WASHINGTON. May 29-Tre United

innocent non-oombatants. The mill
tary factions must change methods
at once. Their interference with re-
lief measures will no longer be toll
Grated. This new position was as
sumed by the Washington administra-
tion today. The fighters confscation
for their own use Of food products
bought by the International Relief
Committee to aid the starving has
forced President Wilson's hand. With
the Red Cross prepared to undertake
relief work on a scale that for ex-
tent, will rival the relief work in Bel

those who need II.
The announcement of the new po-

President himself. II is said that the
President Will not favor Intervention

become necessary. those who know
his mind best declare he will not hesi-

His present plan, so far as can be
learned, is to issue early next week a
review of conditions. He will tell the
country just what he has learned from
his special Investigators. He will de-
clare the present differences between
the rival Mexican leaders due entire
ly to headstrong jealousy. He will
make public the warning that has just
gone forward that the United States
will no longer wait for them 10 COM

of women and children starve.
In effect the president will demand
that the factions get together ant

MOUNTAIN PASSES echo
With ARTILLERY fire
By The United Press.

ROME, May 29.-The boom Of big
guns is sending crashing echoes
through the Alpine passes east OF
Lake Garda. A violent artillery battle
for possession of the narrow railway
defle leading to Rovereto has begun.
Dispatches from Verona early today
indicated that the fighting in the
Adige valley of Trentino for the
moment has overshadowed the con-
fiict along the Isonzo river in the east.
Tyrolese jagaers, retreating from
Ala before the Italian advance, have
installed themselves behind the walls
of the picturesque old fortress at Sar-
ravalle, midway between Ala and
Rovereto. They are equipped with
new mountain hOwitzers. Their OBJ
ject is to hold back the invaders until
the Austrians can prepare themselves
to meet the attack upon Rovereto. The
Italians have dragged mountain guns
northward along the mist-covered
ridges of Monte Baldo. They have
opened fire on the Austrian position
at Serravalle from the heights Of
Monte Altissimo, dominating the Adige
valley. Shells are screaming down
the chasms with a great roar that can
be heard distinctly at Italian frontier
towns.
Another Italian force is attempting
to outfiank the Austrians around the
valley. Having driven the enemy from
Stare, they are moving eastward
around the northern end Of Lake
Garda, to attack Riva and Mori. The
Austrians have posted artillery in the
heights commanding Vail di Ledro and
are disputing this advance.
On Monte Baldo ridge, the Italian
Alpine troops are making steady pro-
gress. The fighting here is of guerrilla
nature, troops advancing in some
| places, single file.
