from wilma to Petrograd has been
reached. again menaces the railroad
connections with the Russian capital.
The comparative success in other
sectors which the Russians have
gained, however. causes the capital to
regard the latest threat against it with
no great alarm.
British opinion is that the German
campaign is not only proving costly in
men and supplies, but Is likely to fail
unless the Russian offensive can be
stopped soon.
BY their latest attack in eastern
Galicia the Russians are reported to
have penetrated German trenches in
the face Of a heavy artillery fire.
In the north the Russians are with
drawn from the Nieman salient. oppos-
ing the German advance merely by
rear guard actions.

The duel Of big guns still marks op-
erations along the Franco Belgian and
Italian fronts. Except for occasional
attempts to rush advance trenches
there is little activity on either side
From the near east come reports
that the Turks are firing villages on
the Dardanelles and 1t Is reported they
are preparing to abandon the straits.
1t Is also reported that the batteries
on the European side Of the straits
have been reduced almost to silence.

Change in Border Situation.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Villa's action
in sending Rogue Gonzales Cana, Gen.
Felipe Angeles and probably Diaz
Lambardo. his minister of foreign re-
lations to Washington, is said to have
been decided upon because of the
probability Of conference over MeXi-
can affairs as a result Of the Pan
American conference at New York
next Saturday.
Just how Carranza's suggestion that
the Pan American conferees appointed
delegates to confer on MeXico's in
ternational affairs are to be worked
out is not apparent.
The battleships Kersarge and Ken
lucky were ordered to Vera Cruz today
to relieve the Louisiana and the New
Hampshire.
The Kearsarge and Kentucky now
are at Philadelphia and will sail this
week.
The meeting of the A. Il. c. diplo-

today to request Secretary Lansing to
call his fellow diplomats together this
week, If they were to meet again on
the Mexican situation. Mr.. Naon ex-
poets to be gone several months. and
ii is admitted in official circles that 1t
is not probable any conferences will
be held in his absence.
If at the conference which Is T. be
held between now and Mr.. Naon's de-
rarture the Latin Americans are able
to agree with the United States on
method of procedure this country will
attempt to carry it out during Mr.
Naon's absence. If. as many believe,
states will be confronted with the ne
cessity of handling the situation by IT.
self again.
carranza's Views Meet Favor.
At least three Of the Latin American
diplomats believe Carranza's sugges-
ton opens the way for the restoration
of peace in Mexico They are under
stood to be willing to recognize the
Carranza government on certain con-
ditions.
Those conditi ons include the promise
of n general amnesty decree by car
rama, with guarantee that 1t is not
to be violated, together with accept
ances OF that decree by villa. Zapata,
and the other factional leaders opposed
to CarranZa.
They also include stipulation by

his message was known in this country
