French troops, after n brief Idll Inst
night, have resumed the attack against
he German front north and south of
the Sommc. French artillery is shell
ing the third line of Teuton defenses
before Pcronnc, while the infantry un
der General Foch ha3 gained new
ground north of Hem village, which the
French captured yesterday.
Tho Germans have launched strong
attacks north and south of tho Ancre.
Tho British made n slight advanco in
the fighting at Thiepval, northeast of
Albert. South of La Bassee Canal
British troops raided successfully a
number of enemy trenches, bringing
back prisoners. Highland infantry en
tered enemy trenches near Hulluch,
capturing and killing many Germans.
With French troops now almost in
the outskirts of Peronne, the Germans
are reinforcing heavily, particularly
on their right flank northwest of the
village. 1
Admissions that the British have
made -progress at Thiepval and that
the French have captured Belloy-En-Santcrre,
on the Somme P.iver front,
are contained in an official statement
issued by the Berlin War Office today,
Jt was stated, however, that the British
gain at Thiepval was balanced by suc
cessful counter-attacks by the Germans.
The Kaiser and members of tho Gen
eral Staff arrived on the west front de
termined to halt the Allied advance at
any cost.
Today's communiques show that the
first phase of the new offensive is over,
and, while the infantry activity is still
intense, the principal business of the
Allied armies for the next few days is
again to pavo the way with heavy guns
for another forward dash.
In brief, the main achievements of
the Anglo-French troops are these;
First. The capture of nearly a score
of strongly fortified villages from the
Germans.
Second, The capture of about 16,
000 German soldiers, as well as many
heavy guns, some of which had been
eent north from Verdun.
Third. An advance of from six to
eight miles on both sides of the Somme
over a front of 20 miles.
So rapid was the French advance
south of the Somme in the early stages
of the fighting that German detach
ments were cut off during the night in
some instances .ana surrounded, before
they knew they were under attack. A

WASHINGTON, July 6 Secretary of

hour's conference with the President, that
an Immediate reply would be sent to Car

future negotiations with the de facto Gov
ernment would bo conducted solely through
diplomatic channels. Ho made It plain that
while this Government regarded mediation
favorably It did not think It was required In
the present Mexican situation.
Tho department Issued lhe positive state
ment that General Pershing's expedition
would not bo ordered out of Mexico at this
time as a result of Carranza'a note. It was
made emphatically plain that tho American
troops would not be withdrawn until further
assurances are received that the border wilt
be protected against raids similar to that at
Columbus.
The fact that Carranza did not disavow
orders to General T,revlno to fire upon
American troops left a 'real Issue, hut
officials view his reply as Indicating a de
sire to clean tho slate and start anew.

COUNTER-ATTACKS VAIN
Another Town on Dolatyn-
Korosmczo Railway Occupied
by the Czar'a Forces
Tho Russian right wing, on which
rests the defense of the northernmost
sector of the front north of the Pripct,
has attacked the German lines in tho
Riga zone, according to an official an
nouncement made today at Pctrograd,
nnd has pierced the first-line1 trtnehes
of Field Marshal von llindcnburg.
Probably the attack was made After
the Russian staff noticed that troops
were withdrawn from that sector to bo
sent to France, and in order to pre
vent further shifting of German unita
to the western war theatre.
Pctrograd announces that the Rus
sian forces operating in southern Ga
licia have cut tho railroad between
Delatyn nnd Korosmczo, "the principal
line of communication for tho Austro
German forces defending Lemberg."
Dclntyn is on the Pruth River, about
20 miles west of Kolomca; Korosmczo
is in the Carpathians, near tho Tar
taren or Magyar Door Pass. Delatyn
itself i3 nbout 100 miles southwest of
Lcmbcrg, too far from the Galician
capital to endanger seriously its de
fense. Moreover, the railway between
Delatyn nnd Korosmezo is not the only
one or the main one linking Lemberg
with Hungary or the rest of Austria.
The city can freely communicate with
tho rest of tho empire north nnd west
of tho Dniester through at lenst three
more railroads, two of which lead into
Hungary across tho Carpathians.
However, tho Delatyn - Korosmezo
Railroad was tho only direct communi
cation left to the Lemberg forces to
keep in touch with tho remnants of
General von Fflanzcr's army, which
probably have retreated across the
southern ridgo of tho Carpathians into
Transylvania. It i3 likely that the
Petrograd official statement intended
to refer to PflanzcV's army when it an
nounced that "the main lino of com
munication for tho forces defending
Lemberg" was cut.
Certainly the Russian success is very
important, as it clears the Carpathians
west of Kolomea of the Austrian forces
and compels them to "seek another route,
some 40 miles to the north, to com
municate with the centre of the Teuton
armies.
