CHECK FRENCH
AROUND ARRAS
Joffre's Forces Advance
More Slowly at "Laby-
rinth" and Hebuterne.

London, June 9.-The French, al
though pressing forward slowly in the
sectors TO the north and south OF Ar
ras, apparently are meeting with
more effective opposition. The Ger
mans, already reported to have received
achievements, are confronting the
enemy with violent artillery fire, which
evidently has served to retard the
French advance.
According to the Paris official report,
the French have gained enough add
tional houses in the village of Melville
st. Vast to give them control Of all
Of the east side of the place. In the

Hebuterne, south of Arras, they also
have made slight gains. The Berlin
statement admits the loss of the last
group of houses in Melville, but re-
ports the repulse Of French attacks at
other points.
Melville Positions Taken.
The Paris official communication is
sued tonight says:
ARTILLERY fighting has continued very
violently in the sector to the north of
Arras. We carried last night and this
morning the houses in Melville st.
Vast which the enemy still held. All
the village on the east side is in our
power. We have, besides, progressed
up to the north group of houses. In the
Labyrinth our advance is being fol-
lowed up, notably in the southeastern
section.

withstanding a violent bombardment,
we extended our positions around the

"In the region to the east of Tracy

Four British subjects were killed by

There were only twenty Carranza
soldiers at the place attacked, and
they retreated before the assailants,

Fl Paso, Tex, June 9.-All territory
south Of Torreon was abandoned to-
day by General Villa, when he began
moving his army from Lagos Demo-
rene back to his old base at Torreon:
With guns levelled at the heads OF
engineers and trainmen Villistas
forced the running of troop trains that
the army might escape destruction at
the hands Of General Obregon's forces.
The strike of brakemen and train
men on railroads controlled by Villa
continued to-day, and all engineers
Joined in sympathetic strike. one
passenger train was run from Chihua-
hua to the border under heavy guard
and only troop trains are operating
south of that place.
The announcement was made at Tor
reon that Villa would make that city
his final battle-ground should Obregon
persist in the pursuit, but he hopes
Carranza will consent to a truce, that
peace may be arranged.
That Villa is thoroughly whipped
and no longer has any hope Of regain
ing the ground lost during the last
month is regarded as beyond doubt
now. Villa, it is stated, has completed
his message to President Wilson, but
has been unable to transmit it.
Significance is attached to the sud
den demand on the border for Mexican
Federal currency of the old Diaz and
Huerta issues. The Federal currency,
which has been lowering around II
cents for months, jumped to-day to Is
cents. and all that was offered at the
money exchanges here was quickly TAX

cents and Carranza currency went
from six to seven and half cents to-
day.
