Russ Armies in Action.

Simultaneously with the opening of the Anglo-French offensive the Russian ar-rnies are again attacking on the whole length of their front. An entirely new offensive has been opened against Prince Leopold's Bavarian forces in the regio cf BarqunovichI, where the Russians hav pierced the German lines at; two places, while- the- Italians are maintaining strong pressure along the entire front. The British newspapers consider that these events prove that the moment of mo gitai miueez-e nas ai last arnveu, end not since the war began have hopes ran so high, Nevertheless, almost every British correspondent! on' the western front warns against being over sanguine and daily reiterates that the progress iryist necessarily be slow and methodical.

The Associated Press correspondent In a phrase records one of the Never Again Until Next Fourth of July. WAR SUMMARY The French troops, cooperating with the British in Somme river retrion. have straightened their line somewhat by the capture of Barleux, Beloy in Sant and Estrees, and are advancing on a considerably wider front toward Perrone. At Estrees, where 500 prisoners were the fighting is still going on furiously: On the British end of the line only slight progress has been made at some points. Unofficial dispatches say that the entire British front of ninety miles is bearing its full share of the battle, but it is to ward the south that the heaviest fight-In is under wav.

A high British officer is authority for the statement that the artillery prepara tion will precede all further infantry attacks, as the resourcefulness, determination and fighting qualities of -the Germans as well as the power of their de fenses are well recognized. Although the French are making a steady advance In the Somme sector, without apparently heavy casualties and now face an easier task, according to ex pert opinion, to reach tkeir objective, the river itself, the army is engaged in particularly heavy fighting, the Germans not having permitted the battle of the Somme to interfere with their opera- itons for the capture of the great fortress. On the Verdun front the Germans have taken the Thiaumont work for the fourth time after a terrific bombardment and by a massed attack. Around this work, which has been the center of desperate attacks and counter attacks for many days thousands of men have fallen, for this is-a position which is essential to the Germans for carrying their advance nearer to Verdun itself and to the French to keep their resistance intact. Russians and Italians are lending all their strength to the combined blow against the central powers, and Bucharest reports a significant movement of Russian patrols, who are said to have advanced from Kimpolung, In Bukowlna, and entered Hungarian territory.

All along the Russian front engagements of the severest character are In progress, and the Russians, driving north from Kolomea, have advanced more than twenty miles and are threatening; to out flank Gen. von Bethmer's army and the Austro-German forces in the Tarnopol region. Should this Russian movement prove successful Von Bothmer may have to fall "back on Lemberg." The Russians report the capture of many guns and more than 3,000 prisoners on the various sectors of the eastern front. Though the official communications with respect to the battles along, the Austro-Italian front give only a meager idea or the situation as a whole, that Issued by the Italian war' office Indicates that the artillery and infantry fighting is of a continuous and desperate nature. The Austrian war office is silent regarding th9 operations against the Italians.

Mr. Hughes spoke from a knoll on the village green. He motored over from his summer -tome here to review the village preparedness parade and had not intended to address the crowd.

"It is an odd experience that I am going through, picking up the threads of old relations. I think I have lived at least five years in the last three weeks.

It seemed to me a3 though there had been suddenly dropped from my life a period which represented the highest ambition I had characterized.

AT THE MEXICAN EMBASSY FULL TEXT WILL EE GIVEN TO PUBLIC TODAY. TRYING TO AVERT A BREAK First Chief's Communication Said ta Be Couched in Conciliatory Language Specific Statement cf Attitude Toward American Expedi' tionary Force Still Lacking.

Washington, D. C. July 4. Gen. Car-ranza's formal reply to the two sharp notes he has received from the Washington government regarding the situation on the border and in nothern Mexico was at the Mexican embassy here tonight awaiting presentation tomorrow to Secretary Lansing by Eliseo Arredondo, ambassador-designate.

It here by telegraph early In the day, and only the fact that the Fourth of July was being celebrated by all government departments prevented its Immediate delivery. A veral synopsis of. the commucicatien. made public by embassy attaches with the approval of Mr. Arredondo, Indicates that- It is of an unexpectedly conciliatory character.

The ambassador himself epent the day in the country, and cn Ms t- turn excused himself from any dieu- sion of his government's attitude as now officially stated. Not Specific, Claim. Lacking the text of the note, it was Impossible tonight tb say whether It would prove satisfactory to President Wilson. Since -the release of the American troopers taken at Carrizal the question at issus between the Washington government and Gen. Carranza has been narrowed to.

Mr. Wilson's desire for a formal declaration or intention toward tn American expeditionary forces In Mexieo. The embassy synopsis of the new note Indicates that a specific statement etill is lacking. Only a close study of the reply will disclose whether it will be necessary to press Geru Carranza again to affirm or deny the hostile construction placed upon his orders that the American troops be attacked If they moved in any direction ex cept the border. Without doubt the effect of the embassy statement as to the note's character has been to relax still further the dlplomatlo tension between the two governments.

The release of the Carrizal prisoners already has stripped" the situation of it Immediately dangerous character. It Is en tirely possible, however, that American officials will not fully share the optimistic views of the Mexican embassy when they are able to review the language of the Carranza note. TJ. S. to Go Half Way.

One fact stood out clearly tonight In the minds of officials familiar with President Wilson's desires and purposes. If Gen. Carranza sincerely desires to find way for peaceful settlement of the dilfl-culties between the two governments he will bo met more than half way. The diplomatic discussion foreshadowed in that event, however, would have to be wholly aside from the steps the Washington government deems it necessary to take to. protect American lives and property along the border.

No proposal for immediate withdrawal of Gen. Pershing troops would, be entertained as a prelim inary to a further exchange of views on joint operations against the bandits.

Theodore Roosevelt, addressing his fellsw villager at a Fourth of July celebration here today for the first, time in several years, asserted that he preferred war to the peace that the United States Is at present having with "Mexico. He added that in the event of an actual declaration cf war and a call' for volunteers he would give his homefolk the first opportu to Join with him in proffering thtifserv-ices to the government." Col. Roasevelt declared, however, that he would rally around him the single men and those without families dependent upon them, rather than choose promis cuously from all classes of men, as in the case cf the national guardsmen now called to the border.

nrty NEW HOME FOR A. F. OF L. WILSON DEDICATES LABOR TEMPLE IN WASHINGTON. BIG CROWD IN ATTENDANCE President Declares Difficulty of Insuring Dispassionate Counsel Has Been Greatest Barrier to Industrial Peace Suff Heckles Speaker.

Washington, D. July 4. President Wilson today dedicated "to common counsel and a common understanding" a labor temple erected here as the new home of the American i Federation of Labor. He told a large 'audience gathered at the dedicatory exercises that the greatest barrier to industrial peace has been the difficulty of insuring candid and dis passionate conference, and that "getting our fighting blood up" was "the long way and not the short way" of securing rights. The presiient's address was interrupted twice by a woman suffragist who sought to heckle him regarding his opposition to i a national suffrage amendment.

She was silenced by secret service men and finally taken away by the police. The Congressional union announced to night that the effort was the first step in a new campaign to impress democratic leaders with the advisability of passing the amendment at this session of congress. Mr. Wilson's plea for calm counsel brought repeated applause from the crowd, who apparently interpreted It as having a direct bearing on the Mexican crisis. Mexico Not Mentioned.

The presidenti however, did not refer to Mexico or any other foreign country by name. "The way we generally strive for rights," he said, "Is by getting our fighting blood up, and I venture to say that it Is the long way and not the short. If you come at me with your fists doubled, I think I -can promise you that mine will double as fast as yours; but if you come at me and say, 'let us sit down and take counsel together, and If we differ with one 'another understand why it la that we differ, just what points are at issue, we presently will that we are not so far apart after all; that the points on which we djffer are few and the points on which we agree are many, and that If we only have the patience and the candor and the desire to get together, we will get together." The president scarcely had begun to speak when the first Interruption came The questioner, Miss Mabel Vernon, of the woman's party, was standing only a few feet from him, and when he de clared that in his position he was not permitted to think of any one class of persons, she shouted; "If you truly desire to serve all classes, why do you block the national suffrage amendment now before congress Four million women In this country Silenced by Of ficers. The-hite House secret service men made their way to Miss Vernon and quickly silenced her. She tried unsuccess fully to Induce them to eject her.

When she again sought to interrupt the presi dent a few minutes later, however, city police led her away from the speaker's stand. She was not The president apparently was vundis- tturbed by the Incident. He paused upon MEDICAL CORPS BEING FORMED FOR SERVICE Mexican Federal Board of Health Organizes Body to Act in Case of War. Mexico City, July 4. A call was rent out today by the federal board of health for a meeting of medical men for the purpose of forming a corps to serve in the event of a foreign war.

Volunteers under SO years of age are called for, and it is planned to form those who serve into three groups, in accordance with their age and previous experience. The younger men are to serve in the emergency hospitals, while the other men will serve in hospitals in headquarters and in towns. Supplementing this call is one for women, who are to receive emergency training for field service as nurses, and the further proposition Is made of establishing some medicine factories to offset the danger of having supplies usually furnished from the outside cut off. Offers have reached the army headquarters from several sections proposing the formation of brigades of amazons, it being said that women to the number of many thousands desire to serve in the event of war, and ask that they be trained In the manipulation of the rifle. Two thousand of these women are reported to hava offered their services in the state of Sonora, and others In the: west coast and southern states have followed their example.
