GERMANS DRIVEN
OUT OF TRENCHES
FRENCH CLAIM SUCCESS IN IN
PANTRY CHARGES IN THE
VERDUN REGION.
The Claim is Made by Germans That
Attacks by Frenchmen Were Re-
pulsed.-Victory in Air Fight
Claimed by French.

London.-The French and Germans
on several sectors to the northwest
of Verdun have been engaged in rela-
lively heavy infantry fighting, with the
results evidently in favor of the
French. To the north of lie Mort
Homme the French seized a German
trench and captured fifty-three prison
ers and to the north of Cumieres made
a similar gain in which thirty prison
ers were taken. Berlin says that strong
French attacks from lie Mort Homme
to the northern part of the Caurettes
wood were repulsed.
On the remainder of the French
front, except from small infantry at
tacks, notably in the Vosges noun
tains and in the region of Lassigny,
bombardments alone have been in
progress.
In fights in the air the French claim
that their aviators have brought down
four Fokkers and four other German
aeroplanes, while Berlin says that in
fight over Verdun French ma.

FAIL TO AGREE At
FIRST CONFERENCE
WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS IN
PURSUIT OF VILLA.
Representatives Of Mexican Govern
ment Told That if Evacuation 10
Insisted Upon the Conference
Would Go Into Deadlock.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Two conflicting
propositions developed Immediately
after the beginning in the Mexican
customs house in Juarez late Satur
day of the conference to decide the
future disposition of the American ex-
peditionary forces in Mexico.
They are understood temporarily to
have increased the gravity of the ne
gotiations.
The initial meeting was held behind
closed doors in the big green-tinte
room which Francisco Villa used as his
council chamber when he dominated
northern Mexico and Juarez was his
headquarters. Generals Hugh l.. Scott
and Frederick Funston represented
the United States. The Mexican con-
ferees were General Alvaro Obregon.
Mexican minister of war, and General
Jacinto Trevino, military commander
of the northeast district of Mexico.
The progress of the negotiations was
not divulged, but from an authorita-
tive source two things were learned.
First, that the Mexican representa-
tives reiterated the wish expressed in
General Carranza's recent note to the
Washington government that the
American troops should be withdrawn
from Mexican soil at an early date.
Second, that they were informed by
the American officials that the latter
were not empowered to discuss the
withdrawal of General Pershing's col
umns.
1t is understood the American repre-
sentatives told the Mexican conferees
that if the de facto government in
sisted on an American evacuation the
conference would go into a deadlock
and the whole matter would revert to
a diplomatic discussion between Wash
ington and Mexico City.
The Mexicans further were informed
that the purpose of the present con
ference, so far as the United States
is concerned, is the development of a
specific plan for the cooperation of the
American and de facto armies in wip-
ing out the bandit groups that have
spilled so much blood along the border
and have repeatedly taken American
life in the interior of Mexico.
1t is understood that General Obre.
gon, the Mexican minister of war, prior
to the conference, openly expressed a
disinclination to discuss any other sub
ject than withdrawal and that he car
ried this attitude into the initial meet
ing
