Gen. Brusati Removed
For Italians Defeat
(By The Sun News Service.)

Rome, May 3I.-It is now
known that Gen. Brusati, COM
mander-in-chief of the Italian
Trentino armies, has been re-
lieved of his command, as a
result of the Austrian often
sive, because, elated by the
rapid Italian advance toward
Rovereto, he neglected to
build solid trenches lest time
be lost in the occupation of
the city.
He, therefore, left the Italian
troops exposed to the Aus
trian artillery, with the inevi-
table result that they were
driven back when the Aus
trian offensive started, unable
to resist as long as had been
expected.

BAD FAITH Is CHARGED
Mexico's Head Says Nation Is
Justified in Taking Steps to
Uphold Sovereignty.
SCOTT AND FUNSTON SCORED
Message to State Department Declares
Pledge Not to Send New Expe-
dihon Was Violated.

Demanding that the United States
consent to an immediate Withdrawal
of its forces from Mexico in the inter
est of continued harmony and good
relationship between the two coun-
tries, and that it make known in cate
gorical fashion its intentions with re-
spect to Mexico, new note from the
Carranza government was presented
to the State Department yesterday by
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican Anbassa-
dor-designate to the United States.
In many respects the communica-
hon is one of the sharpest ever re-
ceived by one government from an
other. Although not an ultimatum in
the strict sense Of the word. it charges
that the continued presence of the
American troops in Mexico cannot be
considered other than unfriendly and
would justify the Mexican government
in taking steps for the protection of
its territory. although it is the pur-
pose of Mexico. if possible, to avoid
war with the United Statea
Bad Faith Is Charged.
Throughout the note accuses the
American government Of bad faith, and
charges the President with permitting
20 exist a state o, affairs that IS grossly
inconsistent with the Iatcer's repeated
Pro;estatons Of good will toward Mexico.
It accuses Gems. Scott a-d Funston
with having pledged their word IN the
conferences on the border With Gen
Ob7egOn that & new expedition would not
be sent in pursuit Of the Glenn Springs
raiders. and with having promised that
the Persh!ag eX7edIuon would be with
drawn.
It discusses the possibility tAa; the
President may be keeping the troops in
Mexico for political reasons. but chaI-
lengee the assumption that such cozsid-
eratio@s ould justify the American gov
ernmont in continuing 20 violate the
sovereignty OF Mexico.
With regard 10 the refusal q the
United States 10 permit any shipments o.
arms 10 the de facto government OF
Mexico, the note remarks on the t7emen-
dOus trade which the United States new
ertheless continues TO enjoy in selling
arms and ammunition to the beIigerents
OF Europe. The only explanation for such
Inconsistency, the note observes, Is the
possibility that the United States. de-
spite its protests Of friendship. IS actu-
ally preparing for war with Mexico
Scores Governments Action.
Remark,ng on the failure Of the United
States properly to aid the Csrranza gov
ernment in its efforts TO restore peace IN
Mexico, the note refers to the long period
during which the State Department gave
friendly encouragement TO the same Villa
who is responsible for the recent bandit
raids across the border.
1t was authoritativeIy stated IN admin
lstration circles last night, following the
reading OF the note by the President that
there would be no change in policy" and
that the troops would remain until such
time as the President was convinced that
their mission had been satisfactorily ac-
complished.
Up TO a late hour the administration
had taken no steps to increase the forces
along the border or in Mexico, although

Germans Driven Back,

In spite OF this rain Of shells, the
French troops emerged from their
shelters when the German infantry sd-
vanced and drove them back at every
point. But the artillery fire had Ievelled
a first-line French trench south Of the
Bois des Caurettes, to the west of
Cumieres, and the French had to abandon
this trench. This was the only net gain
made by the Germans as the result OF the
whole series OF artillery bombardments
and infantry assaults.
South of the village Of Cu1nieres, the
Germans, converging upon the French
lines from west and east OF the village,
forced the French to fall back along the
railway for the time being in the dIrec-
ton Of the Chattancourt station, to the
east OF Chattancourt village, but q
counter-attack recovered the terrain
lost, and at the end Of the action the
French were back in their positions on
the outskirts of the village
