Washington, August 16-General
Carranza will permit the Pan-Ameri-
can appeals delivery to his military
and civil commander The Carranza
commander in Mexico City even Of
fered to facilitate delivery by fur
nishtpg safe conduct of messages.
Nevertheless there was some delay Ia
the issuance OF these safe conducts.
Consequently many factional lead
ers we're still unserved with copies
of the appeal. General Carranza
and Villa had received theirs, how
ever. From this prompt responses
were expected.
CaFranza's failure to hold up the
note was considered good sign.
Others less optimistic believed he
was satisfied he could depend on the
leaders under him and SO saw no oc-
casion for exercising censorship.
General Villas response suppos-
edly favorable was expected to be on
its way to Washington today
Authorities will not attempt to
prevent transmission of the Pan
American note to Mexican leaders.
Diplomatic Agent Parker reported
from Mexico City today.
General Gonzales, commanding
there. informed Parker he win graft
safe conduct within a few days 10
messengers who will take the note to
Zapata and other factionaf leaders
via Carranza territory.
The first of the replies from Mexi-
can military and political chiefs to
the Pan-American peace appeal was
expected today. General Villas is
reported on its way and favorable in
tone. Carranza's Is not looked for
before the end OF the week.
There were reports that Carranza
might call conference of his mill
tary aids to decide on a joint reply.

which Gonzales declared that Mexico

power.
The speech would seem to foreshad
ow rejection by Carranza Of the invi
tation extended by the pansAmerican
conference, led by the United States,
that he and the other chieftains enter
into peace convention
At complete variance with the action
of Carranza is the unofficial announce
ment that General Villa has accepted
in full the proposal made by the Pan
American conference.
Meanwhile depredations eontinne
along the border. So serious has the
situation become that Major General
Funston has appealed to the war de-
partment for endorsements to aid
the 1900 troops already along the In
ternational border. Two batteries and
a regiment of infantry have been sent
to his ass' stance.

Cunard Line Denies
Flying U. S. Flag in
Place of Union Jack

NEW YORK. Feb. 1o.--The Sunard
Steamship Company this afternoon in
an official statement took issue with
the claims of passengers that Captain
Taylor. master of their new turbine
liner Orduna. replaced the Union Jack
with the American flag for the trip
across the Irish sea when the vessel
started on her voyage to this port. The
assistant to the general manager. Her.
man Winter. issued the following state
ment:
LAS usual the Orduna was flying the
American flag from her foremast and
the Union Jack from her aft rail when
she left Liverpool and she was flying
the same flags when she entered New
York habor. The colors forward indi-
cate the destination; aft. the nation
ality of the vessel. There is no truth
in the report that Captain Taylor re-
placed the nationality flag with the
American colors."
Despite this statement. II. T. Strong.
of New York, a first-cabin passenger.
insisted that he had walked aft to the
steerage deck and observed the Stars
and Stripes flying aft and his statement
was confirmed by James Ford, a me-
char ical engineer and other men who
were passengers in the second cabin.
The Cunard officials, however, that the
passengers must have been mistaken
and suggested that they might have
started the story for joke

duels continue. The Germans are bring
ing up additional troops in this region
and are prepared to attempt another
offensive as soon as the weather VIII
permit.
In the north there has been fighting
at a number Of widely separated points.
but without any material change.
Isolated conflicts at half dozen
points on the long battle line from the
sea to the Swiss frontier are being
This is especially so in the Woevre
region, the Argonne. La Bassee, and at
Furnes But according to the reports
reaching here today. the Germans have
been unable to gain any material ad-
vantage, although they greatly out
number the French.
The Germans have been bringing up
large quantities of men and supplies to
the triangle of the Disc and the Aisne.
and It is expected that they will essay
a general offensive in this section soon.
In front Of the lCng La Bassee line the
Germans have been REINFORCED by re-
serve BaVarian regiments, and in antiCi-
patton of an attempt by the enemy TO
break through, the British defense pO-
sitions along the canal have been greatly
strengthened.

reported to have demolished part of q
German trench and Il supply depot

war has there been hand-to- hand fight

reports received from the front.
Germans Suffer Heavily.
Toward evening on Sunday the Ger
mans renewed their offensive and
eventually captured the high positions
held by the Russian troops. Once again
they were driven out in another series
of bayonet charges, and the fighting
ever since has been I'm the nature of n
slve-and-take conflict. The Germans
used their massed formation to advance.
with the result that they suffered
enormous losses. The slopes Of The
mountain were literally covered with
the dead, one thousand being counted i'm
front of one Russian battalion alone.
In east Prussia the Germans are con-
centratins fresh troops for an offensive
movement against the Russians, who
are invading in force. They have ,,n-
dertaken an offensive in Horzele-
Johannisburg and Las Dehnen regions.
At the latter place the Russians almost

Muscovites Reported in
Retreat From BukOWina

LONDON. Feb. 1O.-Althoush reports
from the eastern theater of war are
conflicting. it seems certain that the
Austro-German forces in the Car
pathians and in Bukowina have been
heavily REINFORCED and are now on the
offensive.
The fighting Is bitterly contested. but
both the Telegraph and the Mail corre-
spondents indicate that Russia will be
compelled to eracuate Bukowina. II
they do. then the proposed invasion Of
Pennsylvania and Hungary must like
wise be aba ndOned.
The Bucharest correspondent OF the
Telegraph says advices from the
frontier indicate that the Russians al
ready have commenced 4 retreat from
southern and eastern Bukowina.
The Austro- German advance toward
Madvorna and kaloza is being made
in such great force that the Russians
were given the alternative OF evacuat-
ing Bukowna or having their bases Of
supplies raided.
