 9. II
provides for increasing the power o
the state TO assume Indebtedness. Al
the present time the borrowing capa
city of the State ia only 100000.
Under the proposed amendment the
State would be in a position to Dor
row up to a million dollars
The Federal Government has appro.
priated S75.OOO,OOO for roads through.
out the Nation, but the use of this
money in any State is contingent upon
the amount the State itself appropri,
ates for the building of roads. If Ne,
vada increases her borrowing capacity
she renders herself in a position to
secure access to Federal funds and
with the joint money, could construct
a highway clear across the State.

PEACE OR WAR
IS THE ISSUE

Speaking at Battle Creek. Mich.
Sept. 90 last, Theodore Roosevelt said :.
Il have been asked what would
have done had been President
when the Lusitania was tOrpedOed
Il would have instantly taken
possession OF every German ship
intcrned in this country and then
would have said: Now we will
discuss, not what We will give,
but what we will give back"
THAT WOULD HAVE MEANT
WAR,
1t would have been challenge TO
the German nation 10 trial at arms.
II would have been violation OF ey-
cry principle of neutrality and at a
time. with all Europe under arms.
when this country was the trustee OF
and the only nation capable OF uphold.
ing neutral rights.
The seizure itself would have been
an act OF war. just "a the seizure OF
German interned ships by Portugal
was regarded as an act of war and
was followed by an immediate declara.
ton Of war by Germany against Por.
tugai
Following the same line of war talk,
speaking at Lewiston. Maine. Aug 81
last, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
The policies OF Americanism and
preparedness. taken together. mean
applied patriotism. There should be
correlation OF policy and armament. .
America, which spranE To the
suCCOr OF Cuba in 1898. has stood an
idle spectator OF the invasion of Bel.
gium. the sinking OF The Lusltania, the
continued slaughter of our own Citi.
zcns, and of the reign of anarchy. ra.
pine and murder In Mexico"
These are tine deliberate deClara.
tions of the man with whom Candidate
Hughes has saiu, II AM IN COM.
PLETE ACCORD" and Hughes has
publicly congratulated Roosevelt for
what he said
From their public statements the
conclusion is inevitable that If either
Roosevelt or Hughes had been Presl-
dent when the Army of the Kaiser In.
vaded Belgium we would have had
war with Germany: that when the
Lusitanla was sunk that We would
have had war with Germany. and that
