0BREG0N'S LAST CHANCE ID
 REACH AGREEMENT WITH J.
WASHINGTON HOPEFUL
 OBREGON WILL SIGN
Officials Do Not Believe Breaking Point Has
 Been Reached

Washington, May 11-Administra- General Obregon, Carranza war min ister, would sign immediately the military agreement presented at EI Paso by Generals Scott and Funston, pointed out that General Scott had made no report indicating the agree ment might be signed. Consequent ly officials were not inclined to believe that the negotiations would reach the point where a break would occur be- tween Mexico and the United States
 Unofficial reports said the conferees would meet again today at El Paso. Secretary Baker declared emphatical- ly that he does not expect to order any additional troops to the border soon.
 In certain quarters here the belief was expressed that Obregon might be delaying signing the protocol for the sake of political advantage in Mexico. Secretary Baker expressed the belief that the delay is caused by difficulty in arranging details of a common agreement.
 General Obregon's informal pro- posal for a joint border patrol of Mexican and American troops, tele- graphed by General Scott, apparently was not considered seriously here. It was said President Wilson has indt- cated no change in his former atti- tude that United States troops should remain south of the border until the Carranza government can demon strate beyond doubt it's ability to pre- vent further bandit raids on American border towns. -t
 American consuls, under their orig inal instructions to warn American from Mexico were authorized to leav' their posts and return to the United States if they deem it necessary fo, their safety. Under the instruction: they are to use their own discretion and not await specific orders from the department.

Expert Believes it Would Play
 Into Germany's Hand
PROTESTS SHIFTING VESSELS
Raids On English Coast For Purpose of Forcing Great Britain to Make Change-First Lord Has Decided On In Distribution of Force.

London, May II, 3:48 a. m.-The naval correspondent of the Times in an article in today's issue of that paper, criticises the recent announce ment of Mr. Balfour, first lord of the admiralty that the British fleet was to be redistributed to prevent coast raids by the Germans.
 MT. Balfour's statement' the cor respondent says, lis disquietinS to students of naval warfare because the first lord appears to foreshadow re- versal of that policy of offensive de- fence which we have successfully followed since the fourteenth century.
 Would Play Into Kaiser's Hand.
 ''The object of the Germans in inak- ing these raids is to bring about re- distribution of our naval forces to their own advantage. After the at tack on Hartlepool the admiralty stated that such raids must not be allowed to modify the general naval policy This was sound sense. But now MT. Balfour suddenly announces that alterations are being made in the distribution of our naval forces.
 ''The alterations are as follows First, important naval forces are te-~ ing brought southward; second, sub marines and monitors are to be Used for coast defence The forces brought southWard will, presumably, be based on some port not hitherto useG for that purpose. but the Germans will soon ascertain both the composition of the forces and the harbor where they are stationed. Then as the Ger mans use only vessels of the highest speed for these raids, any force set aside to deal herewith must have a similar quality as we'll as a prepon- derance in gun power.
 "The weakness of this strategica1 change lies in the substitution of squadrons in fixed positions on our coast for periodical sweeps which we have been told the battle fleet is in the habit of making through the length and breadth of the North Sea
 "As for submarines these have never proved their ability to torpedo boats going at full speed, and raid CTS are likely to have little difficulty in avoiding their attentions. The pro- posal to use monitors is the most dis turbing feature of the whole 7chenle. These slow and unwieldly machines may, as fixed floating forts, act as a bait to the enemy. but it can hardly be proposed to station them in such bers as to afford complete coast protection. To employ them for de- fence instead of offence is directly contrary to all approved notions of British strategy"
