(Pepper HIill). These two points, sit
uated on the west and east banks of
the Meuse River, respectively, are key
positions in the defense of the French
fortress,
The fighting during the nine days
that are to elapse before the Crown
Prince c'lehmug his birthday is ex

WASHINGTON, April 27.—With'
Carranza's Government .tottering to
a fall, officials today expressed grave
misgivings as to the future of Ameri
can relations with Mexico. Simulta
neously with the receipt of reports
that General Obregon, Minister. of
|
War in the de facto Government, was |
nearing the border to confer with
General Scott and General Funston,
came word that First Chief Carranza
was belleved to have sought refuge in
flight from Mexico City, supposedly to
Vera Cruz.
' Doubt was expressed, therefore, as
to the binding character of any agree
ment Obregon may enter into with the
American Government if he insists
that he is acting for Carranza. If
carefully-laid plans to oust Carranza
now are successful it {s expected that
Obregon, long slated as the successor
to the present First Chief, immedi
ately will seize the reins of govern
ment.
Fate's Decree Awaited.
It is conceded in all circles that
Obregon controls the Mexican army.
| If another change is to be rung in the
| numerous successlon of heads of the
| Mexican Government, the wonder here
;Is whether Obregon will risk the ire
of the, Mexican populace by acqui
lnsvlng in the presence of the Amerl-‘
can forces in Mexico. Until it is
{knm\‘n just what the fates have in
Ismre for Carranza and his mobile
|de facto Government, officlals here
'Jre not willing to hazard a guess as
|m the outcome of the forthcoming
{ border conference,
i With Carranza's power believed to
| be crumbling into oblivion, another
| problem faces President Wilson and
?Svcrvmr_\' Lansing: What shall be
;mm»- with Henry P. Fletcher, Ambas
| sador-elect to Mexico? For weeks
| Mr. Fletcher has been in Washington
"‘undrr instruction” as State Devart

AMSTERDAM, April 27.—A
semiofficial statement in The Co
logne Gazette prepares the Ger
man people for a partial surren
der to the American demands on
submarine warfare. According to
advices received today, Ggrmany
will yield in order to balk the ef
forts of the Entente Powers to |
gain the complete support of the

BERLIN (via wireless), April 27—
James W. Gerard, American Ambas
sador to Germany, will leave tonight
for German army headquarters, it
was announced today. The Ambassa
dor will be received by Emperor Wil
liam and it is understood that the
submarine question will be fully dh-‘
cussed by the Kaiser and the Ameri
can envoy,
The visit of Mr. Gerard to army
hgadayarters Js being made, it is
stated, at the personal fnvitation of
Emperor Willlam, transmitted to the
American ' Embassy this forenoon
through the Foreign Ofice.
With the feturn of Chancellor von
Bethmann-Hollweg from army head
quarters, where he conferred with
Emperor Willlam, 1t {s expected that
the formal reply to the American
note on submarine warfare will be
immediately prepared and handed to
Ambassador Gerard for transmission
to Washington. Unless unforseen de
lays occur, it was stated at the For
eign Office today, the reply will be
In Washington by Monday,
Crisis Believed Past.
All external indications are that the
crisis has ;u,srwd and that ¢here will
be no break in the relations between
Germany and the United States. An
analysis of the American note causes
it to be viewed by German officialdom
as less stringent than the first hasty
perusal and advance bulletins had
Indicated. |
Its seriousness is In no way under
rated, but moderation Is shown in
most of the editorial comments in the
Berlin and provincial press. A can
vass of the situation made by the In
ternational News Service in all quar
ters revealed no one with a belief
that the affair was so critical that a
settiement could not be reacHed.’
Demands Not New.
Ambassador Gerard has recelved
numerous visits from*' German omM
}Mulu and prominent diplomatic and
Iparlmmonmry leaders. It Is wunder
stood that these visitofs recelved as
surances from the Ambassador that
the United States Government was
making no new demands, but that It
would Insist upon Germany maintain-
Im:: its pledges.

Reaching France
(By International News Service.)
ERLIN, April 27.—Arrival of
B a second Russian contin
gent to aid the Allies in
France aroused as little interest
here as did the first expedition
landed at Marseilles. Information
reaching Berlin says that there
were only 5,000 men in the second
contingent.
Major Moraht, military expert of
the Tageblatt, comments on the
arrival of the Russians in France
as follows: .
“The French people, easily de
ceived, are jubilant about the ar
rival' of these Russians, who made
a three months’ voyage, but the
5 German troops learned in Galicia
sand Poland how to handle these
‘bravest of Russians.’
§ “As to the Russian offensive
{ which was opened to give r.liofg
| to the French, it may be consider- §
|ed #early finjshed. Though the
{ Russian offensive in Armenia s
slowly advancing and Russian
trenches have been constructed on
é‘ the Roumanian frontier, there is no
| possibility that the 'Ruui.p in
s valid’ will be able to obtain a de
%cinion between Riga and Czerno

% been attempted by the Russians.”
