RUSSIANS CLAIM DEFEAT
OF GERMANS IN EAST

Except for the artillery wings Of
the contending armies there has been
no fighting at any point on the long
front in France and Belgium.
Several days now have elapsed since
the Germans launched heavy attack
on the positions in dispute before
Yerdun, but their artillery has con-
tinued vigorously to shell the LeMort
Homme sector northwest Of Ferduo
and the second line positions Of the
French to the east Of the Meuse.
In the Argonne the French continue
to operate with their guns against Ger
man points Of vantage and in the re-
gion Of Pont-a-MoUsson they have
shelled conveys Of Germans.
On the Russian front the Germans
essayed attacks between Lakes Sven
ten and Nzen, but were repulsed with
heavy casualties. IN Galicia, south
east of Boutchache, the Germans also
took the offensive, but here again were
repulsed. The Russians claim the cap

HUNT. FOR VILLA

PENDING. OUTCOME OF DlPLO
MATlc RELATIONS WITH CAR
. RAMA GOVERNMENT
A
NO new ORDERS ARE ISSUED
carran-a Military Forces Must Prove
Their Ability to Stop Srieandase
on the Border States.

Washington.-The United States is
prepared to treat with General Car
rama as proposed in his note for the
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico. Pending the outcome OF the
diplomatic negotiations, however, the
status of the expedition will remain
unchanged and the pursuit Of Villa
continue.
This was the situation officially
stated after President Wilson and his
Cabinet had considered the new
phases of the Mexican problem rails
ed by General Carranza's communica'
ton. Secretary Lansing said he was
prepared to take up the matter with
the de facto government but would
not indicate when reply might be
sent. Secretary Baker said no new
orders had been sent to General Funs
ton and that none were under con,
temptation.
Both Secretaries said there had
been no change in the policy Of the
administration which prompted the
pursuit of Villa.
Secretary Lansing would not say
whether he was prepared to negotiate
with the de facto government for the
possible fixing Of date for with.
drawal Of American troops. He indi'
Gated that the time element of any
agreement would be based on what
developed in the pursuit Of the band.
lt.;. AS the Administrations attitude
is understood here, satisfactory de-
monstration by the Carranza military
forces of their ability to stop all brig
andage in the border states would see
the object of the American expedition
accomplished.
Senator Stone, chairman Of the For
eign Relations Committee, is thought
to have voiced the Administration
view to the senate, speaking after a
conference with Secretary Lansing.
THE problem confronting this gov
eminent" the Senator said, "is how
long it would be wise to keep an ex:
peditionary force in Mexico. If we
adhere to our policy towards Mexico.
we cannot keep the army there. Tc
my mind the only alternative to with
drawing the troops sooner or later is
