WASHINGTON, July 3.—Despite the I
failure of Carrana t<> reply to the Wil
son ultimatum it is the general opinion j
here that the Mexican difficulty will 1»*
s t'Ged amiably and the apprehension of
the. past week is now visible dissipated
^^ministration officials believe that the
f slowness of the Carranza government is
the surest indication that Carranza and
Ins advisers are going over the situation
with great care and with an active real
Izatlon of just what may be expected ;
from hasty or ill advised action.
The work of mobilization along the bor
l« r continues, however, and every prep
aration is being made to place the bulk
of the regular army in the held at a mo
ment's notice. Reports from army head
quatrers at Sait Antonio state that four
tilths of the regulars can be sent for
ward into Mexico within twenty four
hours.

BKRR1N, July 3.—While admitting tin
gravity of the great allied rush along
the Franco-Belgian front, the headquar
ters staff asserts that tin* weight of the
attack is steadily diminishing and at
several points lias been completely halt
ed. The military authorities have little
fear that the allies efforts will have
greater effect than the much boasted
drive of last September.
The general staff is also optimistic over
Hu* eastern situation owing to the rap
idity diminishing effect of the Russian j
activities. It is claimed mat the Uus
sans have readied the ultimate of their
offensive against the .Austrian front and
will he forced to fall hack unless they
are able to capture both Kowel and
Tarnopol. 'The possessions of these high
ly strategeaieal points result in a se
vere straining of the Russian lines. Out
I side of Hukowina the Russians are nn

TERRIFIC FIGHTING

LONDON, July 3. War office bulletins
'this evening state that tin* severe ftglit
j ing of the past font* days continues along
j the western battle front with the British
and French forces adding still further
gains t<» the large strip of territory re
| gained since the commencement of the
• great drive.
The heaviest fighting is still along the
Somme where the Germans have made
I determined efforts to retake the posi
tions captured yesterday. The report
say, however, that the Germans have
been repulsed at practical*/ every point
with heavy losses. The British losses
are also admittedly severe.
The great success achieved by the al
lies has caused remarkable rejoicing I
throughout Kngland and the public are
displaying the most extravagant mani
festations of Joy. Whether or not the
great oflensive is the start of the long
promised drive is still in doubt and the
authorities profess to know nothing ot
Hie reason for the great movement. By
many it is thought that the general of
fensive is notiiing more titan an attempt
to divert the Germans from Verdun. Ac.
cording to the Baris war office reports
tlte German offensive at that point is but
slightly lessened, however, despite the
vigor of the allied attack in other sec
tions.
