in Mexico and that is to support
Loyalty any action taken by the Uni
ted States. hoping in the meantime.
that it Will obtain support from one
Of the Mexican factions which would
facilitate greatly the pacifcation of
the country"
The foregoing paragraph was con-
tanned in an article i'm the Echo de
Paris today commenting upon Amer
Mexican relations Most of the
Paris newspapers had something TO
say on the matter. The Journals
editorial said in part:
"Pres't wilson's first mistake was
to expect gratitude from Carranza
But a bigger mistake was to over
look Mexican hostility 10 the United
states and the impossibility of a
weak policy crushing such feeling.
Mexican arrogance has increased
with every step of hesitation by the
American government In ordinary
times the affair might be settled by
compromise, which would be pre-
ferabIe 10 a difficult war. but the
party platforms call for vigorous
action In Mexico.
"Pres't Wilson cannot accept a
blow in the face from Carranza after
humiliating the kaiser"
The balance of the editorial in the
Echo de Paris says
The Mexican embrogliO, however
unfortunate for us from a CONNER
cial standpoint. won't be disquieting

Department of State Washington.
June 20.
sir: 1 have read your communi-
cation. which was delivered 10 me on
May -. 1916, under instructions of
the chief executive of the de facto
government of Mexico on the sub
ject of the presence of American
troops i'm Mexico territory, and
would be wanting i'm candor if I did
not, before making answer TO the
allegations of fact and the conclu-
sions reached by your government,
express the surprise and regret
which have been caused this govern
ment by the discOurteous tone and
temper Of this last communication
of the de factO government of Mex
leo.
The government of the United
states has viewed with deep con-
Germ and increasing disappointment
the progress of the revolution in
Mexico. Continuous bloodshed and
disorders have marked it's progress
For three years the Mexican repu bic
has been torn with civil strife: the
lives of Americans and other aliens
have been sacrificed: vast properties
developed by American capital ard
enterprise have been destroyed or
rendered nonproductive bandits
have been permitted TO roam at will
through the territory contiguous 70
the United states and TO seize with
out punishment or without effective
attempt at punishment. the property
of Americans, while the lives of cit
liens of the United States who have
ventured 20 remain in Mexican ter
ritory or to return there to protect

PETROGRAD, June 2O.-Russian
attacks against the German and
Austro-H Hungarian forces in Vol
hynia and Galicia are growing in
VlRor and the feeble efforts OF the
q.eutons to stem the Russian advance
with counter assaults are quickly
overwhelmed.
The Russian army OF Gen. Lech-
nitskv which captured Czernowitz,

miles west of the city toward the
Sereth river. The AustrO- HungaT-
ians who evacuated the BukOwinian
capital are preparing to make a
stand on the Sereth.
Another Russian force. which adj
1auced i'm a noTthwesterly direction
along the Pruth, is already within

important Austro-H Hungarian posi-
uon 30 miles northwest of Czerno-
Witz. II is believed that the Austro-
HUNGARIAN works at Kolomea are
already under artillery fire.

In Nolhynia where fresh battles
have developed. the Austro-HuH-
garians were forced from their posi-
ton at Lokatschi. south OF the Luga
r.ver and only I s miles east OF the
important railway base of Vladimir
NolynSki.
Artillery duels OF great intensity
are reported from the northern end
of the line where the Russians are
facing the German armies of Field
Marshal con Hindenburg.
Much of the recent success of the
Russians is attributed 20 the use OF
poisonous gas which is the mos'
powerful known TO warfare. The gas
masks of the Germans and Austro-
Hungarians were totally unable tC
ward of its effects.
