GERMANS TAKE
FRENCH TRENCHES
Berlin Claims Capture of Two
Miles of Positions.
FOE CLEARED FROM cUMIERES
Paris Says That Troops Seized Heavily
Fortified Stronghold From Teu-
tons at Dead Mans
Hill

London, June 1.AWhile admitting a
serious reverse in the fighting between
Dead Man hill and Cumieres, where
the Germans claimed the capture of
nearly two miles of French trenches,
the Paris war office declares that the
French troops have rallied and cap
tured heavily fortified German posi-.
ton on the southwest slope of Dead
Man hill
The midnight communique from
Paris, claiming the capture of 245 pris-
oners in the Mort Homme fighting, is
much more optimistic than any issued
by the French for several days. but
even this improved tone has failed to
lift the cloud caused by the German
advances west of the river
CumIeres is Cleared.
Berlin claims the defeat of the last
of the French forces which were hold
ing the edge of the village of Cumieres
and announces victory in the Lau-
rettes wood, with the capture of 100
more prisoners and valuable booty.
The afternoon report from Paris con-
firms not only these statements, but in
directly substantiates the Berlin an.
nouncement of sweeping gains all the
way from Dead Man hill to the Meuse.
Austrians Aiding, Belief.
There are widespread rumors that
a large Austrian force is en- route to
the western front, either to take over
a portion of the German line or to
participate directly in the fighting at
Verdun,
From Swiss sources came the report
tat the age4 emperor. Franz Josef,
asked that Austrian troops be allowed
to share in the grand assault on the
French fortress. In some quarters it
is believed the Austrian offensive
against the Italians was delivered to
conceal the shifting of large Austrian
forces to the western front.
Before the end of the week it is
believed here the crown prince will
be hammering against the French
lines with a force of nearly one mil
lion men.
French Are Confident.
Faced with these reports, the French
public remains utterly calm. The off,
cial communications are being scanned
with an interest unequaled since the
Germans struck the first blow against
the fortress. But there is not the
slightest doubt that General Nivelle,
if forced to retire upon the northwest
ern forts of Verdun, will maintain his
position there with the same tenacity
that brought the Germans to a halt
on the northern and northeastern sec
tors of Verdun.

CARRANzA AGAIN !;
ASKS U. S. TO ACT
New Note Demands Withdrawal
of American Troops.
EXPLANATION is REQUESTED
Washington Government Declared to
Be Pursuing Hostile Policy While
Avowing Sincere Friendship
for Mexico.

Washington, June demands that
the United States withdraw its troops
and intimations that the American
government is not acting in good
faith are contained in a 12,00O-word
note from General Carranza, deliv.
cred to the state department by Eliseo
Arredondo, Mexican ambassador de
signate.
An explanation of the actions OF
the Wilson administration is re-
quested.
Munitions Held Up.
Added to this is a well-defined sus-
picion in the mind of Carranza and
his advisers that the American gov
eminent, while making protestations
of good will and friendliness, is pre-
pairing for any emergency in Mexico.
and to prove this contention Carranza
cites the practical embargo on arms
and ammunition, he raving received
no shipments for weeks. It also is
declared that machinery which was
ordered weeks ago for CarranZa ar
senals is held up by order of Wash
ington.
The note reviews at length all ne
gotiations between the two nations
since the raid of Columbus. The
promise of the United States that no
more troops would be sent into Mex
eco but those under Pershing is re-
called and in the next paragraph is
detailed the trip of the second punt
tive expedition under Colonel Sibley.
This is limited as an evidence of bad
faith ON the part Of the United
States.
U. S. Violates Treaties.
The Mexicans declare that all
troops on Mexican soil today are
there in violation of treaties and
agreements, and the request is made
that they be withdrawn Immediately:
that both governments maintain a
patrol on their own sides of the lines;
that no more American troops be
taken into Mexico, and that those now
in that country abandon the works
they have erected since Pershing
went across the line.
THE Mexican government there
fore invites the United States &c
bring to an end this unsupportable
situation" the note concludes, land
TO support its protestations and dec
larations of friendship by an immedi
ate withdrawal of American troops
State department officials regard
the note not as an ultimatum, but
as continuance of the negotiations
with the Carranza government.
