As matter of fact, according to

There is no question OF fact that the
administration here is making small

can problem. is pinning its faith to the
constitutionaists.
Officials here seem to place little conf
dence in mediation as a means of bring
ing Huerta to a graceful acceptance Of
his fate. The very fact that the United
States made the abdication of Huerta
a condition precedent to its acceptance
of mediation, gave early Indication OF
the fact that 1t did not enter upon the
negotiations with Observation-Disclosures
necessary to successful mediation.
Mediation Gives Excuse.
On the other hand mediation has given
President Wilson valid excuse for not
extending its military operations beyond
Vera Cruz. At no time has President
Wilson desired to invade Mexico; at no
time has he looked with pleasure upon
mate requirement Of which might be a
protectorate over the southern republic.
Had the United States forces been
compelled to follow up its seizure OF
Vera Cruz with march on Mexico CITY,
the full cost of intervention would have
had to be reaped. Mediation came to
the front just in time to make further
aggressions by the United States un-
necessary at least until Carranza could

The war Office statement declares the
French and English armies have
been driven back with heavy losses
near La Fere and that the German
advance on Paris continues.
The operations all along the line
of battle throughout France are char
acterized as satisfactory and it is
stated that the German forces under
the crown prince, operating from near
Longwy, have enjoyed uninterrupted
success.
These announcements resulted in
widespread rejoicing, coming stimuli
taneously with the opening Of the bat

As to the situation in Prussia it
is announced the German situation
is now excellent. The reinforcements
sent to aid the armies defending East
ern Prussia are now on the scene and
have assumed. the offensive.
Stories that the Russians are Sc
riously menacing the defenses of the
Weichsel (Vistula) river are ridiculed
at the war Office, which insists that
the general offensive Russian move
ment has been checked there.
Plans have also been made to meet
any attempts of the Russians to take
the Weichsel Notifications in the rear
by making lengthy detours.
Bulletins Tell Of Victories.
The official bulletins dealing with
all operations are extremely terse,
but all have the same general tenor,
that of uninterrupted success along
the German plans as laid down by the
war Office.
The Red Cross has undertaken the
care of the refugees who have been
compelled to fee from their homes in
Eastern Prussia because of the Co.'S

This latter work, coupled with the
general relief of the wounded, has
taxed the facilities of the Red Cross
to the utmost, but call for volun-

the German women, including some
of the highest titles, that not only
was the difficulty solved but many
