Russians Gain In stxr.

Petrograd.- Following up their ad-
vance in the region of the Lower Styr,
the Russians have occupied two vii
lagos and a railway station.
The War Office announcement says
that the villages of Komrow and
Grady and the railway station Of
MoneVitchi are now in Russian hands.
These three points are in the region
to the west of Czartorysk, where there
has been violent fighting for several
days, the Germans having thrown in
heavy reinforcements to check the
Russian advance toward the important
strategic position of Kovel The
Manevitchi station is IA miles west Of
Czartorysk, on the railway line be-
tween Sarny and Kovel Komarow
and Grady are southwest of Car
torysk. The official communication
says:
"The battles west of the lower Styr
are continuing with much success for
US. In the Galusia-Optovo-Voltcetzk
region we have taken possession of
fortified Austrian and German posi-.
tions. The enemy took fight under
the fire Of our artillery.

Army group of General Won Linsin-
gen. A corner of our lines protrud-
ing toward Czartorysk has been aban-
doned on account Of superior pressure
on its sides near Kostiukova and west

j. s. WARNED THAT
VILLA PLANS RAID
ArredOndO Says Bandit is Head
ing For Border.
WORD SENT TO GEN. FUNSTON
Chihuahua Paper Reports That Villa
In Person Led Force Into JIminez
After Recent Victory and
Sacked Town.

Washington. = Acting Secretary
Polk, Of the State Department, and
Eliseo A1Tendondo, Mexican Ambassa-
dor designate, conferred briefly, but
in the absence of formal instructions
to the Ambassador from General Car
rama no definite steps were taken to-
ward beginning the proposed negotia-
tions for settlement of differences be-
tween the two Governments.
The conference was an informal talk
and followed the Ambassadors visit
to the department with further adV1ces
from his Government regarding the
operations of Villa bands near Cor
ralitos, Mexico The de facto authori-
ties, Mr. Arredondo said, had secured
moro definite information to the effect
that the bandits were headed toward
BoQuillas or some point in the Big
Bend district on the Texas border. The
Ambassador renewed the warning pre-
viously given American military au-
thorities and gave assurance that Car
ranEa troops would make every effort
to check the attempted raid.
Word Sent General Funston.
The substance Of the message was
forwarded to General Funston. 1t con-
tanned no estimate of the bandit forces
and made no mention of Villa himself.
The Ambassador also assured Mr..
Polk that the searching Of Mexican
sailing vessel near Guaymas by off,
GERS from an American gunboat had
been satisfactorily explained.
Mr.. Arredondo momentarily is ex-
pecting the word from his Govern
ment which will make it possible to
begin the diplomatic negotiations now
agreed to by both sides. The State
Department had no intimation as to
the form which would be followed,
though the delay was taken to mean
that formal joint conference might
be proposed rather than a series of in
formal talks between Mr.. Polk and Mr..
Arredondo, the procedure favored here
as making for quick action.
Published reports that National
Guardsmen modified for border duty
were not being properly fed were de-
MED in War Department statement
Although no official complaint to
this effect has been received" it said,
"the War Department has investigated
these alleged instances and can report
them absolutely unfounded Every
where the troops are being excellently
cared for and the men themselves
have no complaint to make. Such
rumors unjustifably alarm the parents
and relatives of the militiamen and
act as a deterrent upon recruiting"

REPLY TO MEXICAN NOTE
Accepts Proposals For Diplomatic
Settlement OF Points In
Dispute.

Washington.-The note, which
is addressed to Ambassador Des-
ignate Arredondo, follows:
"Sir i have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your
communication of July 4, 1916, in
which you transcribe a note ad-
dressed to me by the Secretary of
Foreign Relations of your govern
ment, and to request that you will
transmit to him the following
reply:
Mr.. Secretary-I have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt
Of your courteous note transmitted
to me by Senor Arredondo on the
4th instant, in which you refer to
my notes of June 20 and June Is,
and to assure you of the sincere
qualification of my government
at the frank statement of the diff
culties which have unfortunately
arisen in our relations along the
international boundary, and the
unreserved expression Of the de-
sire Of your government to reach
an adjustment of these difficulties
on a broad and amicable basis.
The same spirit of friendship and
of solicitude for the continuance
of cordial relations between our
two countries inspires my govern
ment, which equally desires an
immediate solution Of the matters
of difference which have long
vexed both governments.
1T is especially pleasing to my
government that the de facto gov
ernment of Mexico is disposed to
give quick, as well as practical,
consideration in a spirit of con-
cord to the remedies which may
be applied to the existing condi-
tions Reciprocating the same de-
sire, the government of the United
States is prepared Immediately to
exchange views as to a practical
plan to remove finally and prevent
a recurrence aof the difficulties
which have been the source of
controversy.
"'Accept, Mr.. Secretary, the re-
newed assurances of my highest
consideration.
Il am, sir, yours very sincerely,
