CARRANZA IGNORES PART OF U. §. NOTE Commissioners Named to Re- solve Differences Referred to in Previous Communication. MAY BE UNSATISFACTIRY Washington, Aug. 4 —General Car- ranza's reply to the last American note accepting his suggestion for a joint commission to adjust border dif- broader ferences, but proposing a or the commission’s work, was scope delivered to the'State department to- day by Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexi- can ambassador designate. It an- nounces the appointment of three Mexican commissioners with instruc- tions to “devote their attention pref- erably to the resolution of the points mentioned in the previous note.” Thus, the de facto povernment ap- parently rejects the proposal that the . commission cousider other questions than the military situation and limits its discussions to the subpects origi- nally suggested by Carranza—with- drawal of American troops from Mex- ico; formulation of a protocol to cov- er future operations against bandits and investigation of interests which may promote raids. . Whether this will Ve satisfactory to the United States government has not been indicated. The note was Spanish and when he went to today's cabinet meeting Acting Secretary Polk declined tb discuss it until an of- ficial translation could be made 1f it is accepted the next step will be negotiations between Mr. Polk and Mr. Arredondo to fix the time and ! o | communities. place for meetings of the commission- ers. - President Wilson already has under consideration a score of names suggested for the American member- ship. Text of Note. The text of the note follows: \h[er Secretary: 1 have the honor to transmit to your excellency the following note, which I have just re- ceived from my government: “Mr. Secretary: In due reply to the eourteous note of the Department of state, dated July 28, 1916, have the honor to say to your excellency that the first chief of the constitu- tionalist army in gharge of the ex- ecutive power of the Mexican re- public congratulates himself upon laudable efforts of the Amerigan gov- ernment to arrive at a solution of dif- ficulties between the two countries, and to that effect, considering it of the greatest importance that a prompt decision be reached of the points which have caused the existing diffi- culties between the United States and Mexico referred to in the note of the Mexican government, dated July 20 last, has seen fit to appoint at once a commission of three persons, constituted by Licenciate Luis Ca- brera, Engineer Ignacio Bonillas and Engineer Alberto J. Pani, to whom instructions have been given to devote their attention to the resolution of the points mentioned in the previous note of this department. “Licenciate Eliseo Arredondo has been authorized to treat with the De- partment of State in th@wmatter of details relating to the place and date in which the commissioners of the Mexican government should meet the commissioners of the government of the United States, in order to com- mence their labors. “I reiterate to your excellency the assurance of my highest consider- ation. Signed, C. Aguilar, Secretary of Foreign Relations.” “] avail myself of this new occasion to renew to your excellency the as- sweance of my highest consideration, E. Arredando.” - Envoys Will Start Soon. Mexico City, Aug. 4—The depart- ure from Mexico [City for the United States of Luis Cabrera and Alberto Pani, who, with Ygnacio Bonillas, have been selected to reach a settle- ment with the United States commis- sioners of the questions at issue be- tween the two countries, will not be long delayed, according to belief here, bt It is possible. the commissioners may travel north on vessels of the Mexican navy, the Bravo or the Zaragoza, which are now at Vera Cruz, if it appears that their de- parture would be delayed by the in- frequent sailing of merchant vessels. e Hughes Prepares For Trip West Bridgehampton, Aug. 3.—Charles E. | = Hughes spent today going over the raterial he expects to use in speeches during his western trip.

War Summary DESPERATE FIGHTING 1s In progress north of Verdun, where the French three dnys ago took the offensive and have scored notable gains in the effort to drive buck the Germans, who had been ham- mering at the gates of the fortress for more than fite months. AFTER PUSHING to the outskirts of the village of Fleury, three miles north of Verdun on Wednesday night, the French brilliantly attacked the place yesterday and carried it by storm. Last night the crown prince’s troops launched @ furious counter attack and succeeded in retaking the southern section of the villagé, being unable to wrest the northern portion from General Niville's forces. IN THE ATTACK on a three-mlle front east | from the.river Meuse the French pushed north along the river toward the Vacher- auville wood and the Cote Du'Poivre and further east attacked and gained posses- sion of the Thiaumont redoubt. They found the Thiagmont position untenable, however, beca: of the German bom- bardment and were compelled to with- draw from it. MEANWHILE FIGHTING on the Somme front has dwihdied to mimer operations. London reports the gain of some ground in such operations to the west of Poxzleres. AFTER HAVING BEEN temporarily held up In the Stokhod region by the persistent Teutonic resistance, the Russians have succeeded in effecting & new advance, ne- cording to Petrograd’s officlal announce- ment today, éapturing the village of Rud- ka-Mirynskaia, on the Stavok, a tributary of the Btokhod. This success brings them within nineteen miles of Kovel.
