TREVlNo TRANSFERRED.
Commander OF Mexican Forces Is
Called To the Capital.

Commander OF Mexican Forces Is
Called To the Capital.
Washington.-Ge Jacinto Trevino,
commander Of the Carranza forces in
Northeastern Mexico, has been ordered
20 Mexico City and will be succeeded,
at least temporarily, by Gen. Luis Her
rera, commander Of the Chihuahua
CITY garrison. Dispatches TO the War
Department from General Bell, report
ing the transfer, contained no explana-
tion as to the cause. Army officers
here were plainly surprised at such an
important change at this time.
General Trevino has personally di-
rected the campaign against bandits in
chihuahua, and it Is said to be largely
because OF his efforts that the Car
rama soldiers have continued their
operations against villa and other out
law leaders on such a broad scale For
that reason some regret over the
transfer was expressed here, though
officials said they we're confident that
General Herrera would use every re-
source at his command to continue
the campaign.
General Bells dispatch pointed ou,
that General Herrera was anxious to
have the mines and other industrial
activities in chihuahua resume opera
tions as soon as possible. It was in
timated that he would make use of his
new command to encourage foreign
development in Mexican industries,
whose operations have been suspended
because the Carranza government
failed to protect them from bandit de-
structIon

FORCES GR|pPED IN
MIGHTY STRUGGLE
100000 French and British
Troops Engage in Attack.
BATTLE FOR FOUREAUX WOOD
Germans Fighting Desperately To Hold
This Strategic Point, the Capture OF
Which Would Place the British
On the Highest Ridge.

London.--Some idea of the huge
forces now engaged in the battle of
the Somms, in Northern France, is
given in the Official statement from
Berlin, in which 1t is stated that more
than 100000 French and British troops
are attacking the German lines north
and south OF the somme on front OF
81 miles.
The news from the battle-ground
which has been contested bitterly since
July /, shows no great change in the
relative positions of the Franco-Brit-
ish and German forces.
The British have again pressed for
ward TO the German third line in the
Foureaux wood. northeast Of Tongue
val. This wood is an important
strategic point, the capture of which
would bring the forces OF General Haig
to the highest point on the ridge COM
manding the German positions in the
less billy country beyond, which is
not so much broken UP and not wood
ed, lending itself not so well TO de-
fense.
This probably explains the desperate
attempts of the Germans to hold the
wood. where the heavy fighting con-
tinues
Testing German Lines.
The Germans are bringing masses OF
troops from Verdun and guns from
other points in an endeavor to stem
the Entente Allied advance Mean
time, the indications are that the
Allies are testing the strength of the
German line at other points. The
trench raid by Australian troops in the
neighborhood of Armentieres attracts
much interest In this connection.
Russians Cross the Lipa.
The Russians have forced a passage
Of the Lipa River and have captured
1000 prisoners and four cannon from
the Austro-Germans.
General Sarhof has crossed the
Lipa," says the official statement.
In the battle on the northern bank
of the Lipa and at the Styr crossings
the prisoners taken by US were in
creased to rs officers and 2,S17 men.
Besides three guns and a vast amount
of material was taken"
Berlin and Vienna had previously
admitted the withdrawal Of the Ker-
ben salient near the south OF the Lipa,
and a retirement to Beresteczk. The
loss OF salients on the Styr, beyond its
confluence with the Lipa, also has been
admitted 1t was asserted, however,
that the Russian advance had been
halted.
The Russians also are striking
blows which imperil the Austro-Ger-
man lines in the Riga sector
The Germans in an attack on the
British on the northern edge Of the
Leipsic salient succeeded in occupy
ing British front trenches, but later
were driven out, according to the Brit
ish official communication.
According to the report the Ger
mans assault on the Deyille wood area
on a front Of 200 yards was made by
at least 13 battalions from four dif-
ferent divisions. The enemy's losses
were correspondingly great. The state
ment follows:
"The battle continues without in
termission between the Lelpsic re-
roubt on the west and Delville wood
on the east. North OF the Bazentin-
Longueval line the British advance has
been pushed to Foureaux wood, from
which we drove the enemy.
