CniUL'AHL'A CITV. ilex.. April 27.
General Alvaro Obresron. Minister cf
tv.r of the de facto frovernment. will
submit his assurances to Major-Gen-ral
Scott and Funaion at tlieir com
ing conference in Juarez or Kl Paso
that the Carranza forces are now fully
able to cope with the Villista bandits
operating in Southern Chihuahua.
The Minister of War said he hoped to
arrange for an early retirement of the
.American troops from Mexican country.
Before his departure tonight for
Juarez General Obregon, who was ac
companied by General Trevino. Car
ranza commander at Torreon. outlined
to the Associated Press the official pro
posals that he intends to submit to
General Scott and Funston.
Krlctlon With Carranza Denied.
Incidentally the Mexican Minister of
War denied reports that there was any
friction between himself and Gener
Venustiano Carranza.
General ObreRon said regarding- the
coming conference, which la expected
to determine the future military
ourses of both the American and
Mexican troops:
"I am going to Juarez to convince
the American representatives that our
army is more than amply sufficient
to control the small groups of Villista
bandits which are still at large and
outsde the law.
"I hope to arrange the prompt retire
ment of the American troops into their
"own country."
EL. PASO, April 27. It is thought
likely the conference between the
Mexican and American generals will
not be begun until Saturday and that
possibly only the preliminaries will be
settled then. The real work of the
.conferees may not be reached before
fcunday.
Obregoa's Raik Superior.
The meeting place canot be settled
until the arrival of the participants.
The meeting officials thought today,
however, that it probably would be
held in the custom-house in Juarez.
They pointed out that General Obre-
gon's superior rank as Minister of War
for the Carranza government entitled
him to the privilege o remaining on
Mexican soil.
AH the meetings will be secret- It
i believed here that the number of
persons present will be limited. Gen
eral Obregon is accompanied by Gen
eral Trevino. Carranza commander at
Torreon. and it is probable General
Gevira also will attend. There will be
to special need for swelling the
American representation with inter
preters, as General Funston speaks
Spanish fluently. There are plenty of
additional interpreters among Army
men here if they are needed.
Outside the conference both side
will maintain secrecy. Generals Scott
and Funston are coming from San An
tonio in a private car and will live in
It while here. General Obregon is ex
pected to remain in his private car in
J ua rez.

DRAR BILL DROPPED
JITNEY RESTRAINT SOUGHT
Belli nliain Streetear Company
Threatens to Quit.
BKL.L.I.VGHAM. Wash.. April 37. The
Fuft Sound Traction. Light &
Power Company today instituted pro
ceedings in Superior Court auking for
a temporary restraining order against
Jl jitney drivers, to compel them to
.case operations until they have com
plied with the provisions of the state
regulative law and the city regulative
ordinances.
The plaintiff alleges that the jitneys
have combined to cripple streetcar
traffi--. that the losses sustained by the
plaintiff are the result of illegal and
unlicensed competition; that jitney
drivers endanger the lives of pedes
trains by speeding around streetcars
to gather fares, and that unless relief
is gained through the courts in the
enforcements of the laws, the street
railway company must abandon its
service, thus working great incon
venience on the public.
The arguments for the temporary or
dr will be heard next Wednesday.

these things in the hands of diplomacy,
but when diplomacy fails it is time
that this House give serious considera

Government Measure Arouses
Storm From All Parties.
UNMARRIED MEN AFFECTED
Commons Particularly Objects to
Extension Provided for Time
K.xpired Universal Serviqe
1? One Course Open.
LONDON. April 27. A bill providing
for extension of military service was
introduced in the House of Commons
today but aroused such opposition that
the government withdrew it.
Walter Hume Long, president of the
local government board, placed the bill
before the House, saying it was the in
tention of the government to enlist
every unmarried man between the ages
of 18 and 45. It is understood the
bill, embodying aspects of proposals
outlined in the report of the secret ses
sion at which recruiting was taken up,
had been approved by the Ministry and
the Army Council.
Criticism la General.
The measure met with severe criti
cism from all sections of the House.
Premier Asquith announced that in
view of this feeling, the government
would not press it.
Compulsory military service for sin
gle men was provided for in a bill
passed in January. The application of
the measure has been limited, however,
by the existence of many classes of ex
emptions. T.e withdrawal of Mr. Long's bill,
which provides for bringing into serv
ice every unmarried man between 18
and 45 and prolonging for the dura
tion of the war the service of all time
expired men and territorials, left the
question of unattested married men to
be dealth with later.
l'ollcr to He Outlined Later.
The discussion that followed the In
troduction of the bill showed that the
measure was opposed by all parties
as unfair, several members urging that
nothing but all-round compulsion
would prove satisfactory. Particular
objection was raised to the extension
of the service period of time-expired
men.
Being pressed to state what course
the government proposed to adopt. Pre
mier Asquith said he could not be ex
pected to reply on the spur of the
moment, but would consult bis col
leagues and announce the decision
next week.
It 4s understood that two alterna
tives are before the government
either to introduce a bill bringing
into operation the proposals concern
ing unattested married men, given in
the Premier's statement at the secret
session of the House of Commons on
Tuesday or to proceed at once to the
adoption of universal service.

BRITISH SUBMARINE SUNK
t
Germans Say They Also Torpedoed
Cruiser of Arelliusa Class.
BERLIN, April 27. by wireless to Say
ville, N. Y. The German Admiralty an
nounced today that the British sub
marine E-22 had been sunk by German
naval forces. The announcement also
says a British cruiser of the Arethusa
class was hit by a. torpedo from a
German submarine.
There were originally eight light
cruisers of the Arethusa class, the ves
sels being built in 1914-1915. These
vessels displace 3600 tons and carry,
crews of about 300 officers and men.
The cruisers are 410 feet long, 39 feet
beam and 11 feet deep.
The Arethusa was sunk last Febru
ary after striking a mine off the east
coast of England. It was a torpedo
from this vessel which finally sent the
German cruiser Bluecher to the bot
tom after a naval engagement in the
North Sea.

Works Says Situation Is Extremely
"Delicate and Solemn," but Sug
gests That Subject Be Loft
Wholly to President.
WASHINGTON. April 27. Senator
Husting. Democrat, told the Senate to
day that the American Embargo Con
ference had conducted a campaign in
Wisconsin to induce him to support
an embargo resolution against ship
ment of war munitions to Europe. Ha
submitted 1000 letters from Wisconsin.
citizens which he said ail emanated
from the Chicago headquarters of this
organization.
Senator Husting said thousands of
telegrams deluging Congress charging
the President with seeking war with
Germany emanated from the embargo
conference. He declared there was a
"deep laid plot to poison the minds
of citizens all over the country with
the thought that th President wants
war. when every fact gives the lie to
such an assertion.
"Form Letter" Is Used.
The Senator submitted to the Senate
a form letter, signed W. R. McDonald,
secretary of the American Embargo
Conference, sent to citizens of Wis
consin, enclosing forms of other let
ters to be sent him urging support of
an embargo resolution.
- The McDonald letter, read to the
Senate, advised Wisconsin citizens to
co-operate with the embargo confer
ence, "to induce Paul O. Husting to
Join with other Wisconsin representa
tives in supporting an embargo resolu
tion." The letter said the conference
would reimburse the sender for any
expense incurred.
"I received all these letters last
February, about the time there was
considerable discussion on an embargo
resolution," Senator Husting explained
to the Senate. "I thought it was no
use making any public statement about
it because it was the general policy
not to stir these matters up in the Sen
ate. Attempt to Deceive Charged.
"In connection with what is going
on now, I think it is quite relevant
to call attention to this matter.
"It was a deliberate attempt to de
ceive' Senators into the belief that they
were receiving original appeals from
their constituents."
Senator Husting especially attacked
one form of telegram which declared
the sender heard with alarm "rumors
that the countrv was on the verge of
war.
"The cruelty and cunning of this
telegram Is that it was framed weeks
ahead of any crisis," he said, "and lay
for weeks in the. offices of the propa
gandists, waiting for the opportune
time."
Senator Husting urged a Congres
sional inquiry to determine exactly who
is responsible for the propaganda.
"I think the Government should fol
low these messages to their poisonous
source," continued Senator Husting. "It
must be plain to everyone that if this
war continues for a year or so and if
these instances continue, there can be
only one end."
Situation Delicate and Solemn.
Senator Works, Republican, said Tie
had received many telegrams from Cal
ifornia, but he felt the subject should
be left to the President. He asserted
that the situation was "extremely deli
cate and solemn."
"Consequently I am astonished that
any Senator should make such a speech
as we have listened to and I believe
the Senator might well be admonished
to silence, as he has admonished the
senders of these telegrams," added
Senator Works.
"The Senator from California will
have to permit me. as long as I am a
Senator, to be my own judge as to
wlat is or is not fitting for me
to discuss," retorted Senator Husting.
Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, and Sen
ator Sherman, of Illinois, also expressed
disapproval of the telegram campaign.
The discussion ended without action.
