GERMANS HALT BIG
BRITISH OFFENSIVE

London, July lin one of the most
desperate hand to hand struggles of
the Western front the Germans drove
back the advancing British and enter
ed the Trones woods.
Five great waves of German infantry,
reinforced by heavy guns behind them,
rolled against the British lines in their
new position and were thrown back
again.
The sixth assault succeeded and the
British were thrust out of the woods.
The English are organizing themselves
for another attempt to capture the DO
sition and desultory fighting continued
in the wood.
The casualties on both sides were
heavy.
With the British suffering reversal
the French drove on toward Peronne,
and announced that a brilliant attack
had carried Hill 81, an important
height which dominates the Somme
river southeast of Biaches and gives
the French a great advantage in their
campaign back of the German lines.
While Berlin declares that the at
'racks of the Russians on the East
front have been repulsed at every
point, Petrograd proclaims another i'm
portant advance in Volhynia.

London, July s. -The appointment
Of David Lloyd-George British secre.

Accepts Carranza'S Offer to Dis
CuSS Differences.
Note Sent TO MEXICO CITY
Expresses Qualification at Mexico's
Desire to Reach Adjustment
of Differences.

Washington, July S.-A note fof-
mally accepting General Carranza's
proposal that differences between the
United States and the de facto gov
eminent OF Mexico be settled by direct
negotiations, has been handed to
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassa-
dor designate. The text of the note
follows:
"Mr. Secretary: l have the honor
to acknowledge the receipt of your
courteous note transmitted to me by
Senior Arredondo on the 4th inst, in
which o refer to my notes of June
20 and June %, and to assure you of
the sincere qualification of my gov
eminent at the frank statement of
the difficulties which unfortunately
have arisen in our relations along the
international boundary, and the un-
reserved expression of the desire of
your government to reach an adjust
ment of these difficulties on a broad
and amicable basis.
"The same spirit of friendship and
OF solicltude for the continuance of
cordial relations between our two
countries inspires my government,
which equally desires an immediate
solution of the matters of difference
which have long vexed both govern
ments.
at is especially pleasing to my gov
eminent that the de facto government
of Mexico is disposed to give quick as
we'll as practical consideration in a
spirit of concord to the remedies
which may be applied to the existing
conditions.
Incorporating the same desire, the
government of the United States is
prepared Immediately to exchange
views as to a practical plan to re-
move finally and prevent a recurrence
of the difficulties which have been the
source of the controversy.

SEVENTY THOUSAND
TROOPS ON BORDER

San Antonio, Tex, July 1.-THE
United States has more than TO-
900 troops on the Mexican border.
This army is being constantly in
creased by the arrival of militiamen.
Bandit raids in the Big Bend coun-
try and the report that a large band
of Villistas is headed that way caused
General Funston to plan the DISPOSE
ton of most Of the national guards
men in that region.
The Big Bend country presents
great difficulties to the maintenance
Of an army, as each town must be
reached by motor trucks from the
railway, necessitating the use of hun
dreds Of trucks.
General Funston remained at the
railway station until late at night to
greet some of the officers of the Sec
ond Kansas infantry, passing through
en- route for Laredo. They were men
who had served under him in the
Philippines.

DEATH LIST FROM
PLAGUE DECREASES

New York, July 8.-Although it was
the hottest day since the beginning of
the epidemic of infantile paralysis two
weeks ago there were fewer fatalities
from the disease.
During the past tw%enty-four hours
the disease killed eighteen children in
the greater city, thirteen of this num-
Der dying in Brooklyn.
Ninety-ive new cases of the disease
were reported in the five boroughs.
During the week just ended there
were 126 deaths, 105 of this number
in Brooklyn. More than 700 cases
were reported.
The falling off in the number of
fatalities and new cases during the
last three days, although only slight,
is regarded as favorable by health ex.
perts.

IN GULF HURRICANE

New Orleans, July 8.-Reports
from sources considered reliable in

Baltimore, July 1O.-The worlds
first submarine merchantmen, the Ger
man under water liner Deutschland,
anchored below Baltimore after voyag-
ing safely across the Atlantic, passing
the allied blockading s%quadrons and
eluding enemy cruisers Watching for
it off the American coast.
1t carried mail and a cargo of many
tons of costly chemicals and dye
stuffs. 1t is to carry back home a
similar amount of nickel and crude
rubber, sorely needed by the German
army.
Sixteen days out from Bremerhaven
to Baltimore, the submarine reached
safety between the Virginia Capes,
passing in on the surface covered by
a heavy pail Of darkness which settled
over the entrance of the bay with the
setting Of a telltale half moon.
Once inside the visitor threw eau
ton aside and began s%hrieking its
siren, signaling a pilot and at the same
time attracting the attention of the
tug Thomas F.. Timmons, which had
been watching in the lower bay for
nearly two weeks to greet the Deutsch-
land and convoy it into port.
Strange Craft Moves Up the Bay.
Three hours later the big submarine
started up the bay, with the German
merchant flag flying, under it's own
power, piloted by Captain Frederick D.
Cooke, of the Virginia Pilots associa-
ton, and conveyed by the Timmons.
AS she moved up the river putting
a little and spreading an oily smoke
behind, the DEUTSCHLAND was spoken
by newspaper men. 1t was a cool
reception. Only monosyllables and
terse replies were Forthcoming. There
had been no trouble, they were told, no
allied ships sighted, nor any chasing
by warships. Heligoland was named
as the point of departure and June 23
as the date of leaving.
Work of discharging the dyestuffs
and other merchandise amounting to
from 500 to 1000 tons started early
while armed guards stood watch. The
d%yestuffs began to pile up in a ware
house filled with nickel and supplies,
which the Deutschland plans to take
back to the f~atherland-if she can
again scott at allied patrols and skirt
the smoking cruisers that seek her.

quist received word that strike diff
culties on the Minnesota iron range

His information came in a letter
from O. A. Poirier, president of the

The letter says miners are returning
to work at Virginia and Eveleth.
Mr.. Poirier said the arrest of the

hearten others who were inclined tc
continue disturbances and that the
outlook for speedy settlement of the
difficulties is bright.
