WAR DEPARTMENT is BUSY

WASHINGTON, July THE Unit
ed States government was ready to-
day to send to General Carranza a
formal acceptance of his proposal,
that pending international difficulties
be treated by direct diplomatic nego-
tiations. Secretary Lansing had com
pleted the draft of a note conveying
this assurance for presentation to the
cabinet today and early transmission
to Mexico City.
The war department was busy as
sembling for the first time in history
the United States regular army re-
serve of four thousand or five thousand
enlisted men recetly retired from ac-
tive service, but still subject to call in
case of war or emergency" An
nouncement was made last night that
these men would be summoned to
assist in organizing additional regular
army units about to be former uder

On the other hand, material

families.
The series of conferences between
Counsellor Polk, of the state depart

can Observation-Disclosures for which
the forthcoming note doubtless pre-
pares the way, may extend beyond
the question of protecting the border
against future bandit raids and go
into the sore need of the Carranza
government for financial support.
This possibility created considerable
interest among administration OIL
cials and diplomats today. There was
no thought, however that the ques-
tion of first Importance IN diplomatic
discussions would be anything except
protecting the border.

VERDUN AT LAST RELIEVED

LONDON, July IA German re-.
treat all along the line of the front
in Russia from Riga to Volyina is
reported today.
The unofficial news to this effect
comes from Petrograd through Rome.
1t declares that a triple defeat for
the Germans in the Riga, Kolki and
Baranovichi sectors caused them to
begin a movement of their whole
from westward. Petrograd recently
has announced successes in regions
mentioned in the Rome advices The
last report from the vicinity of Kolki,
in the Crucial Volhynia sector, re-
corded the capture by the Russians
of more than $500 prisoners, half a
dozen cannon and 90 machine guns.
A great battle is raging along vir-
tually the entire front of the British
offensive in Northern France.
At daybreak the British launched
new drive east of Albert, Impor-
tant tactical successes were gained in
several sectors, London announces.
The German simultaneously at
tackled in France near the river Acre
and north of Fricourt. They sue
ceeded in temporarily occupying two
or three hundred yards of ground
lost in the earlier drives.
The chief advantages gained by
the British were in the vicinity OF
Ovillers Contalma~son and La Bois-
selle. Near La Boisselle. in an en-
gagement last night, German
trench more than a half mile in
| length was captured.
Meanwhile the French, both north
and south of the Somme are resting
on the ground won in their advances
| of last week Efforts of the Ger
| mans to break the lines now held
by the French before Peronne, at
| one point within 10 miles of that

PROBE OF MEAT
PACKING LIKELY
START At ONCE
HOUSE COMMITTEE is URGED BY
CATTLE PRODUCERS START
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO REPORT
ON NEXT TUESDAY.

WASHINGTON, July members
of the house judiciary subcommittee
were considering informally today
whether they shall recommend fed
eral inquiry into the meat packing
industry.
The committee had before it a
mass of testimony taken during hear
ings which began in March and end
ed yesterday, on Representative Bor-
lands resolution for an investigation
by the federal trade commission. Rep
resentatives of the cattle producers
favored such an inquiry. The packers
opposed it on the ground that it would
be detrimental to their business. Cat
tlemen argued that the action was
necessary to insure reasonable meat
prices to consumers.
The proposed inquiry, if ordered
may be broadened to include all
questions and marektig of meat
products and allied industries. This
is provided for in a substitute reso-
luton offered at yesterdays hearing
by Walter l.. Fisher, counsel for the
National Livestock association, and
accepted by Representative Borland.
The subcommittee will hasten its
deliberation in an attempt to report
to the full committee which meets
next Tuesday. 1t is considered doubt
full, however, whether its work can
be finished by that time.

GREAT BATTLE IS RAGING

LONDON, July THE second
phase of the great battle on the
western front has begun. The artil-
lery has been brought up to new po-
sitions and is battering the German
defenses. The bombardment extends
as far northward as La Bassee and
Armentires. and according to the
latest unofficial advices, is particu-
larly intense. The British long range
guns are shelling the German posi-
tions and the roads in their rear and
until the infantry again leaves the
trenches it will be uncertain where
the next attacks are to be launched.
In addition to inflicting losses on
the Germans in men, guns and terri
tory, the AngloFrench offensive Is
reported to have compelled them to
withdraw some of their forces from
the Verdun front. Consequently 1t is
expected in London that the army
which for nearly five months have
held back the Germans in that re-
gion will have some relief from con
tinual fighting.
| On the eastern front the Russians,
who apparently have even a better
supply of guns and ammunition than
their adversaries seem to pass from
one phase to the next without inter
| mission.
General Letchitzky's army, which
| conquered Bukowina and cut the
railway between Delatyn and Koros

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE trop-
ical storm which struck the Gulf
coast last Wednesday appears to have
about spent itself Weather bureau
reports today indicated the storm cen.
ter was over Nrothern Mississippi,
with tendency toward northeast
ward movement, that it's energy was
diminishing
The first reports received by the
bureau from Mobile and Pensacola
since the storm showed that the wind
reached a maximum velocity of 106
miles an hour at the former city and
so miles an hour at the latter city.
The barometer at Mobile was down
to 1892 inches at p. m. Wewnes-
day.
No high winds were reported from
the interior after the storm passed
inland, but torrential rains fell over
Alabama and Mississippi.
The loss of at least seventeen lives
and property damage which may total
several million dollars hive been
been reported with practically every
town in the devastated district heard
FROM
All the deaths thus far reported
occurred Thursday near Beloit. All
were negroes. Resorts along the coast
| in the vicinity of Mobile have not
been heard from and it is feared that
there may have been some fatalities
at these places.
Property damage in Mobile was
reported not very great. Damage in
| Pensacola was reported to have been
conlned largely to the water front
| and shipping in the harbor, but only
| the most meagre reports were obtain
able from that place. The maximum
wind velocity was reported at 104
miles an hour Wednesday afternoon.
Laurel, Miss, reported that the
property loss there will aggregate
! 100000. There was no loss of life.
Jackson and Meridian reported con
siderable damage to crop and farm
buildings.
Reports from Gulfport, Biloxi, Pass

with no loss of life.
Buildings and crops in and around
Beloit and Tallahassee, in Alabama
were damaged and crops suffered
throughout the storm area.
Traffic between New Orleans and
Mobile and Pensacola over the Louis
vile & Nashville railroad has beer
suspended, but Thursday night trains
were sent out from New Orleans tC
Mobile. Railroad officials were not
optimistic that they would get through
because of washouts and debris re
ported on the track.
One Louisville & Nashville passen
ger train was reported marooned be
tween New Orleans and Mobile.
The wire prostration extends
throughout southwest Alabama ant
Mississippi, as we'll as part of Flor

is the prostration that accurate esti
mates of the damage will not bt
