u. S TROOPS BEING
HELD IN READINESS
FEARS ENTERTAINED THAT MExl
CANS MAY NOT WELCOME AID
FOR THE STARVING.

Washington, D. c., June 11.-Pos-
sible interference by local Mexican
officials along the border with plans of
the Red Cross to distribute through
American consular officers and it's own
agencies, food supplies to the famine
threatened Mexican people, is the rea-
son for orders from the war depart
ment to delay the departure of three
regiments from the border to the
Philippines.
The American troops cannot cross
the border without instructions from
Washington, but in view Of the posi-
bility of resistance by the Mexican
officials, the war department intends
to have at hand means to enforce any
instructions that may be given by
President Wilson. The regiments at
fected are the Fifteenth cavalry at
Fort Bliss, Texas, the Twenty-seventh
infantry at Galveston and the Ninth
cavalry at Fort Douglas, Arizona.
Those regiments were to proceed to
Manila to relieve three other regi-
ments. 1t is said at the war depart
ment, however, that the suspension Of
orders is only temporary.

TEUT0N ADVANCE
FINALLY CHECKED
RUSSIANS DELIVER HARD BLOWS
TO AUsTRo-GERMAN FORCES
IN EASTERN FIELDS.

London, June 11.-British observ-
ers of the war, forming their opinions
on the latest dispatches from Russia,
believe that the Austro-German forces
threatening Lemberg from the south
east have been checked in their ad-
vance. Russia, they declare, has de-
llvered return blow and hard one.
The great masses of German and Aus
trian troops which have forced pas
sage of the Dniester river near Zuraw-
ma. according to the latest announce
ment of the Russian war office, have
been flung back with heavy losses in
both men and material.

thought to be safe, for nowhere else

News was received yesterday that
Russian reinforcements were moving
south along the Dniester river from
Mikolaiow to Rohatyn. but it was
hardly expected here that they would
achieve such quick results. If this
victory has been decisive. 1t is the
first real check delivered by the Rus
SLAMS since the start Of the new Aus
tro-German rush through Galicia
Here it is characterized as giving re-
newed faith to Great Britain and
France to the recuperative powers of
Russian arms.
Nothing new has been heard in Lon

The Italians are now less than twen-
ty miles from Triest, the chief port OF
Austria.
On the western front the methodi-

the moment to have ceased. But on
the other hand the German counter at

Berlin, June 1.-THE military COM

al order prohibiting the publication or
communication of military informa.
tion without a previously granted or
der He says the publication of German
losses, although based on official lists,
could lay no claim to correctness and
in part give greatly exaggerated fig

calculated to evoke groundless uneas-

casion incorrect ideas abroad concern

The commandant therefore forbids
the publication Of all such articles.

GERMAN OFFICER
GIVES INTERVIEW
MAN WHO GAINED FAME WITH
CRUISER EMDEN SAYS CON.
STANTINoPLE is SAFE.

Vienna, June 11.-An interview with
Captain Won Muecke, formerly of the
German cruiser Emden, in which he
says the forcing of the Dardanelles
and the taking of Constantinople are
impossible is published by the news
papers here. He declares submarines
are likely to cut off the water supply
of allied troops on the Gallipoli pen
insula which could compel them to
surrender as they would be unable to
return to their transports.
Captain Won Muecke says the guns
of the British warships have been
damaged by hard usage and that the
superdreadnaught Queen Elizabeth
soon will be compelled to withdraw on
this account. He asserts the Turks
have plenty of ammunition and are
magnificent fighters. They lost heav-
lily at first under the fire of guns from
the fleet but now have dug themselves
in and are using the best means posi-
BILE to destroy allied landing parties.
Captain Won Muecke apparently has
arrived at Vienna on his way to Berlin
after having piloted the landing party
which was under his command when
the Emden was sunk, from Cocos is
land to safety at Damascus, whence 1t
was not difficult for them to reach
Cohstantinople.

editorial comment in the editions

varied in wording but were similar

the publication today of the latest
American note to Germany concerning
the sinking of the Lusitania, officials
of the United States government and
diplomats generally discussed among
themselves the probable character OF
the German governments answer
While there was no definite informa
ton, the feeling in German quarters
was that favorable response was
likely, as the note seemed to open the
door to a solution compatible alike
with the interests of both Germany
and the United States.
The note. it was said, was purposely
phrased so that it would give Germany
an opportunity to meet the wishes OF
the United States with dignity and in
conformity with German public opin-
ion Many officials wondered why Sec
retary Bryan declined to sign the note,
which they regarded as friendly In
tone and carrying many expressions
of good will. They claimed its friend
illness was the very means that he had

the American purpose. Nearly every
one in official circles disagreed with
Mr.. Bryan that the note might lead to
war. Germany's answer was not look
ed for under ten days or two weeks.
No Reply For Two Weeks.
Unofficial advices received here said
that the note, which had been con-
delayed in transmission, had
been received by Ambassador Gerard
