J JOBREGON HAY DEMAND U. S.
i; RECOGNIZE HIM AS RULER
i i i i i
I ' EL PASO, Tex., April 25. The confer
; jince between Major General Scott and
5 General Alvuro Obregon. which will he
S Jield on tho border during the next 10
Suays, may add further complications to
S iho already tangled relations between the
j; .united States and Mexico. Predictions to
5 "this effect were made here today by men
J jot standing who have abandoned helr In
rjterests In the Interior of Mexico to seek
safety on the northern bank of the Rio
j lOrande.
?i They declared that Obregon would come
m to thq border to represent the Obregon
S faction, which has superseded the Carran
! jzlstas In power. In their reportn on con
S Editions In Mexico they hinted that Obre
5 Jgon. In the course of his negotiations with
5 General Scotf, would Insist that he bo rec
g jognlzed as the one man capable of restor
S VnS peace In Mexico, making this demand
.as a condition under which he would be
ready to render nld In the task of ellml
5 mating Francisco Villa.
g! However much truth there may be In
z the stories brought out of Mexico, army
n, officers admitted today that General
C iScott was confronting a most difficult
Cjtask In his conference with Obregon. The
flatter haB Issued orders to the Mexican
- ;OentoU In northern Mexico that any
g (further advance by the American troops
" 'must be opposed. To Obregon's Influence
5 jts attributed the refusal of the de facto
1 Government to let the United States ex
S ipedltlon use the Mexican railways. He
s 'even refused to let General Pershing use
tne leiegrapn lines ror nis reports to Uen
era Funston.
The first task of concentrating the
C troops where they could dig themselves In
I land prepare for protection In case of a
3 'great Mexfcan upheaval was the with
5,drawal of hundreds of soldiers from the
j moot advanced post toward Namlqulpa,
j where aeneral Pershing has established
; 'his headquarters.
1 (at i'ort Bliss, where it was known that
J la, force believed to number about 300
c men had got out of communication In the
, r'Parral district. Unless these men have
been reached by couriers and effected
-their escape they are surrounded by far
5 superior numbers of Mexicans.
3 1 Villa's reporttd presence at Nonoava,
I northwest of Parral, may Indicate that he
,SHr himself planning to attack any Amerl
Rjcan forces that may be Isolated.
f jORDEKS FPNSTON TO JOIN

border lo meet Gehefal Alro Obregon,
Minister" of War In th Mexican do facto
Government. . .
General Scott said this afternoon he
was uncertain where and when the con
ference would take place.
WASHINGTON. April 25. Itesulls aro
awaited here from the General Scott
General Obregon conference at Juarez.
Clothed with almost a diplomat's pow
ers. General Scott will endeavor to de
velop a spirit of greater accord between
the two Governments. Ho wilt explain
the American alms tn Mexico and seek
to dissipate any Idea that the Villa hunt
Is Intended to do other than shatter ban
ditry through northern Mexico.
Officials here believe he will be able
to still any new demands tor withdrawal
of American forces before their mission
Is accomplished. Pending his session
with Carrama's War Minister, nctlon on
Carranza's suggestions for withdrawal
Is In abeyance. Meantime Carranza prob
ably will refrain from renewing his sug
gestions. Belief grew here that tho bulk of the
advanced forces In Mexico will retlro
much to the north of Parral, thus avoid
ing danger of further clashes with Car
ranztstas or civilians. At the same tlmo
the work of breaking up Villa's bands
wilt continue.
Felix Diaz's operations In Mexico,
coupled with a depressed condition of
the Carranza flat money, are giving of
ficials concern. They say Diaz's revolu
tion plans may mean overthrow of Car
ranza's regime and a return to the old
clentlflco rule, under which Mexico was
burdened for generations.
OBREGON EN ROUTE TO MEET
SCOTT; OFFICIALS PLEASED
WASHINGTON, April 2C Kllseo Arrc
dondo, Carranza's envoy at Washington,
advised Secretary Lansing today that the
do factor Government had ngrepd to a
conference on the border between General
Scott and General Obregon. In tho hope ot
reaching an ngrecment covering tho future
operations of tho American troops In
Mexico.
Secretary Lansing was Informed that
General Ohrcgon stnrtcd from Mexico
City last night for Juarez, nnd that Gen
eral Carranza would like to have both
General Scott and General Funston pres
ent at the conference. The War Depart
ment was advised thin afternoon that
Gonernl Scott was prepai.'ng to return
to Washington with a full oort on con
ditions south of tho bordw .ut upon In
structions of Secretary Baiter ho will go
to El Paso Instead of returning to report
to Secretary Bnker.
Mr. Arredondo called first nt tho State
Department to say that his Government
asked that somo reply ho mnde to tho
note of April 12, suggesting that Ameri
can troops bo withdrawn from Mexico.
Ho wns Informed that tho reply would
bo postponed until tho situation has been
discussed by Obregon nnd Scott.
The latest ndvlces received from Car
ranza Indlcnto clearly that ho Is de
termined to have the American forces
mako nn early evacuation of Mexico. It
will be the duty of General Scott and
General Funston to Impress upon General
Obregon tho fnct that President Wilson Is
unwilling to withdraw tho forcos until
Villa Is dend.
As a result of the conference It Is
deemed probable that Obregon will see
the necessity of picking a force composed
of the better class of his army to co
operate with small columns of tho Per
shing expedition In the- hope of putting
a speedy end to the punitive expedition.
Tho State Department and the Mexican
Embassy appeared to ho pleased at car
ranza's prompt acceptance of the Invita
tion for the conference because It Is be
lieved that the American officers and
General Obregon can reach a satisfactory
agreement.

the Ambassador was supposed to have
used the Sccretitry said:
"The attempted summaries of Ambas
sador Gorard's reports aro entirely er
roneous." This denial had to do entirely with
tho effort to Interpret tho reports of tho
Ambassador. There was no disposition
on the part of the Secretary to assume
a pessimistic attitude.
PAPER SAYS LATIN AMERICA
WOULD HACK WILSON
rtlO JANEIRO, April 25. The press
continues to show approbation of Presi
dent Wilson's course with regards to Ger
many. O. Patz says that the solidarity of the
new continent Is such that should occa
sion arise all the American Governments
would support without reserve the action
of President Wilson.
A Notlcla declares all Indications point
to the evolution of the neutrals toward
war. It adds: "It is Impossible to think
that the United States will back down."

PAIHS, April 25. The German forces
around Salonlca were greatly reduced dur

dun and on the Russian front, accord

Is a small force of Austrian Infantry, with

We have had such unusual records of mileage from Empire Red
Tires that we have discontinued the manufacture of gray tires.
Empire Red Tires have always been a little higher in price than
ordinary tires, and worth it. But although rubber is now soaring
and tire prices going up, for the present we offer Empire Red Tires
at about the prices prevailing last season. This is because of our
manufacturing and- selling concentration on red tires.
On an adjustment basis of 6,000 miles, this is unusual value. '
