American Forces Along the Border Now
Numerically Superior to Mexican
Troops Under Obregon.
READY TO AGREE WITH GENERAL SCOTT
"A Few More Soldiers Scattered Along the Line,
Causes War Minister to Cease
Bluffing.

yBy e. T. Conkle, United Press Staff
Correspondent
Ell PASO, Texas. May 10.-General
Scott held the whip hand today ia
bis negotiations with War Minister
Oregon. For the first time the
American forces available for duty
along the border in Mexico were
numerically superior to the Mexican
troops and military officials believed
0bregon's bluff has been called. An.
other conference between the war
heads is expected today and author
flies confidently expected full agree

While Scott obdurately refused to

military preparations were progress

dered the Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico militia to the border. Juan
Amador, under secretary Of foreign
relations, motored to FL Paso soon
after the news was received in Juarez
and asked a resumption of the con-
ferences on behalf of Obregon.
The meeting lasted two hours.
obregon submitted a proposition for
the Americans to return to the border
and from their own soil cooperate
with an equal number Of Carranzistas
in wiping out the bandits. Scott
promptly turned the proposition
down. When the meeting ended, the
conferees accepted Scotts invitation
to lunch in his private car and.
parting, the men appeared entirely
friendly, promising resumption OF
negotiations today.
American officials were confident
today that an agreement will be
reached, possibly in this afternoon s
meeting. The American attitude Is
plain. Obregon knows what Scott
will concede.
In view Of these facts, military
authorities could foresee but one

While officials assume CarranZa IL
acting In good faith, they admit his
attitude is surprising in view OF the
fact that several days ago, Obreger
and Scott reached an agreemen,
which President Wilson later infor,
mally approved.
They cannot explain why. In these
circumstances, new demands for a
time limit on the American expedi
ton have been made. They say
frankly the situation has become
graver. suddenly in the past few
days by Carranza "manana" tactics
But they see in Obregon's latest re
ported compromise plan, a sign that
the Carranza regime is impressed By
the new troop orders and is perhaps
preparing to yield ultimately to tn.
American terms.
The situation as outlined reliably
to the United Press is this:
This government had supposed the
ScottIObregon agreement practically
in effect and that Carranza would
approve it in as much as it was con
tracted by his chief military officer.
Border raids occurred in the mean
time. These had to be checked. More
over, there are evidences Of manfpu-
lation of such actives from the
American side. For this reason
these additional troops were sent.
Stripping the eleven coast artillery
companies from Galveston to Della
ware and sending the field artillery
from Fort Sill, Okla. was discussed
yesterday, but not actually deter
mined until nearly midnight last
might.
The effect of moving fresh forces
to the boundary will be according
to the administration view:
Prevention of border raids.
Possibly persuasion Of Obregon to
give up his time limit demands and
to stand on the agreement made sew
eral days ago.
Stopping of plotting on the Ameri.
can side.
Possibility that the additional
troops would inflame the Mexicans is
discounted by officials. They think.
to the contrary, that it will quell any
post trouble.
AS for Intervention, the administra-
ton believes these very steps are
preventing it and while taking q
grave view Of the situation temper
arily. officials told the United Press
that they are optimistic as to the fu-
ture.

gested that Mexican forces be sent
