Fighting in France

London April 14..-Evidence that heavy fighting has been gong on along the British front in France Is shown by the casualty lists of the last two days.

The actions, says a "one is continually learn ing from talks with men on leave, have been described in curt, two-line re- ports-r s,, s.A4ls@ {.

OFFICERS AGREE
 SITUATION IS SERIOUS

In all official quarters here there is evidence of the gravity of the situation. All officials agree that the accumulation of evidence has brought the situation be- tween the two countries to the point of a break or decided change on Germany S part. There is very little left to be said about the situation because it is described as plain open and shut one.
 As the President and the cabinet are determined that the present condition cannot continue. the crisis, which has pre- vailed between the two nations for nearly year has reached point where nothing but action remains for one or the other.

It was pointed out that in previous in- stances soldiers had entered towns to buy supplies, and in view of the friendly manner in which they had been received, it was considered probable that they went into Parral unarmed
 General Funston continued his efforts to get official report from General Pershing of the occurrence, but late to- day no word from him or any other of- ficer in the punitive expedition had been received. The last heard from General Pershing was that he was moving south from Satevo, and it is presumed that the commanding officer of the detachment that got into trouble at Parral had sent his report back in the usual manners first to his colonel, who then would trans- init it to General Pershng, who in turn

AS 1t is understood that the new com7 munication to Germany mentions nothing in the way of time, it is believed that the President has not decided to narrow the cs,sa doN1n to q settec of d.svss i,u, thc position of the United States Will be none the less unaIterable on that account.

The decision to inform Germany of ships destroyed in submarine war fsfe leads U tir inevitable eoneIlIs- ion that her promises to the United States are not being fulfilled remained unchanged. The time of dispatching communication to Berlin appeared to be the only point undecided.
 In Congress today report was widely circulated that the forthcoming note would in itself give notice of a severance of diplomatic relations. There was noth- ing to substantiate the story anywhere in official quarters. Cabinet officers did not deny it, upon the ground that they all had been bound in honor by the Presi dent not to speak upon the subject in any way. There were repeated indications tonight that the note. would be state ment of the American case up to date, without anything in the nature of an
 
 open for Germany to avoid the long feared break in diplomatic relations. It was plain, however, that it would be intended as the American governments last word
 Senators of the foreign relations com mittee who have been told by the Presi- toI fore any final or drastic steps were taken, declared tonight they had not yet been advised of the details of the next step Chairman Stone conferred with Secretary Lansing during the day; but declared there was nothing new in the situation. RENEWED EVIDENCE
 OF CASES COMPLETENESS
 At the state department therel was renewed evidence that the United States considers its case complete. even without the affidavits which arrived today on the steamer St. Paul. Secretary Lansing acknowledged that evidence, gathered by the French government from captured German submarine crew, to prove the identity of the submarine which sunk the Sussex, had been placed in possession of the American government. Such evidence. properly substantiated, was regarded as the capstone of the American case. Mir. Lansings only comment on the evidence was that it would be examined. The impression which officials permit ted to prevail was that the communities tion to Germany would not go forward until all the evidence had been carefully considered, but that enough was at hand to make up the American case. Some of ficials declared it would go within 4S hours Others who have to do with it's preparation were less definite. It was re called that on at least one other occasion, a note to Germany was quietly dispatched and had reached Berlin before news of it's departure was permitted to come out in Washington.
