ITALIANS IN DARING COUP
Rome Tells of Exploit of Small De.
tachment of Soldiers.

Rome, July 24.-In the face of a
murderous fire a small Italian de-
tachment forced a crossing of the
Isonzo three miles above Goritz and
dug themselves in at the western
base of Monte Santo.
Press dispatches say they are main
tanning their position despite attacks
on all sides and are blocking trans
port of munitions to the Austrians
fighting around PLAYA.
The daring coup of this small body
is one of the notable exploits of the
heavy fighting around Goritz. Though
the Italians must inevitably retire or
face annihilation every hour they
withstand the Austrian attacks aids
the Italians in their onslaughts
against the northern defenses OF
GoritZ.

EARLY REPLY IS
NOT EXPECTED
Germany May Take Month TO
Answer United States.
NOTE TO GREAT BRITAIN

President and Secretary Lansing
Practically Complete Protest Against
Interference With Commerce Be-
tween This Country and Neutral
Nations.
Washington, July 24-Count Bern
storff, the German ambassador, went
to the state department for his official
copy of the new American note to Ger
many, although he previously had re-
ceiyed an official outline of it's con-
tents.
The ambassador has had no COM
munication with his foreign Office on
its view OF the note which was deliv-
cred there by American Ambassador
Gerard, but his purely personal view
is that the communication will bring
a reply, although one may not be
made for more than a month. His
personal view is that the situation
still is left open for amicable adjust
ment.
officials of the Washington govern
ment turned expectantly toward Ber
lin for some indication from official
quarters as to the reception of the
communication.
The note is declared to be the final
word of the United States govern
ment with regard to further trans.
gressions of its rights. Should sim
liar disaster as that to the Lusitania
occur it is believed President Wilson
would call congress together to con
slider a course of action.
Work on Note to England.
The new American note to Great
Britain, protesting further against in
reference with commerce between the
United States and neutral nations, was
almost finished at a conference be-
tween President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing. 1t will be sent forward
to London probably next week.
Secretary Lansing will finish the
note and expects to forward II to
President Wilson at Cornish for his
final approval The note has been
delayed partly because of the presi-
dents desire to complete the last Ger
man note before taking up the issue
with Great Britain and partly because
of developments in the British situa-
tion which have come up from time TO
time.
President Wilson plans to leave
Washington for another visit to the
summer White House at Cornish, n.
/ H., within the next twenty-four hours.
Secretary Lansing will go to Man
chester, Mass, to visit Colonel E. Nj.
4 House. He will be only few hours
ride from Cornish, but he said he does
not expect to visit the president.

Battle Desperately as Teu=
tons Advance.
SHOW GREAT ENDURANCE
Cars Soldiers Lack Arms and Am
munition, but Their Achievements
Are Said to Be Remarkable-Fall
of Lubin Only Question of Time.

Berlin, July PA dispatch from
Vienna to the National Zeitung says
the final attempt of the Russians TO
stop the advance of their opponents
in the critical battle of the new line
southward of the I.ublin-Chelm rail
road southeast of Warsaw has ended
in failure.
The decisive action in this connec-
tion is likely to come in the territory
between the Vistula and the Bug riv-
ers.
The Russian southwestern front is
seriously menaced, the dispatch adds.
The railroad line running through
Ivangorod, Lublin and Chelm is now
only a few miles north of the Teuton-
ic lines and the capture Of Lublin and
Chelm is said TO be question of only
brief time.
The correspondent of the National
Zeitung at Tarnow, Galicia, while re-
porting that the Austro-German forces
ere advancing steadily, points out that
there are difficulties to be met He
says the Russians have to contend
with a lack of ammunition, but the
statement that their morale is shat
tered is untrue. On the contrary, they
are displaying the greatest bravery
and endurance and only in the case
of contingents without higher officers
do they surrender readily.
Russians Resist Desperately.
At Krasnostav, thirty-four miles
south of Lublin there was an engage
ment at close quarters, which was un
usually desperate and deadly. The
Russians awaited their attacking op-
ponents and resisted them with the
bayonet They had assembled strong
reserves and the Germans and Aus
trians had to expend the greatest eff
forts to overcome them. 1t was nee
essary literalr to throw the Russians
from their trenches.
The lack of good roads in Poland
presents an especially unfavorable as
pect from the standpoint of the in
vaders Deep sand makes the move
ments even of infantry slow, while
from ten to twelve teams of horses
must be utilized to draw heavy guns
Bitter rear guard conflicts mark the
slow retirement of the Russians in
South Poland. They give way only
one step at a time, thus delaying, al
though not preventing. the Austro
German advance.
The correspondent says that the
achievements of the Russians, in view
of their lack of ammunition, are re
markable

+ washington, July 22.-Diplomatic
|advices reaching Washington from
Mexico today said Gen. Carranza had
fgiven notice that he would not receive
communications from or transa ct bus
mess with foreign governments which
nave no diplomatic agents accredited
to his government at Vera Cruz.
Enforcement of such an order vir-
tualiy would cut off the Carranza
government from further communioa-
ton with all the foreign nations
which have ministers resident in Mex
leo City. Carranza is understood to
regard Consul Silliman at Vera Cruz
as properly accredited agent of the
United States.
I The report created surprise in off,
ciai and diplomatic circles, particular
| ~ in view of the general understand
ing that foreign governments were
lawaiting action by the United States
toward Mexico City before recogniz-
itng any government in the republic.
| 1t became known today that no de-
cisive action in the Mexican situation
| Is contemplated by the administration
in the immediate future. In official
quarters the opinion prevails that the
military situation now is too uncer-
tain for any new step and the out
] jcome of approaching conflicts be-
}tween Carranza and Villa forces in
1central Mexico is awaited with in
Fterest.
4 Mexico City remains cut off from
communication and there have been
no advices concerning the where
abouts Of Gen. Gonzales believed to
be seeking to give battle to a column
OF Villa troops under Gems. Fierro
and Natera near Pachuca. Neither
has the. state department any con-
vincing news as to the exact condi-
tions In the capital or whether the
Zapata forces again are in active con-
! trol of the city.
/ The department. today sent mes
sage to Gen. Carranza at Vera Cruz
asking him to abide by the Scott
agreement negotiated with his gen.
erals and those Of Gen. Villa. pro-
viding that no military operations
should be conducted along the border
where lives of Americans would be en-
dangered. Notice was given that the
Americans regarded the recent attack
on Naco as violation Of the agree
ment.
Advices reaching Washington to-
night indicated that Carranza chief
tains were preparing to withdraw
from Naco.
