German Government for itself and

By FRANCIS W. HIRST,
Editor of The Economist, London.
LONDON, May 10.—London’s busi
ness leaders are turning to the prob
iem whether the war can be ended by
diplomacy before public insolvency on
the continent becomes unawoidable.
Such insolvency would fall heavily on
‘London as the credit center.
The military deadlock In the West,
after the Verdun failure, and the stiff
attitude of President Wilson toward
German submarine atrocities suggest
the possibility of a settlement favor
able to the Allies in the west and
south, and favorable to the Centra!
Powers in the Near East, and to Rus

EL PASO, TEXAS, May 10.—Co
operative patrol of the border by
American and Mexican troops was
proposed to General Scott today by
General Obregon. The Mexican War
Minister told General Scott that he
believed in this way repetitions of the
Columbus and Glen Springs massa
cres will be prevented,
In the meantime, American cavalry
scouts have crossed the border near
Boquillas, according to dispatches
reaching headquarters today. The
'scouts are presumed to be part of
the command of Major Langhorne’'s
Eighth Cavalry, which has been at
Miller's Ranch, near the border.
Officials declined to say whether the
scouts were merely preceding the
main body of forces or whether they
were only doing scout duty.
General Obregon’s plan, as proposed
to General Scott, is to bring a large
number of Mexican troops up to the
border and station them at various
points, the Americans to do the same.
General Scott gave Obregon no as
surances as to the attitude of the
United States on the matter, He im
mediately referred the matter to the
War Department at Washington.
Army officers termed the proposition
a move to facilitate the withdrawal
of the American forces from Mexico.
Twenty troopers of troop *“A”
Fourteenth Cavalry, arrved at Glen
Springs this afternoon to find the
place deserted, according to word
here. Every inhabitant has fled, fear
ful that Mexicans again will come
}m-rnm the boundary and repeat last
Friday night's murders. The last to
‘h-.n':- the town was Mrs. Dow
i Armantrout and her three children.
Realizing that Uncle Sam “means
ll}usin»us," General Obregon is seeking
a way in which to withdraw gracefully
the demandas of the de facto Govern
ment that American troops in Mexi
can territory immediately return to
their own country. The action of the
United States Government in ordering
more troops to the border and calling
out the militia of Texas, New Mexico,
and Arizona is responsible for the
changed attitude of Obregon.
Tension Is Relieved.
The tension was slightly relieved
lho-re today, and it was predicted by
| American army officers that the sit
uation would continue to {improve.
They believe that the Mexican offi
cials, in order tc avoid intervention,
will now do everything possible to
prevent a break. It is well established
that the representatives of the Amer«
ican Government have explicit in
structions to avoid a rupture of rela
tions,
Whether or not the American
troops would go across the border at
this point was problematical. Colo
nel Sibley, on leaving Marathon for
the front, said it would depend on the
reports of his scouts
Discovery that ralders were former
|“:vrr inzista soldlers did not disturb
the Mexican diplomats. The de facto
