WASHINGTON. April "A protest against the recent decree issued ,at Chihuahua providing for the forfeit ure of mines upon which the taxes are not paid or upon which development work is suspended beyond q fixed date. has been lodged with the Villa officials by the state department. The decree, the department holds, would have imposed undue hardships on the American and other foreign owners of Mexican mining property. The following statement was issued tonight summarizing the situation: 'The department is advised that Villa administration at Chihuahua on March 19 issued a decree with refer ence to mining operations, providing that if operations at the mines are tsuspended or taxes not paid the mines will be forfeited It is stated that the decree will he in effect from April I and that 120 days from the date of the promulgation of the law will be allowed for the resumption of operations.
 The department has made a pro- test against the provisions of this de- cree. pointing out the hardships that would be imposed upon companies in compelling them to operate their
 mines when either the condition of the work or the political situation would make such operations highly inadvis able and unprofitahle.T
 Definite information as te progress of the campaign in the region of Ira puato, in which Gen. Villa is leading lis troops in person against the Car ranza forces under Gen Obregon still were lacking late today. although report to the state department dated Irapuato.

 Tt was intimated on the eighth said the message, that fighting is | still in progress. notwithstanding that
 the enemy had been driven north
 ward 90 kilometers" The statement
 adds:
 The bells in Vera Cruz were rung
 Thursday afternoon to celebrate the reported victory
 Villa supporters here insisted that
 private advices indicated Obregons
 force was in a desperate plight. Col
 nmns under the personal direction
 of Villa and General Angeles were said to be pressing toward Quere-
 taro in the form of an inverted wedge which threatened to engulf the entire CarranZa force It was as serted that Villa had assembled a
 superior force and expected to crush
 Obregon when his main army marching at the apex of the wedge, came into action.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Germany has sent the United States a note complaining that the United States has accomplished nothing in it's diplomatic correspondence with the allies to obtain for the American ex- porters the right to ship foodstuffs to the civilian population of bel ligerent country. The communication intimates also that the United States has virtually acquiesced in the Bri- tish order in-council prohibiting com merce with Germany.
 The German government calls at tention to the fact that the allies are obtaining large shipments of arms and ammunition from dealers in the United States. and declares the American government, while insisting on it's le- gal right to ship arms to the belliger- ents, does not with equal energy pur- sue the right to ship foodstuffs and non -contraband to the civil population of Germany.
 The note urges that irrespective of the formal aspects of these questions of shipping arms to belligerents. the Splrlt or neutrality SnOttlu De observed.
 In support of this contention quo tation is cited from the presidents s address to congress on the Mexican affairs in August, 1913. when he said:

 Russian newspapers seem convinced that Hungary, if not the whole of the dual monarchy, is ready to seek peace and it is said that Emperor Francis Joseph has requested Pope Benedict to intervene in his behalf.
 Just as fiece a battle. but on q small
 Ter scale is going on in the west be- tween the Mouse and the Moselle. There the French are persisting in the offensive against the Germans and ac- cording to Paris reports, continue to progress. The French reports, how ever, are at direct variance with re- ports from Berlin, which announce that all French attacks were repulsed with heavy losses.
 Except in Italy. the neutral country most directly interested in the peace question little credence is given the report that Austria is seeking to end the var. although the opinion is ex- pressed in military circles here that if Russia succeeds in overcoming the joint resistance of the Austro-C;erman troops in the Carpathians as she ap- parently has that of the Austro- Hun garian armies. Hungary will he ready to bring the war to an end as far as she is concerned.
 However, the Russians have some way to go vet before they reach the plains of Hungary and the Austro German forces are placing every ob stacle in the way The whole southern slopes of the mountains have been strongly fortified and troops being poured into the region in dispute.

LOS ANGELES. April ?.-A con fession by victoria Desparte that the story she told the grand jury tw" weeks ago was a fabrication suggest cd hv T detective whose nan.c has been mentioned in connection with q supposed political plot, injected fur ther complication into the case of Chas. Sebastian. chief of police, re- gently indicted for alleged acts sub Versive of the morals of a minor girl. The grand jury hurriedly convened this afternoon Miss Desparte. her chum. Lucille Livingston, and sever al others were examined as witness es. Then Miss Desparte was thrust into jail to await d further session of the inquisltors tomorrow.
 District Attorney WoOlwine Subse- cuently issued statement in which he said that while Miss Despartes charge that Chief Sebastian had talk en her and the Livingston girl to various resorts in a police automo- bile was responsible for the grand jury's original investigation. he had been indicted on charges relative to the morals of Miss Edith Serkin. and would be tried on that charge.
 Friends of Sebastian, on the other hand, held that the Desparte girls statement. which was made to Juve- nile Judge Taft of the superior court.
 
 of a political conspiracy designed to prevent his election as mayor of Los Angeles.
 Miss Desparte appeared in Judge Tafts chambers this afternoon and declared that she had been shown | picture of Sebastian and coached to tell the grand jury that he was the man who took her and Miss Living ston to certain house. She added that she had consented when the de- tective agreed to her condition that she wouldn't do it for nOthing," but since then she had become conscience stricken and T wanted to get it off my soul, she said
 The Desparte girl is now a hospi- tai patient. and Judge Taft said that before she came to him she made a confession to Mrs. Muir, a nurse.
 Sebastian now rests under two in dictments. One of these charges him with having tried to influence a jury by sending it's members letter de- manding a hearing of his side of the Desparte case. The other alleges that he and Mrs. Lillie Pratt contributed to the dependency of the latter $ half sister and ward Edith Serkin.
 The latter had no connection with Miss Desparte, but the charges she made brought about the inquiry con- corning Miss Serkin, after Mrs. Pratt had made a statement that she had been offered $500 to entrap Sebas- tian.
 Judge Taft said this afternoon that the Desparte girl named a detective employed by the district attorney as the man who induced her to make the charge that Sebastian had taken her to various resorts in police automobile. This detective also took prominent part in the development of the Serkin case.
