The State Department still is in the

worked in the situation by Gen. Pablo
Gonzales and his constitutionalist army.
In the face of assurances from the Car

ton had been established between Vera

Inent was informed by one of its official
agents in Vera Cruz late yesterday after
noon that neither telegraph or radio COM

the State Department has no means of
ascertaining whether Gonzales has re-en-

State Department officials expect an
answer from CarranZa to the demand
of this government that the line be-

later than Wednesday. They hope to
hear automatically today of the occupa-

his utmost to get supplies into Mexico
City in accordance with the demands
of this government.

Italian Artillery Hurls Shells
Against Austrians' New Defenses

PEELED to retreat SO demoralizes the
men that they are panic-stricken and

The Austrians do not surrender
through mere cowardice or weak de-
fehse. On the contrary, they have shown
the most stubborn resistance, which is
overcome only by the excellent organiza-
ton of the Italian troops. their splendid
tactical leadership, the power of their
artillery and the valor OF their officers
and men.
In connection with the battle in the
