Today's meeting took place in Gen.
SCOTS private car on the American side.
When or where the next meeting would
be held was not disclosed.
When Gen. Obregon returned to Juarez
in his touring car he was asked: lis the
conference ended?"
He smiled, shrugged his shoulders and
replied: 1T is just beginning"
A. J. McQuaters, president of the AL
varado Mining & Smelling Co., was again
present at the meeting of the American
and Mexican officers. Neither he nor the
others would discuss what had taken
place.
In Ell Paso tonight the feeling grew
that the situation had taken on added
gravity following the bandit raid in the
Big Bend district 1t was reported on
good authority that most Of today's con-
ferences had to do with the raid and
the steps to be taken to dispense ban
dts in northern Coahuila.
New demands were presented to tn,
Mexican representatives, it was said,
which would include the cooperation Of
the Mexican and American troops
Whatever the reply Of the Mexican min
lister Of war it was evident that he
wished to gain more time. Tonight
more Geographic conversations between
Gen. Obregon and Gen. Carranza took
place.

Petrograd, May 8.-(Via London).-
With the melting SHOWS no longer de-

casian armies from the high Armenian
plateau into the valleys of Asia Minor.
where the Turks. having gathered all
available reinforcements. are ready at
last to make determined stand, the
campaign in Asia Minor has reached a
most interesting and possibly a decisive

The descent Of the Russians westward

panying the descent from a tableland

made satisfactory progress impossible.
To the southwest into Mesopotamia,
however, owing to the fact that the sea
son is further advanced, there, the de-
scent has been easier. and the Turks
south Of Bitlis are being driven from
series Of fortified positions, holly
pursued by Cossacks, who have proved
themselves masters at this sort Of war
fare.
FIanks Forced Back
Thus both the Turkish tanks, that
is, the one along the Black sea and
that south of Bitlis have been bent
back by the severity Of the Russian as
saults. while the Ottoman center be-
fore Erzingan remains slightly ad-
advanced for the reasons just stated.
If the Russians succeed in their pres
ent effort directed against this ex-
tended Turkish center, Erzingan and
Baiburl will soon fall into Russian
hands and the way will be open to Sc
vas.
It must be borne in mind. however,
that, despite the series Of Turkish de-
feats, the main Turkish army is still
virtually intact, since it wisely chose
in most cases to retire without fight

While nothing official was given out at

such was probably the only logical course

Text Of Note
Sent Germany

Washington, May 8.-Follow
ing is the text Of the note cable
today by Secretary Lansing t
Ambassador Gerard at Berli
with instructions to deliver it t
the German minister of foreig
affairs:
1.-THE note Of the Imperial gov.
eminent under date Of May q, 1916,
has received careful consideration
by the government of the United
States. 1t is especially noted as
indicating the purpose Of the I'm
perial government as to the future
that It is prepared to do its ut.
most to confine the operation of
the war for the rest of its duration
to the fighting forces Of the beIIia-
erents, and that it is determined to
impose upon all its commanders at
sea the limitations Of the recogniz-
ed rules Of international law, upon
which the government of the
United States mas insisted.
Throughout the months which
have elapsed since the Imperial
government announced, on Feb. 4,
1915, its submarine policy, now
happily abandoned, the government
OF the United States has been con.
stantly guided and restrained by
motives Of friendship in its patient
efforts to bring to an amicabIe set
Element the critical questions aris-
ing from that policy. Accepting
the Imperial Governments decIa-
ration of it's abandonment of the
policy which has SO seriously men,
aced the good relations between
the two countries, the government
Of the United States will rely upon
a scrupuIous execution henceforth
OF the now altered policy Of tho
Imperial Government such as will
remove the principal danger to an
interruption Of the good relations
existing between the United States
and Germany.
"The government Of the United
States feels it necessary to state
that it takes it for granted that the
Imperial German Government does
not inteno to imply that the main
tenance Of it's newly announced
policy is in any way contingent
upon the course or result Of dipIo-
matte negotiations between the
United States and any other belIig-
erent government, notwithstanding
the fact that certain passages in
the Imperial Governments note of
the fourth instant. might appear
to be susceptible Of that construc-
ton. In order, however, to avoid
any possible Misunderstanding the
government Of the United States
notifies the Imperial Government
that it cannot for a moment en-
terrain, much less discuss, a sus.
eestion that respect by German
naval authorities that the rights
Of citizens Of the United States
upon the high seas should in any
way or in the slightest degree be
made contingent upon the conduct
Of any other government affect.
ing the rights Of neutrals and non-
camnatants. Responsibility in such
matters is single, not joint abso.
