LONG THREATENED

Latest Advices Lend Color to
Prevalent Belief That Con-
certed Attack Is Under Way =
RUSSIANS PUSHING AHEAD
Sweeping Toward Kolomea;
Turks Claim to Be Holding
Them; U-Boats Active

To-day's dispatches give little indi-
cation of the general course of events
within the past few hours along the
Franco Belgian front where the Brit
ish artillery has been notably active
for two or three days. The latest re-
ports from both Berlin and London,
however, lend color to the somewhat
prevalent belief that the long threat
ened concerted attack by the entente
allies on the various fronts is in pre-
paration, If not in actual process OF
execution.
At Verdun the situation has not
materially changed over night. Paris
reports further progress for the
French in regaining ground in the re-
gion of the Thiaumont work, north of
the citadel Rather spirited fighting
also has been in progress in the re-
gion of Fleury, with no alterations in
position.
Operations by Teutonic submarines
are being continued in the Mediterran-
can where the British steamer Cardiff
and the French steamer Fournel have
been sunk.
Turks Hold Russians
Constantinople reports successes in
Turkish Armenia where the Russians
in some sectors north of the river
Tchoruk are said to be retreating to-
ward the Black Sea coast after q de-
feat at the hands of the Turks.
In the east the Russians. while still
held up in their advance on Kovel by
the Germans, are continuing their ad-
vance against the Austrians in the
south. Their flank now protected by
the Carpathians, they have turned
northward in their sweep through Bu-
kowina and are now approaching Kol-
omea. They are already within ten
miles of the town.
Strategy of the Allies
The allies plan. as 1t is understood
by military men, is not for any COM
bined assault on all forts at once. In
stead they are perfectly content to al

HURRYING EFFORTS TO
GET GUARD TO BORDER
War Department Must Have
MiIitiqmen to Beck Up
Regulars; First Step by
President Will Be to Lay
Whole Situation Before
Congress in Joint Session;
Specific Authority Needed

Washington, D. c., June 27.-There
were clear indications to-day that if
American cavalrymen captured by
Mexican troops at Carrizal were not
released within As hours, action
would be taken by the United States:
The impression prevailed in official
circles that President Wilson would
not wait beyond Thursday at the latest
and possibly not beyond tomorrow
afternoon for definite reply from the
CarranZa government to the note de-
manding the immediate release of the
prisoners and declaration of inten-
tions.
Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico
City reported in an overnight mes
sage received early to-day that he had
delivered the note TO the Mexican
foreign office yesterday morning. He
did not indicate how it had been re-
ceiVed or when a reply is expected.
Hasten Mobilization
While the diplomatic aspects of the
crisis awaited Carranzas S action, the
War Department drove forward its
efforts to hasten mobilization of the
National Guard on the border. 1t is
certain that no aggressive military op-
erations can be undertaken until a
substantial number of State troops is
available to back up General Funston S
lead any movement.
President Wilson's first step, should
he decide to force the issue, probably
would be TO lay the whole situation
before Congress in joint session. 1t is
believed he so informed members of
the foreign committees of both
Houses in his conference with them
Sunday night.
Authority Needed
Specific authority under which the
National Guard could be employed
beyond the border and also authori-
zation for calling out volunteers would
be needed.
1t is regarded as certain also that
any resolution presented for action
would include a reaffirmation of the
position of the administration that it
is being forced into military action for
the defense of its town territory from
outlaws, and has no purpose of terri
torial aggrandizement.
Mexican officials here have eX-
pressed the opinion that General Car
rama would surrender the American
prisoners, whatever reply he might
make to the demand for formal dip
lomatic expression of his purposes.
Army in Good Shape
Every days delay in what seems the
inevitable break in relations with the
Mexican government sees the army
in better position for the swift action
that may follow. This has influenced
against pressing matters to an imme-
diate issue. Had the border forces
been sufficient to release the regulars

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEN WIN
FOURTH PLACE.

The New Ulm high school track team
pulled fourth place at the fifteenth state
high school track and field meet which
was held at Mortified under the auspices
of Carleton College last Saturday after
noon. 1t was by far the closest meet
ever held on Laird Field, as the final re-
suit was a tie, 21-21, between Litchfield
and Faribault. Mortified took third
place with seventeen points and New
Ulm fourth place with fifteen.
Two records were brok en- in the meet,
the pole vault and the discus throw.
The other records were all good since
the track was in ideal condition. New
Ulm failed to place in any of the dashes.
The relay team took third place in a
very close and exciting finish, Litchfeld
and Faribault running a dead heat for
first place. Z
Ben Alvin took first in the half mile
run and second in the quarter mile. His
work In the half mile was of the sensa-
tional order as he was crowded back
at the start and won out by a great
sprint at the finish. In the quarter mile
run he was also boxed in at the start
and could not start his sprint soon
enough to win. .....
Durbahn placed in every event he
entered. In the shot put, throwing
against the holder of the state record he
placed third. He took another third in
the high jump and second in the discus
throw, in competition against man
who broke the state record by about ten
feet. Schleuder placed third in the
broad Jump.
After the meet the visiting athletes
were entertained at a banquet at the
Carleton Gymnasium. The prizes, con-
sisting of cups, medals, and ribbons,
were awarded after the banquet. It is
quite probable that a team will be sent
to the State University meet next
Saturday.
