BERLIN, (via The Hague), Sept. 1s.

German forces slowly breaking down

that the German lines have been ex.

Reports that the Germans had run
out OF ammunition for their field guns
are Indignantly denied. Instead, the
lines of communication are perfect.
Trains are run directly To the central
points of the battle line from which
places the distribution continues, with
the automobile transport service,
which is complete.
The French have several times at
tempted to carry the German posi-.
tions by storm, but they have met dis

gains have been along the center.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1s.-Reluc-

The president feels he cannot make

conciliatory attitude.
Ii was learned today that diplo-

about peace discussions. They are re-

not part of wisdom for the miners in

general strike at this particular time
was the report today of the special
committee to the International execu-
tive board of the United Mine Work
ers of America, in session here. 1t
was decided, however, to push the
strike in Colorado, and an appeal for
financial help was issued.
After stating that the situation had
been canyassed thoroughly, the report
on the general strike subject con-
tinues
I'VE believe we can better aid our
gallant brothers in Colorado by re-
naming at work, thus insuring in
financial way our fullest support to
the men, women and children, who
have been long engaged in the great
struggle in Colorado. We must be
in a position to finance properly the
strike in that state indefinitely, until
the success of the miners cause is
assured. And a general strike at this
time might ieopardize our position in
f1ils ~ set without addiugsnAe thing
material to the success of the Color
ado strike
"Of course, if conditions in Cloroado
do not improve and il we do not re-
ceive the proper protection from the
federal government, this policy may
be changed to meet exigencies of any
new situation that the future may de-
velop. ag
"You can rest assured that we are
firmly resolved to carry out any move
which we believe to be beneficial to
the Colorado strikers, but at this par
ticular time we are sure the policy
we have outlined is the wisest course
for us to pursue"
The appeal for aid, which is signed
by John P. White, president; Frank J.
Hayes, vice president and William
Green, secretary and treasurer Is In
part as follows:
"Willr you aid them (the Colorado
strikers and families) in their strug-
gle against John d. Rockefeller, Jr,

sents? The request of the president

Washington, May S.-San Luis Po-

constitutionalists, according to infor-
nation which Secretary Bryan trans
mitted to one Of his callers today.
General Carranza today notified
Raafel zubaran, his minister of the
interior, at present representing his
interests in Washington, that he had
issued instructions to his military
chieftains to pursue with the utmost
vigor the campaign against the fed
eral forces at Tampico and Mazatlan-
constitutionaIists Friendly
"The United States, and Mexico
have friendly and peaceful relations
which not only the constitutionalists
but the vast majority of the people of
Mexico propose to firmly maintain.
Such relations should not be affected
by the acts of Huerta, since they do
not voice the real sentiment of the
nation"
This is the substance Of a state
ment by Rafael Zunaran, constitution
alist representative. made public by
the state department.
The note submitted to the state de-
partment several days ago was issued
by authority of General Carranza HIM
self. The fun text Of the note Isl:
THE first chief of the constitution
alist army. fully realizing the menace
to the good relations between the
people of Mexico and hat OF its
neighboring republic in the United
States arising out Of the wanton con-
duct of the usurper, Huerta, has dele
gated the undersigned to make clear
the feelings and the attitude of the
constitutionalists and indeed the peo-
Iple of Mexico toward the United
States.
The United States and Mexico
l'have friendly and peaceful relations
which not only the constitutionalists.
but the vast majority Of the people OF
Mexico propose to firmly maintain
Such relations should not be affected
by the acts of Huerta, since they
don't voice the real sentiment OF the
nation. Consequently it will be the
purpose of the constitutionalists to
strive to continue unaltered those re-
lations between the people OF the two
republics and to resolve all differences
in the same spirit.
The first chief feels that the gov
ernment of this nation entertains SEN
timent identical with those OF the
people of Mexico This conviction on
his part is based on the confidence in
the spirit of justice and the high
moral principles which have always
inspired the acts of the president and
the secretary Of state. Both are es-
teemed as the incarnation Of the vir-
tues OF the American people, SO he
feels that the policy followed in his
struggle against the usurper Hnertas
in giving due protection to the lives
and property OF all American citizens
and all foreigners. who maintain strict
neutrality. is manifest assurance OF
both the purpose and ability OF the
constitutionalists to discharge inter
national obligations OF Mexico within
the territory which they may now and
will hereafter control
