FRIENDS WILL AID
ACCUSED MINISTER

Bloomington. Ind. June S.-Friends
OF Rev. John r. Ellis. of Geneva. n. Y.
former pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church here, who was indicted yester-
day on charge that he associated with
women of bad repute, announced today
that they would lend all possible aid
In an effort to clear the pastor OF the
charges.
The minister resigned his nastorate
here after the church officers had in
yestigated his moral conduct. The
charges were sustained and he was sus-
pended from that body. He appealed 70
the synod, but lost there also. Then
he appealed to the general assembly,
and at the Rochester meeting last week
the case was reversed. He, has a fam
lily.

of order In the republic OF Mexico.
That Villa is willing to meet CarranZa
with view to composing their diff

Elizio Arrondendo, the Carranza
agent in this city. admitted tonight
that he received . suggestion from
friends Of General villa to outline
some basis on which the two factions
might meet in council. Mr.. Arron-
dendo promptly forwarded this COM
munication to CarrAnza ut Vera Cruz.
Villas apparent willingness to talk
peace with his antagonist confirms
statements made early In the week
by friends Of vfllal that he would ac-
cept in principle President Wilson's
suggestion that Mexico's troubles be
adjusted by other than armed force.

have felt for weeks that villa was
rapidly losing ground and that his
end as an influential factor In the
situation was imminent. Whether Car

day to deal with Villa as suggested

representatives. They declined to
make any comment tonight On the

Violent Assaults.

Paris 6.-The German forces north
of Arras began last night a violent
attack along the Ablain-Souchez-
Melville front, bent upon regaining
some of the ground they have lost
there Not only was this entire front
assailed by artillery fire of an ex-
tremely hot character. but infantry
9-tacks were made with great energy
at numerous places.
The Commandment and the frequent
infantry charges continued without In
terruption throughout the night. Day
came. but ii brought no cessation in
the violence of the German onslaught
Tonight the war Office announces that
the general attack continues without
the French forces having been dis
lodged from a single one of the many
new positions which they have recent
ly captured in this region.
Not only, in fact, has the German
assault been repulsed, but new posi-
ltions have been wrested from the Ger
mans during the day. The slow AMI
hard fought investment OF the village
of Neuville-St. Vast has been adj
vanced by the capture OF new posi-

WILSON'S REJOINDER
Those Who Have Seen Note
Say 1t Is More Forceful Than
First One---President Spends
Quiet Sunday

Washington, June e.-That Berlin
has either lacked adequate reports
from the United States. or else has
completely misread them, was the con-
clusion reached by many officials here
today from published dispatches as
sorting that the German authorities
and the public there no longer re-
garded the submarine issue with the
United States as one of serious pro-
portions
Reports of similar character have
reached this country through official
channels and they are looked upon
as the most discouraging features of
the situation. II is felt here that
the prospects OF satisfactory response
by Germany to the demands Of the
United States will not be bright until
the German government and the Ger
man people have come to a realiza-
ition Of the intense feeling in this
country. and the determination of the
President to insist upon adequate
guarantees for the safety of American
lives on the high seas
Second Note Clear.
That the second note of President
Wilson, agreed upon At the cabinet
meeting Friday. will go far toward
i'm parting to Germany a clearer un-
derstanding of the Arm stand of this
government, Is the expectation in Of
fetal quarters here.
This not, IL was said authoritatively
tonight, will go forward TO Berlin in
a day or two. Some surprise was ex-
pressed tonight by those close to the
sdm ,nistration that II should have been
thought that the failure of the note
to Germany indicated the slightest
change in policy 1t was asserted that
such surmises were absolutely without
foundation.
The note. 1t was said tonight. is
still to receive it's final polishing.
This task the President Is to perform
himself. Yesterday, upon the advice
of his physician. he spent in the open
air. exercising and motoring, while
today he occupied himself in much
the some way, conforming TO his prac-
itice of doing no work on Sunday. IT
was said that the President looks for
ward with confidence to taking up the
task OF making the slight necessary
notifications in the note tomorrow.
and disposing of II In very short
time.
Goes to the Heart.
Officials who are familiar with the
contents of the note predicted today
that il would be fully as popular with
the people OF the United States as the
first Communication. No backdown
step has been taken by the President.
In fact It is more forceful II any
thing than the first note giving Ger
many to understand that this govern
ment will expect prompt expression
from her as To whether or not she
intends TO abide by the principles OF
international law. II Germany fails to
give such assurances only one course
