ed. Secretary Bakers original in

as to cooperative action with the

wished stress laid The instructions
have not been made public, but 1t is
understood they were not sufficiently
broad to permit General Scott
to take up discussion Of the withdraw
al suggestion at any length.
Cooperation TO BE Discussed.
Secretary Baker had held that mat
ter to be one for the state department
and has confined himself TO the pure
~ military instructions involved in the
bandit chase. His reply today TO
General Scott's report particularly
will enable the latter to indicate
clearly to General Obregon to what
extent the Washington government Is
inclined TO limit the operations of the
troops in Mexico, in view of The sit
guation the Carranza official has de-
scribed. With this question settled,
officials here appear to believe that
the future meetings between the mill
tary advisers of the two governments
would be devoted to the question OF
cooperation.
II has been intimated repeatedly
that the redispostion Of General
Pershing's troops now IN progress
would leave the American forces Sc
cure against any attack that might
be aimed at them and also so placed
as to be able to give positive protec-
! ton to the border territory from
raiders With the troopers thus es-
! tahllshed as a buffer between the
remaining bandit forces and the bor-
der. ii has been suggested that the
administration might be willing &c
hold its ground in a comparatively
limited area beyond the border and
permit the chase to be continued by
the Carranza forces without interfer-
ence. unless it led into the American
