GERMANS DEFEND
DELV|lLE WOOD TO
LAST MAN
Forest Of Stumps and Snlinters
Most "HelIish Scene of War
FULL OF DEAD OF BOTH ARMIES
Has Been Center of Bitterest Fighting
Since First Taken by British
July IS.

London, July 2S-Delville Wood and
Longueval at last are firmly in the
grasp Of Gen. Sir Douglas Haig's
forces, it was announced officially to-
night Defended almost literally to
the last man by the Germans, the two
positions have been a menace to the
British advance and their capture is
source of great qualification.
Delville Wood, of which the trees
are nothing but jagged stumps brist.
ling above shell ploughed ground and
almost impenetrable tangles of splint-
ers which once were trunks and bran
ches. has been described as the most
'hellish scene" of the war 1t is filled
with the dead of both armies. The
British, by hard fighting yesterday and
last night took all but an acre.
To-day, they completed the task by
killing or expelling the last of the
Fifth Brandenberg division which was
defending it. The wood is on high
ground, and therefore extremely yalua-
bic as strategic point.
Delville Wood and the village of
Longueyal were first taken by the Brit
ish forces July 10. Strong German
counter attacks, in which they used a
new shell which did not explode but
emitted asphyXiating gas, forced Gen.
Haig to yield some ground in the vii
lage and to abandon the wood entirely.
Resuming the offensive, there was ter.
rife fighting for the two points ever
since-some observers say the most
terrific fighting of the war.
The importance of taking the village
was that by so doing the British estab.
| lished their right wing firmly on line
| even with the French left wing, which
had outstripped the British in its ad
vance. With the possession of Tongue
val, the British line runs almost due
east from point just outside ThiepvaI
to Longueval and the River Somme
There is slight receding curve-the
mex t task of the commander tC
straighten.
| Every house in the village had to be
fought for separately Ii was machine
gun street warfare until the narrow
thoroughfares were a shambles.

WILSON ACCEPTS
c A R RANzANS
PEACE PLAN
President Agrees on Commission
to Settle Troubles with Mexico
INSISTED UPON NOTIFICATIONS
other Matters Than the Withdrawal
of American Troops Must Be
Considered.

Washington, July 2S.-President
Wilson accepted today in modified
form Carranzas suggestion that a com
mission be appointed to decide wheth-
er the American troops shall evacuate
Mexico and to settle the difficulties
now pending between the two coun.
tries.
The Presidents acceptance is con-
veyed in note to the Mexican Foreign
office which acting secretary of state
Polk haned this forenoon to Eliseo
Arredondo, the Mexican Ambassador
Designate. Assurances had already
been received here that CaranZa will
accept the notifications suggested by
this government.
These notifications are that the
commissions scope of action be broad.
ened so that other matters which the
United States may regard as pertinent
to an improvement in the friendly re-
lations of the two countries may be es-
tablished.
Carranza at first objected to this
suggestion on the rgound that it would
needlessly delay the commissions work
and bring about no decision relative to
the withdrawal of the American troops
until possibly late in the fall.
The President, however, insisted up
on this point and Carran2a finally ac
quiesced The President also stipu
lates in his note that nothing done by
the commission will in any way be fina
until it has been approved by this gov
nment and the de facto government
or Mexico.
