London dispatches say the Bul garian premier has promised a state ment concerning his government's peti tion. Public opinion In Italy also to aroused, although there are no Indica tions that this nation will chance Us policy of armed neutrality at thto tine. : A Paris newspaper, in a description of the recent battle at Notre Dame De lorette, says that the Geraans leet a,. 11 00 men. Although they succeeded to capturing the three lines of French trenches they are said to have been ex pelled from them In a furious nlgftt ! battle. The fighting in the Carpathlaaa, which for prolonged and desperate m ; counters rivals any phase of the war, ! continues without a decisive victory fer I either side. The Austrian forces an still on the offensive, an official state ment from Petrograd says, but appar ently neither s{de has given ground. In Northern Poland the Russians are stfil pressing forward In an effort to expel the Invaders, but apparently the re sistance of the Germ ana has stiffened, following their defeat at Przasnysa, and they are holding their positions firmly. Today's official statemeuts indicate that there was no fighting of great Im portance yesterday. The French claim slight gains, in Champagne and Lor raine. The German statement asserts French attacks In Champagne were re pulsed. In the eastern campaign the Russians apparently are maintaining the offen sive in North Poland. The German statement tells of Russian attacks at several points, but asserts that all were repulsed. WARNING SENT TO ~ CARRANZA BY U. S. Cratlaunl From Klrat Pag*. diplomatic corps in Mexico City had decided to leave, cabled his legation there, saving that after learning what steps the American government had taken, he advised the corps to remain in the capital and await developments. Strong Measure May Be Necessary ' j .lust what move now is contemplat '• j ed, is known only to President Wilson and a few of his closest advisers, but it ; , was apparent from the attitude of of : (icials that it was realized tlvat a new | crisis was at hand which might have 1 i to be met with strong measures. r | The general impression in official ; quarters was that even though the use • of force had not been threatened in the note to Carranza, the American govern- I ment was prepared to meet eventuali ' ties and would hereafter pursue in in , sistent course to compel protection for . foreigners and their interests. Secretary Bryan, himself would say . only that there was no change in condi j.tions at Mexico City from tho serious ; state of affairs of the last few duys. He I said no word had eonie directly from I Car ran/.a in the last two or three days. | When asked whether Carranza and ; j Obregon were at odds and whether the 1 j former could control his Mexico City _ : commander. Secretary Bryan replied " ! that the State Department had evi i , dence that Obregon recognized Carr&n --j za as his superior officer, but could not • I say definitely whether any friction had ' ] developed. Embargo on War Materials j Secretary Bryan stated that the plse i ing of an embargo on all shipments of r munitions of war to Mexico had not • | been considered in the present situ ation. Such a move would be of little r practical effect, it is said, by ofticials, because most of the arms and amniuni -1 tion available in the United States has been contracted for at high prices by t>he European belligerents. 1 March 8. —American ; government, officials pin their hopes for 1 an early improvement of couditions In Mexico City on General Carranza. There were indications, it was said to i day, that he might instruct General H Obregon, in command at the capital, to , accept aid proffered by an international 1 relief committee there, which has made f up a relief fund and asked for trans ' portation facilities necessary to bring supplies into the city. Two communications sent by the j Washington government to General ?
