the diplomatic conversations, which it
is hoped will result IN a settlement
of differences between the United

General Carranza as to how they
should proceed.
State department officials believe
more can be accomplished through in
formal conferences between Eliseo Ar
redondo, Mexican ambassador desig-
nate, and Frank L. Polk, acting secre-
tary of state. than by more formal
change of views. They are willing to
accede, however, to some other plan
should the de facto government pro-
pose it.
Ready to Exchange Views.
Washington, July 8.-Declaring the
government of the United States is
prepared Immediately to exchange
views as to practical plan to remov

difficulties which have been the cause
of controversy. Secretary of State
Lansing has just dispatched to Mexi-
can Ambassador Arredondo a reply to
General Carranza's note of July 4.
The American government com
ments favorably in the note on the
frank statement of the difficulties
which have unfortunately arisen," and
expresses qualification over the "un-
reserved expression of the desire OF
your government to reach an adjust
ment."

Crown Prince Still Pounding
Heavily Against Verdun.

London, July 1.-THE French in
operations south of the Somme have
advanced to within about a mile Of
Peronne at present held strongly by
the Germans. They have occupied Hill
81, which commands the Somme to the
southeast of Biaches and have streng-
thened their positions between Biaches
and Barleaux.
Desperate fighting has occurred be-
tween the British and the Germans at
Trones wood against which the Ger
mans launched six desperate attacks.
Five of these were repulsed, accord
ing to the British war Office, but the
sixth was successful in that it per-
mitted the Germans to penetrate the
wood where latest reports said the
fighting continued.
British Make Gains.
The British troops, however, made
some gains in the neighborhood of
Ovillers and Laboiselle and in a par
ticularly powerful attack on the Ger
man position in the Nametz wood sue
ceeded in winning some ground where
previously the resistance had been too
strong to break.
The forces of the German crown
prince are still pounding heavily
against the French positions at Froide
Terre, Fleury and the Fumin wood, in
the Verdun sector, but so far as the
official statements show the actions
have been confined to bombardments.
No Halt in SIav Advance.
There has apparently been no halt
OF the Russian advance toward Kovel
in Volhynia. The latest communica.
ton from Russian headquarters shows
that the two opposing armies are in
the midst of terrific struggle.
In the Dvina sector and east of Bar.
anovichi the Germans have delivered
strong counter attacks and are under,
taking extensive offensive operations.
The fighting between the Italians
and Austrians continues with undated
fury, the Austrian official statement
describing the repulse of Alpine forces
between the Brenta and the Etsch riv.
ers, more than 500 Italian dead being
left before the Austrian trenches.

preparing to fall back on the whole
Galician front.
British Gains Important.
London, July 10.-The British have
resumed their sledgehammer blows
against the German lines in the Som
me sector, and after day of terrific
fighting, carried the German trenches
at these points along the front. Lat
est reports from British headquarters
say fierce fighting is continuing.
The British gains are characterized
by the war Office, as important from
tactical viewpoint. Their greatest
success was east of La Boiselle, where
they captured German trenches In ex-
tent of nearly 1000 yards and to q
depth of 500 yards. This gain is in
addition to 1000 yards of trenches
taken by assault Thursday night.

Storm Death Toll May Exceed 100.

Washington, July 11.-Over hastily
repaired telegraph wires bearing brief
dispatches, news began reaching here
of the terrific hurricane which over
hrned schooners and barges, battered
yharves and took a heavy toll of life
along the gulf. From 48 to 60 hours
old, the dispatches still were incom-
plete and disconnected. 1t is certain
that water still is high in, the rivers
even for miles inland from the gulf,
and that thousands Of acres still are
flooded. The loss Of life is said to be
likely to exceed the estimate Of 100.

GERMAN UNoERsEA MERCHANT
MAN SLIPS INTO CHESAPEAKE
BAY AFTER COMPLETING
1000 MILE VOYAGE.
BEARS MESSAGE FROM
KAISER TO PRESIDENT
Great Submersible Brings Dyestuffs
and Mail on Longest and Most
Hazardous Trip Ever Attempted
by Any Submarine-Carrfes
Two Small Guns.

Baltimore, Nd, July 1.-THE worlds
first submarine merchantmen, the
German underwater liner Deutschland.
has anchored below Baltimore.
She carries mail and a cargo of tons
of costly chemicals and dyestuffs and
is to carry back home a similar amount
of nickel and crude rubber sorely need
ed by the German army.
Throws Caution Aside.
Sixteen days out from Bremerhaven
to Baltimore, the submarine reached
safety between the Virginia capes at
1:45 o'clock in the morning passing
in on the surface covered by heavy
pail of darkness which settled over
the entrance of the bay with the set
ting of tell-tale half moon.
1t was the completion of 1000
mile sea voyage, the longest and most
hazardous ever attempted by any sub
marine.
Three hours later, led by the tug
Thomas F. Timmins, the great sub
mersible began the last leg of its voy-
age up the Chesapeake bay for Balti-
more. D..
Carries Two Small Guns.
The Deutschland carries, mounted in
its coming tower, two small guns, Of
about three-inch calibre. No torpedo
tubes are visible. It is capable Of
submerging in less than two minutes.
On the surface of the water the sub
mersible has speed of from two to
three knots an hour more than the
average merchant steamer.
According to Captain Frederick
Cooke, Norfolk pilot and the first
American to board the Deutschland,
the crew wore regulation uniforms of
German merchantmen seamen.
No flag was displayed when the
Deutschland first appeared off the
capes. Later, when inside the bay,
the German merchantmen ensign was
raised.
Starts Underseas Business.
Captain Cooke said the commander
of the Deutchland was extremely frank
in stating his mission to the United
States, that of instituting an undersea
merchantmen export and import bus
mess between the United States and
Germany.
The Deutschland left German port
on June %, and, although it encount-
cred a number of merchantships and
one warship, the commander said he
easily escaped detection by submerg-
ing.
Reaching the vicinity of the Virginia
coast the Deutschland remained far
outside, knowing that the capes were
guarded by enemy warships, and came
IN that night under cover of dark
ness.
Passes French Cruiser.
Captain Cooke declared at one time
he was within 500 yards of French
cruiser outside the capes, but passed
in unobserved.
According to reports brought into
Norfolk and credited to members of
the Deutschland's crew, the summers
ible arrived off the capes late Thurs
day afternoon, but was detected by
the English and French cruisers on
guard, and was forced to run, the
chase lasting until Saturday morning
before the warships gave up the hope
less task and returned to their sta
ton.

that the less fiery of the strikers

only in the interests of law and order

ton.
