Information is at hand will be to de-

who went to Carrizal were deliberately
led into a trap. The main question re-

ordered the attack or it was the work
of subordinate officer.
In the latter event, unqualified repu-
diation of his act will be demanded. it
IL indicated. Gen. Gomez, CarranZa
commander at CarriZal. was killed in
action. according to Mexican reports.
The stipulation that the officer respons-
ible be adequately punished unques-

for reputation, but if the Carranza
commander gave orders to open fire he
has already paid the penalty for his
act
To Inquire About Captive Troopers.
The State Department will at once
make inquiry about the troopers held

Carranza why these men are held as
prisoners-what crime against Mexico
they have committed to cause them to
be held by that government, it is
learned in high sources today. In ef-

the men will be released at once unless

AMSTERDAM. June 24.-German
newspapers commenting on the Paris
economic conference declare that the
resolutions of the conference are of no
Importance because all the matters
dealt with will be adjusted in the peace
negotiations. The Frankfurter Zei-

for expansion which it had previously.

of American cavalry were virtually
wiped out. He explained. in answer
to questions. that apparently the only
men who have returned to the base of
Gen. Pershing were those far back
from the scene of the actual fighting
and not fully acquainted with precisely
what happened. The secretary pinned
much faith on soon getting news from
the two squadrons of cavalry sent to
the relief of the few men left of the
colored troopers.
Pressed closely about the fmprison-
ment in chihuahua of twenty-four men
who were in the CarriZa1 fight, Secre-
tary Baker said that the only official in
formation that has come to the gov
ernment on this subject was from
Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican delegate
had not received word through any
of it's officers concerning the taking Of
these men as prisoners. No Mexican
army officers had informed American
army officers that prisoners are in their
possession. Indirectly the intimation
from the Secretary Of War was that the
State Department would handle this
part of the question for the minute.
Secretary Lansing Silent.
Secretary Lansing, on leaving tho
White House, told the inquiring news
paper men that he could not say a
word. He consistently held to that
purpose despite many questions asked
him. He went directly to the State De-
partment, where he called in his ste
nographer and began dictation OF an
important message. believed to be in
tended Immediately and directly for
Carranza.
The obvious outcome of the morning
conference. despite the lack of official
admission. is believed to have been
the determination of the President to
hold tight pending the receipt of fuller
and more enlightening Information.
Every effort. however. is to be made
to obtain that information as quickly
as possible. because the administration
recognizes that popular opinion
throughout this country is becoming
thoroughly aroused and viii not be

VIOLENT CONFLICT
RACES At VERDUN
In AII-Night Fighting French
Regain Much Ground Lost
to Germans.

PARIS, June 24.-The battle
of Verdun continued last night
with the utmost violence on both
sides of the Meuse. The war Of
fee announced today that the
French have regained large part
of the ground lost northeast Of
Verdun near hills $50 and 32I.
Undertaking a vigorous often
sive, the French drove back the
Germans over the ground which
they won yesterday. The battle
was particularly violent in the
vicinity of Fleury. The French
did not succeed in regaining pos
session of Thiaumont work. More
than six German divisions par
ticipated in the offensive actions
east of the Meuse yesterday.
Fighting Is FURIOUS.
Late details show that yesterdays
fighting equaled in fury anything
yet experienced. It was only by the
last overwhelming rush. when the de-
tenders were worn out and thinned
by many hours of bombardment. that
tho Germans succeeded in rushing the
Thiaumont work and the adjacent ad-
vanced trenches.
The Thiaumont fortification covers the
approaches to Fleury, and the enemy
hoped to continue the charge and
sweep away the defenders of the lat
ter place, but the French counter at
tackled with such vigor that 1t was
able only to cling to the positions of
the first gained, when he was busily
engaged in strengthening all night in
preparation for fresh attempts to push
his advantage.
Great Losses Reported.

freely admit that the Germans scored
a success. but point out that this sue
cess cost more than 1t was worth. the
enemy's losses being placed at from
40 to so per cent of the electives en-
