Washington. Feb 5.v-Friction be-
tween the Carranza government and
members of the diplomatic corps at
Mexico City, has become SO serious
that the withdrawal OF many foreign
legations is threatened. Some promi-
nent diplomatic representatives of Eu-
ropean countries already have cabled
their home governments suggesting
that since communication is growing
more and more restricted and as little
respect is given them by the, Carranza
authorities, It might be advisable to
unite with other governments in a
movement TO abandon all foreign lega :
tions in Mexico.
State department officials tonight de :

situation. AS the United States en-
bassy has been closed since the rup-
ture with the Huerta government ac-
ton on the part Of other diplomatic
missions is being considered without
consulting the United States so far
as known.
The plan OF the diplomatic corps at
Mexico City. is said to be, to leave all
Mexican affairs in charge Of consular
officers. This practically win mean the
severance OF diploRatic relations and
presenf a unique status f0r. Mexico
among nations.
Carranza's threatened deportation OF
the spanish minister for affording
asylum to Agnel del Case, confidential
agent OF the Spanish government, ac-
cused Of being affiliated with Villa.
has aroused the diplomatists in the
Mexican capital
One element increasing anxiety here
is the difficulty Of code communities

re-occupation by Carranza forces. an
embargo against all cipher messages
was enforced. but has, within the last
few days, been modified so that those
messages may be sent but subject 70

communication has been the cause OF

Russian Poland, early in December
have the Germans delivered such vic

when they attempted to break through
the Russian line near Borjimow. Prob

For six miles between Humin and

infantrymen and heavy forces OF cav

It is estimated there were nearly
$4,000 men to the mile, coming on in

The Russians, warned by attacks of
previous days in that same vicinity
have concentrated correspondingfy
heavy forces. So close were both sides
packed that the artillery became prac-
tically useless.
The battlefield was nat unobstruct-
ed plain. The Russians met the Ger
man advance with rifle fire and the
bayonet, the first lines struggling for
ward and backward from trench to
trench. At some places the trenches
were only a few hundred yards apart.
The fighting was extraordinarily san
culinary. Whole companies were ex-
terminated.
The most desperate German resist
ance was at VIOLA Szydlowiecka which
the Russians took after an all-night

which their friends worked for them
in the contest. which while very ex-
citing, was nevertheless free from any
bitterness of feeling and while Miss
johnson failed OF election she never
theless highly appreciates the large
