LANSING WILL l DISCUSS MEXICO
 WITH PRESIDENT Secretary of State Will To- morrow Lay Whole Mat
 ter Before Chief. NO IMPROVEMENT IN
 CONDITIONS THERE State Department Officials Do Not Believe Situation Gan Be Solved by Recognition of one of the
 Present Leaders.

Washington, July lo.-Secrctary of State Lansing will lay the whole situ- ation in Mexico before the president at Cornish, in addition to discussing with him tomorrow the German note.
 The continued refusal of the war ring chieftains to accode to the sug- gestions of the presidents recent note. has produced a situation which, in the opinion of officials here, de- mands other action.
 The state department does not be- lieve that the situation can be solved by the recognition Of one leader over all the others. They hold that such a solution would contravene the spe- cific demand or suggestion of the presidents note. that the factions should get together and agree on 6 man or group of men. Carranza has already told the state department that he regards Villa and Zapata as rebels and will not treat with them.
 Conditions in Mexico, according to the official dispatches, remain un- changed. ~'
 Consul General Shanklin telegra ph- ed the state department that he had taken over the relief of American cit iZens in the Mexican capital. Off cials explain that this is in co-opera- tion with the Red Cross, which has charge of the alleNsation of distress everywhere.
 Important successes of General Vil- la are reported to Villa headquarters here.
 The department of justice is con- tinuing it's investigations to discover who are the financial trends in New York and elsewhere of the Huerta revOlutionists.

TEUTONS LOSE MORE GROUND.
Russian War Offir" Claims Capture of
 15,O0O Men.

London. July 1O.-Eespite the Ger man snd Austrian reports to the ef- feet that there has been no change of the front in Southern Poland, the Russian war office claims that north of Krasnik the Teutons have been driven back still further. and that in the fighting south of Wilkicaz. the number of Austro-German prisoners has been increased to 15,OOO. For more than three days now there has been silence from the sOutheast- ern front. with the exception of Rus- sian statements dealing with events several days ,old. From all indications, the army of the archduke, Joseph Ferdinand. has not as vet recovered from the blow dealt it by the Rus sians in the sudden flank movement of last Sunday.
 The Austrian report today states that the Russians are still attacking in great strength. but that all the as- saults have been repulsed. Berlin contents itself with the bare an- nouncement that there is nothing to report.
 VOn Hindenberg Active.
 Lively demonstrations are occurring along the whole line in the east. Won Hindenberg is showing, renewed activ- ity in his outflanking movement in the north. Fighting of some proportions is going on around Ossiwicz, the fort ress which has been internationally bombarded for months by the Ger mans.
 Severe fighting. of which little has been said. is going on continually along the Bukowina front and on the reaches of the Dneister in the extreme
 southeast Recently. according to dis patches from the BukOwina frontier, the Russians asked an armistice Of four hours in which to bury their dead, so heavy were their losses.
