Battle; Outlaws Being Driven
Into Trap

few.
General Trevino pointed out that a
number of prominent outlaw leaders
have been killed in the last few weeks

made to eXterminate the leaders, it
being realized that without their COM
manders it will be an easy matter to
subjugate the bandits.
Being Driven Into Trap

the commandments here that the forces
ofIGcneral Domingo Arrieta have left
Jiminez and, cooperating with Gen.
eral Matios Ramos command from
Escalon. are fmaking a drive up the
Rio Florido,, intending to sweep
through to Cerro Gordo. With the CO.
operation of the troops marching
north from Durango City, it was
pointed out, the bandits now operating
between Parral and Rosario will be
trapped.
General TrevIr said that he would
afford every protection to Americans,
especially those interested in the finan-
cial development of Chihuahua. The
guarantees he offered are similar to
those recently extended by General
Gales i'll Sonora.
Local municipal elections, the first
step toward the restoration of full
civil government in this state. have
been set for the third Sunday in
September.

275, 900 Russians Lost

Berlin, Aug. IL (delayed).-The corre-

enormous losses of the Russians during 8
the summer offensive. The correspon-
dent says the Russian censorship pass
ed the statement that as many as T5
trains loaded with wounded were NOV
ed daily on the line to Kien alone.
Basing his estimate partly on the orn-
cial list kept at Kieff. the correspondent
places the Russian killed or wounded
in the summer offensive at 2I5,O00 men.
The Russians" the correspondent
continues, ARE lighting much more
bravely than in 1915. Then the Rus
slams in their trenches often threw up
their arms as a sign of surrender, with
out making resistance worth mention
against the attacking Germans and
Austrians. This is now most rare. The
new troops are brave and we'll disci-
plined. and their officers lead their lines
into the thickest of the fight. Hence
the mortality among officers is very
heavy, including generals"
