MExICO's OFFER ACCEPTED
United States Welcomes Carranza's
Offer To Adjust Differences Be-
tween the Two Governments

Washington.--The de facto govern.
ment of Mexico has been informally
notified, through Eliseo Arredondo.
ambassador designate, that the Unit
ed States welcomes Gen. Carranza's
proposal to adjust all pending differ
ences between the two governments
by direct diplomatic negotiation.
Mr.. Arredondo was informed Of the
American governments attitude in a
conversation with Secretly Lansing
after the latter had conferred with
President Wilson. Later formal
note will confirm the ambassadors re-
port.
It is evident at the state department
that officials believe an opportunity
has now been presented out OF which
may come a means Of giving the de-
facto government material aid In re-
storing order throughout Mexico. 1t
is known that the pacific nature Of the
Mexican note which brought the cri-
sis between the governments to- an
end is construed here as indicating
that Gen. Carranza, besides being I'M
pressed by American military prepa-
rations, has been deeply Influenced by
the pressure and argument brought to
bear on him by friends In the United
States, by European diplomats in
Mexico City and particularly by rep
resentatives of many of the Latin
American powers.

Smith Explains Bill Barring Liquor
Advertisements From Mall.

Washington. Senator Smith Of
Georgia has urged the committee on
postoffice and post roads for an early
report recommending passage OF his
bill to forbid the. use Of the mails for
letters, postal cards, circulars or
pamphlets advertising intoxicating
liquors in states where such adver-
Using is prohibited by law. The SEN
ator explained that an erroneous i'm
preston had been created that the
legislation he proposed would bar
newspapers containing liquor adver-
tisements from the mails.
Il do not think we could prohibit
the use of mails for circulation OF
newspapers in prohibition states" said
Senator Smith. "My bill seeks to get
at the root of an evil 1t is the postal
cards, pamphlets and circular letters
sent to citizens, and particularly the
youths. of the prohibition states, ad-
vertising liquors and quoting price
lists that we want to stop"

ALLIED DRIVE TlGHTENs
Russians Report Continued Successes
and Many Prisoners Have Been
Captured.

London.-The two British official
dispatches issued record little change
in the situation on the British front.
They show that the Germans have
brought up strong achievements from
other parts OF their lines and are
stubbornly contesting every yard Of
the British advance.
The French troops cooperating with
the British in the Somme river region
have Strengthened their line by the
capture of Barleux, Belloy- En- Santerre
and Estrees and are advancing on a
wider front toward Peronne.
On the British end OF the line only
slight progress has been made. On
official dispatches say that the entire
British front Of 80 miles is bearing its
full share of the battle.
Although the French are making a
steady advance In the Somme sector
without apparently heavy casualties.
they now face an easier task, to reach
their objective, the river itself. On
the Verdun front the Germans have
taken the Thiaumont works for the
fourth time. Around this place, which
has been the center of desperate at
tacks for many days past, thousands
Of men have fallen.
Russians and Italians are lending
all their strength to the combined blow
against the central powers. All along
the Russian front engagements of the
severest character are In progress and
the Russians driving north from Kolo-
mea have advanced more than twenty
miles and are threatening to outflank
Gen. Won Bothmer's army and the
Austro-German forces In the Tarnopol
region.
The Russians report the capture Of
many guns and more than 5000 pris-
oners on the various sectors Of the
eastern front.
