French Claim Advantage in
Actions in Neighborhood

ITALIANS REPORT
LOCAL SUCCESSES
Say They Have Occupied Posi-
tions of Importance in Cam
paigns Against Trent-Rus-
slams Continue Advance Agaist
the Turks in Caucasus Region.

Little heavy lighting is in progress
in any of the various war theatres.
The French, in the Meuse hills, to the
east of Verdun, in surprise attack
have cleared the Germans from
trenches over front of about 200
yards and also have put down in
Champagne several German attacks.
Bombardments alone are taking pla ce
around verdun.
Along the British line in France,
bombardments and sapping opera
tions are being carried on. East Of
Loos the Germans succeeded in gain
ing footing in British trenches, but
were able to hold them only few
minutes under counterattack.
The Italians IL the Monte Adamel-
10 zone have succeeded in occupying
positions IN the sector between Croz-
zon di Fargorida and Crozzon di La
res, which are of great strategic value
In their movement against Trent. The
Italians also have made further prog
ress against the. Austrians on Mount
Sheron.
: Austrian attacks to the north Of
Lenzumo were yrepulsed by the Ital-
ians. Elsewhere along this front
there have been only artillery en-
gagements.
Artillery duels are reported from
the Russian front.
In the Caucasus region the Rus
SLAMS are continuing their advance
against the Turks, according to Pet
rograd. In the operations towards
Mosul, having Bagdad as it's objective
the Turks are declared to have re-
treated precipitately.
The differences between Greece and
the entente powers have ben AMIGA
bly, settled, according to an announce
ment of the British foreign office.
This announcement possibly means
that Greece has acquiesced In the
request OF the entente allies for per-
mission for Servian troops to cross
Greece to Saloniki from the island OF
Corfu.
The preliminary examination OF
Sir Roger Easement, who was arrest
ed In Ireland after landing from a
German submarine just previous to
the inception OF the recent rebellion,
was begun to-day in London. Daniel
J. Bailey, an Irish soldier, who had
been captured In France by the Ger
mans and was one of the men who
landed with Sir Roger from the sub
marine. was arraigned with him.
Herbert H. Asquith. the British
premier, is continuing his conferences
I'm Ireland over the situation and has
now gone to Belfast to consult with
leading men in the northern part OF
the Island.

BOTH SIDES WAIT
DETAILED REPORTS
United States State Department

Alike Mark Time-No Change
in Mexican Situation Apparent
as Yet.

Washington, May 15.-Both the
state department and Gen. Carranza
are awaiting detailed reports of the
recent Ell Paso military conference
before seeking an agreement as to
the Mexican border situation through
diplomatic conversations.
Gen. Scott, chief of staff of the
army, returned here to-day optimis-
tic over the military situation and
confident that the meetings between
himself and Gen. Funston and Gen.
Obregon, Carranza's war minister,
had created a better understanding
which might furnish the basis for a
formal protocol. The chief of staff
was in need of rest, however, and
did not see Secretary Lansing. He
reported briefly to Secretary Baker.
He probably will report fully to-mor-
row.

was In need or rest, however, and
did not see Secretary Lansing. He
reported briefly to Secretary Baker.
He probably will report fully to-mor-
row.
Asks New Instructions
Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican am
bassador designate. asked for instruc-
tions last week. Gen Obregon prob
ably will not reach Mexico City foi
several days and the reply from Gen.
Carranza is not expected at the em
bassy until the war minister reports.
War and state department advices
showed no change to-day in the situa-
tion in Mexico or along the border.
While press reports have told of sew
eral minor raids in the last few days
Gen. Funston either had been unable
to confirm these stories or has
thought them too unimportant to
bring to the attention OF the var de-
partment. -m-A --
Administration officials are content
that Funston will be able to prevent
repetitions Of the Glenn Springs raid
unless there Is a general anti-Amert~
can outbreak in which Carranza
troops participate All official advices
at hand indicate that Carranza forces
are being disposed to prevent raids
across the line by irresponsible out
laws ~'' 49, ,l!->i!.-, i--.s-~'~@'
Now Working Together
Gen. Funston's new plan for co-or-
dinating the work Of the border
guards was regarded in some quar-
ters here as tending to confirm init
nations that an unwritten agreement
was reached by the El Paso conferees.
II the plan includes an exchange OF
information as to bandit activities be-
tween resposible officers of the Car
rama troops and the American COM
manders, it was thought here con-
SlueraDle progress could be made
without the troops OF either govern
ment crossing the line.
Mr.. Arredondo issued statement
tonight declaring that the recent re.
turn of Perez Romero to his post as
Mexican ambassador to Tokyo and
the appointment OF Rafael Zubaran
as diplomatic agent to Germany and
her allies, as we'll as to Denmark.
have no significance.
y Mr.. Arredondo said the Southern
Mexican States. little affected by the
revolutions of the last few years, were
making great strides in financial
progress. The governments outstand-
ing valid obligations have been re-
duced 1s per cent.
