CARRANZA MAY

OFFICIAL WASHINGTON ACCEPTS ACTION OF LANSING AND LAT

ACTION OPPOSED BY VILLA
Claims Recognition Will Only Cause More Trouble-Both Sides Will Seek Decisive Battle Within
 Next Three Weeks.
Prospects for the

Washington - Prospects for the recognition of General Carranza are much more favorable than at any time since the United States began to ex- ert it's influence toward the establish ment of a government>in in Mexico.
 The decision of the Pan-American diplomats to study for the next three weeks "the material and moral capac- ity" of the elements aspiring to recog- nition have led to the general belief that unless the military situation in Mexico is much changed Tn that period the recognition of the Carranza move ment practically is certain.
 The United States and the govern ments considering the situation intend to investigate carefully to learn wheth- CT the faction in military supremacy gives promise of creating stable gov ernment.
 To demonstrate that the Carranza movement does not control the terri tory it claims in Mexico, will be the object of delegation of Villa-Zapata followers expected here.
 They will he heard by Secretary Lansing. To supplement their argu- ment 1t is said the VQla party is plan- ming an extensive guerilla warfare.
 Enrique C. Llorente, Washington re- presentatiye of General Villa, returned from New York and expressed the con- fldence that within three weeks there would be ample proof of the inability of Carranza to control the territory he claims It Is said that General Villa, using Chihuahua as base, will send out flying columns and by series Of sensational dashes endeavor to show the helplessness of Carranza. The Za- pata forces will renew their activity in the south.
 MT Llorente secuted the idea that any foreigners would be endangered in Villa territory and declared the mili- tary situation would soon show de cided change that would compel the Pan-American conference to withhold recognition from Carranza.

ARABIC EVIDENCE
 CALLED TO BERLIN
AMBASSADOR GERARD WILL PRE- SENT MESSAGE TO GERMAN
 FOREIGN OFFICE.

Washington. = After a conference between Secretary of State Lansing and the president on the case of the Arabic and other diplomatic issues, il was announced for the first time by the State Department that it had cabled the evidence in the Arabic con- troversy to Ambassador Gerard at Berlin for presentation to the Ger man foreign office
 With this important announcement it was stated also that the United States had not made any representa- tions to Germany on the evidence. tt was explained by the highest authori. ties in the State Department that the object in cabling the evidence to An- bassador Gerard was simply that the German foreign office should have not only it's own evidence from it's sub- marine commander, but also all the testimony which has been furnished to the State Department from all sources on the Arabic This govern ment apparently has decided to rest the case for the present. and will await the effect of it's evidence on the German foreign office.
 Secretary Lansing will in day or two go on 10 days vacation, during which period Germany is expected tl consider the case and prepare 1 com munieation to this government II may be delivered by Ambassador Bernstorff to the State Department, or may come direct from Ambassador Gerard
 In the meantime there is nothing in the suggestions of any official com potent to speak on the subject that in. dieates decision on the part of the administration to break off diplomatic relations, or adopt any other drastic course if Germany fails to concede the arguments of the United States.
 The exact points of difference be. tween the United States and Germany on the Arabic case, which heretofore have been variously stated, were de- fined by an authority

 in Voa nyia and Galicia.

London. i Few, if any, of the big
 battles fougt on the eastern front dur ing the pas five months have been . fraught with such importance for the opposing arlies as that now in prog ress east anl south of Wilma, where
 Von Hindenllrg is attempting to cut or ind destiny the Russian army that defended the city
 German official report throws little . light on the operations, simply stat Ing that "the Ittack against the enemy retreating iron Wilma is proceeding"
 Petrograd continues to express confi- dence in the ability of the Russians to extricate themselves Military writ CTS, however, say they are in a dan gerous position. It is quite likely that they got their artillery away be- fore the Germans moved across the railways, as the evacuation of Wilma was decided on weeks ago
 Prince Leopold of Bavaria is aD- preaching the railway to the southeast of Lida. He has reached the district of Dworzo, immediately west of the road skirting the Pripet marshes and running to Rovno. South of the Pri- pet still control the situation and are harassing the Austro-German armies in Volhnyia and Galieia
 Although, presumably, Germany has her hands full in driving the Russians back, the has found mon and guns to go to her allies assistance against Sevia, and the German official com munication announces that German guns have taken up the fight against the Servian artillery across the Dan ube, and claims to have silenced it.
 The bombardment with heavy guns has become mutual in the west, both sides maintaining an almost contin- uous fire, while the British fleet is making matters hot for the Germans on the Belgian coast.
 Intense interest is taken in the Bull garian Iay4 n and the efforts of the opposition parties to induce the king and government to depart from the paths of neutrality and join the en- tente powers. It is believed that, de- spite deniaIs, the railway agreement with Turkey binds Bulgaria to main tain a benevolent neutrality toward Turkey and the Germanie powers.
