would be remedied as soon as transporta

been waiting for many months for one of
th factions to get military supremacy
and et up a provisional government giv
ing promise of stability. The United
State now will watch carefully the at
titude and policy of th Carranxa author
ities In Mexico City, Put there will be no
decision It Is believed for some time as
to any change of policy on account of
the pressing nature of tha Qerman situa

Heretofore, possession of Mexico City
has not been regarded of much import
ance by oflcials, because of the frequent
changes In authority, but there are now
indications that If General Carranxa can
better hla position by further acquisi
tion of territory north of the capital and
reopen communication with the Amer

moral support of the United Mates will
materially Improve.

the threatened advance on Warsaw is
a little less dangerous than when the

A dispatch from Austrian headquarters
In Gallcla explains the apparent lull In
the Auatro-German advance by assert
ing that the Teutonlo allies fixed Lem
berg as the objective of the present cam
paign with the Idea of establishing them
selves In strong defensive positions to
the northward In order to use part of
their troops elsewhere. It Is claimed that
this has been accomplished by establish
ing lines along the rivers Bug and Zlota
Llpa and the Kraanlk ridge. It la
further explained that the Austrlans pro
ceeded beyond Kraanlk, but encountering
unexpected opposition, retired on the
positions originally selected, where they
have resisted all further Russian at

12.) The relative subsidence of activity on
the part of the Teutonlo allies during
the last week may be explained by the
fact that the goal set for the Lemberg
campaign has alraady been attained, This
was the recapture of the city and the
securing of strong defensive positions
along th line of the lots Llpa and Bug
rivers and the ridge to the northward of
Kraanlk.
The Russians attempted a counter of
fensive from Lublin against the Austro
aerman - positions north of Kraanlk,
bringing up heavy reinforcements for
this purpose. Owing to this movement, trie
Austrian troops, which had rushed be
yond the positions originally selected,
withdrew to the ridge, where they have
been successfully realetlnt all Russian
' attacks. They feel secure In their present
j positions and It ia believed here they can
j be easily held against whatever forces
Russia can throw egninst them,
' Indication now point to a prlod ft
quiet along the Rusao-Gallclan front,
while the Teutonlo allies are preparing
for operations In other quarters.
