Washington, May S.---A note to
Germany has practically been COM

to be brief, Informing Germany
that as long ais the new instruc-

are observed diplomatic relations
will be continued, but that the
United States can not allowt Ger
many to dictate its negotiations
with Great Britain.
The president worked on the
proposed communication early to-
day, following his conference with
Secretary Lansing last night.
While the German note has
averted, for the. present at least,
break in relations, 1t was said to-
day that the president was not sat-
isfied with the apparent conditions
attached by Germany. The United
States stands by it's demand that
Germany cease her attacks on YES

law, regardless of : negotiations
which may be carried on with

Washington, May 8.-A new Ameri-
can expedition already may be across
| the Mexican border in pursuit OF Villa
! bandits who Iraided Glenn Springs anc
| Alpine, Tex, last week. Secretary Bakel
! said today General Funston reported a.
+; to steps taken in that direction. He
| said General Funston's original orders
stood and they gave him authority te
cross whenever the need arose.
Secretary Baker stated that the wal
department considered the agreement
under which the army began the pur-
suit of Villa bandits still in operation
and that under it's terms General Fun
ston will take any steps necessary to-
pursue the band which Friday night
raided the Big Bend country without
Instructions. @r # ~ :.
Army Officers considered it possible
tho not entirely probable :. that Villa
might have participated in the attack
which occurred Friday night. Indica-
tions that more than 500 outlaws might
be hiding in the hills south Of the bor-
der was suggested by General Funston
The apparent ease with which the
raid was conducted gave rise to fears
that it might be duplicated at number
of other localities. - ~,
Word Sent to Carranza. -
No additional report Of the raid had
reached the department at tho time. On
the basis of consuiar dispatches yes
terday, Secretary Lansing has for
warded a report to the de facto govern
ment calling attention to the latest
bandit operations along the border
Stare depaf tInsnt OFFICIALS said IT, was
assumed that prompt pursuit Of the
raiders had been ordered by General
Obregon or his subordinates.
It was believed possible that some
definite cooperation for the capture OF
the raiders might result from the con
ference today between General scott
and General Obregon. 1t is said Gen
eral Carranza approved the Scott OBJ
regan plan with minor: exceptions.
No Surprise to Army Officers.
There was no indication at the de-
partment that steps were in contem-
plation to increase the border forces
because of the Glenn Springs incident.
Secretary Baker would not say whether
General Funston had made representa-
tons on this question. Irsa ar. ...g- g.
Army officers have feared some such
occurrence as that at Glenn Springs
since it became necessary to break up
the border guard into squad patrols, It
is understood that company command
ers in several instances have urged that
their commands be held together for
protection. 's.--i,@ $50 . =,
The state department today received
report Of the raid agreeing with those
received from General Funston and
with press dispatches.
