VILLA REPORTED ACTIVE
Mexican First Chief Informs Wash
, ington of Defeat of de Facto
Troops and Warns Against
Raid on Texas Border.
WASHINGTON. July 7. Inception of
the diplomatic conversations which It
Is hoped will result in a settlement of
differences between the United States
and the de facto government of Mexico
awaited tonight a suggestion from
General Carranza as to how they should
proceed. State Department officials be
lieve more can be accomplished through
informal conferences between Eliseo
Arredondo, Mexican Ambassador-designate,
and Frank L. Polk, Acting Secre
tary of State, than by a more formal
exchange of views. They are willing to
accede, however, to some other .plan
should the de facto government pro
pose it.
Mr. Arredondo transmitted to his
government today a brief and friendly
note handed to him by Secretary Lan
sing, expressing gratification over the
turn affairs between the two govern
ments have taken, and accepting pro
posals for diplomatic settlement of
points in dispute. The communication
was approved by the Cabinet before
it was sent to the Mexican embassy.
Note Brief and Friendly.
The text of the note, addressed to
Mr. Arredondo, follows:
"Sir I have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of your communica
tion of July 4, 1918, in which you trans
mit a note addressed to me by the Sec
retary of Foreign Relations of your
government, and to request that you
will transmit to him the following
reply:
"Mr. Secretary I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your cour
teous note transmitted to me by Senor
Arredondo on the fourth instant, in
which you refer to my notes of June 20
ana oune zo, ana to assure you oi tne
sincere gratification of my Government
at the frank statement of the diffi
culties which have unfortunately arisen
in our relations along the International
boundary and the unreserved expres
sion of the desire of your government
to reach an adjustment of these diffi
culties on a broad and amicable basis.
The same spirit of friendship and of
solicitude for the continuance of cor
dial relations between our two coun
tries inspires my Government, which
equally desires an immediate solution
of the matters of difference which have
long vexed both governments.
Speedy Remedy Desired.
"It is especially pleasing to my Gov
ernment that the de facto government
of Mexico is disposed to give quick as
well as practical consideration in a
spirit of concord to the remedies which
may be applied to the existing con
ditions. Reciprocating the same desire,
the Government of the United States is
prepared immediately to exchange
views as to a practical plan to remove
finally and prevent a recurrence of the
difficulties which have been the source
of the controversy."
Officials noted that Secretary Lan
sing had laid stress on the desirability
of quick and practical consideration to
the immediate conditions along the bor
der which have been a source of con
troversy. The language of the com
munication plainly intimates that a
speedy solution of that problem will be
sought, whatever time may be allowed
afterward to find a means of aiding the
de facto government in restoring: nor
mal economic conditions throughout
Aiexico.
Carranza Gives Friendly Warning.
Additional evidence of the friendlv
attitude of the Carranza government
came today in the form of a warning
communicated by Mr. Arredondo to the
State Department at the direction of
General Carranza in connection with
the battle between Villa and Carranza
lorces at Corralitos. The message ad
mdtted a serious defeat for the Car
ranza troops and asked that the Amer
lean forces be cautioned to exercise un
usual vigilance along the border, par
xicuiariy in tne Big Bend region In
Texas, as there was reason to believe
the bandits were headed that way to
precipitate a new border incident. The
message was promptly forwarded to
r uii&iujl aa a matter or infor
mation.
At the- same, time the State DeDart
ment received a report from an Amer
ican In Mexico that he had seen and
talked with Villa personally near Cor
ralitos a few days before the fight re-
portea in tne Carranza message. The
bandit leader was said to have entire
ly recovered from wounds received at
Columbus, except that he used a cane
ana walked with a slight limip.
Villa Reported at Corralitos.
This message, the source of which
was not revealed, added that Villa had
been continuously in the Corralitos
region since the American Durxult wam
halted by the clash at Parral, the first
outbreak of hostility against General
Pershing s expedition by Carranza sol
fliers. Corralitos is a short distance
southeast of Parral and the detachment
or American cavalry which was as

To accomplish this result they are
throwing every ounce of effort Into the

Columbus Raiders Still Fighting.
The Information received here, how

are fighting desperately, since they dis
approve of a possible agreement oe-
tween General Carranza and the United

Denial Made at Tokio That American
Interests Are Affected Toklo
Klated Over Extension of
Home Influence.
TOKIO. July 7. The Japanese For
eign Office today announced as the sub
stance of the Russo-Japanese conven
tion signed at Petrograd on July t. the
following:
First Japan will take part in no ar
rangement or political combination di
rected against Russia. Russia will take
part in no arrangement or political
combination directed against Japan.
Second In case the territorial rights
or special interests In the Far East of
one of the contracting parties which
are recognized by the other contracting
party are menaced. Japan and Russia
will oonsult with each other on meas
ures to adopt with a view to supporting
or extending assistance for th safe
guarding and defense of these rights
and interests.
To a question from the Associated
Press representative as to what effect
the alliance would have -upon the open
door and the Integrity of China, the
Foreign Office replied:
"The convention la effectually an em
phasis upon and an extension of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance based upon the
territorial Integrity of China, whose
open door and integrity are not endan
gered. American trade and interests
are In no wise affected."
Secret Clmae Denied
The Foreign Office denied affirma
tions In Japanese newspapers that the
convention contained secret clauses, de
claring that while the summary given
out was the substance of the conven
tion it also was virtually the text of
that document.
The accord, which is virtually an al
llance. Is regarded here as of historic
Importance as concerns the future de
velopment of the Far East and world
politics generally. It ends a long period
of hostility between the two empires,
which culminated in the Russo-Japa
nese War. and strengthens the position
of Japan as a first-class power.
Now that Japan and Russia are pool
ing their interests In the Far East, they
will free themselves from the necessity
of regarding each other as possible
enemies in the future and from main
tenance of large bodies of troops on
their respective frontiers.
The Impression In Toklo Is that the
convention is framed to meet attempts
at the extension of German Influence
In the Far East, believed- to be un
desirable, while the hands of both
powers are strengthened in dealing
with the situation in China.
Englishmen and- Frenchmen claim
that the accord will check efforts at
German aggrandizement after the war
and prevent China becoming the cause
of a new International turmoil.
Japanese Are Elated.
The Japanese are elated over the
conclusion of the convention and the
signing of the document will be com
memorated at a ministerial banquet and
probably by a popular lantern celebra
tion.
The newspapers welcome the exten
sion of Japanese Influence in the Ori
ent. The Times cays:
'England. France, Russia and Japan,
banded together, can thwart all Ger
man Intrigues for a subsequent war.
Furthermore, the maintenance of peace
in the Far East must fall more heavily
than ever upon the shoulders of Japan
and Russia.
'It Is learned that the entente has
decided upon the exclusion in future of
Germany fr'om the quintuple coalition
regulating China and that it has been
decided to sound American financiers
regarding the active participation of
America in a loan to. China for the re
organization of the republic."
The treaty was drawn up in tne
Japanese and French lantnia g. but
BERLIN STILL CONFIDENT
Continued From Flrat Page.)
English and French reports, neither of
which assert rear success.
Berlin Believes Peace Nearer.
There Is no discounting the feeling
here that the unexpected slowness of
the Anglo-French advance makes peace
look nearer, for If, after all these most
tremendous preparations, the great al
lied armies, about which there has been
so much talk in London and Paris, can
not tear a single hole in the German
front, and the impregnability of the
latter is demonstrated. It makes the
allies" military efforts elsewhere seem
futile. As a matter of fact, the German
advances at Verdun in the last 10 days
show really greater results than the
allies' offensive.
At the same time the German-Aus
trlan counter-offensive is pushing back
the Russian lines at Volhynia and
Bukowina, and it Is believed here that
the Russian offensive la definitely over.
The only result besides the fearful loss
in Russian dead was that it compelled
the re-entrenchment of the Austrian
lines In the Italian Alps.

WAUKEGAN. 111., July '7. Dr. Ralph
W. Webster, toxicologist, engaged In a
prolonged duel today with Ralph F.
Potter, who, with James II. Wllkerson.
is defending William H. Orpet, a col
leee student, against the charge of
murdering Marion Lambert, a high
school girl, with potassium cyanide on
Februarv 9 last.
The defense rested Its case during
the forenoon and rebuttal began. Mrs.
Margaret Touker rebutted the testi
mony of her sister, uorotny .mason,
who testified for the defense, and for
the rest of the day Dr. Webster was
ncaeed In defending the testimony
which he gave for the prosecution eany
in the trial.
Hours were consumed in the most
delicate play of words and phrases.
Mr. Potter was trying to get the wit
ness to admit that he did not "Know
absolutely when he testifiede that pol
son found in the Orpet ash heap was
cyanide of potassium.
Sufficiency of Analysis Questioned.
The technical point Involved was the
sufficiency of the analysis on which
Dr. Webster based his statement that
the eubstance was 49 per cent potas
slum cyanide.
Answering a hypothetical question, in
which the analysis of the defense chem
lsts was assumed to be correct, the
witness said that to get the cyanide of
potassium which was found In Marlon's
stomach she would have had to take
more than two pounds of the substance
taken from the Orpet ash heap, or t
have drunk a two-quart solution made
of It.
Mrs. Touker admitted having aided
In an attempt by State's Attorney Dady
and his associate, David R. Joslyn. to

his arrest. She Is married to a brother
of Miss Celestla Touker, with whom
Orpet testified he had an understand
ing in the nature of an engagement.
Letter Falls to Trap Orpet.
Attorney Joslyn, she admitted
drafted a letter to Orpet. It was copied
with little change by Celestia, who
signed her name, and dispatched It by
Mrs. Touker to Orpet at the aukegan
jail. The letter requostel him for the
good of all concerned. If he were guilty,
to make a clean breast of it- Orpet
replied aa follows:
"Dear Celestia: Tour letter is all
bunk. Whatever Joslyn says Is a
lie. I am awfully sorry you fell for it.
Even if your faith is not enough to
counteract ths State's Attorney's story,
I can still fight it out alone. Good
bye, then. I am sorry for the trouble
this has caused you, and I'm glad you

WASHINGTON WITHOUT DETAILS
Specific . Information Is Awaited
With Keen Interest.
WASHINGTON. July 7. Beyond a
brief message from the American Em
bassy at Petrograd saying that the
special Russo-Japanese convention has
been signed there, the State Depart
ment Is without official Information on
the subject. The Japanese Embassy
here is In Ignorance of its nature, but
embassy officials express conviction
that in no respect will the new treaty
be Inimical to American Interests in the
Far East.
So far as the open door is concerned.
It is pointed out that the mutual un
derstanding of Russia and Japan to
defend territorial rights and special In
terests in the Far East without doubt
is based on existing zones of control
and influence Involving recognition of
the burden of the rights of other
countries to trade privileges. In effect
It was said the new treaty simply tends
to strengthen those obligations by put
ting behind them the power of two
nations instead of one.
State Department officials are keenly
Interested in details. The fact that all
obtainable Information haw com from
principals naturally disposed to mini
mize any possible harmful effects upon
interests of third parties has made it
advisable to- await more specific in
formation from American embassies at
Petrograd and Toklo before reaching
a determination aa to the attitude of
the United States.
