Washington, July 7--Inception of the diplomatic conversations which it is hoped will result in a settlement of differences between the United States and the de facto government of Mexico awaited tonight a suggestion from General Carranza as to how they should proceed. State department off ciaIs believe more can be accomplished through informal conferences between EEseO ArredondO, Mexican am.bassa- designate, and Frank L. Polk, act ing secretary of state, than by a. more formal interchange of views. They are willing to accede however, to some other plan should the de factO gov ernment propose it.
 Friendly Note Sent to Mexico.
 MT. Arredondo transmitted to his government today a brief and friendly note handed to him by Secretary Lan- sing expressing qualification over the turn affairs between the two govern mentS have taken and accepting pro- posals for diplomatic settlement of points in dispute. The communication was approved by the cabinet before it was sent to the Mexican embassy.
 Officials noted that Secretary Lam sing laid stress on the desirability of giving quick and practical cOnsidera- tion to the immediate conditions along the border which have been a source of controversy.
 Evidence of Carranza's Friendly Atti-
 tude.
 Additional evidence of the more friendly attitude of the Carranza gov ernment came todaX-jn the~fQrm of a warning Communicated by MT. Are dondo to the state department, at the direction of General Carranza, in con- nectiOn with the battle between Villa and Carranza forces at Corralitos The message admitted a serious defeat for the Carranza troops and asked that the American forces be cautioned to exercise unusual vigilance along the border, particularly in the Big Bend region in Texas, as there was reason to believe the bandits were headed that way to precipitate a new border incl dent. The message was promptly for

The British have resumed their sledgehammer blows against the Ger man lines in the Somme sector and after a day of terrific fighting have carried the German trenches at three points along the front. Latest reports from British headquarters say that fierce fighting continues.
 The British gains, while not result ing in any substantial advance, are characterized by the British war of flee as important from a tactical view point. Their greatest success was east of La Boisseile, where they captured German trenches in extent of nearly 2000 yards and to a depth of 800 yards This gain is in addition to 1000 yards taken by assault Thursday night.
 The bitterest fighting of the day oc- cured on the center of the line of at tack, about the two villages of Ovillers and Contamination. A British brigade forced its way into OvilIers and en- gagged in @ desperate struggle for pos session of the village.
 At Contamination 8 division of the Prussian guards was hurled into the fight to check the British advance af- ter the village had been carried by as sault. Contamination was recaptUred, but TOO prisoners were left in the hands of the British.
 On the French end of the Somme sector there vas a lulI in the fighting The French official report does not even mention the usual artillery duels

der commands. Under the new plan the recruits will be trained by the reg uIar army officers stationed at the posts.
 Army Posts Designated.
 Thearmy posts designated for New England and New Pork are:
 Maine-A fore in Portland harbor, still to be designated.
 New Hampshire-FOrt Constitution Portsmouth.
 Vermont-Fort Ethan Allen.
 Massachusetts-A fort in Boston harbOr, still to be designated.
 Rhode Island-A fort in Narragan- sett bay still to be designated.
 Connecticut-FOrt H. c. Wright, Fishers Island.
 New YOrk-Infantry recruits at Fort Hamilton; recruits for all other branches of the service at Fort Tot ten.
 Massachusetts Choice First.
 The plan may be put into actual op- eration in massachusetts,, where the 2,060 recruits remaining in the state camp have been ordered to leave Mon day to join their commands on the Mexican frontier. An order was is sued today requiring all recruits in New York state armortes to move to Camp Whitman, where they will re- main until the last organized unit leaves, after which they will be trans ferred to the army posts.
 General Wood said tonight depend- ents of national guardsmen have flood ed him with letters and teIegrams re- questing him to discharge guardsmen as a result of the recent war depart ment order. He said he wished it emphasized that soldiers with depend ents cannot be discharged by the commanding officer of the department until the request is first made by the soldier, with cOrrobOrating evidence.

every known sanitary precaution could the epidemic be kept within bounds.
 Dr. Emerson declared that one of the steps he had decided upon was the prosecution of physicians who have failed to report cases of the disease they have attended.
 Mothers lnterne Children.
 Another serious phase of the situa- ton was reported today by the asso- citation for improving the condition of the poor, which has found that in the congested districts of the city fright ened mothers have interned their Chil- dren in their tenement houses in many instances with the windows closed. Such action, it was pointed out, is sure to have serious effects, not only on the children, but on adults as we'll

which fill the intervals between in- fantry assaults.
 The violence of the British offensive failed, however, to divert the attention of the Germans from their desperate efforts to capture Verdun. Assault af- ter assault wac delivered against the French lines in the sOrely battered ThiaumOnt region, but, according to Paris, all were in vain.
 Surpassing even in importance the allies great drive on the western front, the news from the eastern battlefield ed their fOensive on an unprecedented scale. On the whole front from Riga to BaranOviChi, a distance of about 300 miles, the Russians are being hurled against the German lines. Farther south, General Kaledines is driving steadily forward toward KOvel and has captured two villages and a, railroad station on the SaIny- -Kovel road. NIili- tary critics of the allies assert that unless the Germans can halt the Rus sian advance in the immediate future, they will have to withdraw their lines along the entire eastern front and probably abandon Lemberg.
 The German official report of Friday admits the abandoning of a salient to the General haledines, but both Ger man and Russian official statements fail to give Q. clear idea of the exact situation in the east.
 The Italians claim continued progress for their offensive in the Trentino dis triCt, but there has apparently been no great change in this field of the war

warded to General Funston as a mat ter of information.
 Villa Recovers from Wounds.
 At the same time the state depart ment received a report from an Amer ican in Mexico that he had seen and talked with Villa personally near Cor ralitOS a few days before the fight re- ported in the Carranza message. The bandit leader was said to have entirely recovered from wounds received at Columbus, except that he used a cane and walked with a slight limp.
 This message, the source of which was not revealed, added that Villa had been continuously in the CorTalitas re- zion since the American pursuit was halted by the clash at Parral, the first outbreak of hostility against General Pershing's expedition by Carranza sol diers. COrralitOs is a short distance southeast of Parral.
 Carranza's Message of Warning.
 If Villa is alive and has recovered sufficiently to lead a new force toward the border, considerable detachments of CarranZa troops are between his present position and the most advanced American patrols. General Carranza's message of warning gave assurances that every effort would be made by these forces to capture or destroy the band.
 Indication of Cooperation.
 Officials were pleased at the indica- ton that General Carranza was dis posed to seek cooperation in protect ing the border. They saw in the warning, however, @ frank admission that bandits still are active in con siderable force in the territory over which the de facto government re- peatedIy has claimed complete mili tary control.
 MT. Arredordo reiterated tonight his belief that Villa is dead. The de facto government has received no definite news of Villa for more than three months, he said.
 The state department received in formation today that many Americans who hastened to the border or the sea- coast when the crisis seemed grave all ready are returning to the interior of Mexico.

"WAR VULTURES"
 ARE TO BE FEARED David Starr Jordan of Leland Stan ford University So Asserts.

New York, July 7-The danger of war with Mexico is not half so great as the danger American peace and prosperity has to fear from war vul- tures", said David Starr Jordan, chan cellOr emeritus of Leland Stanford University in an address today before several hundred delegates to the an- nual meeting of the American School Peace League, held in connection with the National Education Associations annual convention.
 This graver peril" said Dr. Jor- dan, ''is brought about by those who would like to force the United States into war. War has for one of its leading causes exploitation. It back fires always on true democracy. We must educate our people against the dangers that threaten from war vul- tureS.'"
 pr. Jordan declared, Tt would be the crime of all ages" for the United States to intervene in Mexico. He attacked the war prOpagandiStS" and insisted that the most recent trouble from border raids was instigated sole ly by ''tOOlS' of American and Eng fish capitalists, engaged in a "nefari- ous and despicable plot to embroil the two countries"
 Dr. Jordan made the direct charge that the plans for the Columbus, N. M, raid and other raids were known in Fl Paso, Texas and Douglas, Ariz., two days before their actual occur renee and had it not been for the propagandists being partly successful in their murderous work, New York state troops would not now be suffer ing on the sunbaked plains of Texas"
 Mexico has within herself the pow CT of regeneration" continued Dr. Jordan. He termed Villa a wild, un- tanned Indian, the prize tool of the American war vuItures." Carranza, he said, if left alone in the present crisis gives every promise of becom- ing the savior of his people"
