Washington, June 22.-The state
ment issued in the City Of Mexico to-
day is accepted very generally by Of
ficial Washington as being Of the ma
ture Of a reply to President Wilson's
note and as constituting a declaration
Of war.
With the opening of hostilities,
there is an effort to close down on
sources Of information, and only in the
general outline can it be stated that
the utmost activity prevails in prep
aration for the struggle which is i'm
mediately at hand.
Throughout the states the militia
is being licked into shape for service
as rapidly as possible, and a portion
Of it already is moving to the front
to relieve regular soldiers now stand
ing guard on the border, that the lat
ter can be rushed to the aid Of the
soldiers in Mexico. ,~f,.ss ~
The skirmish Of yesterday, which
cost number Of American lives,. has
stirred the blood of the whole Amer

ing made freely. NJ 4.
It is known that reports coming in
by way Of Columbus of the condition
in Mexico indicate grave danger for
Pershing's troops, but the government
is taking care not to allow its move
ments in that connection becoming
known. It can be stated, however,
that Pershing will receive strong re-
Inducements at once, and while he
may lose many men it is known that
he will give an accounting for every
man he has. =
It is believed here that the Mexi-
cans ara being driven to quick action
by the impossibility of long maintain
ing a force, because of the shortage
Of feed for man and animals. That
the Mexicans soon will be starved into
submission is the expectation. =
On both waters Mexico is hemmed
in by the American navy, and no
supplies are permitted to enter, though
a formal blockade has not yet been
declared.

Paris, June pa violent attack OF
the French positions northwest OF
Rheims was made by the Germans
last night at Hill No. 1O8, and in the
direction of Berry Au Bac, according
to an official statement issued by the
war office today. The attack was re-
pulsed by the French artillery fire.
The Germans exploded two mines
before launching their infantry against
the French trenches. Their repulse
was due, the statement says, to the
effectiveness of the French screen
fire.
In the Verdun sector no infantry
action was reported, but a mutual bom-
bardment was maintained during the
night. The text of the statement fol-
lows:
"South of the Somme, before Maui
court, a detachment Of the enemy
which attempted to approach our
lines was dispersed with rifle fire.
Northwest of Rheims, the Germans,
after exploding two mines, delivered
an attack against the trenches at Hill
No. 10S, south of Berry au Bac.
Checked by our curtain Of fire, this
attack was defeated completely.
ION both banks of the Meuse (Ver-
dun front) our artillery and that of
the enemy were rather active during

Petrograd, June 22.-Capture by the
Russian armies Of Kolomea, in Ga
licia, and a smashing advance by the
army Of General Keledines toward Via
dimir Volynsk, on the Sokal line, both
Of which were announced by the war
office here today, indicate that gi-
ant scissors motion is rapidly gaining
impetus to wrest Lemberg again from
the Teutons.
No details have yet been given out
as to how Kolomea fell, but it's taking
marks an important advance westward
along the Pruth river and the Stanis-
lau-Stryj railroad toward Lemberg,
and practically isolates all the Austri-
an armies in southern Bukowina from
contact with the Teutonic forces to
the north. The Koloinea force is the
point Of the southern nipper which is
moving to crush Lemperg.
On the north, Kaledines' advance is
equally rapid. Dispatches from the
Russian general today assert his forces
have advanced twelve miles toward
Vladimir Volynsk in forty-eight hours.
This Is taken to indicate that the Aus
trian resistance in that sector is
smashed and that the Teutons are
retiring rapidly, fighting only rear
guard Actions. Sweeping down from
the north, the Kaledines army has be-
come the other point Of the n,ppers
clutching at Lemberg, and, unless its
advance suffers serious check, the
retreat of the Teuton forces on
Przemysl is certain soon to be forced.
Kaledines' immediate objective is the
cutting Of the railroad line and other
means Of communication between Lem
berg and Kovel, and, if possible, to
Join with the Russian army moving
along the railroad toward Brody. His
ability to do this is questionable, for
the Austrians, stiffened by the Ger
man regiments, are putting up hard
fight in the Brody sector.
It is said, however, that the ad-
vances Of the Russians along the
Dniester, toward Halicz, soon must
force a Strengthening Of the Austrian
line, which will mean general re-
treat to the railroad which runs north
and south through Lemberg from Ra-
waruska to the Saryj.
