 It is understood that Vests report will result in no change of policy of the administration toward Mexico He is said to have avoided favoring any faction or leader. devoting his report to the president to information gath cred about conditions generally and about the attitude of the different leaders. IL is understood the admin istratiCn will continue the policy of hands off" while the Mexicans are fighting for supremacy in their country, in the meantime doing ev- erything in it's power to protect for eigners and their property and to bring about relief in sections where there is a shortage of food.
 After conference with the presi- dent West said he would remain in Washington for several days. but be- yond that he had no definite plans He is not expected to return to Mex ico immediately if at all
 Official dispatches to the state de- partment describe the Carranza forces at Vera Cruz and the Villa forces at Chihuahua as celebrating victory over the other.
 American Consul Silliman reported the bells ringing at Vera Cruz over a victory of Obregon against Angeles. Consular Agent Carothers at Chihua- hua telegraphed that Diaz Lombardo, the Villa secretary of state. officially announced Angeles victory over Ob- re gon.
 From these dispatches the officials concluded the fighting was not de- cisive and that there have been heavy losses on both sides.

No Arrangements. However, Have Been Made as Yet for Departure of Italian Ambassador from Ger man Capital.
rAssoc1ArEp PRESS pIspArcHl

BERLIN, May 24.-No arrange ments as yet have been made for the departure of the Italian ambassador from Germany. owing to the Whit suntide holidays no newspapers pub lished today and therefore there was no press comment on Italy's declara- ton of war. The public received the news with remarkable calmness, and seemed more bent on enjoying holiday outings in the brilliant summer weather than worrying about the latest accession to the ranks of Aus tria- Hungary enemies.
 Germany is whole heartedly on the side of her ally. An Italian military attache recently summoned to Ger man headquarters. was shown a map of the location and strength of the Austro German armies on the Italian frontier so that his government will have no reason to doubt that Ger many would assist Austria with every available man in case of war

Little OF No Time Allowed to Elapse Between Dec laratiOn of War and Ac- tual Fighting Between Italy and Austria. CAMPAIGN PLAN
 NOT DISCLOSED Believed That Attempts Will Be Made to Inflict Quick and Decisive De- feat and Discourage Ital- ians at Beginning.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArCHl

LONDON. May 24-Lfttle or no time has been allowed to elapse be- tween the declaration of war and actual fighting between Italy and Al stria. Early this morning Ans tfian aeroplanes, destroyers and to~- pedc boats descended on the Italian cast of the Adriatic and bombar1ad towns, including Venice, while in the 1'yrol and on the eastern frontier the Italian and Austrian advance guards are already in touch. have exchanged their first shots
 The plan of the campaign has not yet been disclosed. but it is belie' ed generally that attempts to inflict quick and decisive defeat or at least one that will discourage the Italians will be undertaken. largely by the Germans under Field Marshal V)n Hindenburg.
 It is said that German troops. with ne%VY guns. aerOplanes and Zeppeiins are already passing through the val ley of the River Adige in the direc- tion of Verona and that rapid and at the Italian center This the Ger mans doubtless believe will serve 70 hold off the Italian advance from the Province of Venice, where the flat nature of the country would give the Italians a greater chance of success.
 Throughout Austria and Germany there is bitter denunciation of Italy. which for the moment has replaced England as the most hated enemy
 The most important battle, however. is that raging southeast of Przemysl where the Austrians and Germans are making repeated attacks in an endeaVor to break the Russian line and thus relieve the pressure the Russians are bringing to bear on the Germans who crossed the San.
 Fighting is also in progress in CourtIand, along the East Prussian frontier and in Central Poland where the Germans h"ve attempte1 an of fensive along ihe RaWka ,iver. None af these actiot.s apparently have been decisive :-Iih-uch heavy losses were suffered on both sides Russia eX- presses satisfaction with the situa tion along her front Heavy fighting was resumed in the western zone, from Arras to the sea in which both the Germans and French claim to have had an advantage. It is evident the allies do not intend to relax their efforts along this front although the big general movement has not been undertaken, the present opera tions having as an object the i'm provement of their positions and the forcing of the Germans to counter attacks.
 The allies landed additional troops on the Gallipoli peninsula and al though progress there must for some time continue to be slow. there is every confidence here that the resist ance of the Turks before long will be broken. The loss to the allies

ASSOCIATE PRESS DIsPATcHI

WASHINGTON. May 24-W. L. Mackenzie. director of the industrial relations department of the Rocke- feller foundation. and former Cana dian cabinet officer, interrupted his testimony before the Federal Indus trial Relations Commission to roundly denounce the methods of Chairman Walsh in conducting the commis- sion's Colorado strike inquiry The outburst came in the midst of lues- tioning regarding the plan suggested by him to Rockefeller for dealing with the situation in the Colorado coal fields. The chairman sought to show the plan would have eleminated union representation on boards and conferences between employers and miners.
 King objected strenuously 10 any inference that he was unfriendly to organized labor.
 T have seen witness after witness on the stand here treated in a man ner that was anything but fair" said King. "In the name of labor I pro- test against the way this hearing has been conducted"
 You do not like the way the inves- tigations are conducted in this coun- try" asked Walsh.
 "f do not like fhe way this hearing has been conducted" he replied
 You do not like this commissions conduct of the hcarings?"
 'I do not like the way you, MT. Chairman, have conducted the eN- animation of witnesses"
 Then you exonerate the rest of the commission 9"
 "Oh. yes"
 'Is your objection to the examina tion," asked the chairman, based on your observation of the eXamna tion of John b. Rockefeller. Jr, and is it caused in paGt by the statemePl you heard a witness make here that he is guilty of high treason and should be punished? 9"
 King spoke only of the general ex- animation of all witnesses. He was questioned at length about his ser vices to John b Rockefeller Jr. and to the foundation but he declined to say what salary he received.
 l.. M. Powers. veteran former treasurer of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. now member. of the personal business of Rockefeller. ST. occupied the stand the greater part of the session. He was questioned closely as to the conduct of the strike by the coal companies, and dis claimed responsibility for the vio- lence and bloodshed which 'charac- terized the disturbances
