WORLD CLASHES LADEN
WITH DYNAMITE FOR IS,
{By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, April 28 —lnterna
tional complications growing out of
recent developments ir Europe, Cen
tral America and Mexico today were
causing Federal authorities much
concern. Sensational developments,
it was admitted, may take place at
any moment in the following situa
tions:
Possible unneutral activitieg by
Irish-American and German-
American organizations.
A possible dash to sea by Ger
man merchant vessels now lying
in harbors on the Atlantic coast,
should their ownerg be convinced
that the German reply to the
American note will be unfavor
able. These vessels could clear
regularly but their commanders
might try to glip out without
warning so th the Anglo-
French block;dflifif squadrons
would not have notice in time to
intercept them.
Possible violence against Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice, the Britieh
Ambassador, and other leading
British officials in this country as
the result of the rioting in Ireland
and the probable impending exe
cution of Sir Roger Casement.
Possible antl-administration
demonstrations in certain of the
larger American citles where
there is a heavy percentage of the
foreign-born population should
the German Government refuse to
agree to the American demands
regarding submarine warfare,
thus precipitating a diplomatic
break.
Additional wholesale arrests,
belteved impending, as the result
of information secured through
the selzure of the private papers
of Wolf von Igel, German agent.
A general recrudescence of un
neutral activities against muni
tion plants, steamships and simi
lar organizations,
“Loaded With Dynamite.”
Officlals very frankly admit; that
the present situation is loaded with
dynamite, The Department of Jus
tice and the secret service have
pressed Into service during the last
ten days a large number of additional
operatives and officials say they are
now ready for any emergency that
may arise.
A country-wide investigation of the
activities of anti-British Irish-Ameri
cans was undertaken today by the
“neutrality squad” of the Secret Serv
ice and the Department of Justice.
Inguiries were ordered in a score of
citles as to the possible connection of

Worcestershire Yeomanry, who were
holding a position near Quatia, were
attacked by greatly superior Turkish
. forces, before which they fpll back,
flr’htlnx a rear-guard action as they
did so, and inflicting heavy losses
_upon the enemy.
(Quatia is about 24 milles east of
the SBuez Canal on the caravan route
to Fl Kantara.)
“The Worcestershire Yeomanry
made a determined stand at Quatia,
but owing to their horses being put
out of action by the fire of the enemy
And the fact that they were not able
to co-operate with the other regi
ments, a number of them were cap
tured.
“According to prisoners taken from
the enemy, 3..» hostile army consisted
of about 1,000 Germans, as well as
picked troops from the Turkish Ine
fantry that had fought at Adrianople
and on the Gallipoll Peninsula, all
mounted on camels

Mexican to Try to Convince Scott
That Villa Is Dead, Is Re
port at Border.
By WALLACE E. SMITH,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
EL. PASO, TEXAS, April 28.—As
General Alvaro Obregon, Mexican
Minister of War, neared the border
today for the conference in which he
will demand the withdrawal of Amer
ican troops from Mexico, extraordi
nary precautions were taken in both
Juarez and El Paso to guard against
a Villista. outbreak. The streets of
Juarez were patrolled by Mexican
troops, while the American authori
ties kept close watch on residents of
the Mexican quarter of E! Paso.
In the Mexican town several arrests
were made during the night. The
prisoners are suspected of being se
cret adherents of Francisco Villa. The
conference between (General Obregon
an® Major General Hugh L. Scott wi]l
take place tomorrow probably in the
Mexican custom house at Juarez, bul -
Jlet marked as a result of the many
battles which have taken place there
during the Mexican revolutions.
The customs building was deco
rated with flags today and a heavy
fuard of picked Mexican troops was
posted about the structure, all the
rooms of which were searched to pre
vent any foe of Obregon from seeking
a hiding place from which to attempt
to assassinate the War Minaster,
General Gavira and his staff went
early to the Juarez station to await
the arrival of Generl Obregon on a
special train from <Chihuahua City.
General Scott !'s expected to arrive
here with General Funston at 5:30
o'clock this afterneon. There may be
an exchange of official visits this eve
ning, but the formal conference will
be held Saturday.
OBbregon’s arrival was preceded by
reports that he would attempt to con
vince the American officials that Villa
was dead and that therefore there
was no further ground for TUnited
States troops remaining in Mexico.
On his way to the border Obregon
had brought before him two men w ha
clalmed to have carried a litter on
which Villa was hustled away after
the battle of Guerrero.
A Mexican officer In Juarez said
today:
“It is certain that Viila is wounded
or dead. For more than a month now
we have had no report that Villa has
been seen In person. Villa is not the
sort of & man to hideraway if he can
take part in any campaign.”
