Less Hopeful
GERARD CABLES REPORT
By CARL W. ACKERMAN
BKBtm. May 1.
The conferences at the Kaiser's head
quarters nt the frpnt, at which the char
acter of the German reply to the American
,note Is beltiR finally determined, probably
will be concluded tonight.
Ambassador Gerard Is expected to reach
Berlin late this afternoon, It Is believed
that following his talk with the Kmperor
the Ambassador was taken to the German
front.
Preparation of Germany's reply to the
American note on submarine warfare has
been delayed by th.o extended conferences
of high Government officials with Kmperor
William at army headquarters.
It Is regarded at tho Foreign Office
as unlikely that the reply can, reach
Washington before the end of the present
week. According to semiofficial reports,
tho documents will be long, setting forth
In detail many facta concerning which
tho German Government fears that the
United States has gained a false Im
pression. The reply, according to Information
teaching correspondents, will reiterate
Germany's desire to conduct Its submarine
warfare In accord with the dictates of
humanity. Another section will express
the desire of Germany to retain the
friendship of America.
The Vosslbche Zcltunff said editorially
today that tho continuance for tho re
mainder of the war of friendly relations
between Germany and the United States
rests entirely with President Wilson.
Theodore Wolff, writing In tho Tageblatt,
reiterates that everything posslblo must
bo done to avoid a break, and Count He
ventlow. In tho Tagcs Zeliung, Jield fast
to his original dcclarattqn that Germany
must yield nothing.
The only news that has come from
srand army headquarters In several days
yna tho announcement that the American
Ambassador was the Kaiser's guest at
dinner Friday plght.
WASHINGTON RESTIVE
AT DELAY FORECAST; flERARD
CABLES KAISER'S MESSAGE
WASHINGTON, May 1.
Ambassador Gerard has cabled briefly
that he Is forwarding a long report of
his meeting with the German Emperor.
The report Is understood to convoy a mes
sage of g'ood will and friendship from the
German sovereign and to make It clear to
President Wilson and tho American peo
ple that Germany wants peace with the
United States.
All Washington Is now eagerly await
ing the receipt of Mr. Gerard's dispatch,
but up to a" late hour last night It had
not reached the State Department. It Is
expected that It will bo before President
Wilson today.
The threatened delay In Germany's re
ply la causing annoyance.
Though not wishing to minimize the
Importance of any messago of friendship
and good will or tho conciliatory attitude
of the German Kmperor, ofllclals here do
not regard Mr. Gerard's dispatch as likely
to eliminate all tension. The statement
Is reiterated that tho President Is firm in
his stand that Germany must squarely
meet his demands, which call for an Imme
diate abandonment of present methods of
submarine warfare. Secretary Lansing
Ba(d last night that the situation remains
unchanged.
TIME LIMIT REPORTED.
Reports are current in diplomatic cir
cles that president Wilson has set tho
ascjlver&ary of the sinking ot tne iusi
Innfa as the limit for Germany's answer
tojlils note. It was impossible to confirm
the. reports, but friends of the President
were inclined to regard them more seri
ously than mere speculations.
They point out that the President has
told several callers within the last week
that he had virtually made up his mind
as to the length of time he would wait
for5 Germany's reply. Despite his com
mand for "Immediate" action tho Presi
dent has emphasized his desire to give
Germany a last chance.
Germany will have had 18 days for
consideration of tho President's demand
when the anniversary of the Lusitanla'B
sinking arrives, and there are Indications
that the President considers this ample
time.
It Is deemed unlikely that Germany
would trifle with American public opin
ion to the extent of permitting the anni
versary of the Lusltania sinking next
Saturday to pass without definite avow
als of Intentions in the present case. At
any rate, it is felt certain that President
Wilson will not wait longer than Satur
day for a reply, and that unless there Is
early evidence that the note Is ready for
dispatch he will suggest to Mr. Gerard
that the time Is up.
PRESIDENTS MIND MADE UP.
Members of the President's Cabinet
havo also hinted at the fact that the
President's mind was made up as to when
he believed further delay In meeting1 his
demand would not be endured. In reply
to the direct question as to that date,
one Cabinet member significantly com
mented on the fact that the President's
message to Congress was delivered on
April 1? the anniversary of the battle of
Lexington
The President is understood to have
expressed, the opinion at Friday's Cabinet
meeting that the reply had been already
delayed about long enough. Secretary
I ji jibing said after the meeting that no
decision had been reached to press the
matter for an immediate reply, but he
clearly Indicated the United States was
unfavorably impressed with the delay,
and that It would not be tolerated much
longer on any pretext.
It Is recalled that the German Govern-

aster! "Tlitf British merchant vessels, being
generally Armed with mounted guns, have
repeatedly tried to ram submarines so
that a previous search became Impossible.
They cannot, therefore, be treated an
ordinary merchantmen."
This was Germany's position a year ago.
It Is explained, and the Berlin Government
has never receded from it. The memo
randum Issued by tho State Department
last week has made mandatory for Ger
many Immediately to reverse Its attitude
on this point, and Secretary Lansing has
declined to permit Mr. Gerard to discus?
the matter.

Hindenburg Bringing Up Heavy
Guns for Offensive Against
Kuropatkln's Front in
Two Weeks
OTTOMANS BEATEN BACK
1'KTllOOItAD, May 1.
Von Itlmlenhtirg Is bringing un a large
number of heavy guns against the Russian
northern front, nccordlng to dispatches re
ceived here today, forecasting a German
offensive ngsilnst General Kuroatkln3
line within two weeks.
German aviation foices have been In
creased by the arrival of many Fokker
fighting planes. The German object evi
dently Is to drive back Russian aviators
who cross their front on reconnaissance
fitghts.
Weather conditions are becoming more
favorable for fighting on the Rlga-Dvlnsk
front.
Information Hint the left wing of the
Russian adance Into Turkey from the
Caucasus Is nppronchlng Dlarkbekr, on
the Upper Tigris. Is given In a brief note
nt the end of the ofllclal report of last
night. The note follows:
In the Caucasus region near Dlark
bekr we repulsed Turkish advance
guards.
This announcement follows several
brief reports Issued within the last
few weeks, telling of progress made
by the Russians south and west of
Bltlls, which was taken by the Rub
slnns about a month ngo. Dlarkbekr
Is 100 miles west nnd south of IlltHs.
At the time of the fall of Treblzond,
discussion lu military circles here
agreed that this city would, by assur
ing, the Russian northern flank, nitd
nlso by gUIng them the port to use
as an ndvnncod base, ennble the
Grand Duke's nrmlcs to press forward
more rapidly along their cntlro front.
Dlarkbekr hnH long been considered
one of their principal Immediate ob
jectives, but there have hitherto been
no official Intimations that they had
pressed so fast and far toward It.
Dlarbekr, with .Ili.OOO neonlc. Is an
Important trade centre, located on prin
cipal caravan routes, and Is of much strnt
teglc Importance In the Turkish campaign.
A straight lino can be drawn through
Dlarbekr, ending In the northeast ot
Mount Ararat, at tho Russlnn-TurklBh-Perslan
frontier, nnd In the southwest
on the shore of tho Mediterranean west
of Autloch nnd Aleppo, and Dlarbekr
would bo nlmost exactly In tho centre of
the line. It Is about J10 miles fiom the
Caucasus frontier nnd 210 miles from the
Mediterranean as near the geographical
ccntro of the Turkish Empire ns can be
found.
Seventy miles south of Dlarbekr, across
nearly open country. Is Rns-el-Aln, the
present railhead of the Bagdad Hallway.
Aleppo, tho common base of all the Turk
ish operations In Mesopotamia, Egypt and
Arabia, and the thio.it where meet all the
railroads running from Constantinople to
all Syria, Mesopotamia and Arabia, Is 200
miles southwest or Dlarbekr.
From Aleppo It Is only 40 miles to tho
Mediterranean. If this point is I cached
the Russian armies will be In direct touch
with their western allies, and can receive
supplies and equipment by sea from west
ern Europe much more lapldly nnd di
rectly nnd In greater quantity than those
they received overland.
DERNBURG WARNS
AGAINST BREAK
Contlmird from face One
possibility that the American claims thnt
Germany Is responsible may be well
grounded, although the icpre.scntatloiis to
America show that It may havo been due
to a mistake by the commander rather
than to bad Intent.
KARNCSTNUSS OF AMERICA.
The writer s.iys that the present In no
time to discuss America's earnestness or
her disposition "to place Germany upon
n tall moral horse."
"The point today." he adds, "Is that
i America Is convinced of tho Justice of
her demands. That nation has been
seized with an explosive sentiment only
paralleled by her feeling prior to the
Spanish war."
Aside from an nrtlcle by von Iteventlow
In tho Tagcs Zcitungthe Boersen Keltung
Is the only other paper to discuss tho
American situation. It warns the public
against too great optimism, though ad
mitting that Ambassador Gerard's trip to
headquarters is a favorable omen.
From this trip, the paper declares, the
public has drawn the conclusion that Ger
many Is coming unquestionably to an ab
solute understanding, and adds that such
premature conclusions, it should be known,
are not without danger.
"It appears," continues the paper, "as If
a considerable part of tho public regards
the matter with too rosy a view and ns
if the German Government alone could
regulate affairs.
"The only conclusion to be drawn from
the conference at headquarters Is that
Germany Is endeavoring to find a way
to reach an understanding, for good will
on the part of the German Government
to avoid a conflict with America Is not
lacking, and it would be foolish not to do
everything possible to prevent difficulties."
In answer to those who maintain that
a breach or war with the United States
should only be welcomed by Germany,
the Boersen Zeltung earnestly warns Its
readers not to forget the far-reaching im
portance commercially of a German
American war, which would mean a
breach not only for the period of the war
but for years to come,
"Befitting the seriousness of the situa
tion," it concludes, "tho deliberations are
continuing at headquarters, the result of
which will be Judged by history. We do
not know what is thought at Washington,
or whether there are preconceived opin
ions there. If Washington, after all that

f
has occurred, wants a breach, then" we
want It also but only then."
The TAgeszeltung prints prominently
dispatches from the United States con
cerning "anti-breach" movements and a
telegram of protest to the Senate. Count
von Revcntlow draws therefrom Inspira
tion for renewed reiteration that Ger
many must not under nny circumstances
recede one Inch from Its present position.

KI. PASO, Tex.. May 1 The predicted
deadlock In tho conference between Gen
eral Obregon nnd General Scott having
developed, the next step In the diplomatic
exchange rests with tho American Gov
ernment. Whether these will lead to nn
Immediate compromise or drug the con
ference along for many days was not
known to General Scott today.
Plans for further sessions of the con
ference wore hold In abeyance until Scott
could learn what action the Washington
Government wished him to take In view
ot General Obrcgon's determined demand
that tho American troops be withdrawn
from Mexico. Another conference, how
ever. Is expected today.
Scott received a message from the War
Department lato last night hutjahls re
quired an answer which was Immediately
transmitted. It was predicted today that
General Scott at tho next session would
present evldenco to show that tho Mexi
can Government's claims that It Is In
complete control of northern Mexico are
not Justified by the facts.

support of some Carranzlstn soldiers. The
message was brought to tho bolder con
cealed In the ragged clothing of a Mexi
can peon to escape the Mexican censor
ship. The message stated that on April 25,
whllo General Obregon was on his way
to the border, Carranza soldiers com
manded by General Morgla went to the
Magistrate plant nnd demanded the sur
render of all arms and ammunition kopt
tlieie for the defense of the company's
employes nnd property. Louis Zcigor,
local manager, protested that If he gave
up these a number of Americans would
be left helpless, but General Morgla took
the arms. The message said also that
the Carranzlsta soldlera curried away a
quantity of loot.
Two Mexicans employed by the mining
company were loyal and attempted to
conceal part of the arms demanded by
Carranztstas. They were caught and tor
