FINAL DETAILS ONLY ID bE
 SETTLED
Lusitania Controversy in All Liklihood, will be Settled Within a Week. Optimism in Official Quarters.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The diff ficulty of agreeing upon details is delaying the final Lusitania settle ment. The. The German ambassador and Secretary Lansing conferred to- day. The latter said no final agree ment was reached. although the out look was encouraging. While the principles involved were virtually agreed upon it was learned that until a method of expressing these princi- ples satisfactory to both sides is found, the announcement of settle ment will be withheld. The wording of the tentative proposal. submitted by Germany. is inadequate in certain respects.
 A feeling of optimism regarding the ultimate outcome of the negotiations apparently prevail in official and Teu- tonic diplomatic circles It is freely predicted that a settlement, accept able to both governments. will be reached in a week, unless unforeseen events intervene.
 By Monday the German ambassador should receive a reply to dispatch prepared tonight for the Berlin For eign Office This is believed to con tain the results of his latest efforts and suggestions. regarding certain de- sires of the United States to be em- bodied in the final settlement. It ts authoritatively stated these sugges- tions are related to questions in- volved in the subject of reprisal. and the British lockade which the United States and Germany both declare illegal.
 In consideration of public opinion in the United States, Germany is un- derstood to be playing an important part in hastening a settlement. It is said no definite agreement. relative to indemnity. was reached.

SCOTT URGES UNIVERSAL
 MILITARY
 SERVICE
Compulsory Service for All Men Between Eighteen and Twenty-one Years of Age Advised Chief of Staff.
DECLARES COUNTRY
 NEEDS TWO MILLION
Suggest Term of Enlistment Should Consist of a Six Months Period and Con- tens U. 5. Needs Reserves.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Universal military service in some form in the United States and possibly the require ment that all men between eighteen and twenty-one be given at least six months training as a substitute for the volunteer system, was discussed be- fore the House military committee by Major General Scott, Chief of Staff of the army.
 Scott told the committee the United States would need an army of nearly two million in the event of war It de veloped during the hearing that there were were four million men fin the country between eighteen and twenty one, that seven hundred thousand more reached eighteen annually. With a short military requirement Scott thought the Administration continen- tai army plan offered the most worka- hle solution of national military prob lens. If the plan failed there was no escape from compulsory service.
 With military service imposed on men between eighteen and twenty-one as a patriotic duty with nominal pay he thought it would cost the nation no more for an adeouate force than to maintain the present establishment
 Scott's statement that the country would need an army of nearly two million in the event Of war was ques- toned by Representative Anthony, who asked if it would not be physi- cal impossibility fo rany power to land half million men in the United States in period short of sixty days.
 Citing a table, prepared by the War College division of the General Staff, under date of August, 1914, Scott said Austria had the ships and men to send a force of 72,O0O in the first expedition, LOS 900 in the second. within sixty days France, he added. could send 160.000 in the first expedition and Germany 3s7,OO0.

Despite a theatening and overcast sky, there were added yesterday to the list of prospective Fl Paso excur- sionists four more car owners. These four were Joe Walker, J. L. Brooks. B. L. Smith. of Buxton & Smith. and Martwell Howell of Warren Ranch. It was not day that was conductive to enthusiasm but no abatment of in terest was discovered.
 Yesterday was devoted by the Com mercial Club secretary to ascertain ing definitely those who might be eX- pected to certainly start on the Fl Paso trip Thursday morning if the weather permitted. At the end of the day he had list of IS who had said they could be depended upon and he had also arranged for the accomo- dation of a few of the business men, not car owners, who are prepared to help represent Bisbee and the War ren District. Another list of those who expect to make the trip but have not declared themselves to be cer- tainties numbered Is. Most of these will not be able to determine definite ly that they can go until today or to- morrow, and some not until the last moment. But the "line up" was con sidered highly satisfactory.
 Advices from Oscar Coll in Douglas were received late in the afternoon. He then had seven car owners listed and again expressed confidence that Douglas would send at least ten cars. No further advices were received from Tucson or Tombstone.
 To make final arrangements for the trip and to settle several details a meeting of the excursionists is to be held at the office of the Commercial ! Club Wednesday evening at 7:3O. ! Among the matters to be determined will be the hour for leaving Deming Friday so that Fl Paso may be noti- fed After that meeting. also. the personnel of the party can be sent to Fl Paso and the reservation of ac- comodations made at Deming. Such meeting should furnish the last of the required information. At that time, | too. penants will be supplied for de corating the cars.

cHIsFTANs AT euERETARo

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.-The res tcration of Mexico City as the seat of the Mexican government. apparently is indefinitely postponed. Advice to the State Department rom the Mexi- can embassy indicates that Carranza will remain weeks and probably for months at Queretaro. as the headquar- ;ers of the military and civilian chief tans of the de facto government who are gathered at Queretaro now for a general conference. Obregon is a. mong the arrivals It is expected an announcement of new cabinet will follow the conference.
 While the military situation in Mex ico was simplified by the surrender of the principal Villa forces. it is far from cleared. The de facto govern ment is only fairly started on the work ,of paciicStion. Little hope is enter tained that Villa will leave the eoun- try. Some reports indicate the sue cessful gathering of number of lead CTS in independent bands and yet oper- atiug in Western Mexico.
 The recent capture of Gomez Psla- chic by Benjamin Argumendo is not regarded by the United States as of great importance. notwithstanding it is a suburb of Torreon. Argumendo's appearance in tn enorth aroused inter est because of his personality and rec ord such that 1t is feared he may fill the vacancy as popular rebel leader created by the collapse of Villa.
