FATE OF FRANCE
HINGES ON FIGHT
AROUND ARRAS
One of Great Conflicts of War Now
Raying in Northeastern France
Losses on Both Sides Fearful
Eight Mile Field Covered With
Corpses Loss of Lcmherg Certain.
LONDON, Juno 22. Wireless .lis
patches iWn Herliu report tlio 1ml
ilu which has been in progress for
some time in the vicinity of Arras,
Northern France, as one of the great
conflicts of the war, which may de
cide the fato of France. Losses of
both the Germans and the allies arc
described as fearful, and one stretch
of the field from Arras, eight miles
toward the Belgian border, is said to
lie covered with corpse. The offic
ial French and Clcnnan statements of
today give few details of this liattle.
In Alsace thoro was heavy fighting
along the valley of the Fccht river,
and the French assert their lines
were pushed further northward. The
llcrlin communications say the Her
man positions were transferred to
the eastern hank of the river.
Iomltern'M Fall l&Mtcclcri
Nothing but n sudden and unex
pected blow b Grand Duke Nicholas,
commander-in-chief, of the Russian
forces in the field, can now save
Lemberg in the hands of the Rus
sians for nearly ten months, from re
turning to its former owners. The
almost immediate evacuation of the
citv !v the Russians is expected in
Loudon.
After yielding on the Grodek lines,
the Russian armies retired to virtu
ally tho nutshiits of the citv of l,oin
licnr itself. The Austrian official an
nouncement on hostilities speaks of
the Russians as attacking at many
ufiinls. but heso fluids are assumed
1 F ----- --- -' - -
in Loudon to be merely incidents of
the lear guard actions to enable the
main forces to withdraw.
llctivnt Well Ordered
In the opinion of Hritish observ
ers, this retirement hns been up to
iln lm-MMil n well executed move
ment. Dispatches reaching London
say the armies of Kmperor Nicholas
nre virtually intact and that their
ability to rosumo the initiative once
their ranks have been refilled and
their ammunition replenished, has not
been grcatlv impaired.
This interval, however, it is ar
gued here, will give the Germanic al
lies opportunity to reap the fruits of
the ielorics in Galieia. They will
be able lo withstand assaults from
the cast with much smaller forces
than were required successfully ta
attack and land masses of men will
be released. Successes 41 f the nllies
on the western front suggest a con
siderable access of German strength
iniiv be a development of the near
future in this field, while rolcnsed
Austrian forces will be used to stem
the advance of tho Italians.
To Ketnln Lilian
On the other hand, the Germans in
North Russia nnd Poland are bus
ilv consolidating their gains in a
manner which suuge-ts more impor
tant movements in those regions. The
seaort of Lilian is strongly fortified.
Heavy naval guns have been in
stalled and Prince Henry of Prussia,
who was recently there, is credited
with the statement that the Germans
intend to retain possession of Lilian
at all co-Is as they regard this port
to be the ke to the Rnltic.

ABOARD V. S. S. COLORADO,
off GuiMinas, Sonora, Max., dune 22.
Fifteen hundred Villa troops un
der General Sosa were promised as
protection for foreigners in the
Ynqu'i valley, al a conference aboard
the Colorado todav between Admiral
Howard, commanding the Pacific
fleet, and his staff, and General
Leyvn, military cotnmaudant at
Ouavmas. General Leyvn said Hint
the landing of American marines
uiiulit be misinterpreted by the
masses of the Mexican peonle.
Under the nwnings of the flagship
were gathered Admiral Howard, Gen
eral Levva, Y. .1. Phillips, the Amer
ican consul at Giiuyinus Captain
Ashley Robertson, commanding the
Colorado, and Captain George Will
iams, commanding the third-class
cruiser Cleveland.
Promises IM-otectlon
To the Amerienns, General Levva
promised the snme protection as that
which would be afforded Mexicans,
and said further that in case of im
minent danger 1111 ndequuto guard
would escort them to 11 plaeo of
safety.
Serious complications, he said,
might follow the landing of au Amer
ican force, because such act might
not be understood bv the "coplo at
large in its true li'dit. lie charged
that the Yaniiis were buying their
ammuuilion in the Fnited States.
General Leyvn discounted nnv pos.
sihility of n conference, with Yaoui
chiefs. Tliev never permit foreign
emissaries in the presence, be de
clared, and besidos. have "all the
treachery and hloodthirsliness of the
Apaches."
Victims llndly Mutilated
The Mexicans thus far killed, he
Ucscrineil as Having oecii unrrioiy
mutilated, and he said that crops just
Inn vested had been carried awav by
tho Indians as provisions for future
raids.
Land communication with tho bor
der, General Leyva said, would soon
be lost, because the railroad was in
operatible dining the period of heavy
rains.
Information thus far received in
dicates that about seventy-five men
remain of the normal American set
tlement of ;iOII around Kspcranzu,
ninety miles southeast of Giiaymas.
About r0(l() acres are still under cul
tivation as against a normal culti

holdings in the Yaipii valley amount
to ,mO,()IIII acres, mostly in the name
of the Richardson Construction com
pany, a Mexican corporation whose

delayed until tho remittitur of the

reached Justice llendriek. Thuw,

Whether the fact thnt Thaw was
acquitted of murder by 11 jury would

nnd whether ho bad been prejudiced

of tho ease, were questions asked
jurors by John II. Stanehfield, Thaw's
