Paris, June 23.-The Germans have
launched a heavy attack in the Cham

on the French trenches in the region
of Mont Tetu were repulsed last night
after severe fighting with grenades
and bayonets, according to an official
statement issued by the war Office to-

There was heavy artillery fire all

In the Champagne district yester-

mans delivered three attacks upon our
trenches along a front of about twelve
hundred yards.

Each one of these attacks VIZ

JAPS REFUSE TO
LEND MEXICO AID
Requests for Arms and Munitions Are
Turned Down by Toxic Govern
ment and Factories.

Toxic, June 23.-"Of course any
claim that the Japanese government
will assist Mexicans with munitions
and arms is out of the question and
absurd" said Baron Ishii, foreign min
lister. to correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press who asked him today for
his views on the Mexican situation
The interview was sought on account
of declarations attributed to Mexicans
that assurances had been received
from Japan that munitions and other
assistance would be given to Mexico
in event of war with the United States.
Gas for private Japanese companies
selling arms to Mexicans,' the foreign
minister continued, Il consider it ex-
tremely improbable. AS you know, all
available rifles and guns are being
furnished to Japan's allies to assist in
bringing the European war to sue
cessful issue. And l fancy, though l
do not know, that munitions not avail
able for our allies may have found
their way to China during the revolu
tionary troubles.
Let me say with all the emphasis
and earnestness at my command" said
the minister, "the Japanese nation sin
cerely hopes that armed conflict be-
tween the United States and Mexico
may be avoided. Japan's interest in
America, north, central and south, be-
ing essentially pacific and commercial,
any event bringing disturbances into
the American market would be felt
keenly in Japan.
This is especially true at a moment
when the whole European trade is viz
tually closed to Japan and the Chinese
market is seriously upset
Baron Ishii expressed surprise and
mystification when the correspondent
referred to General Ramon 1turbe, a
representative of General CarranZa,
who was reported several weeks ago
to be on his way to Japan on secret
mission. The baron declared he never
had heard of General Iturbe or his
projected visit. He explained that he
regarded the Carranza government as
the de facto government OF Mexico and
that the usual relations with General
CarranZa were being maintained
Japan's interests in Mexico, he said,
were in charge of Secretary Ohta, for
merly attached to the Japanese en-
bassy at Washington. He said he had
received no advices from Secretary
Ohta in regard to the present situa-
ton. Colonel Manuel Romero, recent,
ly appointed. minister to Japan by Gen
eral Carranza has reached this coun-
try but has not had an audience with
theemperor and the baron said it was
impossible to state when he would be
received in audience. Any idea that
the Japanese government was inter
ferring in the Mexican situation, he
declared, was as absurd as the idea
that munitions were being supplied.
