ATHENS. July "a general attack

gun Saturday morning and continued
throughout Sunday. according to Mytil-
enc dispatches today.

into Russian Poland. and are making
equally as great progress in Galicia.
The Germans claim already to have par
TALLY severed the slav armies. and 1t is
evidently their aim to divide them COM
pletely. The wedge they are forcing
into the Russian lines is advancing five
miles daily. and threatens to drive the
Cars troops from the Vistula river,
forcing them back over the Bug.
Splitting Russian Armies.
The success Of this operation would
place a swamp and marshland thous-
sands of acres in extent between the
two main divisions Of Grand Duke Mich
olas' forces, and military experts here
believe 1t would compel the Russians to
give up Warsaw, together with their
whole line.
The Russians have not ceased to offer
desperate resistance. and on the south
east Galician front they are battling
tenaciously, possessing the advantage
OF position. which is supported by a
series Of parallel rivers beyond the
Gnila Lipa. Petrograd asserts that the
Ausrro-German advance in this direc-
ton will be extremely costly.

Intimations that President Wilson.
soon after his return from Cornish. will
make a new move in the Mexican situa-
ton. are current today.
President Wilson is said to be per-
turbed especially over the practical
failure OF the Red Cross campaign to
give relief to the starving Mexicans.
This failure is due. not to the Red
Cross. but to the political chaos which
reigns In the Mexican republic.
Not only has the Red Cross campaign
proven In large part futile, but the
Mexican leaders have done nothing ef-
fective toward composing their differ
ences.
Thus far there Is no sign of a move
toward armed Intervention, but the
opinion is getting stronger here that
nothing short Of that will bring peace to
Mexico and save the lives Of the famine
stricken thousands.
May Try New Experiment.
1t is generally supposed the President
will hesitate to go as far as armed in
tervention, and that he will try some
new experiment in the hope of getting
the Mexican factions to back one man
or group pending the election of a
President.
American Consul General Shanklin
and Charles J. O'Connor, of the Red
Cross. have arrived in Mexico City with
light supplies. according to a dispatch
to the State Department from Consul
Silliman.
The Red Cross agents have not been
enabled to get large supplies of food
Into Mexico City. but only hospital sup
plies. The population needs both and
unless the Carranza forces drive their
way into the Mexican capital there is
little indication that large quantities of
food can be sent in. The only way to
get them in is by arranging motor
transport between Mexico City and
Pachuca.
Silent About Outrages.
The message telling of the arrival of
Shankln and O'Connor in Mexico City
Is encouraging in this. that 1t is silent
on the subject of outrages to foreign
ers and hence 1t Is supposed foreigners
are safe. Moreover. the Zapata forces,
still In control in Mexico City, have not
molested the Red Cross agents
The fact Shanklin and O'Connor have
reached Mexico City will enable them,
II it is possible in any way. to arrange
to have food supplies shipped in.
Rearrcst OF General Huerta and his
incarceration without bail have re-
lieved officials here. They have wor-
rief lest he jump across the border, as
Orozco has done, or is believed to have
done. Huerta is to be kept out or
Mexico in any event and his rearrest
simpllties the problem.
Villa has sent troops north to gar
r1sion Juarez and capture Orozco ir
possible as we'll as to NIP in the puu
any revolutionary movement he or any
OF his associates have planned.

Several Carloads of
Foodstuffs to Be Sent
To MOnclova Tomorrow

According to a message from Piedras
Negras received at the Red Cross head
quarters today. several carloads Of
foodstuff will be sent to Monclove to-
morrow.
Arrangements have been made with
the fighting forces to see the shipment
through. 1t also Is announced that
General Devol. the Red Cross agent on
the border has asked that additional
shipments Of meat and grain be sent
to Consul General Hanna at Monterey.

In regard 10 the French foreign policy,

Premier Viviani refused yesterday to

The resignation OF NJ Delcasse has pro-
