London.-The period OF comparative
calm which has existed on all the
battle fronts for some time, except
in Roumania, continues. In no the
ater aside from Roumania has an i'm
portant engagement taken place. the
activity everywhere being carried ost
by means of the artillery and by small
patrol parties
In ROumania the Teutonic allies
have gained another considerable sue

brudja of the towns of Matchin and
Jijila, on the eastern bank of the Dan.
ube opposite the important town OF
Braila, forcing the Russians TO a point
just south of the Danube where the
river bends and separates Dobrudja
from Bessarabia
In Modvia and northern Wallachia
the invaders are keeping up their
gains both northward and eastward
from the Pennsylvania Alps region. AT
several points in the center of the
lines in northern Wallachia however,
the Russians and Roumanians are te-
naciously fighting to hold them back,
and, according to Petrograd, in the re.
gion southwest of Fokshani and near
the river Rimnik the Teutonic allies
were defeated, the defenders taking
several villages and capturing six of.
ficers, 205 men, five cannon and eight
machine guns.
On the western front lively artillery
duels are in progress in Belgium and
on several sectors in the region of
Verdun. On the Austro-Italian front
bombardments alone have taken place.
There is still no news concerning the
operations in Macedonia.

TO END
WITHOUT RESULT
COMMISSION FAILS TO Improve
RELATIONS BETWEEN UNITED
STATES AND MEXICO.
Officially Admitted That Carranza
Has Refused to Sign Protocol; Mex.
lean Ambassador Has Been Re-
called by His Government.

Washington.-When the American
members of the Mexican-American
joint commission had finished consid.
GRAFTON on Tuesday OF General Car.
ranza's reply failing to comply with
their demand that the protocol proyid-
ing for withdrawal OF the American
troops from Mexico be ratified. there
were indications that efforts to enter
into an agreement with the de facto
government through the commission
would be abandoned. For the first
time an official admission was made
that CarranZa had refused to sign the
protocol.
The failure of the commission to
give to MeXican-American relations
brighter aspect was offset somewhat
by official limitations that Henry P
Fletcher, confirmed as ambassador to
Mexico almost year ago, was about
to start for his post, where American
interests now are represented by a
clerk. The report that General Per
shing's expedition soon would be
withdrawn, regardless of Carranza's
attitude, also gained fresh impetus
and 1t was understood the administers
ton had this move under serious con
sideration.
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambas-
sador designate, announced during the
day that he had been summoned to
Mexico to confer with General Car
rama regarding the relations of the
Two nations. This was construed in
some quarters as indicating a deter.
mination by Carranza to withdraw his
diplomatic representative. Mr.. ARE
dondo stated, however, that he ex,
pected to return within a few weeks
to resume his duties.
