Russians Cut Railroad Line. A success of the first importance is reported by the Russians, who claim to have cut the railroad running from Lemberg, the capital of Gal Delatyn. This is the main communication for the Austro-Ger- mans defending Lemberg and allied military critics have insisted that the cutting of this railroad would compel the ceniral power forces to fall back on a wide front and place Lembers in imminent peril. The Russian war office, in a late communication, also claims the rout of the cnemy forces on the right bank o ftie Dniester. The views expressed in Berlin re- specting the Anglo-French offensive reflect confidence on_the part of the Germars that the German line will hold and that German control of the territory now occupied in France and Delgium will remain steadfast. The uccesses so far attained by the ench and British are looked upon as of minor importance. Rumania Again Figur Rumania has again come into the light and talk has been revived of the possible entranfe into the European war of that country. Despatches tell of the recent decision of the two strong opposing factions in the Ru- manian political arena to act togeth- er hereafter. Their attitude is said to be in favor of intervention on the side of the entente allies. Constantinople officially reports that he Ttussians have been driven out of Kermanshah, in western Persia, while the Russians claim to have broken the Turkish line east of Baiburt. The number of Russian prisoners captured south of the Pripet river in the month of June, according to the Berlia statement, reached more than 23,001 men. NOMINEE HUGHES SPENDS BUSY DAY IN NEW YORK.

Crisis Dissipated. The crisis precipitated by Villa's raid on Columbus, N. M., and culmin- ating in the fight at Carrizal, Mexico, between American and Mexican troops, appeared tonight to have been dissipated by an amicable note from General Carranza presented during the day by his ambassador-designate here, Bliseo Arredondo. The note proposes that the differ- ences between the governments be sett'ed by mediation or by direct ne- tiations, Brief and Friendly. It is remarkable for its brevity, its restraint and friendly tome, and for the absolute lack of any of the strong, even insolent language which char- acterized the last two communications from the ce factc government. 1t ats as a closed incident the ex- of unfriendly communications brought war almost within le from the state department A copy was forwarded te # FHouse immediately upon its t and President Wilson will de- the course to be pursued.
