EVACUAT ION OF NACO IS DESIRED
 BY ]. 5.
United States Considers That Gales Violated Scott Agree
 ment in Taking NaCo; Asks
 Carranza to EvaCuate Town.
NO COMMUNICATION HAD
 YET WITH MEXICO CITY
Carranza Reported to Have IS-
 sued Orders That All Govern mentS Had to Have ACCredit-
 ed Representatives at V. C.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Diploma- tic advices from Mexico said that Car r3nza had given notice he would not receive communications from or tran sact business with foreien govern ments which had no diplomatic agents accredited to his government at Vera Cruz It is not expected such action will affect the United States as Car ranza is understood to regard Consul Silliman as a properly accredited agent. Mexico City remains cut off from communication and there are no adyces concerning the situation in that vicinity.
 The State Department took notice of the protests against the occupation of Naco by Carranza's forces. A message was sent to Carranza calling attention to the situation and asking hm to abide by the Scott agreement.
 Notice was given that the American government regarded the attack upon Naco as a violation of the agreement Unofficial advices tonight indicated that Carranzas chieuaus were pre- pairing to withdraw from Naco. Car ranza's Washington agents said today they had no adyices of any action of Carrauza in refusing to deal with gov ommeuts not represented al Vera Cruz They said no notice was given them nor had they heard it in con- temptation
 The enforcement of such an order would virtually cut off the Carranza government from further communica- tlon with all foreigu nations which have ministers resident in Mexico City, No word has been received of the whereabouts of General Gonzales who is believed seeking to give battle Co column Of Villa troops under Gen. erals Fierro and Natera somewhere in the vicinity of Pachuca Neither had the State Department been able Go get any news as to the exact con dition in the capital or whether the Zapata forces. as reported two days ago, are again in active control of the city.
 The rioting in Cananea last Monday in which several Chinese merchants suffered heavy losses was reported to the State Department tonight. Quiet was restored and order enforced the report said the following day after Carranzas army under Gales had occupied town

No Serious Break Has Appeared in the Russian Defense, While Germans Continue to Pound Against the Polish Capital.
ARGONNE AND VOSGES
 SCENE OF WEST BATTLE
Allied Military Critics Do Not See How It Is Possible for Russians to Hold Warsaw and Protect Nicholas Big Army.

LONDON, July 22-The Austro- Germans continue to press the Rus sian forces defending Warsaw but while they made progress al some points they have not made any serious breach in the well fortified inner lines. The Russians have been pressed back to the brideehead positions directly west Of Warsaw, and into the fortress of Ivangorod further 10 the southwest on the Vistula But at these points they are probably in better position to offer stubborn resistence 10 the op- ponents.
 The ArrOnne and Vosges are still the scenes of severe fighting in the west. The accounts or opposing bodies are as contradictory as ever but it would appear that the French are the aggressors in the Vosges and made some progress. The Germans offset this by partial successful of fensiye in Argonne The Italians con tinue their attacks along the Isonzo River The battle for the conquest of Gorizia and Carso plateaus is as- auming larger proportions. more men are engaged than in any previous pat tle on the Italian front
 The Italians claim marked progress while the Austriaus consistently re- port that all attacks were repuIsed. A short official account, issued tonight of the recent fighting on the GallipoH peninsula, indicates the engagements have been of minor nature but fay- ored the allies
 In the Warsaw district two attacks are being made from the north along the Narew River by Field Marshal von Hndenburg. and that Field Marshal won Machensen who is directing from the southeast, between the Vistula and Bug ricers has apparently held up or the Germans are waiting for the opportune moment to move forward and catch the Russians should it be decided 10 evacuate Warsaw. The Der lin official statement does not claim any advance for von Machensen nor does the report, although it states the Russians ceased their counter attacks along the Narew, does not mention any success on the part of von Hin deuburg.
 However, should the Russians hold Warsaw. it would surprise the military critics in the allied countries who have discounted the loss of the city, attacked from an sides by opponents possessed of suDerioritv in guns and ammunitions Grand Duke Nicholas, although able to deliver some sting ing counter attacks inhicting heavy losses on the Teutons. must in the first place. consider the safety of his army, the loss of which would be more serious for the Russians than a retire. meut from the Polish capital and the territory around it

NOTE TO GERMANY IS
 DISPATCHED
Text of Last American Note 10 Germany Will Be Made Public Tomorrow Morning; Congress May Be Called.

WASHINGTON. July 22.-The Un- tied States. before determining the next step in its general diplomatic pol icy, will for a brief period, await in- Gications from official quarters in Der lin as to the reception of the new note warning Germany that the loss of Am erican lives through the further viola ton of neutral rights would be re- gaIded as "unfriendly."
 The note was started on it's way to Berlin late last night and probably will be delivered by Ambassador Ger ard tomorrow. It will be given out for publication in Saturday mornings newspapers, Everywhere in official quarters it is pointed out that the doe ument speaks the final word on how the United States will regard further transgressions of it's rights.
 The general trend of comment was that a repetition of such a disaster as beiell the Lusitania would mean the convening of Congress by the Presi- dent for consideration of the action to be taken. In the event the status quo is maintained however. there are indications, through official and un- official channels, that German submar ines, in the future, will conform to the rules of international la win saving the lives of Americans on unresistng merchantmen.
 The President will take up very soon, the situation that has arisen with Great Britain over the interfer- ence with American commerce by the Allies For several weeks the note has been practically completed ad- dressed to the British government reiterating the protest against the de. yiations from international law in the operations of the Order in Council against commerce with Germany.
 This has not been sent because the President is unwilling to give the i'm pIession in Berlin that the controyer sy between the United States and Germany is in any way to be condi toned on the progress of the Ameri can governments negotiations with other belligerents. It became known that if indications are that the new American note to Germany is received with a friendly spirit there appears no intention to further violate the neutral rights of the high seas, that | the protest to Great Britain would be despatched probably within the next fortnight.

AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL

Austro-Hungarian Headquarters, Ju- ly 22.-The offensive Teuton armies in Poland are progressing with machine like regularity and have now entered the decisive stage of the strdg|r i1 Southern Poland namely. tn7 battle Cor the possession of the important Iuilroad connecting Cholm and I.ubliu and Ivangorod, of these strateaicaly important cities The Russipns, al- though clinging desperately to every undulation on water course in a brok- en sandy country. have been driven from one advance position to another and forced to fall back upon the last main line of defense south of the rail road. The long battle line is shorten ed considerably owing to the north ward movement of the armies, the Russians thereby being enabled to concentrate in heavier force. But the same factor frees considerable masses of Teuton troops 10 be used for con. centric attack against the new line
 The advance was executed under highly uniavorable conditions. The Teutous had to force their way through a wide belt of sandy country
 interrupted by frequent swamps. The marching and observations for artill
