Class in History.

Perhaps one result of GctiTity IL
the North sea will be to teach every.
body how to spell Skager Rack, or
Skagerrak, as the Danes have it, and
also refresh popular knowledge OF
this part of the map. which the Kiel
canal has little blurred. In the old
days the complicated entrance to the
Baltic was a favorite speciality OF
teachers of geography, and every class
had to wrestle with the names anc
twiStings of the Cattegat and the
Skager Rack, not to speak of the
Sound and the Great and Little Belt
which last name was also impressed
upon the class in United States his.
tory by the British warship which bore
it. But though the natural entrance to
the Baltic is still important, at the
present moment, indeed, of immense
Importance, in our time interest has
been diverted Il the straighter anc
simpler way which the canal has
opened; perhaps many present-day
pupils would have difficulty in sketch

control of which great fleets are con
tending.

important successes, among which are
the capture of a further portion of an
immensely strong position known as
the Leipzig redoubt, according to the
official statement issued by the Lon
don War Office.
East of Kaboisselle the British have
captured German trenches on front
of nearly 1000 yards to depth of 500
yards. In the direction of Ovillers the
British have forced their way into the
village after capturing 500 yards of
the German front.
North of Fricourt the British drove
the enemy from two woods and cap
tured three lines of trenches.
Prussian Guards Beaten Off.
An attempt by the Prussian Guards
to stem the advance east of Contalmai-
son was crushed by the British fire
and 700 prisoners of various regiments
were taken. Contamination was storm
ed, but was retaken by the Germans
in a strong counter-attack.

! Russians Gain In styr.

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 Gar
torysk The official communication
says:
1.-THE battles west of the lower Styr
are continuing with much success for
US. In the Optovo-Voltcetzk
region we have taken possession of
fortified Austrian and German posi-
lions. The enemy took fight under
the fire of our artillery.

j. S. TO TREAT
WITH MEXICO
Willing to Adjust Differences By
Negotiations.
MUST FIND A CURE
American Capital To Finance De Facto
Government, First Chief Having
Discovered That He Cannot
y Get Along Without 1t.

Washington.-The de facto govern
ment of Mexico was informally noti-
fed through Eliseo Arredondo, ambas-
sador designate, that the United States
welcomed General Carranza's proposal
to adjust all pending differences be-
tween the two governments by direct
diplomatic negotiation.
Mr.. Arredondo was informed of the
American governments attitude in
conversation with Secretary Lansing
after the latter had conferred with
President Wilson. Later formal note
confirmed the Ambassadors report.
Immediately after the Cabinet meet
ing Secretary Lansing left for
months vacation. Counsellor Polk
will administer the affairs of the State
Department in his absence and meet
Mr. Arredondo in the informal discuss
sions, at which a solution of the Next
can problems will be sought.
1t is evident at the State Depart
ment that officials believe an oppor-
tunity now has been presented out of
which come means of giving the de
facto government material aid in re-
storing order through Mexico. 1t is
known that the pacific nature of the
Mexican note which brought the crisis
between the governments to an end is
construed here as indicating that Gen
eral Carranza, besides being impressed
by American military preparations has
been deeply Influenced by the pressure
and argument brought to bear on him
by friends in the United States, by
European diplomats in Mexico City
and particularly by repres entatives of
many of the Latin-American powers.
The latter have exerted themselves to
the utmost to avert war and to foster
in General Carranza's mind the idea of
Pan-American unity.
May Aid Financially. =,
While the immediate purpose of the
negotiations in which Secretary Ian
sings note is the first step will be the
evolution of some plan for traquilliz-
ing the border regions, the discus
sions may take wider scope. There
is little doubt that Mr.. Arredondo re-
ceived the impression from Secretary
Lansing that if adequate guarantees
as to the security of American and
other foreign interests in Mexico could
be secured the Washington Govern
ment believes it possible that the
financial aid so greatly needed by the
de facto authorities could be found.

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 Jininez
After Recent Victory and
Sacked Town.

Washington. - Acting Secretary
Polk, of the State Department, and
Eliseo Arrendondo, 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-
tons 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 advices
from his Government regarding the
operations of Villa bands near Cor
ties, Mr.. Arredondo said, had secured
more 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
rama 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 a 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' unjustifiably alarm the parents
and relatives of the militiamen and
act as deterrent upon recruiting"

italians Press Offensive.

Rome.-The Italian offensive is be.
ing strongly pressed and in various
sectors further progress has been
made The official account of these
operations from the War Office is as
follows:
Between the Adige and the Astico
there is intense activity on the part of
the artillery. North of the Posina,
the enemy still resists our attacks on
Monte Cimone, while our artillery con-
tinues to make progress along the Rio
FREDDIE and Astico valleys.
ION the Settle Commi plateau we re-
newed the attack, with the support of
our artillery, ON the strongly fortified
line of the enemy"

Peppermint in First Place.

Peppermint candy holds its owl
against all Corners in the saccharint

as much peppermint used as winter
green and about nine times as much
peppermint as black birch.
Peppermint beats spearmint four t.

Settlement Of Points In
Dispute.

Washington.-The note, which
is addressed to Ambassador Des-
ignate Arredondo, follows:
"Sir II have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your
communication of July 4, 1916, in
which you transcribe a note adj
dressed to me by the Secretary of
Foreign Relations of your govern
ment, and to request that you will

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 broad and amicable basis.

immediate solution of the matters
of difference which have long
vexed both governments.
at is especially pleasing to my
government that the de facto gov

cord to the remedies which may
be applied to the existing condi-
lions. 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 of the difficulties
which have been the source of
controversy.
, ACCEPT, Mr.. Secretary, the re-
newed assurances of my highest
consideration.
