War Department,
Washington, April 30, 1916, 11.59 p.m.

Secretary of War directs you be informed as follows:

We, of course, cannot foresee result of further conference with General Obregon but suggest that if deadlock seems imminent you adjourn for further instructions from Department so as to gain time to pull together outlying parts of General Pershing’s force. Every precaution should be taken against sudden or general attack.
