CkRRANzA LIFTS EMBARGO.
Blockade of Mexican Port Abandoned ~ Mexican cunkoat Fires on ar American Vessel.

The Carranza blockade of the MeXi- can port of Progreso has been aban- doned. according to advices received in Washington, and the gunIOats guard ing the harbor permitted two Ameri- can vessels laden with sisa to depart unmolested. Abandonment of the blockade followed the sending of the cruiser Des Moines to Progreso and the serving of notice by the United States government on CarranZa that the port of ProgresO must be kept open.
 This news was given out Simultane- Ously with the information that nov long ago an American vessel about to put out From ProgresO was fired upon by a Mexican gunbOat: that q second American vessel had been seized and q third refused entry to the port
 The administration awaited the re- suits of it's demands upon General Sa- laZHr for the punishment of the Zapata soldiers responsible for killing John E. McManus, prominent American. while he was defending his home in Mexico City.
 In discussing the Mexican situation with callers President Wilson made 1t very plain that he has not considered armed intervention. Neither has he been asked to sanction an international expedition to go to Mexico City and preserve order there. The United States. the president explained, has no intention of doing anything more in Mexico than demanding that the rights of all foreigners be safeguarded.

KITCHENER NSPECTS
WESTERN BATTLE LINE
British War Leader Accompanied by
Alexandra Millerand of
France.

PARIS, August ia joint inspection
of parts of the western battle line was
made Monday by Lord Kitchener. Great
Britains secretary of war. and Alex
andre Millerand. the French war min
lister. They were accompanied part of
the time by Gen. Joffre and Sir John
French. the commanders-in-c chief of the
French and British armies. The mill
tary leaders paid particular attention
to conditions in the Champagne and the
Woevre.
An official note. which gives details
of the trip, says Lord Kitchener and NJ.
Millerand We're greatly impressed by
the splendid appearance of the troops
and their high morale. Several confer
ences were held. but the nature of them
is not disclosed.
Assured of Accord Of Nations.
Speaking at the close of dinner
Tuesday evening. NJ. Millerand declared
he felt highly honored by Lord Kitch-
ener's visit to France and was glad to
learn from the British field marshafs
own lips of the complete accord unit
ing the two nations. Addressing the
British war minister directly he said:
Yours is not the only voice which
praises our soldiers, for the enemy
also gives them their due. After a
year Of war the enemy no longer has
illusions Of winning. He predicts IN
ternal dissensions among his enemies.
which he hopes will occur. Already ne
is endeavoring to incite neutrals and
places before belligerents yelled IN
nuendos of peace.
Let me assure you France is united.
People, parliament and government
never have been more firmly deter
mined, in close accord with our heroic
and faithful allies, never to lay down
our arms until the day arrives when
we shall have attained our goal. and If
the road to Tipperary is long the price
is sufficiently high to justify US paying
for all the delays. difficulties and sad
nesses along the road. because the
price is the liberation of the world
Lord Kitchener, speaking in t'rench,
thanked NJ Millerand for his kindness
in extending an invitation to visit the
French front, and said that after see
ing the splendid troops of Gen. Jof-
fire he could understand the French
victories. He closed by declaring that
Great Britain was resolved to make
the greatest possible effort to aid
France and to carry the war to finish.
