 KILLED IN BATTLE
A. P. A. Service.


 AMSTERDAM, Aug. 12.-Advices from Berlin today state that Baron von Bleichroce one of the commanders of the German military forces in the eastern fighting, was killed in the furi- ous battling over the possession of Warsaw.
 It is stated that many of the Ger man officers of high rank were dan gerously near being killed in the aw- full slaughter preceding the evacuation of the Russians.
 The conflict before the walls of the historic city is said to have exceeded in bitterness any conflict of the entire war and the losses of both sides are appalling. It is reported that the Ger man military authorities admit that the slaughter was the worst probably in all history and both sides sacrificed their troops with little regard save for the ultimate end-the possession of the city.

BORDER SITUATION IS IMPROVED
DECLARED RUSSIA WAS OFFERED CONCESSION
 TO DESERT ALLIES

many offered Russia all of the terri tory of Galicia, the complete control of ali entrances into the Black Sea and a guarantee of the future integrity of the Russian frontier. In return for these concessions it is stipulated that Russia shall not oppose the ceding of the Egyptian territory to Turkey, to compensate that nation for the loss of the Dardanelles nor interfere with Germany in the making of peace terms with the European allies Under the stipulation, Germany was to have an absolutely free hand in dealing with the other allied nations both before and after the conclusion of peace.

BROWNSVILLE Aug. 13.-Reports from the districts to the west indicate that the raiding of the Mexicans has been definitely checked and conditions generally are much improved. Sever al slight engagements with raiding bands were reported yesterday after noon, but no demonstration has since occurred.
 The military authorities are conil- dent that the Mexicans will now keep to their own side of the border owing to the strong bodies of troops com posed of both regulars and rangers who are posted at intervals along the line and effectually prevent excursions into the American territory. General Funston departed with his staff for a tour of inspection along the boundary this morning. Before departing the commander said that he was convinced that the Mexicans would not attempt further raids. Fuller reports concern
