RUSSIAN LINES ARE
RESISTING DRIVE

London, July 4-As the result OF
one week Of most costly onslaughts on
the Russian lines between the Stok-
hod and the Styr rivers the Austro-
German forces have advanced their
battle front at the most five miles
eastward towards the Styr, and that
only in some sectors, says a Reuters
dispatch from Petrograd.
Military authorities, the CORE
spondent adds, are confident the Rus
SLAMS are firmly holding the enemy
on this front, pending the develop
ment Of General Letchitzsky's sweep
through Bukowina, notwithstanding g
that strong German reinforcements
are entering the field.
Meanwhile the Russians have pro-
gressed fifteen miles southwestward
of Kolomea and the Austrians there
are hard pressed to cover their re-
treat to the Carpathian mountains.

British Progress in Terrific
Drive Is Slower,
GENERAL fOCH IN COMMAND
German Artillery, Machine Gun and
Rifle Fire Growing Heavier as
Battle Increases in Intensity.

London, July 4.--Commanded by
troops, cooperating with the British
in the great offensive in the Somme
river region, have made notable gains
in the direction OF Peronne, one OF the
most important strategical points
along that front
Successfully, they have captured
Herbecourt, Feuilleres, and Flaucourt
and farther to the south French infan-
try stormed and occupied Assevillers.
They followed this success by car
rylng the second line of German en-
trenchments as far as the outskirts Of
Estrees. Then came the capture of
Buscourt and Flaucourt.
Something more than three miles
was thus gained, which, added to pre-
vious gains, gives the French troops
clear advance on about six miles at
the farthest point to within three miles
of Peronne
Meanwhile the British, moving more
slowly, but over longer front, have
captured La Boisselle, where the
fighting for the last two days has been
Of the fiercest character.
Report Progress Elsewhere.
The British also report Substantial
progress in some places" and the re-
pulse of many counter attacks by the
Germans.
British troops, however, have been
forced back from some of the posi-
tions which they had taken early Mon
day morning. 1t is evident that the
German artillery fire has become much
heavier than during the earlier stages
of the battle The prisoners taken by
the British so far number 4,300, while
the French have captured 5000 or
more. Much war material has been
taken by the French.
Beyond admitting the withdrawal OF
a division from their first line trenches
on the Somme the German officia

President Desires to Avert a
Clash With Mexico,
WILL CAMP ALONG BORDER
American Troops Now in Southern Re
public Said to Be Gradually
Moving Northward.

Washington, July Appropriations
are believed to be under consideration
for gradual withdrawal of the Ameri-
can forces from Mexico
Rather than plunge the two coun.
tries into war the president, it is un-
derstood, is prepared to abandon as
soon as practicable the original oh,
ject OF the Pershing expedition and
leave to the forces Of General Car
rama the duty of patrolling the terri,
tory south of the Rio Grande.
Only an attack by CarranZa forces,
it is understood, would upset the pro
gram.
This does not mean that there will
be any changes in the disposition OF
tho national guardsmen
On the contrary, every indication in
Washington is that the war depart
ment, through it's reorganization OF
the border patrol and other measures
means to keep the state troops on the
boundary Indefinitely.
They will remain on duty to pro
tect American soil from possible raids
or encroachments, and to support the
regular troops if, as the president
earnestly hopes will not come to pass
it becomes necessary for United
States troops to charge into Mexico
again
Retirement Has Begun.
Technically speaking, there has
been no change of policy and no or
ders to General Pershing to withdraw
Actually, however, the retirement has
begun.
On reliable authority it may be
stated that the main base of the puni
tive expedition is now located less
than 100 miles south of Columbus.
How long it will be kept there will
be determined by developments. Even
tually, however, it is the purpose tt
evacuate the country completely.
Recent developments are said tt
have convinced the president and his
advisers that the American forces can
not be kept in Mexico indefinitely
without clash.
1t is realized, however, that three
obstacles must be overcome before the
troops can be finally withdrawn:
First-To convince the American
public that such course would be the
Wisest.
Second-To avoid making it appear
that the withdrawal was in response
to the threatening attitude of Car
rama.
Third.-to make it certain that Car
rama will patrol the territory effec
lively and to that extent cooperate
with the United States in preventing
q recurrence Of the bandit raids.
