Premier Vivani was accorded the
warmest of demonstrations. Alexander
Millerand, minister Of war, took the floor
and said he wished to give an account of
the stewardship of the ministry of war

Advance Slower

1t seems evident that Germany is
bent on a futher punishment of the
Russians before relaxing the intensity
of her Galician campaign, but with
the Russians across the frontier the
Germans will have to rely almost sole
ly on road transportation and their
will necessarily be slower.
The British press is still voicing the
hope that the Russians will soon find a
tenable line and deliver counter
blow, but there is a note of anxiety in
nearly all the accounts, together with
the warning that either the capture of
or the seizure Of the great
lines which supply it would be
disastrous to Russia and would sure
ly be followed by another general
German offense in the West.
French Attacks
Notwithstanding the French attacks
around Arras. it is argued that the
Germans must feel comparatively se--
cure in the West, else they would not
have risked their tremendous enyelop-
Ing move against the Russians. The
French are persisting in the assaults in
the neighborhood Of Arras, but without
appreciate change in the situation.

Nothing New in Huerta Case

Nothing New in Huerta Case
Oficials at the department Of ius-
tice had no additional details TODAY
concerning the charges and evidence
on which Generals Huerta and Orozco
were arrested at Ell Paso. They ex-
pressed the opinion, however, that
whatever might be the outcome of the
prosecution the arrests already had
had a wholesome effect on preventing
the launching of a new revolutionary
movement in Mexico.
Gen. Angeles was hopeful that he
would have an opportunity to talk
with President Wilson. He was not
directed by Villa to do so, he said but
is anxious OF learn from the President
or other high officials just what pol
icy the United States intends to pursue
toward the Mexican question.
Agrees with Wilson
Continuous fighting by the factions
now in the field with no hope of recog-
milton would be useless. General An
geles believes, and he agrees heartily
with President Wilson's recent state
ment that the various elements must
come to an understanding.
He insists that if Gen. Carranza re-
fuses to enter into an agreement on
the provisional government to be Gre
ated by a convention of the divisions
of the original constitutionalists move
ment. the moral support and recogni-
ton Of the United States should be &C
corded to those elements in Mexico
which are willing to stop fighting and
support a government created by
peaceful agreement and standing for
liberal principles. Major Gen. Hugh
Scott. chief of staff of the United
whom Gen. Angeles called today. En-
rique c. Llorente, Washington repre-
sentative Of Gen. Villa. accompanied
the visitor to the war department and
acted as interpreter. Angeles brought
letter of Introduction from Gen Viii
la. The contents of the letter were not
disclosed, but it was understood to
have showed clearly that Generals
Villa and Angeles We're on intimate
terms instead of at odds as has been
persistently reported.
1t is understood that Gen. Angeles ex-
planned to Gen. Scott that as a precau-
ton against the counter revolutionary
of Huerta and his followers, large forces
of Villa troops had been dispatched
northward and that Gen. Villa also had
sent thousands of men to garrison the
coal fields and other parts Of northern
Mexico which comprised the base Of sup
plies for his army. For this reason, he
said, Gen. Obregon had more troops than
Villa in the recent encounters in Central
Mexico.
