Washington, July r. - President

to the ruling monarchs of the bellig-

The president told the delegation:

CARRANZA'S SOLDIERS
DESERT TO Join VILLA
Authorities Beginning to Be-
ieve Villa Himself Is In
Command

Ell Paso, Texas, July 12. "A battle,
still raging at last reports, opened at
Sombrerto, Durango, today with an at
tack on Carranza troops under General
Ernesto Garcia on Villista column led
by General Contreras and Palizo.
This official news from General Tre-
vino at Chihuahua City was followed by
unconfirmed rumors that General
Ignacio Enriquez sent by War Minister
Obregon to replace Trevino in command
of the de facto army of the north, had
been captured by Villistas.
Authorities are gradually being won
over to the belief that Villa personally
is directing the renewed activities Of
the bandits.
From Rosario the Villistas were driv.
en- southwark toward the Durango line.
A de facto government scouting patrol
from Parral engaged the bandits in the
vicinity of Ell Vale and drove them
into the hills.
DR.. Luis l.. C. Chavaria, the Mexican
surgeon who attended wounded Ameri.
can troopers at Villa Ahumada, follow

followed up their victory over the Viii.
listas in yesterdays fighting by pursu-
ing and overtaking the bandits at Som
brcreto, Trevino announced. General
Garcia requested reinforcements, hoping
to annihilate the Villistas and Tire
vino ordered Generals Domingo Arrieta
and Matias Ramos to go to Garcia 3
assistance. The bandits are making q
desperate stand.
The report that Trevino was to be
displaced and transferred to Monterey
is significant in the light of rumors
current for some time that the Mexico
City government feared he planned to
use his hold on the troops in Chihuahua
against the de facto leaders. All Tre-
vino's appointees are to be transferred
also. Enriquez is several days over
due at Chihuahua City. His train is
reported to have been captured by
bandits near Diaz Station, Chihuahua.
General Trevino declared he had no Of
ficial information Of Enriquez since the
new commander left Mexico City.
Reputation of its own currency was
authorized by the Mexico City govern
ment in orders received at Juarez today
to accept only American gold or Car
rama silver in payment of duties.
Owing to difficulty in moving motor
trains from Columbus, due to the heavy
rains. General Bell has arranged to
ship trainload of forage daily over
the Mexican Northwestern from Juarez
to General Pershing's base in Mexico.
In retprn for this privilege from the
Carranza government, the American Gus
toms officials in FL Paso are permitting
shipment of foodstuffs and clothing to
enter Mexico for the first time in three
weeks.

Paris, July 12.-The allies great
steam roller is moving eastward
through the German lines exactly on
schedule time.
The lull in the fighting ON the SOM
me front, reported in today's official
statement, was marked down in ad.
vance on the time table of the allied
offensive. Just as any other steam
roller must pause to take on coal and
for levelling of the road ahead, the
Anglo-F'rench steam roller is halting
and preparing for the next infantry
rush. The highest French military au-
thorities, returning from the front, de-
clared today that the offensive is pro-
eeeding with all the mathematical ex-
actness with which it was originally
planned.
They admitted frankly that the al.
lies copied from the German attack
at Verdun their present tactics of
smashing the way through German de-
fenses purely with heavy artillery and
French mortars. Tney declare, how
ever, that whereas the Germans at Yer
dun were unable to keep up their max
imum, progress after the first on
slaught, the allies have continued to
progress according to schedule.
Since the beginning of the offensive
the allies heavy artillery has com
pletely pierced the German lines at
several points, rendering possible in
fantry thrusts for as great distance
as fifteen kilometers (eight and one
half miles) had the allies been willing
to sacrifice the men such an operation
would have entailed Instead the al
lied commanders have consistently re-
fused to advance their men until they
have brought up heavy artillery and
cleared the path.
