Preliminary Conference at
San Reno Arranges to
Dispose First of This Re-
naming Peace Problem
Lloyd George Arrives
q. S. Ambassador To Be Alb
sent; Jugo-Slavs Not Pro-
vided For, Meaning Delay

SAN RENO, April (By The Asso-
ciated Press) s).-Questions in connection
with the peace treaty with Turkey will
comprise the first business to be taken
up by the Supreme Council of the
Allies at it's first formal session here
tomorrow. This was decided UPON at
a conference to-day in the Duvachan
Palace, where. the sessions are to be
held. The session was attended by
Premiers Nitti of Italy, Lloyd George
OF Great Britain and Millerand of
France, who arranged the official pro-
cedure. With the Premiers were For
eign Minister Scialoia Of Italy; Earl
Curzon, the British Foreign Secretary,
and General Berthelot, the French
chief of staff. 1t was agreed that daily
communicates will be issued, as at pre-
vious sessions of the council.
1t developed definitely to-day that
the United States will not be repre-
sented at the conference. The arrival
of Robert Underwood Johnson, Ameri-
can Ambassador to Italy, last evening
on his way to Rome gave rise for a
time to the belief that the American
government had decided to have rep
resentative at the sessions.
Presence Due to Strike
The ambassadors presence over
night between trains, however, was ex-
culties in travel because Of the strike
on Italian railroads. The American
Embassy in Paris made arrangements is
through the courtesy of the Italian
government for the ambassador and
Mrs. Johnson to travel to Rome by wav
of San Reno, and they will leave to-
night for theiy destination by the first
available train.
The Prime Ministers o. the three
great powers-sIitti, Millerand and
Lloyd George have expressed very de-
cided regret that the United States
government is taking no part in what
is regarded as one of the final acts of
the peace conference. SO far as it can
be sensed. the feeling here is that the
absence of America is only a tempo
rary one and that the reasons for her
present detachment are likely to dis
appear.
For the present, the prime ministers.
foreign ministers and bassadors of
France, Great Britain. Italy, Japan.
Belgium and Greece are preoccupied
with problems particularly affecting
themselves, and there is no disposition
to dwell unduly upon the lack of
American parties patton.
The first meeting will be opened at
II o'clock tomorrow morning. The
decision to make the Turkish treaty
the first business was not unexpected,
as there appears to be general agree
ment that as the Turkish question was
one of the main reasons for the call
ing of the conference, it might as
we'll be taken up at the beginning.

ties, among them naval and military

Aqua PRIETA. Sonora, April 49,
Despite resistance from Carranza SOL

commander, has progressed at the rate
Of thirty miles a day, according to a
message received here by Francisco
Elias, a leader in the Sonora revolu-
tionary movement.
After defeating Carranza forces
yesterday, thirty kilometers south of
Guanuphil, Sonora, killing twelve SOL
diers and capturing six wounded and
thirty unwounded prisoners, General
Flores was quoted as having found a
LOGON otive, nine cars, "plenty Of arms"
and some horses The prisoners were
said to include six officers.
More than one thousand troops,
lpally Yaqui Indians, have assem-
bled in Aqua Prieta. Five hundred
more are at Naco, a few miles south
Of here, and one thousand more are en-
route. The troops at Naco are re-
ported to have thirty Browning ma
chine guns.

plished, Obregon's forces would con-
troll every important seaport on the
west coast, and that vast strip of
coast line would give them ample IA
cllltles for the Importation of any
amount of arms and ammunition to
carry the fight back across the Mexican
peninsula direct to Mexico Citv.
The desertion of Carranza garrisons
TO Obregon is not surprising to Amer-
cans who have studied the Mexican
military situation. Carranza generals
throughout Mexico have long been
criticized for severe and niggardly
treatment of their men and in MANY
cases they are said to have pocketed
the entire payrolls received from Mex
ico City. The bulk of the Mexican
Federal army is of the irresponsible
peon class, who are easily exploited,
and Obregon's agents have doubtless
taken advantage Of this.
Mexican officers. however, are not
above intrigue in the majority of cases,
and at the beginning of Obregon's po-
lltical activities hundreds of these.
whose loyalty to Carranza was in the
least questioned, were deprived of
their commands. Likewise Governors
OF several states where the Obregon
FEVER existed were removed from of
tlce. These moves have apparently
stirred up sufficient resentment to play
directly into Obregons hands at the
present time. Obregon's organizing
ability is marked, and it is now ap-
parent that his organizing has been
carefully conceived.
Obregon Friendly With Villa
The generals fricndliness toward
the various rebel leaders in Mexico
including Villa, has been a matter of

nora, bitter enemies of the Carranza
government. The bulk of the Sonora
army is now composed of these fighters,
who in their campaign against Car
rama supplied themselves with abun-
dant arms and ammunition, smuggled
over the Arizona-Sonora border. When
the Yaquis came over to Obregon, Car
rama took steps to reinforce his Fed
eral garrisons in Sonora and this
stirred up resentment. The result was
the Sonora secession and the subse-
quent march down the west coast,
which still continues with considerable
success.
Directly west of Sonora, across the
Sierra Madre mountain range, lies the
state of Chihuahua. virtually con-
trolled by Villa. Villas connection
with Obregon is now acknowledged
The Chihuahua bandit also exercises
considerable power in the more west
erly state of Coanuila.
Flight of Carranza Expected
Again on the east coast, portions Of
the states of Tamaulipas and Vera
Cruz are controlled respectively by
Generals Manuel Palaez and Felix
Diaz. Both of these men are of the
Obregon type-educated and of politi-
cal and military ability. 1t is almost
certain that Obregon has lined up at
least one of them and perhaps both in
general revolt against Carranza.
Thus it would seem that Carranza,
sitting in Mexico City to-day, is in
imminent danger of revolutionary ac-
tivity on every side. His flight from
the capital within the next few weeks
is believed to be more than a mere
possibility. The Obregon movement
in Mexico may become overwhe Ginning
within the briefest time.

There is no difference between the

Mr. Walsh made a long address
