WASHINGTON, March ll.-With the

today endeavoring 70 get an adequate
food supply into Mexico City.
Lack of food has been the danger, be-
cause hunger riots have been feared,

Elval West, at Mexico city. are advis-

Adyiees to the State Department from

bassies today say that the situation
shows a decided improvement.
The United States now also has the
positive promise of Carranza and villa
that hereafter they will make the pro-

chief duties. Therefore, even though
Obregon evacuates Mexico City, as IL

PARIS, March 11.-By two weeks Of
violent attacks in the Champagne re-
gion. French troops have lifted the
pressure upon the Russians who re-
treated. into Poland and have saved
Warsaw.
The war Office made this claim to-
day in explanation of the recent on
slaughts against the German positions
in the Champagne region. The ex-
PLANTATION was made in the form OF an
official eyewitness" statement II
confirmed the claim made by the Ger
man general staff yesterday and
cabled here from London that the oD-
iect OF the vigorous offensive around
Perthes, which puzzled military
critics. was the relief of the Slavs
who retired from the Mazurian Lakes.
The Witness" however, denied
Berlin claims that the French had
lost $4,000 in the Champagne fighting.
II was admitted that the French
losses were heavy. but the war Of
fee said that they were small COM
pared TO the damage inflicted upon
fhe German troops and the effect upon
the campaign in far-away Poland.
The Germans have been compelled
10 bring up heavy reinforcements in
the Champagne district. They have
expended huge quantities Of ammuni-
tion. They have been unable to spare
a single soldier for the Poland cam
paign and Won Hindenburg has beg
red in vain for reinforcements. Mean
while the Russians have reformed

"1here is no fear in any branch of the
government that the sinking of the Frye
will be followed by any warlike meas
ures on the part OF the United States.
But the President intends TO Insist on
the rights of the United States being re-

is already certain that representations
will be made 10 Germany demanding
that she disavow the action OF the

cials and members of the diplomatic
corps believe that Germany will not
only do so, but that she will accept
