The Russians, continuing their ad- vance against the Austrians through Bukowina, have crossed the river Ser eth, southwest of CzernowitZ and occu- pied the towns of Zadova Streginetz and Gliboka. The Austrians in this region, their army cut in two. are de- clared by Petrograd to be in disorderly retreat with the Russians pursuing them toward the Carpathian noun tains.
 An element of uncertainty as to the situation between the Pripet river and the Glacian frontier has arisen owing to the divergent reports of the Russian and German war offices both claim ing successes for their armies. North east of Kiselin, which lies between Lutsk and Vladimir -Volynski, Petro- grad says, an Austrian attack, support ed by Germans, was repulsed, while Berlin asserts that the Teutons were victorious and are fighting their way forward against the Russians. The Russians also claim a defeat of the Teutonic allies southeast of Lo- katchi, which lies south of Kiselin while Berlin declares that between the Kovel-Lutsk railroad and the Turia river, the Teutons have broken dowr the Russian resistance or repulsed theii | attacks.
 In Galicia, Austrians and Germans are still desperately resisting the Rus sian attempts forward toward Lemburg
 In general, the situation on the othel fronts is unchanged.
 In the region of Fort Vaux, north east of Verdun, there has been rathel lively artillery fighting and Lombard ments and mining operations have talk

DOUGLAS, Ariz., June 20.-Mex- ican troops have begun a northward movement along the right of way of the Nacozari railroad, according to the statement of refugees from the south late today. A cavalry advance guard of 250 reached >Gabullona, twenty-two miles south, last night, they said. This, with the exception of a small garrison ordinarily main- tained in Agua PIieta, is the farthest north Mexican soldiers have come in eight weeks, it is stated.
 At the same time, all of the troops chuta, thirty-five miles south of Douglas, were reported to have moved north six miles, to Fronteras, where the infantry concentration camp of the Gales forces is located.
 It is estimated that there are ap- proximately 2500 men at Fronteras at the present time.
 Reports from Nacozari stated that 15G0 civilian volunteers were organiZ- ing to join the army at Fronteras ir the event of the outbreak of war while many civilians from Cumpas Moctezuma and other towns south oi Nacorazi are prepared to marcl north in case they are needed.
 Railroad equipment was gathered today in Agua Prieta, and, accordins ito reliable American sources, all O the families in the city were takel southward, presumably to NacoZari shortly before nightfall The mean ing of this move cannot be fathomet here, unless it portends further north ward advance by the Mexicans and desire to remove Mexican non-com batants from the possible dange zone. A large number of Mexican went across the border here wit their families. Large quantities ( food stuffs were crossed to Agu Prieta during the day.

INFANTRY MOVE
 DOWN RIO CYANIDE

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, June 20. A large force of infantry began moving down the Rio Grande from Brownsville tonight in civilian autos for an unknown destination. The only information obtainable at Fort Brown was that this force the size of which was unknown, was for, patrol work tonight. An unusual movement of Mexican troops up and down the Rio Grande was reported by border patrols in this district to Fort Brown late tonight. Military au- thorities attributed the movement to excitement among MeXicans, who fear an attack from the American side. Small bodies of de facto troops were moving m and out of Matamoros during the evening. It was learned here to- night that a force of Carranza cavalry has taken possession op- posite San Pedro, Tex, about 12 miles west of here. A detail Of the Twenty sixth infantry under command of Col.

lRepuDllCdn "A. r. EGdSeO VlFc! DOUGLAS, Ariz., June 20.-Quiet preparations on the part of officers Of the Arizona district of the United States border patrol to prepare for any possible development. the arrival here of increasing numbers of Ameri- can refugees from the mining districts south of the international line and re- peated assurances of both Mexican and American officials that law -abid ins citizens of the opposite national ity need fear no harm, marked devei- opments in this vicinity during the day.
 One of the outstanding features of the situation here was the faith ex- pressed almost unanimously by Amer jeans in the promised protection to foreign residents of Sonora by General F. Elias Gales, commander of the CarranZa forces of the state. The only fear apparently was that some of the Mexican troops or citizens might get beyond his control should disorders occur in other parts of Mexico.
 Many Americans who arrived from the interior of Sonora, as well as res idents of DouglasA expressed the be- lief that, if intervention is forced upon the United States no serious fighting will result in Sonora, and especially along the border here.
 At the same time, persistent re- ports were in circulation that a fac ticn of Mexican residents of Pirtle- vile. a suburb of Douglas, was plan ming to begin rioting at the first sign of fighting between Mexican and American forces However, efforts to trace these reports to any definite source were fruitless and most off cials were inclined to discredit them. Possible attempts at rioting and perhaps efforts to burn buildings, it was stated by one official was caus- ing the most concern of the authori- tIes. For this reason all such reports were promptly investigated.
 Details of their detention by armed Mexican civilians at CaEanea Satur- day night were related today by scores or refugees reaching here from that mining camp of. Sonora. The follow ing series of events there were related by the arrivals:
 An official of Cananea received { telegram from Hermosillo Saturday night. stating that the United State: had intervene6 in Mexico. The mes. sage was read to the Mexican aud fence in a theater.
 A large number of the American residents of the mining camp were at tending a dance.

MEX. TROOPS MOVE NORTHWARD
 TOWARD THE ARIZONA BORDER

An embargo on war munitions and explosives of every sort was declared by the United States government and put in effect here. Everyone cross- ing the border from Douglas to Agua Prieta was forced to submit to a close search of their clothing for pos sible concealed weapons or ammuni- tion. No arrests were made during the day. Vehicles also were searched 4 Apprehension among Mexicans en- ployed in this portion of southeastern Arizona was further allayed today by the issuance of bulletins by the loca smelters. The Mexieans were ad- vised that as long as they, conducted themselves in an orderly manner they would be given every guarantee o1 safety and personal liberty

and continued activity of the troops of the de facto government was re- ceived.
 General Pershing has been success ful in avoiding a clash with the troops that are drawn across his rear and that cover his Hanks notwithstanding that reports indicated that he has con- tinued to send scouting patrols some distance from his line of communica- ton and towards the south beyond Namiquipa. The Mexican troops so far have contented themselves with as suming such strategic positions as to give them some advantage in the event they are ordered to carry out General Trevino's threat to attack General Per- shing If he moves in any but a northerly direction"
